That roundabout is mad. The driver who hit the cyclist had right of way before the car on his left.
He obviously overlooked the cyclist or miscalculated his speed.
Anyway, they both completely ignored the cyclist, because of the awkward shape of the roundabout.
The car which zooms on the far right approach the junction like there's no roundabout. He should be the last - not first - to leave it.
There's very similar roundabout on Grove Green Rd in Leytonstone. Most cars on the main road drive right through the roundabout completely ignoring the drivers with appear from the side road on the right (even they have the right of way).
Far too many drivers choose to completely ignore the Highway Code.
