Choosing Lanes at Roundabouts - Part 1

Which lane should I choose at the roundabout?

It's a common cause of confusion amongst learner drivers (and some experienced ones!), and getting it wrong causes confusion to other drivers, can be unsafe and is a common reason for failing the UK driving test!

But it's actually very simple if you follow a few simple rules!

In this video I explain how to choose the correct lane on the approach to a variety of roundabouts, including those with and without lane markings on the approach.

I don't mention mirrors, signals or judging gaps because this is not a video about the MSM procedure at roundabouts - there are plenty of those already - this video is focused purely on how to choose which lane to be in before you get to the roundabout.

This is part 1 - in part 2 I will deal with choosing lanes for double roundabouts (2 roundabouts very close together) and also help you to learn to anticipate whether a roundabout is likely to have road markings telling you to choose a different lane than normal.

In Part 3 I will deal with choosing lanes for MULTI-LANE roundabouts (3 lanes or more)
