How about a 15/20 mph speed limit on roundabouts. Might give me a chance of joining it without some A hole thinking I've pulled out in front of him. 👍👎

We've got a thing called giving way to traffic from the right to control the entrance of traffic onto a roundabout.

If you're not on 3 wheels you're not trying.

TBF though I actually make a conscious effort to slow down on roundabouts here when turning right, pretty much for the reason you're describing. I've nearly been caught out/caught out other people when they don't expect you to make it around as quick as you do.

People using their indicators correctly would help. Pretty much without fail I'll see someone exiting a roundabout while indicating right every day here.

When I was on my Innova,roundabouts were one of the few places I had an advantage. :(
