When to change gear on roundabouts

Roundabouts can be overwhelming when learning to drive, especially in a manual car. A new driver often drives around a roundabout in first gear not knowing when to change gear.

But when is the best time to change gear on a roundabout? If you're struggling with roundabouts on your driving lessons, hopefully, this video will help.

If you're learning to drive, then it's highly recommended that you take driving lessons from a fully qualified driving instructor.

I passed today (Folkestone) 8 minors. One was about gearing on a roundabout. But I'm glad I passed. Particularly watching these Videos! Thank you!!!!+🎉🎉🎉

I think I recognise this roundabout - it’s the one on the ‘mad mile, in Selsdon (there is a BP garage nearby).

Is there anyway you can make a video on how to deal with starting at the bottom of a hill, or how to handle going over speed bumps at a slow speed. Thats very tricky for dealing with the clutch that's not on even surface

In America, you're supposed to cut in ASAP and make the drivers who are inside the roundabout stop for you. That way, you win the roundabout. When you exit, DO NOT SIGNAL. Doing so would only alert other drivers to your intentions...seems kind of French, doesn't it? Yeah. Stay unsafe out there, folks!

Normally I have to go into first to get off the middle grass bit.
