Not that it matters too much it's basic round about rules surely?

Which it seems 90% of current drivers don't know Then again, 90% of current drivers appear to be complete halfwits.

Having said that, arrows on the road are not good enough IMO. If common sense is not up to the job either the car in front will be on top of the arrows anyway. Is there not a clearer sign back up the road?

you would have thought. although the fact that its even been asked would suggest common sense is about to be thrown on it's head

Left hand lane turn left (1st exit) or staight on (2nd exit)
Right hand lane follow road markings and turn right (3rd exit), particularly as 2nd exit is single lane.

Hi TB, is that the roundabout by Tesco's with VAG garage opposite?

If so, that has always been a fun roundabout, even more so before they blocked the original old A5 going straight across (In the direction of your arrows).

The way I've viewed it, the layout is so bad, that if you could go in either lane. If your in the left lane you could follow the markings and go round the to right on the second roundabout and in theory, not cut anyone up 

It needs both roundabouts taken out and replaced with a long oval one!

IMHO 
if you were in the left lane you'd be turning left to leave from the bottom of the picture or carying straight on to leave top left.
If in the right lane you'd be leaving from the top of the picture.

Yup, I agree with Andy, (check the Highway Code  )

[the alarming man]

forget highway code....follow paint work in road costs a lot to paint them signs

lol you said VAG

On a "normal" roundabout both lanes can be used to travel straight on unless road signs/markings tell you other wise, the left lane can also be used for turning left & the right lane also used for turning right or going around if you're confused 
The markings for the lanes in that picture are right for right & left for straight on.

imo as a junior member i would tend to agree with the majority and left lane for left or straight on and right lane for right.....on consulting with wifey who knows all and does not stick to any lane in particular when going round a round about the direct route across the round about is favoured

Sort of understand what you are saying, but there is only one lane straight ahead. That looks like a strange one anyway, looking at the pictures you seem to be able to turn around something before you get to the main bit.....

Anyway, left lane for first and second exits and right for 3rd.......

yup, the very one, tescos and wayside Audi, not far from marshalling b&q




by right, do people mean leave the 2nd roundabout upwards?

lol paul just cos youre a junior member of this site doesnt make you any less qualified as a driver and understanding driving rules! 

as for the comment about right hand lane being ok to go straight on....... isn't this just for when the straight on path is dual lanes? wouldnt chance going straight over a roundabout with single exit lanes (as per picture) in the right hand lane! but hey, what do i know... i occasionally drive in my socks!!!

I thought I recognised it!!  I used to work round the corner on the Ind Est at Wincantons in the late 80's. It was always fun when I was a "I know everything about driving boy racer" many moons ago, lol.

MK was a great place in the 70's & 80's but is just a concrete city now, shame really.
