Here is where it can be confusing. Driving on BV the right lane is the "inside" lane and left lane is the "outside" lane. As soon as you enter a roundabout the right lane is often considered the "outside" lane and left lane the "inside" lane.
My point is, some of us don't know in from out but most of us know right from left.
