Video – How to drive at circles
Secunda motorists do not know how to drive round a circle.
In Plain English
Essentially what this means is that the first vehicle to cross the line has the right of way. This works in much the same way as a four way stop.
Who has the right of way?
Example
In the above example Vehicle 2 has the right of way even though Vehicle 1 is to the right. This is because Vehicle 2 has crossed the line first.
Indicating Your Intentions
Most mini circles are too small, often just a “dot” in the road, to allow for turn signaling as in a roundabout. The rule is therefore different to a roundabout
When approaching a mini circle one should indicate their desired direction of travel before entering the circle.
Turning Right
Indicate with the right turn signal before entering the circle so that other traffic is aware of where you want to exit.
Turning Left
Indicate with the left turn signal before entering the circle so that other traffic is aware of where you want to exit.
Proceeding Straight
When proceeding straight it is not necessary to indicate.
