The correct info is in the POA paper. Don't say making a right turn but say leaving the roundabout. If u leave the roundabout on the very first exit then u should be in the right lane. If u exit after that then u should be in the left lane. If u get into an accident and it is between vehicles in left lane and right lane then according to SCSO the vehicle in the right lane is always at fault.

We lack this room, and have created something that is not exactly safe. It won't happen, but the safest procedure would be for all cars to enter,stay and leave from the outside lane. Before some of you get all riled up, I agree that roundabouts do work well when the roundabout circle is much larger. Here in the Villages, at times when entering a roundabout, it is impossible to move to the inside lane because of cars already being there.

Oh no, no, no. One should never stay in the outside lane to go around to the third exit (270 degrees). It causes accidents and is inconsistent with the roundabout rules. Likewise, one should never change lanes inside the roundabout.

We are supposed to enter the roundabout in the lane from which we will need to exit. That is the outside lane for first or second exit and inside lane for second or third exit.

Also curb your dog and clean up his/her poo. :D

The correct answer to the question is yes, but only if you are going straight through or 270 degrees around. The second and third exit from your entrance position. As stated above treat it exactly like a four lane intersection. If you wanted to make a right turn you would always enter the intersection in the right lane. If you wanted to make a left turn you would always enter in the left lane. If you wanted to go straight through either lane would work.

However even with the new signs that very clearly show the correct way to drive through a round about, I still see idiots go 3/4 the way around staying in the right outside lane. They will cause an accident and wonder why it happened. And also argue that what they did was OK.

As I slowed to turn right someone came from behind me in the outside lane and I almost creamed them, or they me. Because I pay attention I was able to avert an accident. Tell me, was I in the wrong? Do I drive the roundabouts incorrectly. In a regular intersection I would not be able to turn right from the inside lane but that is clearly stated as ok when going 270 degrees. You can look to your right and see no one and they come up from behind you.:024:
