I like your remark about what happens if you miss your exit from a roundabout. I've done it more than once over my driving life. Even once with a 40 foot articulated rig. The only time it makes sense to put traffic lights on a roundabout is at motorway/A road interchanges where you would end up with traffic queued up for miles on the motorway during rush hour because the traffic on the A road wouldn't give traffic coming off the motorway a chance to move.

I prefer the use of "left, central or right hand" lane, not least when they all exist. The average traffic speed and acceleration of any given vehicle can also affect the movement between lanes when negotiating a roundabout safely. I am a veteran of London's Hyde Park Corner when it used to be like jockeying for position. Toot-toot!!

I got hit by an American at a Roundabout, as I was going all the way round, he entered without stopping, hit me in the side at full speed so that my car span out of control, turns over as it met the curb and rolled through a sign post and into a field. No one was hurt, by the grace of God. When we met at the side of the road I asked him why he crashed right into me. He answered, because he was told that at roundabouts there is no need for you to stop, you just drive right on! Then I passed out and woke up in a Travel Lodge foyer surrounded by people who witnessed the crash.

Maybe I should have recorded my drive today in Glendale, California: stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, average speed 6 (yes, SIX!) miles per hour, and a citation for turning left at the wrong time of day, not having seen a new, tiny sign saying I shouldn't. FUN. NOT.

Excellent comparison between UK and US,, I was born just south of London, moved to US when I was 18. Having used roundabouts, I think the US would benefit from adopting roundabouts. Apparently, many negative comments about lane usage, repeated adnausium, by negative minded people failing to appreciate a complimentary video. Mark thank you for this vid, apologies for the misguided judgements you received. Anyone like to critique my spelling also? Cheers from San Diego, Ca

I recognised that main road, the A505 with the sneaky speed cameras. Coming up to that roundabout one evening I witnessed one of nature's wonders, of one of those mass starling bird flocks in the sky above it, all wheeling around in unison. Marvelous; then they all dived down into the spinney of trees growing on the roundabout to roost for the night. And yes, do take notice what many others are telling you about roundabout lane discipline. Being in the wrong position is especially dangerous if you have motorcycles around you. However, there's no law to say you can't drive round and around on the inside lane all day long.

This video is not at all representative of driving in the UK. In reality our roads are grotesquely overcrowded and due to mass immigration they become more crowded by the day. Even on open motorways it’s likely cars will be stationary for some part of the journey and generally speaking its impossible to calculate how long any journey will take.

Word of warning, you shouldn't drive around the roundabout in the outside lane. If you're in the wrong lane you should just continue and then comeback to the roundabout and start over. crossing over lanes is fine when nobody is there, but is classed as a major fail in a driving test. If your not sure which lane to get / which exit to take get in to the right hand lane to go to the inner lane of the roundabout, go round the roundabout and see which exit to take. Getting in the left lane and not taking your exit will cause problems if you have cars around you.
