Question:
Which lane do you get in to go straight ahead when the straight ahead turn off is past "12 0'clock" I have tried both left and right lane and get beeped at and have rude gestures made to me which ever way I do it! If an accident happened who would be right and who would be wrong?
When I learnt to drive I was taught that you get in the right hand lane if the junction is past "12 o'clock" is this correct?
Answers:
Driving a dangerous truck for work, am I liable or is my company?
it is more down to the number of exitsleft lane for exit 1 (say 9 o clock), left lane for exit 2 (unless there are only 2 exits)
What can happen if the wheels are too wide for the car?
right lane for the rest, you filter across after exit 2, unless the road markings indicate otherwise, or the 2 exit is a dual carriage way exit.
Should they make driving tests harder for white people?
EXTRA - The highway code only takes in terms of number of exits , not their O Clock position.
Things to always have in your car?
Personally i would not follow the go in the outside all the way advise, as someone in the middle lane, may well presume you are going to exit after 2 junctions at most, and plan to move across. Traffic should flow from the inside out, to make round about work in high traffic flows.
My little brother is 15, is it wrong for my mom to make him sit in a booster seat in the car?
You are probably not to blame, but you see loads of people, doing a whole lap of the round about in the outside lane, or those who cut across from the inside at the last night.
Why do people insist on walking on the right?
If you take reasonable care and indicate as you move, you should never be blamed.
Under average driving conditions how long will new tires lasts?
EXTRA EXTRA - there are so many wrong answers, read the highway code or a book of 'roadcraft' , advanced driving. as on person said there are time when going against the rule actually improves things and this is mainly down to poor planning by the council safety people.
If EVERYONE followed the rules (there is only 1 set of) then roundabouts would work so much better.
What is curbstoning and why is it illegal?
PS to one of the answerers, how can it depend on the 'o clock' position and on the number exits, 2 rules?
Yeah I would agree, I would go in the right, its tough though as depends how far right it is, I think alots of people make mistakes with that, thats prob why they beep you as THEY are in the wrong
It is correct, but it depends on a lot of other factors. Unfortunately it seems that each roundabout is independent. My partner is a driving instructor, and he has to learn each roundabout in our town to teach the pupil the method that most examiners like! Some of them go against the rules just because it makes life easier.
I would say that as long as you make your intentions plain, indicate and move lanes correctly, everyone else will just have to fit in around you. In my experience it's usually the arrogant ones who are going far too fast themselves that are quick to judge.
Sample driving licence questions for USA?
you get beeped at because the others are in wrong lanes probablyi go the right side and then just after the first turn of before it start to move in to the left to get ready for exit ,
alot of cars would be in left and stay in left i know on a certain roundabout near me when driving through it staying in the left is best due to the way other drivers approach it
Why did you get in your car accident??
You are correct and if there were an accident, you would not be at fault. Don't forget to put your turn indicator on as you pass the exit immediately prior to yours. This makes your plans 100% clear, even to the 99% of drivers who have no idea how to negotiate a roundabout.What age and height do you have to be to sit in the front passenger seat with an airbag?
if you're not sure i would suggest going in the left hand lane because then you don't have to cut across lanes once you get to your turn off and therefore probably less likely to cause an accident. Also make your indicating clear, signal left just before you turn offFlat tire in driveway - can I drive it to the store to put air in it?
One thing I will say though is ignore the idiots who make rude gestures at you! If you've made a genuine mistake (or indeed actually probably haven't made a mistake - everyone just thinks they own the road!), it's ridiculous to start beeping and stressing everyone out.
At what speed crash does the driver's airbag on an S-reg Ford Escort deploy?
Yep I agree your right although depends on number of exits etc. As long as you indicate for your turning asap then it shouldnt be a prob. Its usually the other people that cant drive!That sounds right to me although like others say it does depend on the roundabout. Maybe when you are going round the roundabout you have kind of wavered a bit into another lane and that is why people have beeped at you or else it's just people being rude and impatient!
Why don't hospitals provide 4 wheel drive vehicles to the doctors?
Sometimes there is an arrow, on one roundabout here it says left turn is left lane straight on and right is right lane, i would stay in the right lane or watch what others do, i think they are probably peeping cos they are inpatient idiots and can see you are trying to figure it out and maybe are a little slower than they would like u to be.Can a cop pull you over for suspicion?
Just ignore take your time and see what others do, i was on the road in the eve for the first time in a long time and couldn't believe the bad driving out there, people speeding and overtaking and then taking the next turn off, people too close behind, mmm wish i was a copper he he
Yes that is corect but maybe you should stay in the lane as you go round and make sure you get round the roundabout before ne one else comes out.
How old do i have to be to ride an electric scooter?
As long as you make it clear before the turning you intend to leave the roundabout and do not hog the inside lane if you are passing more than 2 exits then you should be ok. Unless the lanes are premarked before hand and the rule is to get in lane before joing the roundabout of course then if you are in the wrong lane.What helps you the most to be a safe driver?
You're quite right, unless the road markings say otherwise. It's usually because others don't know how to do it properly that they hoot at you. I'm sure you give your signals correctly.If Speed cameras are soley for road safety why are speed camera detector illegal?
You should be in the left hand lane to go straight ahead!BUT!
When negotiating a roundabout you must give way to traffic from the right!
On a test you would fail if you took the right hand lane but after the test its either / or depending on how ballsey you are!
