I'd far rather negotiate a large traffic-signalled intersection on my bike than a big multi-lane roundabout - although the little ones are generally fine.

I've taken a personal vow to not speak with a driver using a cell phone. When I speak to someone, I ask if they are driving and if the answer is yes, I ask them to call me back when they are parked, and I hang up. If someone places a call to me, I ask the same questions. I may not be able to influence lobbyists, and be part of the solution, but I certainly will not be part of the problem!
