Question

Difficulty: EasyRoundabouts

You are driving towards a junction controlled by a double mini-roundabout system. How should you negotiate this layout?

  1. A
    Treat the entire layout as a single roundabout and only follow priority rules at the first entrance
  2. Treat each mini-roundabout separately and give way to traffic approaching from your right at each oneAnswer
  3. C
    Proceed immediately across both roundabouts if a driver on the intermediate approach flashes their headlights
  4. D
    Accelerate continuously through the second roundabout without checking mirrors or blind spots

Answer

Treat each mini-roundabout separately and give way to traffic approaching from your right at each one
According to The Official Highway Code (Rule 188), at double mini-roundabouts you must treat each roundabout separately and give way to traffic approaching from your right at each one.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the junction type as a double mini-roundabout upon approach
Recognise that the layout consists of two distinct, connected mini-roundabouts rather than a single large island
Allows the driver to prepare for multiple give-way lines in close succession
2
Apply Highway Code Rule 188 at the first mini-roundabout
Give way to traffic approaching from the right and enter when safe
Standard UK roundabout priority applies at every individual roundabout entrance
3
Assess the second mini-roundabout independently upon reaching its give-way line
Check for and give way to traffic from the right before proceeding through
Priority does not carry over from the first roundabout to the second
