Another (mini)rounadabout question

[Solocle]

Exactly what it says on the tin. A question of how to approach this mini roundabout. In this case, you want to take the right turn lane to the left. Typical unmarked entry lanes.

Ignore the turning directly opposite, to all intents and purposes, it doesn't exist. Some genius seems to have decided to build a housing estate (I day housing estate, more a shared driveway) directly onto a roundabout. Watch it, but it virtually never is an exit/entrance.

I would say, left lane on approach, but positioned to the right of this lane, wheels on the line maybe. No indication at this point.

This should prevent anyone taking the right lane in order to get to the right turn lane you are aiming for. You do now need to watch the NS mirror for bikes.

When you are clear to enter roundabout, another quick check of each mirror, move off, give a couple of flashes of left indicator as your nose reaches the painted circle and move clearly towards the right turn lane you want to take.

Biggest danger I see is someone taking right lane and cutting across you to reach the right turning lane. So if another car is beside you when you want to go, be 100% sure before committing that they are going right.

Personally I took the right hand lane with a left signal, which I felt was pretty unambiguous. I was then watching for those to the left who wanted to pull across.
