Why are roundabouts so hard for seniors?

Every single day, I drive through at least one roundabout.

Nearly every single time, some random old bastard either comes to a stop to try to wave me into the busy roundabout in front of them, or doesn't even look before plowing into a loaded roundabout and I have to stomp my brakes to avoid a crash.

I honked at one yesterday and he jumped out of the seat of his enormous pickup truck like he had NO idea there was a car coming, which he didn't, because I was staring him down and he NEVER looked left, just drove straight in without signalling or slowing down.

Is it a gap in driver education? Or are they just too stubborn and selfish to think they should have to learn these new fangled satanic traffic circles "the libruls" are putting in everywhere.

The average driver can barely handle a proper four-way stop procedure anymore, and I think roundabouts are far simpler and work really well when everyone knows and respects how they freakin work.
