You are driving in the inner lane of a turbo roundabout. Between the two ring lanes there is a raised lane divider with a solid line on each side. The exit you want can only be reached from the outer lane. What do you do?
- ✓ I stay in my lane, take that lane's exit and make a detour
- I signal and change lanes when the outer lane is clear
- I drive back a little anticlockwise to a place where I can change
Correct answer: I stay in my lane, take that lane's exit and make a detour
Explanation
On a turbo roundabout you choose your lane before the roundabout. On the ring a raised divider and solid lines separate the lanes: changing is not allowed. Wrong lane? Take your lane's exit and make a detour.
Why learners get this wrong
- Incorrect: you choose your lane only on the roundabout. On the ring a raised divider and solid lines separate the lanes; you may not cross them. You choose your lane before the roundabout.
- Incorrect: you mix up driving direction and priority. On a roundabout you drive anticlockwise; driving back against the direction of travel is not allowed.
