Road markings and signage make up 99% of the road rules, how can you say they don't apply?

I'm pretty sure you can change lanes in an intersection as long as you obey all regular rules for changing lanes.

Cam car didn't merge, he was obeying the signs before the roundabout. Red car wasn't.

Yeah, nah, I'll keep my license and stick to the lane I'm driving in.

That reminds me of the joke
"Been driving for X years and never been in an accident. Seen hundred in my rear view mirror though"

You should avoid crashes if you can, that's why in these badly designed road situations I always assume everyone else is brain dead and will screw it up.
But to cause a crash only 1 car has to break the road rules. So they are at fault. In this video it's the red car.

How? Was he supposed to be a mind reader and know the red car wanted to break the road rules? Red car never indicated left from what we see. If they did we could assume they're stupid and wanted to break the rules, but if they don't indicate their rule breaking intentions how would anyone else know?
It's pretty easy to pass judgment when watching a video when we know there is about to be a crash. Especially when we watch the video multiple times. Not the same as driving down the road.
