So she was on whats called the inner lane according to that.think she was on the inner lane and he was on the outer lane. (on a road the right hand side is the outer lane)
Yes, she was.was she exiting the road at this junction too or just the other driver?
Twoif so was there two lanes at the exit or only one?
That I will have to find out, as she is in bed sleeping off the incident before work again at 7-30was the exit at 12 oclock or less from where she entered the roundabout. if so she had a right to be in the lane she was in.
IMO, the rules of the road are unclear wrt a two lane roundabout leading to a two lane exit.
Theoretically, for an exit > 12:00 at the roundabout, all traffic should be on the inner (right-hand) lane - standard practice for going around the roundabout. On approaching the exit, car should indicate, and move into appropriate lane for exit of roundabout - in a two lane exit this could mean either moving into the outer (left-hand) lane. Here normal rules apply - the outer lane should be clear before moving into it. But, these kind of roundabouts are commonly seen on motorway onramps or exits, so would there be a situation where a car could legally occupy the outer lane for the exit ie. approaching the roundabout to take the first left or straight-on exits?
This is why the guards leave it up to drivers to resolve the situation - too messy for them to get involved!
When taking the last exit or going full circle
* check for traffic on your left,
* .
In all cases watch out for and give plenty of room to
* traffic crossing in front of you on the roundabout, especially vehicles intending to leave by the next exit
