It really is like a whole new concept, after nearly five years - I can't believe that I didn't realize how much I missed it. But I think part of the reason that I put off getting a driving licence here for so long was because we were right next to transportation before... not very good sometimes, but it was there. Where we live now, it's at least a ten-minute walk either way just to get to the nearest bus.

Roundabouts are all over the place in the UK, and while that one really is just a very normal roundabout with another roundabout at the end, it still made me a little nervous every time I approached it. That was just the highlight of my route from my parents' house to university - they can, however, get much worse.

(As you mention it, roads are significantly wider here... it throws my positioning off.)
