A few points to make here...
Firstly, in the town I did my driving test in there are a few sets of double roundabouts, but one of them is particulary bad. Very few people actually negotiate them correctly, but for purposes of driving test it was important to do them right. I actually found by doing them correctly I was putting myself in more danger. I really didn't appreciate having to do that, as being a young male driver my insurance is through the roof (currently about 2600 for a Ford Ka) and I didn't particulary want to be hit by some uninsured idiot, which would just cripple me... Also the next set requires one to exit in lane 2, which I never liked doing, especially when people were on your right hand side and decided they would like to exit straight from that lane... Very scary...
One of the other things is that for your driving test you're supposed to drive with deliberation and not hesitate... I found that hard, especially at roundabouts, because how can you not hesitate or at least think, 'one day one of these people are going to be indicating left and they're going to drive right into me.'
Another thing is that people can be quite inconsiderate at roundabouts, especially turning right from the left hand lane... That happened me about 2 weeks after my test, which wasn't great, but a minibus almost cut me up... Although this could probably be put down to inexperience, and looking back I should have probably just slowed right down and let him get on, but I didn't think that at the time, and I suppose it all does add to experience...
And finally on this roundabout topic... We have a few multi-lane roundabouts over here in Northern Ireland (I know, we're coming out of the dark ages) and I was just noticing the other day coming up to one of them that the signs on the approach to it were absolutely rubbish, how can the road service expect to not get accidents, especially during rush hour. It's okay for people who drive this road every day, they know exactly where to be, but for someone who doesn't really drive this particular route very often, it's confusing, and it is surprising it doesn't cause more accidents than it does... Maybe I should just put this down to inexperience also, but it again shows the importance of learning to drive, not just to pass a test.
One other thing to add (I know I said finally a while back) is when will the road service learn that it is not a good idea to place pedestrian crossings right after a roundabout...
