Ok round circle is not straight, you’re either turning left or right, it I understand if you’re in the circle it’s assumed your going straight. I agree the right lane. Vehicle should of turned right using blinker light cause your exiting the straight circle. If the right vehicle was going straight actually turning left in the circle) and he hit the vehicle in the left lane he’s will most likely 99% of the time get the ticket.

So the left lane can never exit. The left or right lane vehicles should never be beside each other. If traffic in either lane of roundabout the incoming traffic has to yeild, even it there no traffic in the right lane, the right lane vehicle can’t pop out and block the right way of the left lane traffic. If you enter roundabout with vehicle beside you one of you have to yield if the right lane vehicle goes to second exit. the right lane vehicle by roundabout guidelines should never go around to third exit. When I enter round about I never allow vehicle to be beside me, I speed up or slow down, use my blinker light to let people around me know which way I’m going. It really don’t matter what type of street you’re on there always going to be somebody doing something wrong or breaking laws. Roundabout no different.
