Wed, 17 Oct 2001, 05:58 pmWhat the heck is a swing?
It has received many a mention in the Les Mis debate.

'Roundabouts
The following information should assist.
Regardless of the type of roundabout, all vehicles entering must give way to any vehicle already within the roundabout.
You must always obey arrows marked on the road and only go in the directions indicated by the arrows.
You should signal your intention to leave the roundabout with your left indicator. If you are making the equivalent of a right turn (ie: going round to 'three o'clock') signal with your right indicator before entering and with your left on leaving.
Vehicle positioning and indication when using a roundabout.
There is often confusion (by drivers of all ages) about the correct procedure for using roundabouts.
Left hand exit
Approach in the left lane only (if more than one lane)
Use your left indicator on the approach and through the roundabout
Going straight through
Approach in the left lane or right lane (if more than one lane)
Do not indicate on the approach
If it is practicable, use your left indicator just prior to your chosen exit
Remember that large vehicles such as buses and trucks may need more than one lane to enter or exit a roundabout, so please allow plenty of clearance.
Right hand exit
Approach in the right lane only (if more than one lane)
Use your right indicator on the approach and leave it on until just before you are going to exit
Check the left lane is clear but stay in the right lane
If it is practicable, use your left indicator just prior to your chosen exit
Full circle (U-turn)
Approach in the right lane only (if more than one lane)
Use your right indicator on the approach and leave it on until just before you are going to exit
Check the left lane is clear but stay in the right lane
If it is practicable, use your left indicator just prior to your chosen exit'
