How is it even legal? You need a special school just for this one 99lvl king of the roundabouts

  You only need to know one fact to navigate it: the middle is not a roundabout, ignore the fact that it is round. Every driver in the UK is used to sequences of two or three roundabouts, they are part of the driving test. As long as you are not bamboozled by the pseudo roundabout in the middle, you just navigate it based on principles you already know.

    As a right hand driver since 40 years I can't wrap my head around the combo roundabouts. I get terrified just looking at youtube drivers trying to explain how they work in England.

      From experience, there's a lot of people in the UK that don't truly know what to do at a double mini roundabout. As other comments have noted, when drivers are less clear on the rules they tend to drive more slowly and cautiously - I think that makes double roundabouts "work out" most of the time.

      You do need to practice them. When I was learning my instructor devoted significant time to them. If you come from a country that doesn't have them, it's not irrational to worry that you aren't going to pick up how to manage them instantly. You need to make several decisions in succession, at the same time as doing several lane merges. But they're not rocket science. If you make a simple mistake, you just end up going the wrong way and have to turn round somewhere. Holders of foreign driving licences should probably be required to do a course, including these at least, before being allowed to use their licence here.
