Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: The right-hand lane..
When a driver approaches a roundabout where two lanes are provided; they should choose the most suitable one based on the road markings and the exit they intend to take off the roundabout. The left lane is generally used for vehicles exiting to the left (9 o'clock) or straight ahead (12 o'clock) and the right is for vehicles exiting at any exit after 12 o'clock.
