Right we have a video people!!! I have driven it how i always do, there was no traffic which is weird!!

Anyway, turns out lane 3 is left turn only. that is the only road marking.

PS Ignore the girls giggling, i picked daughter and her mate up from dance class..

Looks the way I would drive it - would be wary of people on the left on the second roundabout not turning left and going straight on

That never happens, as i said thats the only lane thats marked to be left only. The way i drove it, the things to watch for are people trying to go from 2 to 4 and then from 5 to 6/7..

Then all looks good to me then :thup:
 
My driving style could be politely described as "brisk" so: Lane 1 left or straight ahead, lane 2 straight ahead or right. I choose 2. Lane 3, left of timid driver going straight on. Lane 4 straight on, lane 5 straight on or right. 5 for me, I'll easily beat timid toad if he's going straight on. Lane 6, left or straight on, lane 7, right or straight on. I'll take lane 7, thank you. So I voted 2, 5, 7.
 
I was taught at roundabouts, when in the left hand lane you shouldn't pass more than 2 exits. But in this case its separate 2 roundabouts , so the left lane if going straight through is ok, imo.

There really should be lane markers or signs, we have single squareabout with 5 exits here, and it causes havoc. Some drivers don't count the small exit /entrance into a major supermarket.:angry:
 
When driving in Spain I found that everyone seems to approach a roundabout in lane 1, and then takes the last exit off that roundabout.:eek: I took lane 2 to go straight across, second exit, and nearly got side swiped by a car go all the way round the outside of the roundabout. The idiot then had the nerve to toot me. Oh yes and Spanish cars seem to have indicators that don't work at roundabouts.

If there are three exits off a roundabout, I always thought you should indicate left if taking the first exit, no indication if you are taking the second one until past the first exit, and then idicate left, and if you are taking the third exit, indicate right approaching the roundabout, and then indicate left after the second exit. Hopefully you will be in the right lane, but as Rooter says if you are in a 4X4 lanes don't apply to you.:whistle:
 
The thing that doesn't look right to me from your video is exiting the second roundabout from the left lane and moving straight to the right hand lane on the dual carriageway.

I am not a profeshnial though so accept I might be wrong.
 
2 4 an 6 but it's not on the list.

Would of of designed lane 3 for left turn only.

But all that depends if you are over seventy or in your teens. 😳
