[Forum] In response to Bruce Hyland’s letter to the editor that appeared in Coast Community News Edition 230, whilst I generally agree with Bruce Hyland, I must take issue with him on the danger of roundabouts.
The way I see it (literally), the problem is not the design per se but the attitude of drivers who simply have no idea how to use them.
You give way to traffic that is already on the roundabout, not barge out in front of someone on your left and expect them to give way to you.
As usual, it always comes down to “the nut behind the wheel”, the bane of transport safety authorities everywhere.
