I know I'm repeating myself as I've made this point before, but why would anyone want to use the left lane in the roundabout if they are going straight ahead (continuing on the same road)? I know the rules say either left or right lanes are optional in that situation, but I always stay in the right lane when going straight ahead. This way I never have to worry about anyone to my right as long as I've yielded to any other vehicle in the circle. I find my biggest problems with roundabouts is that I don't always pay enough attention to my speed when entering. When I'm paying attention my speed at entrance, I never seem to have any problem negotiating them.
