Alan, the rules of the road are well known. If roundabout signage 
indicates you can use a lane to go straight you can use that lane to go 
straight.

That police report does not indicate my wife was guilty of improper lane 
use, but the other driver was.

CarPlay is way more than an alternate GUI. CarPlay is WAY more 
restrictive than the iPhone. Example. On the iPhone Hey Siri/Hey Google 
brings up Google Assistant. On CarPlay the same command returns 
something like "I can't do that while you are driving." Of course you 
would not know. You don't use CarPlay.
