Roundabouts

A rough survey (sitting at a bus stop and watching) of traffic going around a roundabout has revealed that lanes are for wuses.
No matter where you enter in the roundabout, be it the inside lane or the outside lane, you exit exactly where you want to be Next - ie, often changing lanes part way around the round about so you can exit into the outside lane, or just straddling the two lanes the whole way through and sort of casually sorting yourself out later, or (and this is a personal favourite...) because you're not entirely sure when/if someone will be exiting, just entering into the roundabout without giving way, and preferably in front of a car.
Blinkers (turn signals here...) are optional, and not really used much, unless they see that you've hesitated to enter the roundabout because it looks like they're wanting to go straight through, so you get a blinker to indicate that yes, they are exiting and yes, you could have gone.
I am sort of surprised there are not more accidents.
The picture above provides a refresher on how to do it. In my experience, this is not how it is done in real life.

ps - this is a late write up, many thanks to my sister for reassuring me at her visit that no, this wasn't normal, and yes, I should tell everyone!
