You would approach in the RHL to go straight if the left lane was full of people waiting to turn left but it was congested etc.. After you pass that exit you move left, to take the next exit. Which is what you said, and I agree this is what I would do, and is good driving.
This is what I was arguing for as being the circumstance to go straight from the RHL at the start of this thread.
Even if there is nobody in the left lane and there are two exit lanes, you can still take the RHL when entering the roundabout, but you really wouldnt if someone was indicating right and was in the RHL.frozenfrozen wrote: »It's totally different to saying, third exit, right lane. Every time. (outside of being signposted etcetcetcetc) Which is what decent skin is saying.
My rule which has so far not been proven wrong, is left lane for anything before 12 o clock. And I outlined the circumstances for when you would use the RHL to go 'straight' (which is where you would move left to exit, after passing the earlier exits.)
If you would agree with decent skin that the left lane is for the first two lanes always bar none (except for being signposted otherwise)? Then you've already contradicted yourself by saying you would move back to the left lane before exiting. There's no benefit to entering a roundabout in the right lane to go to an exit before 12 o clock (unless the left is full etc like above). You have to make a lane change to exit, so you would potentially be crossing somebody else's path, or forcing people to yield further around the roundabout.
All fine if you believe the clock rule to be the right rule. However I couldnt be contradicting myself as everyone needs to change/move to the left lane if in the right lane in order to exit the roundabout, and you would do so if not taking the first two exits.frozenfrozen wrote: »The sad thing is that this is all quite pointless, because as has been said nobody else cares, even if it was just us with our different interpretations of the rules, it would still be fine because we all give way to the right anyway. It really is just academic, we should be playing road traffic simulator or something because other people will continue to just drive through roundabouts without giving a **** about indicating or right of way or anything
Agreed on that point. It must be a quite day in the office

No I didn't!
I agree wholeheartedly! IF it's a standard one.Or perhaps you think there's no ambiguity in cement factory roundabout, and I was wrong to say I've never seen anyone indicating right and taking the right hand lane to go for the tunnel.
I don't know what you've seen, but you've obviously never seen me on it.
3rd exit = right lane & indicate until the Cement Factory entrance.0
