That's not how roundabouts work. They're really simple:
That's it. This only gets complicated if traffic is backed up, in which case everyone is going slow enough for it to not matter.
Nice, I don't know why, but I was picturing the pink car going fast enough to squeal their tires like they used to in the one nearest where I live. We only got roundabouts here a decade or two ago, so they're still a novelty to most. I don't drive much, as you can probably tell.
Yeah, speeds in a roundabout should be very slow, like 15mph/20-25kph. Bigger ones can handle a bit faster traffic, but they're not designed for high speed, but lack of stopping.
And I envy you, I wish I didn't need to drive as much.
