Just a quick question. Is it required by law to exit in the same lane that you entered on, on a roundabout?

Four example, if the entrance to the roundabout has two lanes, The left lane which goes left and straight, and the right lane that goes right.. If you are intending to go right and obviously you are in the right lane, do you then have to exit in the right lane or can you exit it in either of the two lanes on the exit of the roundabout?

Changing lanes on a roundabout I think is dangerous and inconsiderate for those waiting to enter the roundabout intending to take the first exit.

They see you in L2 and assume you will stay in L2. This happens daily at a roundabout near me, I dare not enter the roundabout because I know from experience all the buggers coming around in L2 will chop to L1 just before they pass my entrance.

Legally, no idea, crept it shows staying in the lane in the H.C.

I was taught to stay in the same lane, so thats what I do.

Your scenario describes the topic im currently debating on facebook. Someone is arguing its okay to change lanes. Someone crashed into him because he chahged lanes and somehow it's not his fault..
