If I've understood Frozen Up's explanation - there should be no overtaking by vehicles in the left hand lane on a roundabout.

Drivers should be in the right hand lane all the way, regardless if leaving right (1st exit),going straight ahead (2nd exit) or exiting left (3rd exit) on a "standard" 4 exits roundabout.

The same perhaps (not really sure), if doing a complete 360 degree (4th exit) to go back they way you've just come from ?

Happy to be corrected.

If that's accurate, then the only accident waiting to happen would when drivers do not adhere to the Spanish rules of the road - ie, Brits who are ignorant of the different procedures.

You can use the left lane if there is traffic in the right lane. However you must move into the right lane in advance of reaching your exit so that you can leave the roundabout from the right lane. If you can't get into the right lane in time then you will need to go around again.

Thanks, that's clear enough.

Mind you, I think I would be sticking to the right hand lane regardless of which exit was on the agenda !!!
