I think it was inappropriate as I was already in the roundabout when the truck entered, but still a risk I didn't understand until I discovered this little-publicized item.
Yeah I would think any overtaking by a vehicle entering a roundabout after you would still be governed by the basic "do not hit what is in front of you" rule. Thus this is inappropriate overtaking by said trucks. Now if you could just get LEOs to witness and ticket for it. SIGH.
