A. The driver of the first blue car has to make several decisions when approaching the roundabout. Firstly, they need to determine the appropriate time to enter the roundabout. They should look for a gap in the traffic on the roundabout and ensure they have enough time to safely merge without disrupting the flow of vehicles. This decision also depends on whether the driver intends to take the first or second exit on the roundabout.

Furthermore, the driver needs to decide which lane to enter. If they plan to take the first exit, they should position their car in the rightmost lane. If they intend to take any other exit, they should enter the left lane of the roundabout. They need to be cautious and use their indicators to clearly signal their intentions to other drivers.

Lastly, the driver must focus on observing and yielding to any pedestrians or cyclists who may be crossing the roundabout. Safety should always be a priority, and the driver should be prepared to stop if necessary.

B. The actions from the second blue car are different from the first because it appears to be overtaking the first blue car from the right. This is not a recommended or legal maneuver at a roundabout. When approaching a roundabout, it is important to yield and give priority to the vehicles already on the roundabout. Overtaking is not permitted within the roundabout itself, as it disrupts the flow of traffic and can lead to accidents.

The second blue car should have waited for the first blue car to safely navigate the roundabout and then entered the roundabout after ensuring there was enough space available. Overtaking should only be done when it is legal and safe to do so, which is not the case at a roundabout.
