Personally, in this situation I'd normally always be in the right lane.  In most cases I'd be able to safely slip in front/behind another vehicle if it's in the left lane and going straight on, and in worst case scenario I just keep going around the roundabout as a safety get out.

This means that if you're in the right hand lane, expecting a car on your left to go straight on, they may decide to suddenly turn right across your path!!

I tend to expect that anyway, the driving standards these days mean it's relatively common.  On my daily commute there's a 3 lane entry and 3 exits.  I go straight on where there is a 2 lane dual carriageway exit. I vary my entry lane between the middle and right lane depending on what cars are there, taking the left exit lane when in the middle and right exit lane when in the right lane.  The number of times I see a vehicle turn right when using the middle or even the left hand entry lane, cutting in front of those trying to go straight on is shocking.  Even more so when it's an Artic truck and everyone has to stop and wait for it.




I usually try to time it so that I don't have a car on my left when on any roundabout, overtaking on the way onto the roundabout, rather than on it.
