Re: Roundabout Incident - Who is at Fault?

My first inclination is to blame the cam owner for his terrible music.
After that, you really can lay the blame with the road engineers for their poor signage.
The Red car is clearly at fault, but you can understand where the confusion lies.
The operation of the roundabout appears to be standard, and the signage reflects that, however the oblique angle of the roads makes it confusing.
The Cam car is in the left lane and is permitted to take the first exit left, or carry on straight (taking the 2nd exit) and is apparently doing the latter.
The Red car is in the right lane, and is therefore only permitted to go straight (2nd exit) or "right" (3rd exit) but instead tries to take the 1st exit.
They might have thought they were going "straight", when in fact they were taking the cross-road exit, at maybe 135 degrees.
