I love watching US drivers on most English roads, actually. There is always confusion why the roads are so "bendy" for no reason, but a lot of the infrastructure here dates back thousands of years (they were dirt roads pre-Roman times) - in those days, it was easier to go round the tree than move the tree and build a straight road.
Plenty of roundabouts here in New England. Of course, here it's called a rotary. Being that our area is called "new" england, I can understand why we have so many. Just navigated two today in fact....
