roundabouts

Is the following correct,-
when approaching a roundabout and you intend to go straight, if the left lane is full you are allowed to use the right one??

one bloke kept flashing at me when i did this last night and overtook him.

at the exits there are 2 lanes which merge into one and some of them are dual carriageways.

I cant see any other reason for there to be 2 lanes at the exits that filter into one other than to allow people to use both lanes for straight??

The roundabouts all have 2 lanes upon approach.

Say for example you are entering the roundabout from exit 0, exit 1 is the first left, exit 2 is straight ahead, exit 3 is right. If you are intending to exit through exit 2 (straight ahead) and are in the right hand lane, what if someone enters the roundabout from exit 1 intending to exit via exit 3 (straight ahead for that person). If the timing is correct you will cut into the track of this person.

If you're going straight ahead, stick to the left unless markings/signs tell you otherwise.

The reason some exits have 2 lanes is because they exit to a dual carraigeway. It would be silly to make the exit one lane wide, only to open up into two lanes immediately.

isnt that why the signal left for is, to tell the person i am getting off?
