It is hard to tell if this is a serious question or just trolling.

If you are entering the roundabout while another vehicle is approaching in the inside lane then it is no surprise at all that you sometimes get cut off.

Our Emperor built the roundabouts and we do not ask WHY?

There is not to reason why,
There is but to do and die.

Into the roundabout,
Rode the six hundred.

Yes. More people seem to understand how an intersection works.

That's because - in a roundabout, if you want to "take a left" you go around the circle 3/4 and then turn your steering wheel to the RIGHT to exit the circle.

At an intersection, if you want to "take a left" you turn your steering wheel LEFT to exit the intersection.

I'll be the roundabout
the words will make you out and out
I spend the day your way
call it morning driving through the sound and in and out the valley...

Looks like this post didn't turn out the way OP planned. As hard as it was to decipher the OP, it seems as though traffic law has escaped him/her as much as grammar lessons did.

I would bet against you. Roundabouts in TV are the most confusing round abouts that I have ever seen. Using your scenario you need to cross over the outside lane of traffic.

OMG did you read any of the past pages? He is correct.

Look at the dashed lines on the road. The dashed lines leading from the inside lane, over the outside lane and to the exit means the inside lane can exit. The outside lane needs to yield.

After reading all of the posts, it seems that about half of the people in the Villages have no idea how to drive in a roundabout!

I have learned that you must be extra careful in roundabouts and assume that people are going to make illegal turns. Best course of action is avoid other cars if at all possible!

Another example of why you should NEVER drive alongside another vehicle in a roundabout.

No offense, but you are giving bad advice.
If cars are in correct lane, and enter when both lanes are clear to the left, no car has to give way to any other car in the roundabout.
That is the whole point of a roundabout system.
Unfortunately most Villagers seem to have their own interpretation of the system, that is why there is so much confusion.
It is a really a simple process, if you bother to take the time to just learn the rule!

Absolutely correct!
However, mama always says stupid is as stupid does.

The top reasons for problems in RBs:

1) drivers going to 3rd exit in outer lane
2) drivers entering RB when another vehicle is approaching in EITHER lane
3) drivers cutting across inner lane from outer lane and back again when going to 2nd exit
4) drivers trying to take 1st exit from inner lane
5) Idiots coming to dead stop in RB presumably to let someone enter (or play on cell phone 😂😂😂)

If we eliminate those actions (or drivers 😂😂😂) we might have those flawless RBs

That's a big "if". I stand by my statement.

The problem with standing by that statement is that the driver in the outer lane that you state must yield has already proven they are an idiot by either trying for the 3rd exit in the outer lane or entering when a vehicle was approaching
