Never seen so much wrong info from posters on this site regarding such a simple subject as navigating a junction.

Here is the simple CORRECT way to navigate a circular junction

1 Get in correct lane prior to getting to junction.
R/H lane is turn right, or straight on.
L/H lane is straight on, or turn left.

2. Prepare to give way or stop to any traffic in the junction to your left.

3. When clear to your left, enter junction, and navigate to your required exit. SIGNAL when EXITING junction.

You do not change lanes, or give way when in the circle junction. That is the whole idea of them. A continous flow.
If you have to change lane or give way, you or the other driver are in the wrong lane. See point 1.

Having said all that, my final point is be on your guard at all times, as 75% othe TV drivers haven't a clue!
