## Key Takeaways
1. **Second Exit Confusion**: The second exit off a roundabout often causes the most confusion among drivers.
2. **Going Straight Ahead with No Road Markings**:
- If there are no road markings indicating which lane to take, it's the left lane for going straight ahead.
- Enter the roundabout in the left lane as usual.
- Always yield to traffic on your right and those already on the roundabout.
3. **The Correct Path**:
- Once you enter the roundabout, be mindful of the path you take.
- Move out and create a lane around the outside.
- Once your shoulder aligns with the first island on your left, signal left and exit.
- Avoid the common mistake of cutting across the Roundabout, this will lead to test failure
4. **Remember**: The correct lane for taking the second exit off a roundabout, when there are no road markings & the exit is straight ahead, is the Left Lane
