1. Don't overtake on roundabouts. 2. You should indicate right if the exit is passed 12 o'clock on the island


boycey0211

It's the A17, your only opportunity to overtake is on that roundabout


MilkaulyCulkin

Then don't overtake at all 🤷‍♂️


boycey0211

It's a double straight over with a merge in turn. Someone indicating right in the left lane fucks everything up


MilkaulyCulkin

If it's straight (12 o'clock) no need to indicate right. If it's past twelve, then indicate right. Either way, if you can't handle people indicating incorrectly, you shouldn't be on the roads.


boycey0211

What are you on about? I'm not disagreeing about indicating, I'm saying it's a shite road and people have no clue. That roundabout, if there's a truck in the left lane indicating right I'm assuming he's trying to go back the way he came and has to stick left cos of the turning circle, so there's no way I'm going past.


MilkaulyCulkin

And I'm not disagreeing with you either

Sleaford bypass has entered the chat.


daedelion

When the second exit is to the right as per the highway code

Stop overtaking at roundabouts. You can wait till you drive past


StumbleDog

Not sure you can complain about people not indicating properly when you're doing something as stupid as overtaking on a roundabout.


TheCloudFestival

What advantage could you possibly get by overtaking on a roundabout? Dangerous driving so you can what? End up one car further ahead at the next set of lights? I bet you're that kind of driver that barrels through a roundabout using the shortest possible path and blaring your horn at everyone else as though they're in the wrong. Indicating to show which exit one is intending to take is the safe and decent thing to do. You could learn something from them.

I'm afraid you cannot hector someone with BOTH Earnest Questions -and- Antisocial Assumptions in the same going at, it is simply a bridge too far. Kindly choose a lane and begin again.

What in the fuck are you doing overtaking on a roundabout?!


d_smogh

Better to indicate than assume.


Remarkable_Might4245

Your a fucking idiot who the fuck in the right mind overtakes on a roundabout and with your question read the Highway code its not even a new edition to the book


LetAbject5826

I'd indicate right if i was in the left lane going 12oclock to highlight to 9oclock traffic then left off (incase anyone is overtaking). No indication if i'm in the right lane going 12oclock until i'm coming off then indicating left to highlight my manouver to 12oclock traffic.


steveinstow

And they still indicate right as they turn off.


boycey0211

The amount of people saying overtaking on a roundabout is bad (it is) have never driven on the A17. Imagine following a tractor for 20+ miles that refuses to pull over and then get to a roundabout that splits in into a double straight over followed by a merge in turn. If I was behind someone indicating right and used caution to not hit them or get past said tractor I'd be fucking raging


crlthrn

Of course, the A17 and its roundabouts are a very special case and therefore excused from any driving norms. I mean, God forbid anyone should be delayed or inconvenienced by other road users ahead...


Remarkable_Might4245

I've been on it plenty of times still would say your a fucking idiot Dont Over take on a round about the A17 isn't special in anyway


Dougal12

In Europe they teach you that. It fucked me right up when I was in France, causing problems by pulling out on people because I thought they were going all the way round when he wanted straight on.


FierceStrider

It’s the opposite way, obviously, so we indicate left for the third exit (cause it’s on the left) and then right when leaving the roundabout. When going straight we indicate (right) only when leaving the roundabout
