Don’t know rules, don’t drive

In response to Kevin Mooney's concerns with roundabout rules explained in the Weekend Sun (January 17), I feel I must state the obvious.

If you own a motor vehicle and have passed the test to prove you are legally capable of driving this vehicle in a safe and courteous manner in public, then in fact there shouldn't be any confusion. We are more than a fortnight into 2014 and motorised vehicles and highways to accommodate them are far from being a commodity.

I think failing to understand the basic rules of correct road use is quite simply inexcusable.

I strongly suggest any so-called driver who still finds themselves in any doubt as to how to correctly navigate any size of roundabout stops driving immediately. I sincerely hope they do.
