I did that the other day and ended up missing the lights (that were on the roundabout) and was half way over the crossing on the roundabout, felt like a right idiot tbh because obviously I couldn't move since the lights then went red
I passed my test yesterday after failing 7 times.It was so frustrating and sometimes I underestimate myself and thought like I was not born to drive.#don’tgiveup
Paynos Hello. If you haven't could you do a video about moving off with gas. I think like myself a lot of people learnt in diesel cars and probably were taught that to move off they just need to release the clutch. Which can lead to a disaster when you switch to a petrol. Thanks for your time. Bye.
It’s the big ones with road markings and traffic lights that confuse me & having to change lanes sometimes 😖 for example the fifth exit, I know to be on the far right of the roundabout but then knowing when to gradually get into the left to exit that’s what makes me panicky!
Alexandra N you would just move into the left lane when youve past the last exit...so then you are ready to exit onto your lane. So for example, if you were to exit on the 5th exit, you would stay on the right until you've just passed the 4th exit and move left
Kick BoomUK that’s true! But typically there’s like 3-4 lanes so it’s like you’d have to move to the left lane gradually as you pass each exit to be able to get out safely without disturbing traffic if you see what I mean.
thanks man the tip of which way the wheels are pointing is super helpful! i sometimes take too long joining the roundabout because i'm not sure if someone is going to come whizzing all the way around or not
A word of advice from my grand parents (who are both driving instructors) for getting on the roundabout is "If their bonnets arnt aimed at you, you're ok"
thank you so much!, will refer to this before my next lesson, and hopefully do much better/faster at taking gaps at roundabouts now, have been looking for a video like this for ages. I really appreciate this!.
On a damp roundabout, pulling the handbrake on to put the car sideways, then using the throttle and left foot braking, to keep the car sideways all the way around, is enormous fun!
Tony A, yes, especially on a rear wheel drive car, Ford 2.8 Granada, BMW 732i, Jaguar S type 3.0, then a load of Subaru's (AWD). If the Americans knew what fun was to be had on a roundabout, America would be awash with them.....
I'm from New Zealand and we also drive on the left here and I've noticed that with your roundabouts if they're big you have traffic lights controlling the traffic whereas over here we just have give way signs; most likely because we don't have as many people as you guys do in the UK
I'm 53 and I passed my test 30 years ago but haven't driven since. I'm now taking lessons again (obviously I don't have to take my test again), and I have just come home from my 7th lesson. Tonight we did more roundabouts - I find them tricky - but my instructor took me on a dual carriageway and just let me drive. It was exhilarating and terrifying in equal measure, but I feel so proud of myself. Driving may come naturally to some people, but I don't think I will ever be one of them. It's getting better and I will persevere because if I don't do it now I'll never do it, but I don't think I will ever be a 'natural' driver.
Some good points here BUT I can’t believe that in a 6-minute video about using roundabouts you never once mentioned the use of indicators! This is absolutely key to letting everyone else know what you are doing. I have a theory that most driving instructors teach people to use indicators just to get through the test - then they don’t matter any more! It’s particularly difficult when driving large vehicles to have to keep guessing what exits folk are liable to take. There is a crystal-clear correct formula for how to use indicators on roundabouts - people just need to learn it and do it!! Oh and don’t let the steering wheel spin freely through your hands or knock your car into neutral before arriving at the roundabout (as on your video)!!
yeah, especially since roundabouts usually have at least 3-4 exits depending on how they're designed on roads and the indicators are VERY important because it can annoy other drivers on the roundabouts; I would know this since I've seen drivers make a left turn at a roundabout without having their indicators signaling that they're turning left and I am a learner driver myself and I use my indicators all the time at roundabouts
Not to criticise but it seemed like in continuous driving you took the roundabouts incredibly fast...i dunno it may just be me as a learner driver still not being used to the correct exit speeds but it seemed fast.
I took my cat B (car) test a year and a half ago and I have my cat C (rigid lorry) driving test coming up in a weeks time and I can say that I think he was going too fast too. Definitely too fast for driving test standards.
On the roundabouts, you have a specific driving rule. You always turn left, regardless of the exit number. Using the indicator signifies your intention of changing lanes or driving direction (in the UK, it is always straight or left, never right, (in continental Europe, it is the other way round). You always have a priority on the roundabout (unless the signage states differently), and anyone who wants to join should give you a way. Using or not using a left indicator helps them know whether you are driving through the roundabout to the next exit or leaving the roundabout on the nearest exit (Driving on a roundabout is driving on an infinite curve, and if you want, you can stay on it forever, unless you ran out of fuel). At the last thing, before the roundabout, there is always a blue sign with a white arrow stating, "Turn Left".
