You are approaching a roundabout with the signs "roundabout" and "give way". A car is already driving in the roundabout.
The examiner says„Im Kreisverkehr bitte die zweite Ausfahrt.“
"Take the second exit at the roundabout, please."
What you have to show
- Approach slowly, ready to brake
- Give way to traffic in the roundabout
- Look left when entering
- Do not indicate when entering
- Indicate right before the exit
- Watch for cyclists and pedestrians at the exit
The right order
- Approach slowly, ready to brake
- Look left: traffic in the roundabout has priority
- Enter without indicating
- Indicate right before the exit
- Shoulder check right, watch for cyclists and pedestrians
- Leave the roundabout
Typical mistakes
A strong answer
I approach slowly and ready to brake. The give-way sign shows that traffic in the roundabout has priority, so I look left and let the car in the roundabout go. I do not indicate when entering. Before the second exit I indicate right, do a shoulder check and watch for cyclists and pedestrians at the exit.
What the law says
§ 9a (1) StVO: indicating when entering a roundabout is not allowed. With sign 205 the traffic in the roundabout has priority. Leaving is indicated to the right.
Quick check
How do you indicate at a roundabout?
- Left when entering
- Right when entering and at the exit
- Not when entering, right before the exit
