why cant 80% of people in this country use a roundabout properly? these are the things I dont understand:
1. why people stay in the outside lane ALL the way round and cut up all the traffic?
2. why dont people use their indicators?
3. when there is 3 lanes (at 6 o clock) onto a 4 exit roundabout and you want the 3rd exit ( at 3 o clock) DONT SIT IN THE MIDDLE FUC*ING LANE ALL THE WAY ROUND AND CUT UP THE PERSON IN THE INSIDE LANE. MOVE OVER AFTER THE EXIT BEFORE THE ONE YOU WANT

4. Use your eyes and look well ahead to see if there is any traffic to give way to; there is no need to come to a complete stop and sit looking for anyone else approaching in a 3 mile radius.

i agree!
when i was on holiday in morocco, i noticed that their rules of roundabouts is totally fucked up.
if your coming up to the roundabout you can enter onto it and anyone already on the roundabout has to give way!
but when your on the roundabout you get people coming onto it for hundreds of directions. its fooking nuts.

The one at Kingston used to be good before they put those obstacles up in the central reservations, now you have to stop

If you were in the outside lane you wouldn't cut anyone up as no one would want to cross your path.
Do you mean outside as in the outermost circle?
This isn't the same lane as outside on a dual carriageway.
I also suggest that you read Highway Code section 163  Its the person crossing the path who has to look. You're allowed to stay on if you're leaving at the next one and its not the last.

I don't get why it isn't just one big roundabout. Its magic if you make it across without getting beeped at.
