Did you know half of the world's roundabouts are in France! over 30,000 of them! Do you like Roundabouts? 🧐
love em
😱😱😱😱
Best invention on roads. Don't like waiting at stop lights when the roads are empty, feels like a stupid thing. Also less chance for a nuts to crash into you because driving on red/yellow light. And less traffic congestion.
No especially big ones
I love roundabouts there great for getting my knee down.
Hey passed my test 1st time 3 days ago the night before i watched your show me tell me video (a few times because couldnt sleep) and some of the recent manoeuvres vids for reference points. i've watched other vids but yours seem to be easier to remember/ understand you do a great job of getting information across for me anyway ! so i was a lot less nervous so thankyou !!
Brilliant you explained so smooth and clear and great video to understand . Thanks
I'm currently working on getting more confident at roundabouts. This and manoveres are my worst enemies at the moment 😂 thanks for the video 😊
First video I've come across that talks about 'body language' of the vehicle. Others talk about 'road positioning' but I think referring to it as 'body language' is a great idea!
Thank you👍
Passed my test today. Thank you for your videos man really helped. Remember to stay calm and just be patient
Thanks for all the work on youtube, I passed my driving license today the first time, your videos definitely helped me.
Hi I just wanted to say thank you very much for your videos. My test is on Monday, and I'm really nervous but your videos make so much more sense to me than my instructor does sometimes!🤣 I've been learning to drive since I was 17, I'm 20 this year but stopped having lessons after a car accident, but recently gained the confidence to go out again. Hoping I pass, but if not I'll take the test as some experience and book straight back in! Thank you😃
I am a driving instructor and love yr videos, keep them coming. All the best
Excellent explanation, I have to watch this video multiple times, so helpful. Thanks Francis for all your hard work 💫💫🌹🌹
Thank you for this video. I’ve recently started driving more regularly again after many years of not driving. This video was a really helpful refresher of the rules! Will be looking at the other videos you’ve got too!
Glad it was helpful! If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment and we'll try to help out :)
These videos are amazing, the best explanation with lots of important details! Thanks for making these, very helpful ;-)
Best video on explaining priority in multiple scenarios. Thank you so much!
The way you explain quickly, makes me feel confident and it makes it feel easy,:)
5:35 you should be able to go here. If the car ahead does what it is supposed to do, i.e. go around the centre, you would have enough time to cross it safely. The issue is that people cut corners all the time.
Many thanks sir 🙏🏾
The Black belt barrister sent me! He’s right your videos are great! Thanks
Good video but there were cars Infront of you turning right and went over the roundabout but you never mentioned it being an incorrect manoeuvre by them? You had right and not them... @ 5:47 how is that ok for those two drivers to do that?
Yeah exactly lmao
Another insightful and helpful video, thanks.
Love love love helps so much, cus it even shows how you signaling, clever way of making video, followed! : )
Good to have a refresh from time to time great clear video as always
It's very clear and straightforward, many thanks for the help 👏👏👏👌👌
Awesome vlog ❤......keep them coming
Thanking very much brother and I real appreciates all your videos.
Thank you for your videos they're very helpful 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you Francis, with the help of watching your video on roundabouts I am less afraid of them 😀
You really help me a lot very clear when you explaining👍👍
watching this the day before my test thank you so much !
Fantastic video!!
Great videos very helpful to me.
love your videos bro
Another very good lesson!
This is very helpful, thanks so much
Really helpful thanks! 🙂
This was helpful, thanks
Thank you so much your lesson, for me it is easy to understanding
Training for my Part 3 - really helpful lessons even for me..Thankyou
Perfect! Thank you so much :)
Excellent
Glad you found it useful!
Great tutorial
Brilliantly executed
🙌
Incredibly nice well explained bro
Really good!! Thanks
This is very simplistic. There are other mini roundabouts where the car turning right will have to stop. Many people think once they are turning right and have indicated to do so at a mini-roundabout, they have priority of passage. WRONG. At some mini-round abouts the one turning right has got a give way sign and the road marking on the approach on their lane has two lines. That means what it indicates on their approach that they should rather give way. There are two signs 1) give way sign 2) on the ground there are two parallel lines but they think so far as they are turning right they have priority of passage. Another video should be uploaded to show this typ of mini roundabout
Honestly don't know how I passed lol 12 years of driving and didn't know you gave way to cars straight ahead that are turning right. Allways thought it was just cars directly to my right.
ThNk you so much sir your Video is very easy for understanding 🥰😇
Clearly very few have watched this video . . . Or if they have, they have not understood the advice.
Mini roundabouts are a distinct danger because many drivers will simply not give priority to cars approaching from the right - I came close to a collision on my way home this evening because of this very problem . . . I really do think you should include this on your video . .
WHEN APPROACHING A MINI ROUNDABOUT TAKE EXTRA CARE TO BE READY FOR AN EMERGENCY STOP AND/OR AVOIDING ACTION . . .
At 5:40 in the video you said you must give way because they're coming from your right. But you're also their right?
