    Question New round about/Traffic circle law??

    Hiya

    My partner and I are going to sit our restricteds soon in Browns Bay, and I was looking around to find the new law regarding indicating at round abouts, and couldn't find what I was looking for...

    So if anyone can please explain the new law to me that would be great.

    Also, if anyone has done thier restricted in Browns Bay, any tips would be helpful

    Thanks in advance

    You have to indicate the direction you are leaving a roundabout.

    It is that simple. You do not have to indicate as you enter a roundabout if you are going straight through, but you must at least attempt to indicate on exit.

    Example - going straight through a roundabout. Do not indicate as you approach. Indicate left once you are level with the left exit. Don't forget to turn your indicator off. You probably won't be able to comply with the 3 second warning rule, but don't worry about that.

    Good luck!

    Agree, so why do wankers indicate right when they enter a roundabout to go straight ahead, and then not left after they pass the last exit before exiting themselves?!? Even saw a cop doing it the other week.

    Because they just don't understand, plus the public education efforts were nil. Apparently we have an obligation to stay up with Road Code changes without any real requirement to do so. This law has been around since 1999 I think, but only recently became an offence with demerits attached.

    I have the feeling that it might even be older than that. Nothing has changed regarding the rules.

    All you need to know is what Jim mentioned initially.

    Christ, wait until they change the give way rules to "Give way to left turning traffic". I almost got stung by that one in the land of Oz when I first moved over there. And the Aussies were so helpful in pointing out the mistake by judicious use of the horn.

    Scroll down the page. Anyone that can't get the hang of it should have their licence jambed up their arsehole.

    I like your style. You should hang around my local roundabout to catch those fsckers.

    Sweet thank you. I've always indicated when leaving the round about when going straight... and we moved nearly 2 months ago and now I havn't been through a round about for 2 months and just needed to make sure... don't want to fail over something as small as indicating...

    Just another question... can anyone tell me how the Restricted works... do they give you a mic/head set so they can tell you what to do, or do they give you directions and then follow you?

    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Directions and then follow you. They're only brief directions though before you pull over and get the next set.

    Before you leave they will (should) explain the route to you. THen along the way, they will indicate well in advance so you can see in your mirrors, which way you should be going.
    I did mine around the browns bay area, told the guy my mirrors were crap.He explained it well, I knew the roads so there was no problem.

    edit: My guy explained the complete route to me. If you cant handle that many instructions you better be watching for those indicators!

    I get a good view of elbow in mine! On my restricted couldn't see the way he was indicating and took a wrong turn which cut the test in half, he didn't seem to mind.
