Check interior and nearside mirrors, then signal left and position in the left-hand lane, then adjust speed and assess traffic from the right, and finally enter in the left-hand lane while maintaining the left signal until cleared.

You must first check interior and nearside mirrors, then signal left and position in the left-hand lane on approach. Next, adjust your speed, select the proper gear, and yield to traffic from the right. Finally, enter the circulatory carriageway in the left lane, maintaining the left signal until the exit has been completely negotiated.
