Aibu or is this mini roundabout etiquette

[Eljkr]

This is random. Guessing a lot of you drive or are aware of how roundabouts work. I need to know if IWU

The round about is technically a mini one but is large so in theory if people are travelling straight on from extrance to exit is 3 cars lengths. On each exit of the mini roundabout is a zebra crossing. Meaning when you enter the mini round about 3 cars lengths away from the crossing on the opposite exit

Car A is driving up a road and comes to a stop behind car C who is at the mini round about. Nothing is coming from the right so Car C enters the round about. car A looks to the right and nothing is coming so goes to move over the round about. Car C has had to stop at someone is approaching the zebra crossing at their exit. car A obviously has to stop behind them.

Car A is now half off half on the roundabout a blocking the entrance to the roundabout on the left. Car B is waiting to enter from
te left so is now blocked so cannot enter the roundabout.
Car B beeps a prolonged beep on their horn and starts throwing the V sign and screaming out the window ‘you shouldn’t stop on a roundabout, your blocking my way’

Everyone walking down the busy high street is now staring.

Car A winds down window and stars yelling back ‘how they couldn’t predict someone would cross at the exit and that technically it’s their right of way’

Who was in the wrong

Who was in the wrong?

Car B is in the wrong. Wanker.

You shouldn’t enter a roundabout if your exit is blocked, but you can stop if there’s no alternative, of course. You still have right of way over people to your left.

On a normal roundabout where you'd only end up backed up due to traffic then you should be looking ahead and never drive in unless you can leave gaps at the other entrances/exits.

But with pedestrian crossing, you can't always see the people until they are ready to cross due to other vehicles or foliage, so you'd have driven in and then just have to stop when the car infront does. Nothing anyone can do. Car B was a dick.

Hmm. You shouldn't enter the roundabout unless the exit is clear. So car A is in the wrong. However car B should not beep/shout etc.

A should not have entered the roundabout until C had cleared the crossing.
