From: bikeulike on 6 Feb 2010 12:58 Your on the motorway, lane 1. You are going exit at the next junction. The exit slip road is two lanes as you leave it leads to a roundabout and you intend to take the third exit at the roundabout (Turn right effectively). Clearly you need to be in lane 2 of the slip road on the approach to the roundabout. Is the correct procedure. 1. Keep on the motorway and exit directly into lane 2 of the slip road. ie Keeping the exit road markings to you left and turning directly into lane 2 of the slip road. 2. Exit directly into lane 1 of the slip road and then move over to lane two of the slip road. Problems. If you follow 1 above, You risk the car behind you trying to end up in the same place (Slip road lane 2) If you follow 2 above, You risk a car overtaking you and trying to end up in the same place. I submit this question to the "Font of all knowledge" for the definitive answer!

Wrong group, but I would say keep in lane two then indicate well in advance and drift into lane one. I do this five nights per week going home. Mr Bloody Pounder >

Yes (unless the slip road is unusually long). Why do you even need to ask? > Problems. > > If you follow 1 above, You risk the car behind you trying to end up in > the same place (Slip road lane 2) I don't understand what you mean.
