So, if I get it right, if someone in the roundabout approaches you at a distance smaller than the 2 seconds gap, or what's considered as safety distance and they just break to maintain the safety distance, that's a minor fault. If there's a chance of being hit by the car behind you, that's a serious, and if there's a chance of hitting another car, that's a dangerous fault.
I passed my driving test just before Christmas and these videos were invaluable, thank you Richard! On my test I pulled out on a left turn at a T junction, foolishly using a car turning right as a blocker, but still made an Audi going quite fast to my right slow down a bit and thought for sure I'd failed but my examiner still passed me! It just shows that if you drive safely the examiners will give you the benefit of the doubt so never give up!

So, the best way is just send it out there into the gap.
