Yield to the right and yield to vehicles already on the roundabout.
Slightly confused by this.yeah thats my rule of thumb..but some big A-hole behind me want me to yield for him....and they don't bother changing into inside lane when exiting
of course i didn't speed up or slow down to keep him sweet..nice try though
On exiting, wouldn't you change to the outside lane (inside = closest to the centre....and they don't bother changing into inside lane when exiting
Slightly confused by this.
If you yield for someone behind you, surely you're blocking them?
i meant i am not slowing down to block them in purpose
Did you mean someone on your inside (to your right)?
yes.thats rite someone from ur 4 oclock position
On exiting, wouldn't you change to the outside lane (inside = closest to the centre, outside = furthest from the centre)?
biggest problem i have is people who indicate right when they are going straight through a roundabout, or those who don't indicate at all when turning right - very frustrating when trying to get on to a busy roundabout
Always use descretion and respect when using roundabouts and if some
idiot does cut you up or someone tries to enter / exit the wrong lanes etc, just relax, let them go on their merry way concentrate on your own driving and be thankful that you survived the roundabout.
if you intend exiting the roundabout at the 3 o clock position (3rd exit)
you may only enter the roundabout in the right lane and must remain on the right lane all the way around until your exit. Indicate right at entrance to roundabout and indicate left when you get to the 2nd exit (12 o clock)
otherwise I can pretty much guarantee that I won't be able to exit at the correct point as there will be traffic in the outside lane and I'll have to go around again and get into the outside lane at any point that I can.
Have you ever thought that if motorists (and I know it's not just a handful it is quite a few) simply followed the rules [similiar to the guide above] then these problems wouldn't be problems.... when faced with a very busy roundabout this is exactly what I will do
To do this however, you effectively have to cross over the outside lane, with the strong possibility that there is another car already in the outside lane who is not taking that exit, especially on a busy roundabout. You can't stop on the roundabout to wait for a space to exit....
And in regards to your 'under no circumstances....', when faced with a very busy roundabout this is exactly what I will do; otherwise I can pretty much guarantee that I won't be able to exit at the correct point as there will be traffic in the outside lane and I'll have to go around again and get into the outside lane at any point that I can.

The biggest problem is people staying in the outermost (left) lane and trying to go the whole way round.
To be honest I think a lot of people are completely incapable of the "formation driving" required on roundabouts.
My particular gripe is with junctions with two or more lanes for turning right. An example would be at Templeogue Bridge coming from the M50/Spawell. The amount of people who can't handle these situations is an indictment of our driving test system.
