I had an accident on this roundabout yesterday, one thing I am unclear on if there are no division lines for lanes should the roundabout be considered as one lane or as two, as you can see in Street View 2 vehicles comfortably fit side by side as it is 7.3m wide??

I have looked around and found no answers to this.

If there are multiple lanes entering the roundabout you have to presume these lanes continue on the roundabout.
As you have stated this is how I have approached it, but cannot find anything definitive in the Highway Code on the matter.

Life would be much simpler if all roundabout had division lines, as the insurer has already said it will be a 50:50 claim as there were no witnesses or video, prove my road position.
