No offense - but that's just plain wrong. Hundreds of times (probably ALL the time in the winter season) you have two lane traffic heading in the same direction as they approach the roundabout. Heck to take a left you HAVE to be on the inside lane. I'm not sure what you are suggesting. I do agree that getting to the outside lane to go straight is preferable if you can.
It is very simple. Don't cross from the outside to the inside at ANY time while IN the rotary and you can't have an accident. Of course if it merges to one lane then that outside lane is supposed to take that cut through they provide. This is the only times that the lanes merge I think. If you are taking a left (or u-turn) then you need to navigate to the inside lane PRIOR to entering the rotary.
That was my point for starting this thread again. I can't believe how some people think there are other options beside what is called for in the link I provided.
If you have an accident in the rotary it is because someone didn't follow these very simple rules.
