Compose a letter to the editor of a local newspaper complaining about the new roundabouts that are being constructed from the standpoint of a very old man who doesn’t like change.
Dear Editor:

I am writing you today to voice my opposition to these new roundabouts that are popping up throughout the city.

Why do we need to change what has worked for 100 years? Stop signs, yield signs, and traffic signals get you where you need to be, and everybody knows how to use them. But you almost need a map to figure out how to use these newfangled roundabouts! Who goes first? Who yields to whom? What lane do you need to be in to stay straight, and what if you need to turn left, what lane is that?

The trouble with the last two generations is that you want change for the sake of change. Change is not always progress. The roundabouts will cause car accidents because nobody knows how to use them, and how exactly is that helping the so-called “traffic problem?” There is no traffic problem. You youngsters just don’t know how to be patient and sit still! You’re all about instant gratification, and you think a traffic circle will keep you moving in some direction or another, which must be better than sitting still.

This is absurd. If you can’t be patient enough to sit through a red light or to come to a complete stop at a stop sign, maybe you shouldn’t have a license.

That’s all I have to say about the matter.

Sincerely,
[Name]
