Re: Driving in the roundabouts
It is absolutely correct not to use the inner lane for the 1st exit and also that the outer lane can use exits 1 or 2 (straight on) however my point remains that as long as everyone abides by the yield to traffic already circulating rule then trafffic circulating in the inside lane will not find themsleves with a vehicle parallel to them in the outer lane and blocking their exit.
This really means that a vehicle in the inner lane that was circulating the roundabout before you entered has right of way over you after all surely it makes sense that drivers in the inner lane do intend to exit the roundabout and not keep on going around so why enter parrallel to them, just let them pass your exit watch for their turn signals and you will know when they are going to exit, if you entered before them then they will just exit behind you.
As for TV roundabouts being too small or just for trucks, they were deemed large enough by the engineers who designed them to support 2 lanes and the generally used roundabout design for extra truck space is to use a concrete apron around the circle and not a vehicle lane.
As for going all the way around in the right hand lane i would still love to see any official document from anywhere across the world that offers this as the correct way to use a 2 lane cirlce.
Must agree though everyone in TV does know how to use the roundabouts, just cannot agree on the method, spot on!
