If someone is in the inner circle, it is best to stop before entering. I do not see how it would be safe to keep moving while trying to leave a gap. The villages roundabouts are a only a few feet deep.

You are taking a big risk by assuming the exiting car will not speed up to cross over. Or, it will slow down sufficiently allowing you to pass. For me, too tight of a space to proceed without stopping. The stop only takes a few seconds. Those few seconds may save my life.

Reading the posts of near hits makes me more determined to stop before entering. Living here 19 years, I have never had a near accident in a RAB and I intend to keep it that way.
