Leaving Roundabouts UK - Left or Right Lane?

If you have two lanes to choose from, should you choose the left or right lane when leaving a roundabout? In a previous video I demonstrated leaving in the left lane and some people commented that it would have been better to leave in the right. In this video I explain why I chose the left lane.

I knew that I had to switch lanes and kept getting better the more times I was accustom with that route. But I always had to leave a different exist cos the stupid sat nav was telling me go ahead... then miles down the road to come back again there and try again.

@richardharvey1732 Год назад

Hi C D,, this video shows that you do in fact change lanes within the roundabout!, between the exit before and the entry after all before you reach the exit that you want, this is consistent with the concept that it is always best to use the left hand lane whenever you can!, otherwise it is important to select the appropriate lane to start with and stay in it, only changing lanes within the roundabout in those zones of 'safety' between exits and entries, thus entering a roundabout with two lanes in the left hand lane , then choosing to take a later exit, do not cross over to the right hand lane as soon as you enter in the left lane, as you so clearly demonstrate the same protocols apply when exiting. Cheers, Richard.

@GHOOGLEMALE Год назад

Tough call that one - looking at 8.38, I'd have left it until 1pm position to move out of right lane. I must say also, I'm not comfortable with when road layout people mess about with road markings that differ from what has been accepted as correct driving (ie making multiple lanes turn left or right at roundabouts) Ok for locals but heavy traffic often has cars etc covering road markings and it can get pretty hairy when other cars are seemingly not moving where you might expect them to.

@simonmuhamed1071 Год назад

The road infrastructure was never designed to carry this amount of traffic, hence mind reading skills are a huge bonus combined with defensive driving! The problem I have noticed with this video's final example is that if you intend to turn right at the roundabout, say 3rd or 4th exit, so you start in the right lane and then gradually move yourself in to the adjacent left lane, the video doesn't show the vehicle indicating to change lanes. If the vehicle did indicate left to move to the left lane, then vehicles waiting to enter the roundabout could interpret this as the car leaving the roundabout at the next available exit, thus pulling on to the roundabout in front of you. If you don't indicate left to change lanes then the other cars on the roundabout could be 'cut up" by you changing lanes in front of them, so you can't win either way. You have to adjust your own driving according to other road users too, often people ignore or don't know the laws so drive incorrectly. There have always been bad drivers on the road, but over the last 20 years I have noticed a huge increase. The standards of the driving test have been lowered and parts removed, increased traffic and people not use to driving on British roads hasn't helped the situation. I'm not knocking this video but simply pointing out a reality, as this guy does make good and useful content.

I passed my test exiting a roundabout in the right lane because it was the following the sat nav part and I was taking the right turn at the next roundabout. I passed because the traffic was too busy to go back to the left and change lanes again to make my turn. I just did it automatically and didn't think about it until the examiner mentioned it in our chat afterwards.

@davesmith5482 7 месяцев назад

Google Street View is a life-saver for me. I look at routes, see where any big, multi-lane roundabouts are and use the photos to see exactly where the lanes and exits are in advance of traveling, so by the time I get there I know which lane to be in on approach and where if at all I need to change lanes before the exit. Nothing gives me more anxiety than approaching a multi-lane roundabout I don't know.

@vikarhu3372 Год назад

One thing about UK roundabouts is the unnecessary blinking to indicate you stay in the roundabout and then flipping the indicators. Here in Finland we use no blinkers when we enter and only indicate when we are going to leave.

@artemkatelnytskyi Год назад

In my city people tend to exit in the lane they started in. Other drivers know this and occasionally they try to merge parallel to the cars already on the roundabout. You can easily see how it can be dangerous. Also you may find interesting that it is perfectly legal to start in the first lane and go around the roundabout, although, obviously, it's not good practice. What I find tricky is how to show that you are changing lane without making it look like you're exiting. Changing lane without signaling wouldn't always be safe and expected. Thanks for the upload!

It's a question of weighing up what's more safe, sometimes not signalling but sometimes it's better to signal. Usually this is the case on big roundabouts so the exit is quite far from where you are changing lanes.

