Let's try this.........

As you enter the RAB at 6:00, you travel past the 1st exit (3:00) then pass the 2nd exit (12:00) and proceed to the 3rd exit (9:00). If you look at a clock face, can you see that if you start at 6:00, and exit at 9:00, you have made a left turn (NOT a right turn) .

OK, one more way.........

You enter the RAB at south, travel past the 1st exit which is east, proceed past the 2nd exit which is north and exit at the 3rd exit which is west. If you look at a map, you can see that you have made a left turn.

Hope that helps.

Rule #1 of roundabout driving.

If you follow that rule, everything else pretty much falls into place...safely.

I just assumed all golf carts had lights to indicate the directionals are in use. No? Well, now that I think of it......the loaner golf carts The Villagers Golf Cars has loaned me, do not have those lights.
