Imagine, if you will, a car approaching the roundabout at 6, intending to exit at 12. Another car has just entered the roundabout at 9, in the inside lane, intending to exit at 3. The car at 6 enters the outside lane immediately after the car from 9 passes. The car from 9 slows down to make his exit at 3 (and of course does not signal). The car from 6 is very close behind him. If the car from 6 is not paying attention, and does not yield, it's collision time.

This is a case where everyone is pretty much following the rules, but danger lurks.
