Only, if by doing so, you are not driving dangerously, or without due
care and attention.



yip

So if 'perfectly legal' (and you might not be the person who will
finally judge that), why doesn't everyone do it, removing your
'special' advantage? You can't be the brightest person on there at any
time?

Round here there is a short dual carriageway leading up to a smallish
roundabout and I have observed several accidents where people have
approached the roundabout in the outside lane, gone round the inside
of the roundabout 90 degrees to exit left (their second exit) and been
scooped up by people intending to go straight on from the same entry
point (and they are correct).

Left lane for turning left or going straight on.
Right lane for going straight on or turning right.
Anything else and you are an accident waiting to happen.
