Everyone please take note, the retail park is a RIGHT turn, ergo you need the RIGHT lane. Don't take the middle lane and then drift to the right like the blue Vauxhall at 0:41 - follow the lines.
Worth noting as well that the learner in the video is in the middle lane at 1:00 so they should exit in the right hand lane but at 1:06 they exit in the left hand lane. Don't do that, stick to your lane!
Hi Arthur thanks for your comment. you can change lane as long as its safe to do so and you take effective observation. you can take either lane and its absolutely fine to take the right lane as well provided you built your speed up, however if you stay in the right lane you cause other road users to overtake on the left (which is illegal to overtake on the left).

Worth pointing that out then if the aim is to help people understand how the roundabout works. I use this roundabout every day and believe me confusion about the lanes is rife! Didn't say it isn't legal or allowed to change lanes, just pointing out that they did change lanes (when they didn't actually need to).

Very useful videos
Thanks LDA
Is that lane also used to go to the retail park?
Yes! so many people get that wrong and drift into the middle lane (like the blue Vauxhall at 0:41.
that was very helpful.
