I don't think there is a straight-on. There's a left and a right...

OP
I cut roundabouts to show i wasn't going left it wasn't a total over the top would have being like a speed bump
just to clarify
small red line (sr) was me being lazy in drawing
Big red line is generally the middle of my car
blue line is what i saw of the vans route i just know it wasn't a direct left
purple is just showing the offending junction

Can't believe I put that!
As an aside, as a lesson for some of our more grammatically-challenged readers, can anyone tell me what's wrong with the offending sentence?
You are Dad is wrong.
i hate mini roundabouts

Nice to know
the amount of confusion you get at them though
give me a large huge busy birmingham roundabout over the mini roundabout in my village anyday

there are no roundabout in birmingham or anywhere in the midlands though
oh, haha
im sure there is
nope they got islands though
Correct
I'm not sure what I would have done in the situation due to the confusion of the junction! What you could do is indicate right for a couple of flashes then indicate left to show your intention to exit where you do. However, the van driver should have waited to see which exit you took. If some dollop isn't indicating, I always wait to see which way they are going before I go. On the other hand, even when I am indicating, some other dollop pulls out in front of me (and regrets it after a blast of horn and getting tailgated :devil
. Six and half a dozen I reckon.
I was taught if there are only two exits from a roundabout (like this) you treat it as left or right, there is no straight ahead.
Treat it the same as a raised roundabout, give way to the right, if its the first exit you want signal left, the second exit signal right until you pass the first exit then signal left to leave the roundabout.

The reason why not to is the one which isnt on the junction its got that extra right
When learning on a full size roundabout there was a petrolstation to the left so was told not to indicate. didnt get a minor in test for not indicating of as well semi simular

i make a point of usually going straight over them
if some friggin merc van tried that on me he'd soon get an earful of horn in the face
rule is: give way for traffic coming from the right.
another rule is: dont cross untill sure its safe to do so.
van man in direct crontravention of my rules
ive pissed someone off like that before on a roundabout - soon after i passed my test, was chatting to mates as i nearly took the front wing of a mondeo out:bang: i completely forgot about the traffic from the right rule!
(if somebody thinks it was me in keswick all those months ago, im very, very sorry)
