Roundabouts in the US
After watching an episode of Father Ted ( Speed 3 ) it occured to me that you dont see roundabouts in American Films. Am I imagining this ? Do they have roundabouts in the US?

The Americans would be talking away in the back of the minibus and the second they got near a roundabout there was deadly silence. Once they'd past the roundabout they'd carry on talking as usually. NONE had ever seen one before.
Lived in USA for 3 years. Did not see any roundabouts but lots of junctions with no lights. The rule is simple. the first one at the junction has right of way. It works and many Americans driving in the Uk think the same rule applies and are waiting for the first one arriving at the roundabout to go. Me thinks thats what they do.
