There is no priority from the right until there is a vehicle actually on
the roundabout. Priority from the right refers only to giving way to a
vehicle that is already coming around the roundabout - it has nothing to
do with allowing vehicles waiting to enter to go first.

Not being difficult but wanting to understand better, do you have
authority for that - either RTA or Highway Code?

Not causing a collision would come under section 3.

That report tries to make a virtue of what I consider a problem with mini
roundabouts: the approach roads are often angled by built-out kerbs so that
traffic that is going straight ahead on a junction with a side road has to
deviate from the straight ahead position. Ideally all the roads should be
flared slightly to the left (not the right, as often happens) to give
right-turning traffic as much width as possible to get the back wheels round
without having to steer excessively to the *left* as you enter and want to
turn *right*.

Ideally the roundabout should be there for one reason only: to establish
priority (who stops for whom), and should not force traffic to take a line
that is different to the one it would take if the junction was a simple T
junction. This would not go down well with the authors of the report because
they condemn people driving over the painted disc, which is the line that it
would take if there was no roundabout.
