This started me thinking- If you are in the left lane of the round about you always run the risk that someone in the right lane will be in your way when it's time for your exit. Just because you have been passing right turns without taking them- someone just entering on the right could be in your way when you take the 3rd exit.
What am I missing? is there a way for someone in the right lane to avoid getting hit by a driver turning in from the left- or is it 100% trusting every driver in the left to not hit you? Seems like a crap shoot.
Thanks

Think of it this way. If you were at a typical intersection on a four lane road. Would you expect the car on your left to turn right in front of you? No
When the car in the left lane turned in front of you to exit when in a roundabout, it turned Right from the left lane in front of you.
Too many people here just don’t know how to drive.
