Roundabouts Ahhhh!!

Why do people use the left lane when turning right at roundabout?? I've lived in Ireland for six years now and amount of near misses is beyond a joke. Is it ignorance or just they don't care?

The worst example I saw recently while trying to enter a roundabout (the one in front of Loughlinstown Hospital for those that know it) two cars came onto the roundabout from the N11 southbound 1 in LHS lane and 1 in RHS lane. The one in the LHS lane proceeded around to the 3rd (hospital) exit and the one in the RHS lane exited at the 2nd exit both attempting to cut each other off!

As far as I was concerned BOTH drivers were in the wrong!

I disagree > I too know this roundabout, and I would say that the driver in the RHS lane was correct, in so much as he was in the outside lane (of two lanes) & he wished to take the second exit, (which is fine if he stays in his RHS lane) . . . but I agree that the car on the inside lane going around to the Hospital (third exit) was completly in the wrong.
