which shows car 2 is in the wrong. dual carriageway to dual carriageway roundabout, single straight exit for left hand lane only, right exit for left and right lanes. It's all in the roundabout sign picture on page 3 or 4The one shown highlights the OP's incident.
Shush. I love driving down an empty bus lane outside of the hours they operate. Don’t tell everyone! :)I don't know about retests, but noticed in the eighties it was all about getting people on the road to increase revenue. It's a shambles out there, you've only have to look at bus lanes, people shit themselves and give them a wide berth, when they are not active.
the left can turn right here though. The only restriction on the left lane is they can't do a 360 degree move.It really needs road markings in my opinion. Unfortunately people will use both lanes as most will be going that way you would expect with it being the A299 before and after the roundabout. It was built in the last 10 years so possibly a bypass to relieve local traffic. That said, like you say, even if you did use the left lane incorrectly, anyone using the right lane should stick to the right lane on the roundabout AND exit into the right lane before attempting to move into the left lane after the junction.
Car 2 enters the roundabout in the right hand lane, exits the right turn in the left lane (legally entitled to do) How is car 2 (the OP) in the wrong?which shows car 2 is in the wrong. dual carriageway to dual carriageway roundabout, single straight exit for left hand lane only, right exit for left and right lanes.

road marks should be on every roundabout and maintained as well as some of them are in a poor state. Some are impossible to see in rainIt really needs road markings in my opinion.

look at the picture of the roundabout sign ffsCar 2 enters the roundabout in the right hand lane, exits the right turn in the left lane (legally entitled to do) How is car 2 (the OP) in the wrong?

I can see why.
They aren't supposed to use the left lane here, in the absence of signage or road markings instructing otherwise they should default to the highway code instructions of left lane for left turns (and going straight ahead) and right lane for (right turns and u-turns).the left can turn right here though. The only restriction on the left lane is they can't do a 360 degree move.
