    whoever is on the roundabout first, though it looks like you both entered at the same time

      100%. Roundabouts were built to flow, and this is a great example of everything flowing nicely. No issues, just harmony between 2 drivers. 💯🙏🏽

      At the same time? Are you sure about that buddy? Bc it looks like there’s a yield sign and the truck was there first. Open your eyes bro this is criteria for drivers license.

      @@godxpain6667 there's a give way sign on every entrance to a roundabout, and you only need to give way to cars on the round about. You can not see who crossed first but your arguing millimetres. If you want to get technical the ute should give way because you give way to the right since a round about is one way, and he was already stopped, if he was any slower on his take off, he would crash and be at fault

    In the uk, you give way to who Is already on the roundabout. Otherwise it's give way to the right, But just be nice and Courteous, It doesn't cost anything, and everybody feels good.

      Interesting, they state this on the highway code website: "give priority to traffic approaching from your right." You can view the website here: www.highwaycodeuk.co.uk/roundabouts.html
      The language in the highway code is 'giving priority to traffic approaching from the right' which means road users outside of the roundabout, not just inside the roundabout.
      I agree with you about being nice and courteous - this is exactly what happened in this video. The dash cam driver slowed down enough, which gave a safe opportunity for the other driver. Both drivers went through the roundabout harmoniously. :)

    You had the right of way, but the way the truck was pulling forward I also would have slowed down and let them in like that. It looked like they were ready to cause an accident.

      Thanks for your comment. The rule in Victoria, Australia is to 'give way to any vehicle in the roundabout', there is no 'right of way' terminology in the Road Safety Road Rules 2017.
      In this video both drivers pretty much entered at the same time and it all worked nicely. The dash cam driver slowed down (as they should) to give the ute/truck driver an opportunity to enter. Roundabouts were built to flow and this is a great example of that flow.

    On a roundabout it's usually whoever gets there first however, if you get there at the same time or no one is going it it the general rule of give way to you right. You had right of way😊

      Thanks for the comment. The rule in Victoria, Australia is 'give way to any vehicle in the roundabout.' This video was a great example of flow and that both drivers could enter safely at the same time. No harm done. :)

    Yes, whoever's around first, goes first around. Unless, someone's going around first. Then, hang around, first.

    pickup truck should have wait until its safe to enter the roundabout here in my lands. but since there was huge gap,it shouldnt endanger surroundings.

      The rule in Victoria, Australia is to give way to any vehicle in the roundabout. Both the pickup truck and dash cam car entered at the same time so it didn't really matter much. It all worked nicely. :)
      I shared this video to promote this kind of road use, where everyone works together and also so people realise the rule in Victoria is not, give way to the right...

    First on has right of way, most still think give way to the right ffs

    • @CRUDEDriving

      Many think 'give way to the right', which would be applicable if the vehicle was 'in' the roundabout and to the right. The issue with 'give way to the right' is that people stop for vehicles outside of the roundabout.
      I teach my students about what give way actually means, which is 'slow down and, if necessary, stop to avoid a collision'. I then explain about outside vs inside the roundabout and from this they can make an assessment and commit if safe.
      I wish more people understood how roundabouts flow and slowed down on approach to them. People can approach so fast and this can scare others from entering, especially learner drivers. Thanks for your comment.
