Practise right of way →A clear nearest lane may not mean a clear entry
Traffic circulates counter-clockwise. Slow on approach, read the arrows and identify the lane serving your destination before reaching the entry. A lane chosen for convenience can leave you in the wrong path later.
Yield to pedestrians and cyclists as well as vehicles already circulating. The handbook explicitly says to yield to both lanes in a multi-lane layout. Looking only at the nearest lane misses part of the conflict assessment.

Once inside a multi-lane roundabout, the handbook says not to change lanes. Use the right signal as you approach the exit. It also advises against stopping inside; that is a normal-flow instruction, not permission to keep moving into a blocked path or collision.
A large truck may need more room than a car to complete the curve. Do not overtake it or travel beside it inside the roundabout. A painted lane does not make a narrow space beside the truck a safe opportunity to squeeze through.

Original worked cases
The nearest circulating lane looks empty, but a car in the other lane is close enough to create a hazard. The arriving driver still has to yield; the entry check includes both lanes.
A tractor-trailer is moving through the circle. A learner sees an opening beside its trailer and considers passing. The handbook says to leave room and avoid travelling alongside or overtaking the truck.
A driver realizes inside that the chosen lane does not serve the desired exit. Cutting across another lane conflicts with the stay-in-lane instruction. Follow the signed lane path safely and recover the route afterward.
Use the actual markings rather than a universal lane shortcut
The number of lanes and the permitted destinations can differ. Do not memorize a rule that assigns every left turn to a particular entry lane regardless of signs. Read the layout presented in the question and keep the chosen path consistent.
The free right-of-way and marking exercises below reinforce those decisions. These original examples add no official test questions. For practical lessons, use the complete handbook and an authorized instructor or supervisor.
