Question

Difficulty: EasyRoundabouts

When driving a standard passenger car at a mini-roundabout, you are permitted to drive straight over the central painted markings if the junction is clear of other traffic.

Answer: Answer

Answer

The statement is False.
According to Highway Code Rule 188, all vehicles must pass around the central markings of a mini-roundabout. Only large vehicles that are physically unable to maneuver around the circle are permitted to drive over it.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the vehicle type and junction layout
The scenario involves a standard passenger car navigating a mini-roundabout.
Mini-roundabouts have specific mandatory requirements regarding how vehicles interact with the central markings.
2
Apply the relevant UK Highway Code regulation
Highway Code Rule 188 states that all vehicles must pass round the central markings, exempting only large vehicles that are physically incapable of doing so.
Standard passenger cars can easily maneuver around the central island without driving over it, making driving across the markings unlawful.