I love the old seat interior for some reason. Getting first car soon and was gna get a newish hatch with shitty engine but new tech but ive now flipped and want that authentic car feel with no touchscreens and just a wheel with pedals and a radio. Lovely steering wheel
2:43 I always do this before and sometimes the other drivers honk at me. Since that I felt that there must something wrong my driving ethic. 2:48 thanks for showing us the right way to drive on a roundabout.
PAYNOS On mini roundabouts the highway code still applies. Unless ur vehicle is physically incapable of doing so you MUST go around the roundabout. Encouraging learners to cut a mini roundabout is not going to help. Learners have to go by the standards set in the highway code. It is not just about driving but about passing the test. The two can be 2 different things.
Drive on the right most lane if you exiting roundabout after second exit and use your flash indicator , I have seen drivers don’t use indicators and slow down others for taking decision while driving .
@@mag9604 I've been honked at haha The whole first month, I had a ratio of 1 roundabout out of 3 at which I'd get honked at (those with more than 2 lanes) Then I started looking at the road's number on the gps instead of looking at the destination, and it was truly helpful since the road number is always written on the ground, in each lane So my only advice (if you drive with a GPS) : pay attention to the road (motorway, national road etc) you have to go to, and then it'll be easy
@@mag9604 can't help you much, I have learned driving in France and the rules are pretty simple for us: If you take the first or second exist you stay on the right lane and if you take 3rd or further you stay on the left and switch to the right before exiting
Keep up your videos, they're great. I'm really enjoying your content. Are you going to do a video in future telling us how you've passed your theory and practical driving tests?
As an American and driven in Britain roundabouts were a horrifying thing at 1st, then they became fun, and made sense, wish we had more in America, beats getting off a the wrong intersection and then having to work out how to get back on route. But you need to do a Video on trying to find a parking space in Britain, that was much much more of a challenge, at times made me wish I took a taxi or bus.
THATS IT! My theory never told me that left lane is normally for left or straight, and since I came from a Central Eu country (Hungary, left hand drive) where ther are no small roundabouts and roundabouts are usually big and minimum 2 lanes, driving first time in the UK was so stressful, not because of the right side but because of the ridiculous amout of roundabouts... Thx for the clarification!
Roundabouts rely on everyone driving on it to be following the rules. We know that this isn't the case and half of the people at any given time are either not using their indicators or are nonchalantly switching lanes without checking. If the 3rd exit of a 4 exit roundabout is the toughest exit to get right, the key is to know when you need to change from the inside right lane to the outer left lane. Too early, and you will cut off other drivers on your left OR you will give the implication that you are going to cut the lane and take the 2nd exit. You must indicate your intention to move to the outer left lane which means you must turn off your right indicator and switch on your left indicator just after passing the 1st exit. Check your blind spot and then move into that lane, while passing the 2nd exit. This way, even if you are maneuvering around other drivers, you reduce the likelihood of other drivers getting confused as to what you're doing. Unfortunately, it's impossible to remove all confusion for other drivers and you will need to pray that you have an easy roundabout on your test.
I’ve just had a few lessons but I’m starting to oversteer when it comes to turning right. Does anyone have any tips for how much to steer when turning right?
roundabout is my weakness! I dont know why but i find it so hard to learn and every time i am approaching i start shaking and get so confused 😢( 😌😌😌hopefully i get used to it before the practical exam:(
I would never clear a busy roundabout on gear 3 mind it! You could get a major if gone fast on gear 3 on a 4 exit roundabout with traffic. Just reduce your speed change to gear 2 and clear it, put it in gear 3 just before you take exit so that you get got control of car.
Good video and very good points raised but I teach people to move over to the outside/left lane just after they've passed the exit before the one they want. This makes it a lot clearer to other drivers that are joining the roundabout, where you're going. Plus it's then less likely someone will start pulling out to go left when you're coming round turning right and taking the same exit as they might think you're continuing to go round the roundabout. For those reasons I disagree with the diagram that is shown to be correct. Regards
I've just moved to braintree and so many of the roundabouts aren't marked properly.. there's a few where you have to use the right lane to take the second exit straight over then the next one (also unmarked will be a normal one) 😅
3:40 People can swerve and change their mind though. It happened to me and I nearly crossed in front. So I decide to wait patiently until the traffic clears or is completely safe to continue
Baffles me how many people dont understand roundabouts. Ive had so many near misses with people pulling out when they should give way to the right. And people who use the right hand lane for straight over. Dont even get me started on people that dont indicate right and then shout at you for pulling out because it looks like they're going straight and not right round. Or the knobs that go all the way round without indicating then only indicate when they get to the exit they want.
Im so good on the larger ones, but when it comes to the small ones in town I always give way to people, my driving instructor is always saying, why are you giving way to the left!
you should mention the 2 greatest hazards in this country: - idiots are cutting/straightening lines regardless of the traffic - even more dangerous idiots, in a 3 line roundabout will try to use the inner line to overtake and cut in front of you, even if they can't speed up enough...
