Quite true, but the concept we are trying to instill is that a roundabout is similar to a regular intersection. You wouldn't make a right turn at an intersection from the left lane, and you wouldn't make a left turn from the right lane. Either lane can continue straight. Most of the problems I have seen at the roundabouts involve someone trying to take the third exit (left turn) while traveling all the way around in the outside lane. Then the person in the left lane who intends to continue straight suddenly has a car right in front of them. Yikes!
