Duda circulatory

Surely many times, especially if you are a driver you will have had difficult times in roundabouts because drivers often do not heed the signs correctly, and if not for their own precautions would have been more had a stroke.

Well, it is that today's post to see if I think I have reason, or act wrongly in my driving, which almost brings me to a crash that could have been quite important in a roundabout with another vehicle. So expose the situation:

As seen in the picture below, the situation was clear, a 2-lane road with a roundabout joining, also 2 lanes and 2 lane exit are the roundabout. So far so normal, and the incorporation was normal, my car (green square) is incorporated into the right lane and outside, and the other vehicle into the left lane and inside, the problem came later, as the roundabout is also 2 lanes out. then, what happened is what you see in the picture:

The roundabout had no directional arrows (was under construction), but I understand that though there are two exit lanes, which is on the outside lane, ie I have the ability to exit the roundabout or turn on the roundabout while going through the interior can only continue to spin even though there are two lanes. or exit in the event that no one came not from the outside, but without preference. Anyway, that thought he could get out, I started to turn purple and the point we had to slam on the brakes to avoid empotrarnos. Therefore:

What think you?

a) He who is on the inside lane can only turn at the roundabout, and how much came out but no one on the outside lane and he that is on the outside can exit the roundabout Or continue turning.

b) Who is on the outside lane must necessarily leave the roundabout and he who is on the inside lane roundabout can choose to leave or go around the roundabout

c) Whether you're on the inside lane of the roundabout or the outside lane can choose to walk around the roundabout or exit the roundabout because there are two lanes. (The truth is that this seems like complete chaos, but surely someone thinks)

d) Another option that can be named and correct.

The case is that looking at it coldly, like the right choice is b) and that is on the outside can only leave the roundabout, Nose, I'm confused, so I hope your comments to help me know if it works properly or not

Edited and updated

Apparently, following recent comments, while the other car as I do, we act incorrectly and the correct maneuver would have been:

Me: Because I wanted it to turn, should have gone down the inside of the roundabout and just before reaching the exit to the outside lane change me.

The other car: that was to follow straight, should have gone down the outside lane of the roundabout.

More information in the comments, and root of all this, certainly if we can say that people rarely act properly at roundabouts if ever, .

Neither is correct (well, to but modified). Which is on the right lane avenue to do it now. If you turn left or make U-turn, you have to merge into the left lane and switch, and within the roundabout to the right.
That is, if you had hit it would have been the fault of another.

Okay, according to the maneuver Blaxter link seems clear:
The blue car should have done:
4. If you intend to go straight to enter the same does not have to signal anything, has to move in the right lane and when in the last quarter-round, with the indicator señalícelo right direction.
And the green car (I):
5. If you intend to turn left, before entering the roundabout must be at the left side, and señalizarlo with the corresponding indicator light. While circulating inside will do it for the left (inside), and by the third quarter indicate his intention to move to the right, stand on the right and leave it.
6. If you want to do is to turn 180 degrees to make a U-turn, will do the same as in item 5, and will rank right at the last quarter-round, having opportunely marked with intermittent right.
So according to that, THE TWO WE DID WRONG, and that the theory of roundabouts is fine, but many times you find that the circumstances of the traffic and the small size of the srotondas you from maneuvering properly and people take the law as it wants.
Well, well know for the future, at least if you crash it's not your fault.

as Blaxter says the other, but changed ...
if you're in the right lane ("outside") is to leave the roundabout, and if you go through the left ("inside") is to continue turning.
obviously, if your you intended for the right turn, hast wrought ill, as the individual B, the left circulating intended to follow.
Pd: the yield is placed upside down ...

the roundabouts only serve to create confusion and fright, and evil is k are hot and how much bigger the better!! Reuben lies with you no traffic rules serves pq q is the only law of the jungle.

You Did Indeed both wrong. Do not head Miralles, if you go right you get to the right, and if you go left you get to the left, but what almost happens happens. Greetings.

But I do not see it so clear.
It is illogical q q one has to rotate and the other out. In the event that the right-out would necessarily q, pq would not be able to leave tb the other? not collide. In the event that the other has q continue to rotate, ponder pq would not continue to rotate the other? if on the left You do not cross ... It makes no sense to limit both.
So you can rotate or both, or both may rotate. In my opinion the two can rotate and ruben did well.
Puto September 24, 2007 at 16:49
q wanted to say the two can be rotated, and only turn on the right
Miguel Daza September 24, 2007 at 20:49
Yes, it is true Puto, which should not ever turn is to the left to the right.

Blaxter ruben I am with if you had been would have serious hit because of otro.pero if I were you if I turn left I put in curries izquierdo.aunque the other was to take another turn at the roundabout if you saw your intermitene to avoid a possible ostia
