Just make believe it's a 4 lane 4 way stop. To turn right or go straight you would use the right lane. To turn left you would use the left lane. Now drive the roundabout as if those 4 lanes were the same as the 4 way stop.

My favorite was last week I was turning from southbound Belvedere onto southbound Buena Vista, which is the first right turn. A car came up to my left alonside from Belvedere and also made the first right onto Buena Vista but they were using the inside lane. How anyone could think to go to the inside lane to make the first right turn would be OK is beyond me.
