I definitely read that somewhere and i also got a ticket when I tried it at the Tyne tunnel years ago ( must have been about 2003/2004.  Although i cant seem to find it on the net.  I would say though Adrian if you were driving and the lane on your right was right turn only but someone overtook you causing to to break because they fancied going straight on you wouldn't think the was ok???  The lane the bus was clear marked right turn retail park. the bus ended up not only stopping on the roundabout almost causing a crash but went to the metro centre which is clearly marked as the inside lane.

So is it in the Highway Code or not, Rob? You can't seem to find reference of it, and nor can I.

BIB: That's not what they're doing by slingshotting a roundabout. Your example is cutting someone up, by using a lane not for it's intended direction. Slingshotting follows the lanes on a roundabout as allocated, but merely annoys other motorists who see it as queue jumping.
