Images on the signs posted clearly indicate that both left and right lanes continue through the roundabout to Morse, with the option of someone in the right lane to exit to another village. In such a case it seems like a no-brainer that if you're in the left lane and want to exit, you must wait for a clear opportunity to get into the right lane and exit from the right-hand lane (unless that right-lane is ending and depicted as veering off to the exit ) or make another go-around. NOT ok to to cut in front of the driver next to you in the right-hand lane to fly over to that exit. However, a driver did that to our car - sped up in the left lane and with no clearance, tried to cut in front of us to jet over to the exit at the last minute (we had no idea someone was trying to pass from the left), and then proclaimed that WE did not understand the concept of driving in roundabouts.
Wow---it just continues. READ post #106 just above this one
