Stop next to it to check traffic

Drive over it if it's small

Keep to the right of it

11 / 25

How does the procedure for turning right in a three-lane roundabout compare to a two-lane one?

It is the same

12 / 25

What crucial decision must be made before entering any roundabout?

How many exits the roundabout has

Which radio station to listen to

Follow the corresponding lane as you leave

14 / 25

Why is signaling to exit particularly important on a three-lane roundabout?

Because traffic is moving faster

Because you may be crossing two lanes of traffic as you leave

Because it is a legal requirement only on three-lane roundabouts

Because the roundabouts are larger

15 / 25

What is the consequence of not staying in the correct painted lane within a roundabout?

You will receive a fine automatically

You risk confusing other drivers

It is the recommended procedure

You will save time

Anti-clockwise

Clockwise

Either direction is acceptable

The direction indicated by the first car

17 / 25

When can you enter a roundabout?

When the vehicle on your right lets you in

Immediately after the car in front of you goes

As you approach the roundabout

Signaling is not required for going straight

After you have passed the first exit

Just as you are about to exit

19 / 25

What is particularly important to check for as you are about to exit any roundabout?

The roundabout exit sign

Vehicles on your right

Vehicles on your left

Pedestrians on the central island

20 / 25

When going straight ahead in a three-lane roundabout, which lanes can you generally choose from?

The left lane or the centre lane

The right lane or the centre lane

Only the left lane

Only the centre lane

21 / 25

When turning left in a two-lane roundabout, which lane must you always approach in?

Any lane is fine if you signal early

The right lane

As soon as you enter the roundabout

25 / 25

What helps a driver know which lane to be in to reach their destination via a roundabout?

Asking a passenger

Your score is

Drivers must know how to select the correct lane before entering, yield to vehicles already inside, and give way to pedestrians at crossings. Signaling intentions—whether exiting or changing lanes within the roundabout—is crucial for safety and communication with other drivers. The test covers rules for multi-lane roundabouts, priority signs, and speed control. Mastery of these concepts helps prevent accidents and ensures smooth traffic flow. Successfully answering roundabout questions is essential for passing the theory test and becoming a responsible driver in Dubai.
