That's an educational problem. It's much the same here in Canada (southern Ontario to be exact), but the more roundabouts are installed, the better drivers are at navigating them.

One funny story my wife told me was, she was once a passenger in a car driven by someone unfamiliar with roundabouts. Upon encountering their first one, they proceeded to drive round and round, afraid to exit.

The unfortunate truth, is that because there are so few roundabouts here, driving schools do not make it part of their curriculum.

Chicken, meet egg.

However, I am a firm believer in roundabouts. Ignorance is a poor justification for continuing to build four-way intersections in places that do not require them.

My driving school had us drive 25 minutes just to use a roundabout situated in a small suburban town. Gave us the occasion to practice both roundabouts and highway driving in the same session.
