How to Drive in a Roundabout Correctly - Rules & Tips

In this video you will learn how to safely drive in a roundabout. We’ll go through:

-Left turns
-Right turns
-Going straight ahead
-Some general rules

A roundabout consists of a central island and one or more lines of traffic that travel in the same direction. Always keep right of the central island.

When using a roundabout, you will need to enter depending on where you want to exit, and it’s important that you know what you want to do before entering the roundabout. You have 4 different exit points in nearly every roundabout: exiting to the right, to the left, straight ahead, or back the way you came.

these roundabouts always cause me so much panic, now it's easier!

It would help so much if you discussed and illustrated how to safely cut across a lane in a roundabout when needed. What if all lanes are and you are in the left lane? How do you cross an occupied lane to your right in order to exit to the right? Plus, you say you need to know what to do before you enter a roundabout. What's the best way to approach a roundabout you're unfamiliar with?

Not Changing lane and signaling while exiting in the roundabout are some of the rules expressed with an illustration. Thank you very much.

And the number one rule: if it's not safe to exit from the left lane, go around again! Too many people will just come to a sudden stop if they can't get over, and that's far more dangerous. Just put your left signal back on and keep going around. You'll be able to get out the next time around, and it doesn't take that long.
