Tackling roundabouts
Discussion
Hi guys,
I am a total cycle novice (on roads at least) but have been driving for 14 years.
Do you guys take extra measures on roundabouts? Obviously lane positioning is key so that cars don't think your going left and you end up cutting across them, but how to do you prevent holding them up (or should they just wait)?
If you were exiting on the first exit of a small roundabout (where its more of a turning rather than actually going round) would you just follow the road round providing there was space to do so? Or would you still give way?
Also is it normal for white vans to just carry as if your not there even though it's your right of way?

Thanks guys, this has really helped I have a series of roundabouts on the way home and last night went without issue.
Still a little weary of people who are giving way but creep especially if I am doing a standing start, I have found eye contact and a polite nod when passing them helps
Day 2 of the commute and my thighs are feeling it lol.
