It is or should be clear to all that the round abouts are DANGEROUS.
If, you read the rules, you will find that it is legal to make a right hand turn from the left lane. LEGAL IS NOT ALWAYS SANE.
Use of turn signals. WOW. It is rare to see any of you use turn signals. I've seen people turn on turn signals after they have already changed lanes-HUH?
The OP-I of course did not see it BUT, if I understand what you did there was a car in the left lane of the round about and you decided to enter the round about entering in the right lane. YOU ARE WRONG. IT IS SIMPLY NOT A SAFE ACTION. You likely had your car go into the left lane as you made your turn. IF, you did not the driver in the left lane SHOULD have assumed there was a good chance you would cross into his lane.
