It is now considered that multi-lane roundabouts (which permit lane changing in the roundabout) are a bad idea because they have too many collision points. Turbo-roundabout is a much better alternative: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roundabout#Turbo_roundabouts

Multilane roundabouts in my part of the US are absolutely terrifying because people don't know how to use them. Accidents and close calls are amazingly common. As a result, I drive out of my way to ensure that I avoid them.
Simple roundabouts are fine.

When entering the roundabout, there are two lanes with two different rules.
The right lane is only permitted to turn right or continue straight. So the pink car is not supposed to continue counter-clockwise.
The left lane is only permitted to go straight or turn left. Thus it won't run into the cars on the right lane.
A collision could occur if people don't follow the rules, much like everything else when it comes to driving a car.

The pink car is in the wrong lane if it wants to stay on the roundabout for a later exit. The pink car can take either the first or second exits here. The orange can take the second, third, etc.
