Serious Fault Identified To take the third exit at a roundabout, the driver should normally use the right-hand lane. However, the driver incorrectly approached and used the left-hand lane instead. 🚗 Scenario The driver intended to take the third exit at a roundabout (which usually requires the right-hand lane), but approached and continued from the left-hand lane. 📋🧭 DVSA Guidance Summary For right turns or taking the third (or later) exit at a roundabout, the correct procedure is: → Use the right-hand lane, unless road markings indicate otherwise. → Signal right on approach. → Signal left just before exiting. Using the left-hand lane for a right turn is incorrect lane discipline. The severity of the fault depends on whether other road users are affected. ✅ Example DVSA Outcome Fault recorded: Lane discipline – serious Test result: Unsuccessful (Fail) Reason: The driver approached in the left lane to take the third exit, potentially cutting across other traffic on the roundabout. 🧑‍✈️ DVSA-Style Advice From a Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency perspective, this would likely be marked as a serious fault because it shows poor planning and unsafe lane use. To improve: Plan early: Check signs and road markings well before the roundabout. Mirror–signal–position–speed–look (MSPSL): Position correctly in the right lane in good time. Follow lane discipline: Stay in your lane and avoid cutting across others. Observation is key: If you realise you're in the wrong lane, it’s often safer to follow that lane and go the wrong way rather than force your intended exit. 👉 In a driving test, safety is more important than route accuracy. Taking the wrong exit is usually a minor issue—but unsafe lane changes can lead to a fail.
