Sometimes and sometimes not. If not, then it is almost a must to be in
L1 ready for the exit. If it is one with a wide exit then assuming you
make sure there is no one to your left, it is usually safe to exit
directly from L2.

If you have one in mind that doesn't, send a Google Maps link.

Be careful. Now I've got the video bug, I might have to demonstrate how it's
done from L2. The last roundabout in my longer sequence has three minor
exits...

Drivers that stay level with each other, even on a straight road, are
generally not being particularly clever. Fortunately roundabouts are usually
self limiting due the curvature.

In a zig zag formation, the person in front should normally be given the
prize.

Serious newsgroup? You're having a laugh, aren't you??

This has never been a serious newsgroup since.....

1) Firth infested it with his vile, abusive rants
2) Adrian bored everyone with his pedantic shite
3) Silk tried to break the world record for the most 'Pikey' references
4) Connor tried to exonerate EVERY HGV driver's indiscretion
