PS. Sorry to hear about that, Linchpin. I hope your recovery is going well. That merge has seen quite a few accidents. It's not the greatest design but there are a few maniac drivers who can't think a few seconds ahead and plan to actually merge rather than race.
I don't hold ill towards the lady that hit me. She wasn't texting or any of that crap - just not being careful enough on a rainy day.
BOT (Back On Topic) (sort of)
I will say this though. Coming from a place with about 4.5 million people to a place with less than 200k - I have never seen so many boneheaded, ignorant, or downright stupid drivers. Living on the Kona side and having to deal with the tourists constantly staring at the ocean while driving along Queen K was one thing.... but here on this side, it feels like I'm in a bumper car rally full of mentally retarded chickens (no offense to the mental or chickens).
Oh, and back to roundabouts.... I hated them too when they were first introduced. But then I grew up.
