Sounds to me like this was staged. How could you possibly know that this "white" car was going to cut in front of you at that distance?

As the main subject was lane discipline, as in the video, I only commented on that.
As for giving way to traffic in both lanes, before entering, that is definitely a bridge to far for many.
It come in the same category as stopping at stop signs, purely advisory!

The driver in the left lane had the right-of-way to exit. His error was not in signaling his turn. Perhaps you need to learn how round-abouts work.

Left lane, option to take first exit, or continue around the circle to next exit, or go around another time because you missed your exit. The right lane is for first exit safely.

If they were used at least you would have had some warning. Turing left INDICATE LEFT TURINING RIGHT INDICATE RIGHT This applies on roundabouts as well as other turns.

The changing lanes in mid roundabout is also dangerous, what are the white guidelines for drivers !!!!!

The whole idea of roundabouts is to keep the traffic moving. WHEN you use them correctly it works. Sadly this is not the only place where IDIOT driving is seen here.

No, NO, NO!!!!

NEVER take first exit from left lane. NEVER!!!. First exit is NOT an "option"

Right(outer) lane is for 1st and 2nd exits
Left(inner) lane is for 2nd and 3rd exits.

That is why you should NEVER enter a RB with traffic in EITHER lane.

Signals are nice, but I don't trust anyone with their signal on, anywhere. And for the driver who is stupid enough to come right along side you in a RB, they can't see them anyway.

And this is why if they simply made them 1 lane, this issue goes away.

As OBB said up above, if the white SUV had entered at the 2nd entrance instead of the cammer entrance, they could theoretically be in exactly the same place, at exactly the same time, the only difference is that they entered in a different spot.
In that particular case, they'd be perfectly fine with doing exactly what they did as far as the direction, they still probably failed to yield.

Someone is supposed to yield, and the only way to make the yield crash proof is to...NEVER ENTER a RB with traffic. I.E. then what's the point of having two lanes?

Yep, I was here 18 days and didn’t know that others didn’t know how to drive in the roundabout. I was hit on right side-$6k in damages that my insurance had to pay. Then the woman had the nerve to say it was my fault. Incredible...

[Cassieb]

The driver in the left lane DID NOT have the right of way!!

Then the woman had the nerve to say it was my fault. She said I pulled in front of her! Well yeah I did because I had the right of way. Incredible...

This could not happen if the white SUV yielded to traffic already in the circle before entering at the 2nd entrance.

Yes, he did!

The driver in the left lane was correctly navigating the RB, the driver in the right lane was 100% WRONG for trying to go 270 in the outer lane. Clearly, you need to review the pamphlet on RBs they give to every newbie.
