As you APPROACH a roundabout, you will see that you can HEAD right, ahead, or left. But once you are IN the roundabout, you cease to have "left" or "ahead" as an option. All exits are to the right of your vehicle. You're in a circle, going counter-clockwise. Exit is to your right, if you ever want to leave that circle.
A four way roundabout is a crossroad junction same as any other four way junction.
The only difference is the discipline laid down to navigate it.
Directions are left, right, straight on, or U turn.
All this stuff about you can't turn left is pedantic nonsense.
