C may be right to yield depending on where pink and yellow are going and the speed they're doing.

this just here, we don't have many roundabouts but, the amount of drivers who think it's a race to get from point a to point b is unreasonable. I'm not about to enter the roundabout as car c if the pink or yellow car is flying with no indicators.

C has plenty of space to be out of the way before pink and yellow can catch up to it.

It's a small roundabout and it's prudent to wait a second to see what they're doing. Being impatient isn't a good trait when driving.

If C is moving (and they should be), there's no reason to wait. If C isn't moving, yeah, maybe it's worth waiting, but then my question is why they weren't moving.

Don’t drive in NJ then. /s

Not if they’re moving quickly and not signalling their intent.

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

Signaling is not useful in a circle because it's on the opposite side of the car. By the time you see the signal, it's too late to make a decision based on that anyway.

As you approach, you should adjust your speed to fit into traffic in the circle. Don't look for signals, just look for cars.
