If I had not been watching them to see they were clueless, I'd have been killed before getting the chance to see the second doofus do that.
One of them was driving the most oversized, black Lincoln SUV that's so big and high off the ground that it could have run right over me in my car if I'd not been watching like a hawk so I could get out of their way. This person (who'd been creeping along like a little old lady) could not have maneuvered a tiny Smart Car safely, much less that giant truck.

Not true. There are broken lines within the round-a-bout. Changing lanes is perfectly legal and can be done safely just as if you are on a straight road. The rules for a round-a-bout are not different than for that of a straight road.
