Approach Right
Before taking this lesson, please read and agree to our Terms and Conditions
The right turn in this example is the third exit.
Again use your MSPSL.
A right turn must be dealt with much earlier as, if you are on a dual carriageway, you may need to change lanes on approach. Give yourself plenty of time to do this or you may find yourself stuck in the wrong lane as you get to the roundabout.
Mirrors. As you approach, check your interior and exterior right mirrors.
Signal. If it is safe to do so, signal right.
Position. Take the right hand lane.
Speed. As with left and straight ahead, your speed and gear will be governed by the shape of the roundabout and traffic conditions. Be prepared to stop if necessary.
Look. If it is safe to do so, enter the roundabout. Keep to the right hand lane unless road markings tell you otherwise.
As you pass the exit before the one you want, check your interior and exterior mirrors and change your signal from right to left - remember this will be two clicks of the indicator stalk.
Check your left blind spot and, if safe, move to the left lane as you leave the roundabout. If, when you check your blind spot, it is not safe to change lanes or there are road markings telling you otherwise, you may take the right lane as you exit the roundabout.
Remember to check your mirror and cancel your signal as you accelerate away.
