Answer: They can reveal fast cornering, late braking or aggressive acceleration.
Fast cornering can show up as lateral force
A telematics system may detect strong side-to-side movement as well as straight-line acceleration. Taking a roundabout progressively is therefore likely to look calmer than carrying excess speed around it. That is also easier on tyres and gives more time to react to vehicles changing lanes.
The approach often matters more than the roundabout itself
Many harsh events begin because the driver arrives too quickly at the give-way line. Braking earlier gives more time to judge a gap and reduces the need for a heavy stop followed by sudden acceleration.
