I remember almost hitting a cop in a roundabout somewhere in my city because they didn't follow the rules. It's a double-wide roundabout, where the outer ring must make the first right they come to and only the inner ring can continue forward or make a right. I needed to make a right from the inner lane, the cop was in the outer lane and DIDN'T TAKE THE EXIT, and I almost turned into the asshole, expecting him to turn like he was supposed to.
US. Which is probably the number 1 reason for this bonehead move; roundabouts are like unicorns here. Not only that, but they often are done in ways that are extremely stupid and often vary from one town to another so that there is no consistency in the rules. They would be the smoothest, fastest form of an intersection if they were consistent and encountered enough that people learned how to properly utilize them.
