No doubt without recorded evidence, some people would still believe
that they saw some of them going past red lights.

It is interesting to find out what other people see of events. I now
have a dashcam. My wife has accused me of doing things I would not do.
There was an occasion where she claimed that I overtook another
vehicle round the outside of a roundabout. I could show her later that
the rear of the other vehicle was on camera the whole way round and I
was simply matching its angular velocity.

What's wrong with overtaking on a roundabout?

Lots.

Unless there is only room for one lane, I mean.

....unless it is possible to be certain that the other driver will not
move left at an inconvenient moment.

It is not impossible though. Back in the days I had an Alfasud, there
was less traffic, other cars were slower (with more "body language") and
lane discipline was appalling (oh yes). I just applied the negative of
their lane discipline. Great fun.

A roundabout is simply a specialised one-way single carriageway which
has no junctions on the offside.

Even if and when there was a specific
law against overtaking on the nearside, it did not apply on a one-way
street.

Your problem is that your automatic reaction to everything is "what does
the law say?".