The collision in ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OdHIkElGhGA.html from Rachael, 9 minutes 7 seconds in, is directly relevant to your advice here and would probably be of interest to you. I'd be interested in any comments you have on it! It involves a situation similar to that you show here, with a 2-lane exit straight ahead on a roundabout where both lanes entering the roundabout can go straight. A car slides from the right lane to the left as you recommend in this video, failing to notice that Rachael, the dashcammer, is zooming along the outside lane in an attempt to overtake her (I think she's probably in the front car's blindspot) and is now committed to an attempt to pass her on the left. The two collide. Insurers allegedly took the view that this was 100% the fault of the car that slid to the left lane when exiting. Your comments that "cars don't often pass on the left of a roundabout because they're expecting cars to change lanes as they leave because it's normal" are amusing in the context of that crash; the thing you say doesn't often happen is precisely what happened there and the driver who attempted the pass is in the comments protesting that she couldn't possibly have foreseen the lane change! I think I take the view that doing what you suggest here is risky in case I have similarly missed (or misread the intentions of) a Rachael who's planning to speed up in the left lane to try to undertake me as I leave! I'm inclined to only take the approach you suggest when leaving onto an exit to the right that I *have* to enter in the right lane to take, where there's less possibility of someone in the left attempting to pass me.

@zoezebra4013 Год назад

Hi Richard, great video, as always, and explains lots of things. But here’s my concern/question that I don't think has been fully covered yet and I appreciate if you could maybe even do a separate video on it as I think it’s one of the most difficult situations on a roundabout that I am still uncertain about. Assuming we are entering roundabout from dual carriage way with 2 lanes and turning right. We take the right lane and enter the internal lane on roundabout. So similarly as you pictured. And there’s another car entering the roundabout from the left with intention to go straight - taking the same exit as we. He can take the outer lane on the roundabout. So far so good. However, the road on the exit is just one lane road. So number of questions in my head - surely he is ok to enter roundabout as he is taking a different lane. If he is slightly ahead of us, we can slow down to let him exit first, that’s fine. The biggest problem is if he is just behind us or in the blind spot. Who has priority to leave? Should he slow down and let us through? Or we should speed up, or skip the exit? And I’m kindof interested more from perspective of a driver who does want to leave roundabout on that particular exit, not necessarily skip it and go with the next one like you potentially could on the exam. Unless answer is simple (is it?) video would be great

@ConquerDriving Год назад

When you are on the right lane of a roundabout, cars should not enter the roundabout next to you, they should enter behind you. If they try to pass on the left (which is dangerous) do what you can to avoid a collision, go round the roundabout again if needed.

@@ConquerDriving came back to say thank you very much for your response, it gave me a lot of thinking and to be honest I'm still digesting various scenarios having particular roundabout in my mind, especially as I was hooted at when exiting and another car on my left was trying to overtake me.

I much prefer to change lanes on the straight, and not on a roundabout. The mirrors on the car are set up to be optimal as if you are travelling straight. What's more, if it's safe to change to the left lane on a roundabout for that manoeuvre, it's going to be safe to move over to the left after the exit. If a car had been fas approaching on the lane to the left it would not have been safe to move across anyway. So, for me, I do not change lanes on roundabouts unnecessarily. I feel it's safer that way as there is less going on and visibility is better. I prefer to pick my lane and keep to it unless it is necessary to move across.

@davidgriffiths3079 Год назад

It would be helpful if you could refer to the lane on the right as the 'Right hand lane ' rather than the 'right lane ' which can be confused with the 'Correct lane' , cheers.

@ibs5080 Год назад

One thing I'd like to add to this. If you are relying on Sat nav for directions on an unfamiliar route, take it's audio instructions as well as thumbnail diagram of the lane configurations with a pinch of salt. They can either be misleading, incorrect or ambiguous. Better to rely on signs and road markings. Also, any time I am going to do an unfamiliar journey in will research in advance via Google Earth by zooming in on places such as roundabouts as well as using Street View to gain a better understanding of the lane configurations. Though with an open mind that it might be differ when I actually get there.

