Yet another roundabout question (with picture!)
Posted: Thu Jan 24, 2013 7:40 pm
Hi,
I've attached an accurate picture of a double mini-roundabout that my husband has drawn, based on an aerial photo. All road markings are shown on the picture.
If i am travelling from A to B which lane should i get into at the first roundabout?
I presumed the lefthand lane, but then it feels like i am cutting across a lane in order to get into the righthand lane on the second roundabout.
On my last visit to this roundabout, i was in the lefthand lane and a someone was in the righthand lane. They decided to go straight ahead, which meant that i was forced into the 'lefthand turn only' lane at the second roundabout and had to turn left.
I could well come across this roundabout on my driving test, so would like to know which lane the tester would expect me to get into. Also, if i was in the lefthand lane and someone was in the righthand lane, would the tester penalise me if i pulled away very slowly to see if the vehicle on my right was going to turn right or go straight ahead?
Any comments or advice is welcome,
Abbi
