May depend upon signage. Some folks say that it is against the law to change lanes once you are in the roundabout. That logically cannot be correct. If you are on a two lane road entering a two-lane roundabout that has four inlet and outlets and you plan to go to the 3rd exit, you are normally expected to enter on the inside lane which allow exit on the 2nd and/or subsequent exits. So, you enter the inside lane and pass the 2nd exit , you now need to switch to the outside lane to exit at the 3rd exit from your start. However, you may be in competition with someone who has entered after your start. That is where your driving skills are put to test. That is not the time to assume you are OK to turn because you are ahead of the competition. This is the time to actually see acknowledgement OK to turn or make another revolution. You also have to understand that others may have a different understanding than you. Also, you have to pay attention to road markings
I spent many years in the Boston area with its much more complex road system and rotaries. The common theory there was to make sure you got the other driver's attention and agreement before a move.
It is irresponsible for posters to make statements of law that are not known to be true.
