Do you have traffic roundabouts where you live? I hate those tthings.

    Ooh, I didn't know that, either! Thank you!

    Most UK drivers do seem to approach roundabouts carefully and considerately but some cut it fine.

    The problem of people not indicating is quite widespread though, not confined to any one type of junction, and very annoying when it means they bring you to an unnecessary halt.

    Traffic circles are not the same as roundabouts.

    Seems like a matter of semantics.

    Just a question on the boring evening.

    Don't blink, there will be another one before you get to the next intersection. There are some that are less than a half mile apart. 

    Or, from Jane's visual, they're actually roundabouts.

    Yes, we have them but they are not very common.
