Second exit: How would you approach this roundabout??

[liner33]

Indicating right and then then left when actually going straight on seems to be a more common occurrence

Always stagger on roundabouts and then nothing will surprise you

Ashley Neal may be boring, but he talks a lot of sense, and one of his repeated points is to where possible avoid being alongside anyone on roundabouts or their approaches or exits, for just this reason- it is where people are most likely to change lanes, and the pressure of not missing an exit may mean they do it hurriedly without proper observations and/or without appropriate indications.

This is such a basic observation/self preservation measure, that I'm genuinely staggered that the majority just don't seem to be aware... of that or 101 other blindingly obvious daily occurrences.

Indeed. But when people don't realise that the rear wheels of an artic cut the corner rather than exactly following the front of the cab, and creep up on the left of said artics at roundabout entrances, what hope is there with more difficult concepts?
