Roundabout slingshots

As a queue jumping tactic it's elite level. What do you think?

Is this using the right hand lane, going all the way round and continuing straight on?

If so, it’s elite level.

If you keep moving and blend onto the roundabout without stopping or slowing down, then it's elite level, yes