If you both entered the roundabout and then they indicated whilst on the roundabout to come acorss you and you had to swerve away from them as for them not to hit into you who would be in the right?
Very helpful
Yes Thank you soo much i am on my 3rd lesson on mini roundabouts my lesson is today
Thank you 😊
Thankyou!!!
This lesson makes mini roundabouts easier
Thanks
Thanks helpful
Helpful
Woauuuu thanks.
Very helpful thanks, I’ll be having my part 3 test in a few weeks now and I’m planning to pick mini roundabouts as the subject. Any thoughts would help.
Thanks
3:15 good point as i just did it wrong today lol thanks for the video
Hey great video, at 5:42 who would have priority if we were both turning to our rights?
3:30. Yesterday. Couple roundabouts in a row. Mini roundabout a facing driver arriving mini at same time decided bang on right indicator well onto mini r. Leaving me to brake. I’d have defensively slowed on approach. Badly timed. Happened again less than 1 minute up road full roundabout. No right turn until passing straight over by driving facing me.
Very sorry when you were going straight at the roundabout did you put your signal on please?
👍👍👍
I need advise on roundabout that are smaller for oncoming vehicle that signals and turns at the same time.
What if you are both approaching at same time from opposite sides of a 4 way roundabout, you're turning left, they're turning right. In this scenario aren't you both on each others right and it reverts to left turn has priority?
Hey one question, can I do u-turn on mini roundabouts?
Please explain at 5:47 when the cars drove did they cut or is that acceptable.
Yh that’s extremely unacceptable, Some drivers would go onto the roundabout thinking you will go around the isle, giving them enough time, but cutting it would cause a collision
5:30 They do not turn in accordance with the rules in The Highway Code and if one did this on a Driving Test you would incur a fault, possibly serious fault depending on circumstances. In this example we have already stopped and they can see we are giving way to them. Pragmatically it works provided they are aware about any other road users which may be a problem. There is a requirement on the rule to go around the roundabout and as a general minimum your front wheels should do this. A subsection to the rule deals with large vehicles such as big lorries which might legitimately drive straight over the island because of their massive size. When cars do this typically it is more about their speed which is not a correct interpretation of the rules.

Francis do you need to indicate left when exiting a roundabout if you are going right on a mini roundabout?
The Lexus at 5:33 and the van at 5:44 are at the same distance from the roundabout yet the instructor chooses to stop for the Lexus (even though the car had momentum) yet proceed when the van is approaching (even though the car was at a stand still).
This goes on to prove that on 1st instance he made the stop on purpose in order to exemplify a situation (how it's done by the book) whereas on the 2nd instance shows his actual instinct as a driver (he fructified a gap in traffic like everyone would do - look at the cue of cars behind the van).
A beginner driver should give themselves more time on approach in order to assess the situation whereas an experienced driver should be able to take that turn given the circumstances on the first go. The Lexus coming from the front had just as much time to pass the roundabout as the van did.
We have a mini roundabout at the top of our road the turning for the road is just before the roundabout . To turn right into the road do I have to go all around the roundabout or can I indicate and turn right before I get to it?
Hi Frances. Nice tips and advice helpful thank you. I have a question please. My problem is it big roundabouts I can't work out the imaginary Lane were the markings in the roundabouts are faded. I keep going bit on my right. I can't work out the imaginary line. What and how do I figure that out please.
There's a video on the way about big roundabouts! Stay tuned 😊
Can you clear something up for me please.
In this video you had a Volvo estate cut across the roundabout from your left as you were approaching.
Is the rule that you give way to the right IF the vehicle is at the roundabout or IF they are approaching the roundabout.
Reason that I ask is that near where I live there is one particular roundabout and people do go straight over it at ridiculous speeds despite the speed limit being 20mph as the road goes past a school. If approaching from the leg where you turn left or right you do take your life in your hands.
Grid Ref : 53.520163, -2.667684 in Winstanley, Wigan.
Cheers.
Fab video. As a cyclist and an ADi PT2 I’m confused on cycling rules roundabouts. Holding both hands means Indictating with hands not always possible. Does this mean rules of indictation don’t apply at all to cyclists , or ????
What’s the rule with pedestrians walking into the road while I’m turning into a junction for example? Should I give way?
3:40 If you both reach the give way line at the same time - carry on. If the car turning right goes properly round the roundabout, there is room for them. Many cut over the centre which is wrong then find themselves held up by the other car.
As you demonstrate working at 4:04 LOL
On four exit mini-roundabouts where two drivers turning right arrive at the same from opposite directions I think it is sensible for learners to time their approach such that the other car has come round more and give way to them. Whilst it is possible for both cars to proceed safely and complete their respective turns this is only possible is both cars arrive simultaneously, go round the roundabout at similar speeds and neither car cuts across the island. You have no control on the other car and if a near collision occurs on test, how do you think the examiner will mark the incident?
