What is so difficult? I'm sick of people just driving through the easiest way possible even if that means going in and out of different lanes.

You can usually spot people who are so retarded(hope your not offended) that they can't use them, but unfortunately nit always.

I just drove onto a roundabout side by side with another person. I was In the left lane he was in the right. I was going straight and apparently so was he. Both came off at the same time and I had to jam on and head the neck to beep at me! The asshole behind me beeps too because I stopped, well he got a good view of my middle finger.

But seriously why can't people use them. It's quite simple.

I blame the government (always blame the government) you should have to rest your test every few years
Now, to add to your post: Try being a cyclist entering roundabouts where drivers don't know which lane to be on and switch over without indicating.

Imagine the excitement I have at times at roundabouts on my bike!

There's only 3 rules you really need to know when driving.

1. Green means 'go'
2. Amber means 'go faster' and:
3. Red means 'first ten cars only'.

Some visitors from Finland managed it ...
There's one in Colchester as well, never driven it myself but my sister has to drive it a couple of times a day. She said when she was learning to drive in the late 90's she never thought she'd get the hang of it but you get used to it quickly enough. I hope they are never introduced here, if people cannot even negotiate a simple roundabout this would cause massive tailbacks lol
