What if there’s a long vehicle at the roundabout?

4/1/2014

Long vehicles may need extra room to complete their turn in a roundabout. Remember never to drive next to large vehicles in a roundabout. You should look out for their signals.

Long vehicles may need to use more than one lane in order to negotiate the roundabout. Stay well back and give them plenty of room, they might need to take a different course as they go around the roundabout.

This rule needs revising. I have had lessons for various classes of vehicle and always taught the 12 o clock rule. Here, it simply suggests an appropriate lane. So you end up with drivers taking the racing line where an entry splits into 2 lanes.
12 o clock rule unless signs or markings indicate otherwise.
