Here in the unfree UK, there's no crime of jaywalking on ordinary roads. Some special roads (motorways) are prohibited to pedestrians, but the assumption in law, if not in the minds of motorists, is that the pedestrian was there first, and has precedence.
No wonder you can't understand roundabouts.
It's the kind of thing that makes me hope people like Schwarzenegger get really poor when they are old.
