This is one of those things where there's a yield sign but the on ramp has it's own lane for a bit.
Who gets the right of way if the car in the roundabout wants the right lane?

It's a merge lane. You merge in behind the car that's in the roundabout with the right of way.
Helmut use to tow his house trailer behind his Sienna with his bike(s) on a trailer behind the house trailer to races. He was duly informed by the police that wasn't allowed and stopped doing it. If there was ONE person I think who could manage doing it without it turning into a gong show it's him, but still, it's not kosher.
The shortest (modern) wind turbine blades are 69'. That's 16' longer than the 53' trailers that routinely get stuck on that corner, so the answer to your question is idiot.
From the video it looks fine to me what the white car did, as there was still space and they did have a merging lane available to them, so no fault there in my eyes.
Grey car, definitely shouldn't have entered the roundabout when they did.
But you definitely could've let the white car merge but decided not to because your '2 metric ton 7 passenger' SUV had right of way.
The only way the zipper works on a lane that's ending is if everyone plays nice in the sandbox.
How the hell do they get that thing through...and there's at least 2-3 more tight corners further ahead...plus the fact that there's multiple short crests and dips that will definitely not play nice with that trailer length. Idiot.
Helicopter it out?
For the commercial vehicles like the dump truck IMO they need to go after the companies that hired them with massive fines. Doesn't matter if they are a sub of a sub, each up the food chain needs to get slammed. This will reduce the stupidity as companies will start to consider the costs of the "cost savings". No arms distance crap.
License revoking is a good idea on the surface (and should be done regardless) but it is common in these cases (and with cars etc.) that they just keep driving, including commercial vehicles. Again, for commercial, put the onus on the companies up the food chain to ensure drivers are licensed or drop the boom on them. It will go a long way towards better self regulation.
If I can check that a contractor is licensed at work and has proper insurance, trucking companies can as well. Combine that with the license revoking and the companies paying the fines for these "mishaps", now you got something. Everyone running with a healthy fear of mistakes....

I'd like to know how they were able to get that load through the town of Belfountain without taking out one of the buildings near the roadway. They had to go through there before they got to the hairpin.
I suspect it goes back the way it came. Hook up a truck to the back to pull it and now you have steering at both ends like the old fire trucks. Since the truck at the back is probably a big tow truck, you have the option to pick and swing the tail too.
I don't think it's a blade. Tower segment? Industrial part unrelated to wind turbines and my guess was wrong?
I'd assume he can swing around on any of the tight 90deg corners and use both lanes to cross. But a tight 180 like that...well we see the fun that entails.
QEW near Glendale. High speed single vehicle crash. Looks like the car was flattened by a steam roller. Engine is a few hundred feet from the chassis. Minor injuries.

It makes no sense and doesn't look like fire cut the car open. Maybe they got ejected and landed in squishy mud?
Nice to see the Mazda rollover structure working well.QEW near Glendale. High speed single vehicle crash. Looks like the car was flattened by a steam roller. Engine is a few hundred feet from the chassis. Minor injuries.
