Driving In Britain

-- Roundabout Basics


There are 4 main things you must know about roundabouts:

  1. Give way to traffic already on the roundabout.
  2. Give way to the right within the roundabout.
  3. Keep up your speed.
  4. Plan your exit.

To find out how all these things work together for good, have a look at this article I wrote for In Britain, official organ of the British Tourist Authority.
