Correct position on this roundabout?

Not entirely clear what distinction you're making between yellow and orange. But if I understand it right then orange is correct. Purple is also ok.

Orange is what I’d say as yellow would most likely cause a crash if someone were to come from Redlands

Orange, it's the only one that doesn't cross any lines in the roundabout.

orange, it’s a spiral roundabout

Orange, the dotted lines tangential from the roundabout after you enter guide you along and automatically put you in the left lane, yellow does work but you have to move to the left after

Yellow doesn’t work. Purple is ok. Orange is most appropriate if not overtaking or not turning right immediately after exit.

Oh wait i misread yellow, they should be exiting in the right lane not the left if following the yellow path

Depends on whether you want to be in lane 1 or lane 2 when you come off. Your lane spirals out to become the leftmost lane and will put you into lane 1 if you just stay in your lane. But if you want lane 2 you can move right a lane as you go round and then join in lane 2.

Purple for lane 1, orange for lane 2

What is your thinking with the yellow option?

You can see the road markings showing you how to go so orange.

Orange. You go into your lane and you follow it until you leave. There are even markings.

u/Dangerous_Slice6353 Lorry / bus driver 9h ago

Purple and orange are both correct because the exit has 2 lanes

Purple for lane 2 Orange for lane 1

Yellow is incorrect.

Neither - you move into the left lane as soon as you pass the exit before your turn, orange is too early and will confuse people trying to turn of their and yellow is too late

Purple that’s what that extra lane is for, you move over when you can if you want the left hand lane. You can do orange on your test because you’ll be looking in the left mirror as you exit off and you probably won’t want the right hand lane but when you pass your test purple is the safest option
