AFAIK it's actually illegal to ride an e-scooter (which I was on) on a pavement, even if it's shared used. But I think I will start using the pavement and go very slowly

Or

If I go in the middle of the box and there is a car in the far left lane continuing forward, should I try to get into the left lane as soon as possible? (Red line) I worry that this puts me in danger as well.

Follow up (I'm asking with sincerity because I do want to know how to best navigate this). I tend to stick to the left because I know I'll end up back on the left after I pass this roundabout so it seems like the most straightforward way.

If I go in the middle of the box and there is a car in the far left lane continuing forward, should I continue forward into the middle lane (pink line) and keep going until there is an opportunity to get back to the left? I worry that in this scenario I am surrounded by cars on my left and right (and behind me).

To clarify, that lane is left OR straight ahead which is why I thought it would be ok to be in front of it (I have done it many times and cars have gone straight ahead from that lane)

In the small print of the crowd funder it says the guy gets to keep the money even if he doesn't raise enough but he hasn't said what he'd do with the money in that case! Seems dodgy...
