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.

In Ontario / Canada it’s pretty much that. G1 - written test split between signs and road laws but you can only drive with another licensed driver of 5 years experience or more and can’t drive highways

G2 - driving test, low speed no highway. You do basic driving procedures (reverse, parallel, 3 point turn) I imagine doing a roundabout depends on where you live, but where I am they’re not close by so it’s not included.

G - same as above and then you boot down the highway for an exit.

TBH, passing is not hard in the slightest. And that’s improved from what used to be the 365 - you do a test get a license, drive for a year and do a road test after.
