You are driving on a dual carriageway approaching a multi-lane roundabout and intend to take the third exit (turning right). In what sequence should you carry out the necessary lane positioning and signalling actions?
- 1Check mirrors, signal right, and position your vehicle in the right-hand approach lane.
- 2Give priority to traffic from your right and enter the roundabout into the inner (right-hand) circulating lane.
- 3Maintain your position in the inner lane and continue signalling right while circulating the roundabout.
- 4Check mirrors and switch your indicator to signal left immediately after passing the exit before your intended one.
- 5Safely guide your vehicle into the appropriate lane to leave the roundabout at your exit.
Answer
The correct sequence starts with checking mirrors, signalling right, and positioning in the right-hand lane on approach, followed by entering into the inner circulating lane after giving priority to traffic on the right, keeping to the inner lane while maintaining the right signal, switching to a left indicator after passing the exit prior to the intended exit, and finally exiting smoothly in the appropriate lane.
According to Highway Code Rule 186, when taking an exit to the right at a multi-lane roundabout, a driver must approach in the right-hand lane while signalling right, enter the inner lane when safe, maintain this lane and signal while circulating, indicate left immediately after passing the exit before the one intended, and then safely exit into the appropriate lane.
