I used to do a lot of work from Le Havre, and spend a lot of time there. In the '90’s most of the junctions were controlled by signs etc, but (early 2000;s?) they reintroduced the priorite a droite back in the town centre. The idea was that all traffic would travel more cautiously and be slower, but smoother flowing and safer.
I don’t know of any figures that say whether or not it achieved those objectives. But then again I haven’t looked!
Counterintuitively, slow moving traffic is often freer flowing and quicker overall.
On the roundabout issue, Many French roundabouts are smaller than UK ones. The UK main road roundabouts have clearly marked lanes on entry and the lanes are large enough for artics.
The whole road architecture is different and the different ways of using them do work well in the different countries.
The main issue in both countries is when roundabouts are seen as overtaking opportunities.
They are junctions,
No one should be passing anyone!

Doesn’t look like a quick one to me, 
but anyway, if you mean two vehicles facing each other,both turning right, they can each turn simultaneously passing on each others’ left; then yes its a national protocol. The disadvantage being, light vehicle drivers are wont to believe that if they cannot see something, it does not exist, ergo turning into the path of obscured, oncoming traffic.
Give way to the right is a relic from the distant past. It worked well enough a century ago when statistically the chances of two of the state’s ten cars weren’t likely to meet at an intersection. By the 70’ it remaines on the statute books, but by and large common sense had taken over. It was finally removed in the late 70s, thank goodness. My middle-aged lady neighbours admitted that she never even looked left or slowed down, if she had right of way.
Many, many people believe the give way to the right rule exists on roundabouts; it doesn’t, the rule is, give way to traffic on the roundabout. That causes too many prangs, as morons maintain speeds of 60 kph, or greater, approaching small, suburban roundabouts.
Didn’t take me long to ask it. 
Yes I thought the diamond turns were sensible, apart from the blindspots sometimes created, but I thought it was only in QLD not national, is that a change then?
Glad to see the back of the give way to the right rule, as I said ridiculous when driving on the left. So I am driving south with oncoming traffic but have to give way to a bloke coming from the west, who can’t accept (but might 
) because he is giving way to my oncoming, so I decide to proceed only to find my mate over there taking his chance. Bang, and it is my fault.
But I am from the distant past.

It may have been. As a new, 17yo driver, my first foray into NSW in a Moggie Minor was a shock, when I ran over a dumb policeman (no disparaging comments, please) at high speed (in context to a Moggie 1000). A dumb policeman was a 6" high, concrete hemisphere in the centre of an intersection, of which traffic was supposed to keep left. My encounter was on a night as black as the inside of a billy goat, at an invisible intersection on a slight right hand curve, far from the closest structure.
Ok the bad news is it’s not normal Boushhy. Two accidents in two months, especially RTA-type accidents after two weeks of being solo is crazy. You might just have bad luck though, or have to contend with London traffic (which is a nightmare).
The good news is since you are a new driver you might have a bit of a shine to you that could see it slide away from being a problem.
Most companies I believe will usually haul you into the office-interrogation room for a formal interview and depending on the outcome and who is at fault will be warnings / final warning / sacked.
Now as far as roundabouts go, what I always do as I’m exiting a roundabout, ESPECIALLY if i am in the right-hand lane, is check your left-hand mirrors and be ready to avoid any drivers that try to cut-in on your left side or are close. If your wagon has blind-side cameras this is especially helpful and that’s often the first thing I try and check when I’m moving over to the left.
Those roundabouts piss me off no-end, utterly counter-intuitive. There’s the one near Nottingham on that huge-big roundabout near the M1 that often catches me out.
