Quite hard NOT to turn right for most of the time you are on the roundabout. Turn left to join, left to depart but right to actually use the roundabout.

Only on the CTC forums, folks.

You can't make a right turn on a roundabout.

I turn right at spot r/abouts regularly if it helps other road users and particularly if it's wet and there's an adverse camber should I ride around the spot.There are certain conditions when I won't,especially if there's traffic entering the r/about from my right when I'm already on it who may be expecting me to go around the spot.
Taking the 'short cut' isn't wise in those situations.
On proper curbed r/abouts it'd be stupidly suicidal of course.
BTW Spot r/abouts are a personal hate of mine and IMO ill conceived and much misunderstood by drivers.
They should all be raised tabulated junctions that slows traffic to walking pace,where no one has priority other than pedestrians.
That way straight on traffic is forced to slow to <10mph instead of 'booting it' to beat other traffic through the junction.

It's a system with five mini roundabouts surrounding an anticlockwise centre. I think it's an excellent system.
Came in from the west, and out to the south
