Here's the situation. Approaching mini roundabout. Options for you are turning left or turning right (90 degrees....used to be a T-Junction).
There's no traffic coming from the left. You're at the give way line.
You look to your right and there's a car some way away doing a fair old speed with no sign of slowing down. You can easily pull out onto the roundabout and be the only one on it.
However, the car to your right (like I say, not yet AT the roundabout), will clip the back of your car if they don't slow down.
Now the sensible option (and one I often do) is wait for the nobber in the car to speed over the roundabout and past you, then pull out. Safe driving and all that.
There have been one or two instances where I've not been able to see the car due to restricted view and his excess speed, and I've pulled out, only to be honked at by the driver on the right because I made him slow down.
Yes, the rule is give way to your right ..... but he isn't technically on your right until he enters the roundabout.
Traffic that's approaching the roundabout has no right of way over you.