Add one more tip: cars in the roundabout have right of way; cars entering should wait. Except in some countries (Russia) it's the opposite. Now go out there and win!
Question: On a busy triple-lane roundabout, you want to turn right, 4th exit. So you enter the third innermost lane (as indicated by signs). How on earth are you supposed to cut across two lanes of traffic safely to exit? Especially when some of the cars in those lanes will be taking the same exit as you?
just indicate right and move over, more importantly check your blind spot as you do so to make sure there's no car beside you when you do a lane change and if you're turning right; keep the right indicator blinking so the cars know what direction you're going to
Hi, can you please try to do a video about pulling up correctly by the kerb easily and how to use reference points for that purpose, because I either park the car away from the kerb or sometimes touch the kerb, thank you very much
I’m from Milton Keynes currently taking lessons and I just can’t get the handle of these roundabouts. I get nervous and just can’t get my gears changed in time!
good tips...i try to maintain my lane and not swtich until i have to exit, i keep to the left lanes when taking the first or second exit,but i keep finding some drivers keep hooting at me, i keep wondering if its bad driving or its me
So if you are going to say the second or third exit in a roundabout you should go to the inside lane of it, how do you do this, do you have to swap lanes and when exiting will you have to swap lanes?
Just had a lesson today where I was approaching a two lane mini roundabout. Essentially, there I had to go over the Center bump when turning right on the roundabout because I had a car to my left going straight on. Trying to go around the bump would have resulted in a collision. It definitely isn’t always safe to drive completely around a mini roundabout it seems. Depends on who is around you I think!
Every time I approach a roundabout my brain stops working
hope i dont meet you on a roundabout

Muti-lane roundabouts (three or four lanes) are better know as interchanges.

Make sure that you only use 'FIRST or SECOND GEAR' every time you enter a roundabout. Using third gear might cause you a fail on the test!
Thanks for the tips
Could you do a video where there is more then 4 exits and which lanes you should be in?
I always enter and exit roundabouts in 4th gear with my fist pressed firmly on the horn. Works like a charm
Im so good on the larger ones, but when it comes to the small ones in town I always give way to people, my driving instructor is always saying, why are you giving way to the left!
You can use the inside lane to turn right
you should mention the 2 greatest hazards in this country:
- idiots are cutting/straightening lines regardless of the traffic
- even more dangerous idiots, in a 3 line roundabout will try to use the inner line to overtake and cut in front of you, even if they can't speed up enough...
Give way to the right and look where you are going.
Add one more tip: cars in the roundabout have right of way; cars entering should wait. Except in some countries (Russia) it's the opposite. Now go out there and win!

Could you do a video explaining the pass plus course.
I'll look into getting one sorted man! :)
Nice helpful. Thank u very much
I find the massive multilane ones on motorways, especially if they have or more lanes
Question: On a busy triple-lane roundabout, you want to turn right, 4th exit. So you enter the third innermost lane (as indicated by signs). How on earth are you supposed to cut across two lanes of traffic safely to exit? Especially when some of the cars in those lanes will be taking the same exit as you?
just indicate right and move over, more importantly check your blind spot as you do so to make sure there's no car beside you when you do a lane change and if you're turning right; keep the right indicator blinking so the cars know what direction you're going to
At 2:24 you let the wheel spin through your hands - is that allowed?
Hi, can you please try to do a video about pulling up correctly by the kerb easily and how to use reference points for that purpose, because I either park the car away from the kerb or sometimes touch the kerb,
thank you very much
I’m from Milton Keynes currently taking lessons and I just can’t get the handle of these roundabouts. I get nervous and just can’t get my gears changed in time!
good tips...i try to maintain my lane and not swtich until i have to exit, i keep to the left lanes when taking the first or second exit,but i keep finding some drivers keep hooting at me, i keep wondering if its bad driving or its me
You can go right hand lane if your going straight if you come of on a road wiych has 2 lanes
You're going to save my life when I get my car at the end of the month lol
So if you are going to say the second or third exit in a roundabout you should go to the inside lane of it, how do you do this, do you have to swap lanes and when exiting will you have to swap lanes?
In and around the lake.... Mountains come out of the sky and they *STAND* there
As a german person, seeing them turn to the left instead of the right when reaching the roundabout gives me anxiety 😂
Just had a lesson today where I was approaching a two lane mini roundabout. Essentially, there I had to go over the Center bump when turning right on the roundabout because I had a car to my left going straight on. Trying to go around the bump would have resulted in a collision.
It definitely isn’t always safe to drive completely around a mini roundabout it seems. Depends on who is around you I think!
