Interesting at about 3:15 and the justification for no left shoulder check.
We've (Group) got a couple of examiners at the moment who are both biker and car Plod and they are critical if an Associate (car) trys to leave a roundabout without a nearside shoulder/blind spot check so I've taken to beating a blind spot check into them.

Look at the direction of travel of the bike - it's already pointed towards the exit while the rider is looking to his left.
For any lifesaver, it has to be early enough to identify the problem, then initiate avoiding action.
Most riders in this situation would be travelling too fast to continue around the island.
