Cars A and B are both heading for Exit C.

Which land should each car be in before exiting the roundabout?

It's a long time since I passed my test, but can they not just stay in the lanes they're in?

Both lanes would take them off for Exit C would it not?

quite prepared to be told IABU

HouseOfGoldandBones · 26/05/2017 12:45

Oh, and excellent diagram Star

what houseofgold says

I hate roundabouts. what's wrong with traffic lights and proper lanes?

luckylucky24 · 26/05/2017 12:47

Both lanes.

DuggeeHugs · 26/05/2017 12:47

Look like they're fine as they are - just need to continue in lane

NannyR · 26/05/2017 12:47

They are both in the correct lane, aren't they?

noschooll4mee · 26/05/2017 12:48

Looks to me like Car A is in the lane for Exit B and should be in one of the inner 2 to go to Exit C

Gowgirl · 26/05/2017 12:48

Car b should try to move left but can exit in their current lane, car a is fine, lovley diagram!

Lj8893 · 26/05/2017 12:48

Both lanes, they would just needs to stay in thier respective lanes when they exit the roundabout.

HouseOfGoldandBones · 26/05/2017 12:48

What were your thoughts @Nerves2017 ?

MaxPepsi · 26/05/2017 12:49

The lanes they are in are both fine.
B stays in the lane it's already in and A moves across to the right so they are next to each other.
Unless b immediately wanted to turn left coming off the roundabout then they should be in a different lane so as not to cut up anyone on the inside of them.

RufusTheRenegadeReindeer · 26/05/2017 12:49

I think they are in the right lanes

Did the other car prefer your lane more?

QueenMortificado · 26/05/2017 12:50

Is car A in the lane where car A is written or the pink blob? If the pink blob then continue in their lane

RoganJosh · 26/05/2017 12:51

I think they're fine as they are.

Did car B move into car A's lane?

honeysucklejasmine · 26/05/2017 12:53

If the cars are the colour coded squares then they should both just continue in lane. No issue.

LIZS · 26/05/2017 12:53

Assumng it is a dual carriageway at exit c both lanes can filter in.

Nerves2017 · 26/05/2017 12:59

Car B was me earlier, I continued in my lane, following it around and Car A was drifting into my lane rather than following his around.

No indication, he wasn't trying to cut in, he believed that I was in the wrong lane and had drifted into the wrong lane?!?

I received a lot of abuse, he got it back. Told him to look at the road markings and all the other cars doing the same as me! Why can't people drive?

TondelayaDellaVentamiglia · 26/05/2017 12:59

from that diagram i'd say both cars are fine to go off at ExitC, sticking to their lanes ...it's two lanes to two lanes.

Nerves2017 · 26/05/2017 13:01

Just to add the road markings on the diagram are actually on the road itself!

ComputerUserNotTrained · 26/05/2017 13:07

Car A is in the wrong lane. Happens to the best of us, but when it does you change lanes if and when it's safe, and aren't a dick about it.

HectorHedgehog · 26/05/2017 13:10

I agree with LIZS

TheTurnOfTheScrew · 26/05/2017 13:11

yup, both follow their own lanes

Although if you regularly encounter people messing it up it's worth hanging back and being extra vigilant - the route back to the motorway from the Trafford Centre is always full of interesting interpretations of lane markings, so I'm extra careful.

Gillian1980 · 26/05/2017 13:16

They're in the correct lanes and should just continue as they are.

NicolasFlamel · 26/05/2017 13:19

It looks exactly the same as the roundabout I was this morning where some absolute twat didn't even pick a lane and just dominated two of them until drifting off without indicating at the 3rd exit. Ridiculous.
