There is a general need to keep up with the flow of traffic, and no better example of this on your intensive driving course in Peterborough than when you are on dual carraigeways or "Parkways" as they are locally named; there are times when you will need to "go go go"!
This video here is one such example. It shows that whilst it is perfectly acceptable to approach "Eye roundabout" in Peterborough in the furthest most right lane, it will mean that you will need to exit in the furthest most right lane, and that is the lane that typically, the faster moving vehicles gravitate towards.
It's not technically an issue to be exiting in the furthest most right lanes of multi-lane roundabouts but you should try to avoid it if you are driving in a vehicle that has limited power/ability to keep up with these higher speeds or you, as the driver, do not like driving at that faster pace. Remember, no-one is forcing you to use that faster moving lane, and as such you are able to plan in to your approaches on multi-lane roundabouts, the lane selection that will be more comfortable to your driving tempo.
Seeing a vehicle travelling in the outer lanes of dual-carraigeways physically obstructing vehicles behind it by not keeping up with the flow of traffic is not good. Generally speaking, other drivers expect you to either "go go go" or move over and let them do exactly that. I must emphasise that I am not encouraging speeding here, I'm not advocating travelling over the speed limits, but there is a need to be considerate towards other road users.
Hope this blog helps you appreciate the importance of knowing you need to keep up with the flow of traffic when on dual carriageways on your intensive driving course in Peterborough.
