I see so many cases where because the driver entering the roundabout
sees there is no traffic on his right he assumes he has right of way.

In Australia the rule is clear, you should give way to traffic already
in the roundabout, I would imagine that your rules are similar,


but /significantly/ different in that you have the restriction to
"already on" that we don't.

And which seems to me a recipe for fun at mini-roundabouts as whoever
gets there first has priority.
