roundabout question Is there any hard a fast rules on this?
Two lanes entering roundabout only one exit lane on all exits.
left lane going left?
right lane going right?
Straight on in which lane....
Followed three cars this morning all moved across into lane 2 on approach dual carriageway off a previous roundabout. then on final approach to roundabout in question moved into lane 1 then all proceeded to go straight over the roundabout.
I was following them in lane two as they moved over i continued in the lane onto the roundabout only to be squeezed out and forced to brake on the roundabout to prevent any problems.
hindsight tells me i should have waited until i was 100% sure all was safe to proceed at the speed i wanted but with the lane position as described, i felt sure at the time all was ok. This is a roundabout that is set to the right of the road, giving the visual impression at least to me that the right hand lane is right and straight.
Is there a hard and fast rule, or just pay attention and expect people to do what you dont expect them to do?
