I know this is memes but as a Brit, I’ll never understand how people are scared of, don’t understand, or don’t see that roundabouts are superior.

It takes a few goes in them during driving lessons and they get easier.

I read somewhere that in America to get your license, you take a 40 question quiz, that you can pass with up to 10 mistakes and the driving test usually consists of low speed driving and parking, no highways, no roundabouts.

Don't know how much of this is true, but that sounds too simple.

Yeah. If you're a minor you have to take Drivers Ed that requires a couple hours of driving with an instructor. If you're an adult, you can just take the written and driving test. I think I just drove around the block, and did a reverse parking test for my driving test. Depending on where you live, roundabouts are not common here. I don't think I saw one IRL until I was in my late 20s when I moved to a different state.
