Rule
Signalling
Indicate right as you leave the roundabout, one exit before your own. Use an indicator on the way in only if you're clearly positioned in the left lane for a late exit. The official Swedish rule: signal out, not in.

Entering, positioning and exiting roundabouts
You will learn, among other things:
Entering a Roundabout
When entering a roundabout, you must give way to vehicles already inside. Slow down before you reach it — don't brake inside the circle. Choose your lane early and stay in it.
Choosing a Lane
In a small single-lane roundabout, there's one lane to use. In a larger roundabout, your exit decides: right lane for the first exit, left lane to go further round. Signs at the entry tell you which — read them before you turn in.
Heads up
Inside the Circle, You Have Priority
Once you're inside the roundabout, you have priority over everyone wanting to enter. Don't stop to be 'polite' to a driver at an entry — it confuses and creates a crash risk.
Exam trap
Exam Trap: Switching Lanes Inside the Circle
Most common mistake: switching from the left to the right lane mid-roundabout to make your exit. Illegal and dangerous. If you're in the wrong lane, go round once more and try again.
Scenario
Decision Chain: Entering with Traffic from the Left
You approach a roundabout. A car is already inside, coming from your left. What do you do? Slow down, stop if needed, let it pass. Whoever is inside always has priority — whether they appear on your left or your right.
