How to Drive in a Roundabout?
3 Answers
A roundabout generally has four exits, and vehicles must travel in a counterclockwise direction. Select the desired exit location and direction, and when approaching the exit, turn on the appropriate signal light before slowly exiting the roundabout. Below are the relevant regulations: 1. Vehicles in the inner lane of the roundabout before exiting: Should merge into the outer lane in advance. If a vehicle in the inner lane exits directly and collides with a vehicle in the outer lane, it is considered continuous lane changing and bears full responsibility. 2. When entering the roundabout: It is not necessary to turn on the turn signal. Observe the traffic flow, confirm safety, and merge into the roundabout. Before exiting the roundabout, turn on the right turn signal in advance, then exit the roundabout and enter the straight lane.
I've always been very careful when driving around roundabouts. As a beginner, I was a bit timid. First, slow down to an appropriate speed, and before entering, check to see if there are any cars coming from the left inside the roundabout. If there are, stop and wait. Once inside, stay in your lane and avoid changing lanes randomly. When exiting, signal right in advance to let others know you're turning. The first time I drove around a roundabout, I got honked at by the car behind me because I signaled too late. On rainy days, you need to go even slower as poor visibility can easily lead to accidents. After practicing a few times, I've become much more skilled now. Always remember to check the rearview and side mirrors to ensure no one suddenly cuts into your lane. The key is to be patient, safety first, and don't rush too much.
I've been driving for ten years, and navigating roundabouts requires experience and confidence. Slow down before entering, make sure there are no cars inside the roundabout, and don't hesitate. Once inside, maintain a steady speed—not too fast. Signal right early when exiting so others know your move. I've seen many people turn out without signaling, which easily leads to scratches. During peak hours when roundabouts are congested, keep some distance when following cars—don't tailgate. Also, choose the correct entry lane in multi-lane roundabouts—don't weave recklessly. Drive with confidence, don't stop in the middle blocking the way, and you'll get used to it gradually.
