On a lit roundabout near Workum (sign B6 + shark's-teeth present) you notice just before your exit that you are about to take the wrong one. What is correct?
- I briefly turn left-handed back to the previous exit, since there's no one around
- I have priority over all traffic on the roundabout, since I've been on it longer than they have
- ✓ I keep driving rechtsom, an extra lap if needed, until the correct exit
- I stop in the middle of the roundabout until the next exit is clear
Correct answer: I keep driving rechtsom, an extra lap if needed, until the correct exit
Explanation
False — 'Being on it longer' is not a rule — with sign B6 the rule is simply: traffic on the roundabout has priority over entering traffic, nothing more
Why learners get this wrong
- The direction of travel on a roundabout is always rechtsom (sign D1), even if it looks quiet
- Wrong. 'Being on it longer' is not a rule — with sign B6 the rule is simply: traffic on the roundabout has priority over entering traffic, nothing more
- Wrong. Stopping on the roundabout is neither necessary nor the solution — simply continue to the correct exit
