See attached link Highway code roundabouts

The rules changed a few years ago

Personally I'd be in the right hand lane to take the 2nd exit. Take a look on Google street view to give you a better look at the approach - look up Golf Club Lane, Brockworth..

Anyone ever tried the 'magic roundabout' in Swindon?

For me that one is a 'close your eyes and go'' situation every time!!

No it doesn't, it simply gives an example of a car in the right-hane lane intending to turn right, it doesn't state that its wrong to be in that lane if continuing straight on.

If I was approaching on the Red and leaving on the Blue then:
exit is more than 180 degrees round, so right hand lane.

Well in driving test or driving assessment it does.

I'm sorry but you would in no way fail your driving test by entering the roundabout in the right-hand lane to take the 2nd exit, unless directed otherwise by roadsigns.