@@keith6400 Fair comment re learners. Knowing that instructors struggle with mini roundabouts, I suspect examiners do to. However, if there is an 'incident' and the learner is not at fault, the examiner should realise this and mark accordingly.
@@keith6400 I would like to see examiners' names on licences - so that records of bad driving can be kept for each examiner.
Should a candidate have passed their test only to kill themselves a matter of months later (+a friend + badly injure another friend and the other motorist they hit) ?
@@millomweb Where I live mini-roundabouts exist very similar to the examples given in the video. These are very straight-forward easy to understand and deal with junctions. The difficult ones are on our urban main city through routes. The problems with these are more to do with there being up to three lanes on approach and queues of traffic waiting to join at each exit. It is not generally possible to negotiate these safely unless you understand about "blockers" and knowing about legitimate "shielding" will help too. I personally think the term give way to traffic coming from the right is inadequate because oncoming traffic can confuse people thinking this way, "is it coming from the right or not?". I like to think; give way to "Vehicles coming from the right which are going to pass across the front of you". This clarifies oncoming traffic and splits it into two groups with different relevance.
@@keith6400 You give way only to traffic on the roundabout. Knowing whether traffic is going to pass in front of you OR not is often not clear due to poor signalling by other drivers ! If they don't signal and stay on the roundabout and you collide with them, it's your fault. "Coming from the right" is very poorly understood. "Give way to traffic on the roundabout" is what is actually meant. MIni roundabouts are a bit of a fail on busy roads. 3 lane approaches also sound like a nightmare. I don't think a mini roundabout should have more than 2 lanes, IF THAT ! There is no need for the left lane to be part of the roundabout - it should just lead to the first exit only. Maybe that'd help a little.
Thanks. Raised upto 125mm 1 metre to 4 metre. Must be white paint. Cannot be block paving. Went on a 53 page govt source as these throw me even now and I’m at PDi PT3 start. I know. Brain mush with lockdown. Mini and full aren’t always easy tell difference with hidden or missing blue signs
Please can a driver go round the mini round about and exit?
Note: I did not mean turning left or right or straight ahead.
The oncoming cars turning right in 5:48, cross on the white circle, will it a fault in drving test? thx
Yes
If there’s a car ahead and and a car on the right and the car ahead is turning right do you have to let both cars go first before you go? Hope that makes sense 😂
Does London have many roundabouts, compared to Swindon?
On a three lane mini roundabout, do I need to signal left if my first exit is straight?
I assume you mean three exit mini-roundabout. Quite often these are converted from a side road on the right. Your approach most likely will be on two lane section but there might be just one lane. I think the official view is that it is not generally required but signalling could be helpful to another road user. So depending on circumstances it may be a good idea. If you were on a one lane approach the oncoming traffic might be unsure if giving way was required and a signal from you might resolve this as you could be a non-signalling right turner.
correct me if i’m wrong but didn’t you have priority at 5:35 ?
7:59 confuses me why does the the driver have priority here
Passed today without instructor
8:07
But they were approaching you from your right. That's one rule about roundabouts that always confuses me.
They are not approaching us as they are turning left from the roundabout. Whereas we are approaching to their right so they should stop and we have the priority.
Did you see their left indicator on? That means that they were NOT approaching us from our right as they were leaving the roundabout early and not coming anywhere near our right side.
If they had their RIGHT indicator on then they WOULD have then approached us from our right.
Think about where they are going and how that interacts with your position.
3:41 Why do you have to stop for a car ahead going right?
If you were going left, then you could do that by the time they get to you
If you were going straight, then you could do that by the time they get to you
If you were going right too, then you could pass each other no problem. So I don't see why you have to give way to cars ahead that are turning right. Please clarify why I may be wrong
I think if you are able to safely go without affecting the other driver, as he did with the van then that’s fine. If you both reach the roundabout at the same time, then you should give way if the car ahead is turning right. Sometimes you might think you have enough time to go but you can’t predict the speed at which the oncoming driver will approach the roundabout, so I think it’s safer to give way.
No link for Junctions lesson
Ah was wondering what u do if you go forward ah ok thanks!
I was wondering if you can do a video on reversing cause I struggle to look back and focus on the steering while going back
Just reversing in a straight line or reversing on one of the manouvers?
In not even ten mins you explained more then my instructor did in an hr
3:40... - "not just cars on our right that we have to consider giving way - yes it is. The roundabout is a circular road and you should give way to all vehicles on it.
🚗💚
Lol 5:38 - the two oncoming cars not even bothering to go anywhere near actually ROUND the roundabout...
I keep getting confused between mini and normal roundabouts!
You don’t explain what happens if all four cars arrive at the same time?
5:38 they dont even try to go around? :D
I don't see any difference between scenarios at 3:40 and 4:00. The extra car is irrelevant. The red car can go in both scenarios given that it is quick enough to get out of the way of the car inside of the roundabout.
Those cars that turned right went through the roundabout. That’s a failure in the test isn’t it?
i got a SERIOUS fault for doing as these two cars did at 7:41, i thought it would've been a minor
