Big difference.

I and many others in this and other threads try to describe the turns made at a roundabout like it's an intersection to simplify and make consistent the discussion...exiting at the first exit after entering the roundabout is a right turn, exiting at the second exit is going straight, exiting at the third exit is a left turn.

Your insistence on your definition of what constitutes a "right turn" at a roundabout does nothing but confuse the issue and is a disservice to those novices honestly trying to learn the correct procedures.

Of course you have to steer to the right to exit the roundabout. Do you really think people are trying to say otherwise?
