If we are having a conversation, we always stop before entering the roundabout so we can watch the other drivers, and we expect the unexpected, like a person entering a roundabout in the inside lane and cutting across the outside lane to go into the first exit.
2 lane roundabouts appear to be designed by local body shops to maximize their business.
