Roundabout situation - which lane do you use?

[GunpowderGelatine]

Say you're approaching a roundabout that has 3 exits as follows:
Exit 1: At 12 o clock/straight ahead
Exit 2: At 3 o clock/ left
Exit 2: At 6 o clock/going back where you came from.

You need to use exit 2, and there are 2 lanes going round the roundabout. Do you:
A. use the right hand lane all the way round to the exit or
B. Use the left hand lane, moving into the right hand lane once you've passed the first exit?

I know which I use, and what I was taught when learning to drive, but I'm lead to believe there are 2 camps of people on this with differing views. Which lane would you use and why please?

TIA

3 o'clock is right not left tho?!

Isn’t three o’clock right?

Don't you mean 2 exits? Lane 1 for first exit and lane 2 for second exit and if you must lane 2 to go all the way around.

(I just had to go and find a clock btw )

Yeah your post makes no sense. Soz where does left at 3 o'clock come in?

Agh I'm an idiot, in mY OP on option B I mean stat in the right and move to the left lane 🤦🏼‍♀️

I'm a bit stumped here. Should your OP read:

Exit 1: At 12 o clock/straight ahead
Exit 2: At 3 o clock/ right
Exit 3: At 6 o clock/going back where you came from.

That's the only way I can make sense of it.

Anyway, I don't understand why you would ever need to move from the left lane into the right lane on any roundabout (assuming you are in a country where you drive on the left?). You would be moving towards the centre of the roundabout and away from the exits. If you started in the right hand lane of any roundabout, you would eventually need to move into the left lane in order to exit.

I'd do B, because if I do A and there is someone in the inside land coming from the exit before mine, and heading off at exit 1, I'd be in the way.

I've reported my post to amend it. Sorry for the confusion

I’m no wiser after the update.

Is the answer “about half past four?”

Cross posted. I would start in the RH lane and move to LH lane after passing the first exit.

Maybe no driving from you til you know left from right.

I think the answer is "OP should probably stop driving when she can't tell her left from her right"

AMENDED POST:

Exit 1: At 12 o clock/straight ahead
Exit 2: At 3 o clock/ right
Exit 2: At 6 o clock/going back where you came from.

You need to use exit 2, and there are 2 lanes going round the roundabout. Do you:

B.

I should have lied and said I live in Spain. Dammit

There are still two exit 2s 😂

Inside lane until pass first exit.

Definitely B

Seventy-twelve?

I love this thread - it sounds like the inside of my head

B for me

B, as per Highway Code section 186.

When taking an exit to the right or going full circle, unless signs or markings indicate otherwise
signal right and approach in the right-hand lane
keep to the right on the roundabout until you need to change lanes to exit the roundabout
signal left after you have passed the exit before the one you want.

You would never use the outside lane to go three-quarters of the way around a roundabout, too much risk of someone on the inside lane going through you.

Is it the first exit 2, or the second one?

OP have you considered a DIAGRAM?

B.. unless there are road signs/markings which say both lanes go round the roundabout

There are idiots who like to turn right at a roundabout using the left lane and no indicators.

Its like a dare.

It's B!