@ConquerDriving Год назад

Totally agree, this is why I usually mute the sat nav sound and go by the map and signs.

@ibs5080 Год назад

@@ConquerDriving Hello Richard. Hope all is well in Colchester. Greetings from Canterbury. Ah yes, I remember now during a previous dialog that you turn off your Sat nav sound. I keep my sound on but have learned to ignore it in certain situations. Of course, actual road signs and markings will always take precidence and if necessary, go in the wrong direction if it's correct from a driving point of view, as that's the safest thing to do. One can always correct later.

Everyone in Bradford knows that it doesn't matter what lane you start in or finish in, just drive where you want to go and expect everyone else to move out the way

7:55 happens to me :( on the bigger roundabouts I’m sometimes not where which lane to use lol 😢

@bajisyed9225 Год назад

I have failed the test as I have not taken the right lane to exit the roundabout. There was a huge pile of traffic in the left lane due to road works on the 4th exit, so I stopped to get into the left lane. My instructor always told me to move into the left lane to exit, so I didn’t think of continuing in the right lane to exit 😢

I'm sorry to hear that. Keep practising and stay positive, I wish you the best of luck with your next test.

I failed my test last week for moving over to the left lane too late when exiting a roundabout (3rd exit manoeuvre) onto a single carriageway road but that is only because a (bloody annoying) car joined the roundabout next to me and was in the way when I originally wanted to move so I had to wait until the last minute :( I suppose I should have gone around the roundabout again... oh well, next test booked for mid Nov, I'm learning with each failure :D

I'm sorry to hear that. Good luck with your test in November though!

@@ConquerDriving thank you! I have learnt so much through your videos, you have such a great knack for teaching. Hope you are doing well.

Can you make a video on how to change lane safely on a roundabout? Sometimes I see people leaving the roundabout the exit before in the mirrors and think they're coming in the lane I want to go left into after the penultimate exit

@kubek555 9 месяцев назад

So basically once you are in the left lane you have to exit the roundabout at the nearest exit, correct? Gosh I still remember the time when I flew to the UK to help move my sister's brand new TT Roadster about 400 miles from the dealer back home (since she was too scared to do it) with zero experience driving in the UK. Still remember my fight with the car itself (shifting gears with left hand,) + my fight with roundabouts hahaha

3:39 I was in this situation last week, except I was the black car on your inside leaving at the 2nd exit on the inside lane. There was a driving instructor already on the roundabout, also leaving at the same exit via the right lane. Except he indicates to move into my inside lane before the exit? I stay in my lane alongside him and he beeps at me as we both exit. I beep back and then he swerves in front and brake checks me. According to your example, I was driving correctly, and it seems unusual for driving instructors to brake check other cars... I assumed you guys would have some standards to follow? 🤷‍♂

Where I live in Oz it’s illegal to change lanes approaching or through any type of intersection and on my many travels in the UK I followed the same guideline. No way I’m chopping a lane while exiting a roundabout. I leave the left exit lane open on the chance that anyone will be hooning underneath me.

Problem here is the road markings. Both can go ahead but the exit at 10 o'clock, isn't that classed as ahead too???

@FBIAGENT95103 8 месяцев назад

Should you signal when you change lanes on a roundabout? It doesn't look safe to change lanes on a roundabout without signalling.

Bean driving for 30 years anything Between 10am and 3pm is a left line in roundabouts you can't go wrong

@jackytong1727 7 месяцев назад

Got one question here - Say if you do take the left lane on approach for the first example, then taking the third exit past 12 (I see roadsign saying that you can use both lane on approach), do you still need to signal right on approach? Or just no indication? (Feel weird to signal right using left lane, but the exit is past 12) I have got a similiar sitaution in my area, would really appreciate your help!

I am at the point where I feel I will never get my license. Had more than 30 hours of driving lessons and am still struggling with roundabouts and reversing.
