I don’t think you need to worry about penta-circle roundabouts. The “Magic Roundabout” as it is colloquially known is in a suburb of Swindon; nobody voluntarily goes to Swindon. But regardless of which side of the road you prefer the best advice for this roundabout is to be assertive. Pick a route, plenty of permutations are allowed, and go for it. Like the Arc de Triomphe in Paris do your own thing slightly faster than the traffic around you, drivers behind you can make their own arrangements.
For reference, at the moment I drive on the right side of the road. British people might make the same claim.
I lived in Ireland for 3 years so got used to driving on the left. (i'm pretty ambidextrous which helps.) Our neighbor's best tip. "Keep the bitch to the ditch" ... in other words, your passenger goes to the side of the road, you go in the center. Also, the roads there are very narrow, so rent a small car. Be sure it's got automatic! But they are not aggressive, actually very polite drivers so that makes it slightly easier. Roundabouts? If you're not in the correct lane, just go around again rather than block traffic. Enjoy it, I love the UK.
your reflex in an emergency situation is where things can go wrong, like that car that pulls out into the roadway unexpectedly - and you swerve to the right to avoid it - can get you killed.
overall, crossing the street on foot may be more dangerous.
How I wish the US had more roundabouts than it does. There’s no more frustrating waste of time than waiting all alone at the intersection for 4 minutes at a timed red light, with no one in sight coming from the right, left, or from up the road. We can stare balefully at the red light camera with an acid look meant to melt the polyvinyl camera housing, knowing someone on the other end is daring you to defy it. Then you wait again 3 miles later for…no one. I’m pretty sure we can blame the Illuminati for that one too, though I don’t yet know exactly how. Diabolical.

I’ve been to Grand Cayman Island many times.
Me, in a roundabout with windshield wipers on…every time.
Make it part of your vacation experience to take one driving lesson there, where they take you on a roundabout!

Buy the video game Eurotruck simulator and off you go.
Yeah it’s a lorry that you’re driving but you can set the camera view in the cab and you’ll be on the correct side if the road and in the right seat.
your little inner voice, ‘stay left’ is easy.
