However, I did notice that the idiot in the left lane failed to signal his intent.

I think the circles are designed to work that way to prevent idiots from changing lanes in the circle. Notice the solid lane dividers? That means you're supposed to stay in your lane. How would anyone in the left lane ever get out of the circle if he can't change lanes or cross the outer lane to exit? Notice the dashed lane divider, allowing the left lane to exit the circle? But maybe you were complaining about the outer lane guy?

My understanding is that the outer lane is for taking the first exit -- turning right immediately. At least that's what the Villages sales lady told me when I asked her how the traffic circles are supposed to work.
Mmm, I think you need to look at the video again before you start throwing insults. The white car can go right or straight, but not left. The car with the camera can go left or go straight, and he went straight. He's not required to signal to go straight...not sure what your eyes were looking at.
