    A does have the right of way over C. And the OP has a quite violent interpretation of transit rules that only make sense if it’s a large roundabout with a low speed.

    Also, the pink car has the right of way over both. Both are quite right at stopping there, and D is invited to keep stressing themselves to death.

    Now, if the pink car decided to stop and wait for A, then it maybe is worth pointing it to them.

      I got my driver’s license pretty recently and in driving classes I was always told to look at the left first to see if anyone is inside the roundabout, and then to the right to see if I have to let someone go before me (on small roundabouts). Think it from a logical standpoint: A wouldn’t even need to completely stop to let C in first, while, if A goes first, C needs to stop and wait while A passes in front of them.

      It may be a new rule, because no one seems to know about it (or pay it any mind).

        The OP’s idea here is that since A is stopped, C has plenty of time to enter the roudabout. That’s reasonable if the roudabout is large, and crazy if it’s not.

        Your idea that C can enter anyway, even if A didn’t stop is just crazy.

        Really? I thought you never look to the right in a roundabout. You look to the left, and if it’s clear, you enter and look forward until you exit. That said, I’ve never been to a small enough roundabout that there could be a conflict just after entering.
