Ok, so I was driving my mum and my sister to a shopping centre today in my car. (the Toyota)
My mum started talking to my sister when I slowed at a roundabout and it was safe to pass. I was meant to go straight on, but instead went to the right, heading the wrong way. My mum went mental and told me I should have known the way to the shopping centre. We carried on down the road (it was a very busy road) and turned left and went down some side street which then lead to the shopping centre.
She told me I have no sense of direction. I have ONLY driven to this shopping centre twice before this event has happened. I find it frustrating sometimes to have my mum in the car with me when I am driving sometimes. D:

Well, they aren't exactly common here and when I hear "roundabout" the only thing that comes to mind is an episode of The Simpsons where they go to London and get trapped in a roundabout for hours. XD
I was thinking that to be honest, the Americans don't have roundabouts. XD
My mum can be rather painful to have in the car at all. She always tries to look for me and ends up blocking the wing mirrors when I try and change lane. D:
sounds rough

If a roundabout is a big stupid circle that supposedly makes turning more "efficient", then yeah we have them.

Yep thats them XD They can be a nightmare to navigate sometimes, because aussies don't know how to use them efficiently unlike the British. :P

I just drive over those ones in the pickup as the middle part is just too big to go around with, though it can be bumpy. :P
A stranger I don't know died in a roundabout
