Sounds like you didn’t yield the right of way. Go look at the laws for traveling through a roundabout. A car going half way or 3/4 should be in the center lane of the roundabout. In order to exit, they must cross the outside lane. Cars entering the roundabout are supposed to yield right of way to the cars in the roundabout, meaning you must stop and proceed with caution. If you don’t you are at fault , not the person in the roundabout
