Approaching
Joining
Transiting
Exiting
Each road that joins a roundabout is called an exit.
When approaching a roundabout your instructor will tell you which exit we are aiming for.
“take the first exit, to the left”
“take the second exit, straight ahead”
“take the third exit, to the right”
As you approach a roundabout, you’ll see a give way line, we must give way to traffic approaching from the right.
You must drive clockwise around a roundabout. Never turn immediately right onto a roundabout, you will be driving into oncoming traffic!

Follow these "default" unless signs or road markings tell you otherwise.
“The 12 o’clock rule”.
If your exit is past 12o'clock, approach it like a right turn, unless signs or road markings tell you otherwise.
Look to giveway to traffic from the right
Look for traffic from the left blocking traffic from the right creating a gap
Use a "lifesaver" check before pulling away
Use kerbs to guide you through
