This one does my head in...

Imagine you are approaching this roundabout from Ferris Row (top of the
picture).

Which of the three approach lanes should you be in if you intend to exit
onto Fairground Way (bottom left of the picture).

Most people seem to think it perfectly OK to take what is basically a
right-hand exit off the roundabout by approaching in the middle lane,
then
get irate when a few drivers approach in the right-hand lane to exit on
Fairground way.


Approach the roundabout in lane 2, indicate left as you arrive at 2nd exit
(Ferris Row) and take position to exit (lane 1) into Fairground Way.


Unless there happens to be a lady driver in a huge Mercedes who has
arrived at the inside lane and plans to drive round to exit 3:-(

Happened to me at Costco, Watford.


So much for your awareness of other road users near you.
