Is a bus driver obliged to give way to a truck at an intersection with roundabout traffic?

Explanation

Not obliged. The landscaped central island is on your left and the asphalt with its broken line curves to the right around it, which means you are already travelling on the ring, while the green tanker truck is still outside it behind the right-hand entry. At a roundabout, a vehicle wishing to enter must give way to those already circulating, so the duty falls on the truck driver, not on you. The whole point of a roundabout is that the circulating flow is never interrupted; if every entry could stop the ring, the junction would lock solid at peak times. The trap is the reflex that whoever comes from the right has priority — the right-hand rule belongs to unmarked equal intersections and is replaced here by the ring's priority.
