Roundabout Diagram Questions
What the picture is testing
It is the same rule as the mandatory roundabout sign. Clockwise circulation. Yield to the right. The wrong answers are "I stopped first so I enter" and "traffic entering has priority". Neither is true.
If the roundabout in the picture is empty, you do not invent a car. You enter. If a car is shown on your right, close enough that your paths meet, you wait. Read the written question as well as the drawing. "Who gives way?" and "who may enter?" are the same fact with two wordings.
Free practice question
These are PassDrive practice examples, written so you learn the rule. The VID screen randomises its questions, so the wording on the day will be different.
Practice
In the diagram, may the car at the bottom enter now?
- Yes, because it is at the give-way line and can claim priority
- No. It gives way to the car already on the roundabout
- Yes, if it hoots
- Yes, because roundabouts run anticlockwise
Show the answer
B. No. It gives way to the car already on the roundabout. Traffic on the roundabout approaching from the right has priority. Circulation is clockwise.
Questions people ask
Which way do the arrows point?
Clockwise. Left-hand traffic goes around a roundabout in a clockwise direction.
