Replace the pink car with a bicycle an A is suddenly not being in the mood to yield anymore.

I was going straight once and had to go back in and do a full turn (180° + 360°) because of that.

All cars will yield to a bicycle in the UK, because less protected members of the road traffic always take priority.

All cars should yield.

When I used to cycle, I'd just go on the pavements at large roundabouts. Not much point in being right but dead.

I personally never had any issues. British drivers are very polite and cautious.

Welp, I'm not in the UK.
Over here, people go with - what is the most threatening to themselves - and it really feels weird that people who have presumably passed the driving exam are worse at roundabouts than me.

I'm a daily cyclist and I think I'd be terrified to bike through a full roundabout. They're absolutely marvelous designs for throughput that doesn't require complex signal automation, but the flip side of that is they're pretty hostile if you're not a motor vehicle. Any truly good roundabout design should include pedestrian and cycle paths along the periphery that have priority when crossing the circles entrances.

On the other hand, I am not expecting a cycle path for me when I am going around the normal road speed. Just if people start understanding the cycles are also traffic and not something to be plo'd over.

But that's not the thing either. It feels like people are just playing a game of 'chcken' all over the place.
