UK: Is driving over a mini roundabout against the law?

Many, if not all, drivers have driven over a mini roundabout at some point, most do so regularly, or even all the time, but is this legal to do in the United Kingdom, or is it a criminal offense?

(Cc) Dwayne Hards.

Yes, driving over a mini roundabout is a criminal offense, most vehicles must drive around the mini roundabout, unless they are to large to perform the turn safely, and have no other choice because, according to 'The Highway Code', "All vehicles MUST pass round the central markings, except large vehicles which are physically incapable of doing so."


A mini roundabout MUST be treated as if it were an island in the road, according to #British road traffic laws.
