The dreaded roundabout

Dear Andy: I have a 38 year old daughter that has just gotten her license. Recently our area has approved to put in 41 roundabouts within a 60 mile radius. I am terrified; we were recently stuck in a roundabout one afternoon while going out to lunch. 10 passes later and we finally got out. How do I teach her to get through the roundabouts without panic?

Dear Stephanie: Here in Washington we call them the satan's ring of fire. I know a guy who entered a circle back in the spring of ’87 and he’s still goin’ round. There is only one rule for successfully navigating a traffic circle: don’t fuck up!
