Everyone seems to be going in the right direction, no golf-carts, all is good!

Could say the car at top entered before completely clear to left.
But pretty good for TV.

Roundabouts are so simple to navigate but a large % of the drivers in TV can’t figure them out. Hope they have good insurance because Morgan and Morgan will get the innocent a big settlement

Try taking the same in TV. May look a little more eclectic.

maybe there is a trick to figure out, actually there are two, which is needed for safe entrance and safe exits from the graphic in post #7. .

The graphic is designed for the simple concept when all goes correctly, but life rarely goes correctly all the them, especially with the curse of the double a's, age and alcohol

Around a round about if you don't want a crash look at the driver of the cars near you and see them looking at you to be sure of what they are doing. I usually gesture I'm going or wait for them

I thought roundabouts were perilous until they did THIS in Fishers, IN 😳😁

Actually not. The white pickup/SUV is entering the round-about while the small blue car still has the right-of-way to exit. A potential accident right there.
