Today we had some under 55-year-old jackwagon in a white mercedes convertible pass us on the right in the roundabout, swerve in front of us into our inside lane, then move back to the right to exit. He saw an opening in the visitors lane, swerved again (already had pulled into the residents exit) into the visitors exit just to get ahead of one darn car.
Yes. Check the pamphlet. More accurately, you must exit the roundabout into the lane going to the visitors gate. Once out of the roundabout, then you can change lanes. The trouble is that drivers change from the inner to the outer while still in the roundabout, and then take the exit.
