Well, the big deal is -- they are dangerous. People don't know how to 
use them. Ironically, about an hour or so after I made the original post 
I had to do an errand, which took me through a roundabout. Couldn't get 
through because of the fire truck, ambulance and police cars that were 
there mopping up an accident that happened a bit before I got there. 
Other than being dangerous, I guess they are fine.
