[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 949571, member: 70552"] Usually yes they are obvious in the UK. Can't say i have driven on mainland Europe, but I would suspect at roundabouts you would instead need to give way to the left, instead of right. There are main roundabouts and mini roundabouts. For main rounsabouts it's pretty obvious, but mini ones are sometimes just a cylindrical round dome on the road or just markings with arrows. if there is not enough space to go around i.e. car on the left is waiting I just drive straight over it. And below is an example of one that includes both and is known as the Magic roundabout:) in Hemel Hempstead, which is just outside of London. [ATTACH=full]7236[/ATTACH] I have driven in Florida. Mainly it was getting used to the driving on the left side of the car/ driving on the right side of the road and getting used to centering it as my natural insinct kept pulling the car to the right of the lane I was in. Also remembering turnings - nearside to turn right (to go at traffic lights if it's clear) and far side to turn left. But all a case of getting used to it, which I did after two weeks. Merging on freeways is common sense and just not being a dick (making sure you don't collide with others). Can't say I came across any roundabouts in my two weeks there. Does USA have any? [/QUOTE]
