I was visiting Hilton Head Island in South Carolina a few years ago and while there I hired, sorry, rented a car (apparently you rent the car, but hire the driver) and had to negotiate roundabout there, and boy did it feel strange! Even looking back, my memory tells me we went round it clockwise but I know that can't be right.
Mind you, I wasn't the only one who found it strange, the local tourist channel ran an public service video every hour or so telling visiting Americans how to deal with it.
