Which lane on big roundabouts? Driving instructor tries to follow the signs.

Going the wrong way or getting in the wrong lane is inevitable when you don't know the area. Watch how I deal with navigating large complex junctions using only signs and road markings without a sat nav. See how I choose the lane I need and how I deal with being in the wrong lane.

Appreciate how you still help learners and experienced drivers alike, even though you're busy running errands for your mate's wedding.

[JesusIsLord]

There's no way I could drive in unfamiliar places. I panicked just watching this 😂

[takyiyakvsi]

I don't know why, but I like your random videos. Something about you just makes me feel at ease when I watch you drive and talk everything trough.

[Nevexo]

I like to go around complicated junctions with Streetview before driving them, but still so easy to get in the wrong place with the awful markings that we've got around here. Love the figaro, can't say I'd want to drive one on the motorway though :P

[AkinpeluMaxwellskills]

Finally, I have heard you say what worries me most, which is that the signs on the roads come late and are too close to when drivers need to make decisions. I believe without a sat nav, most drivers will go the wrong way several times before correcting themselves on a new road.

[oscarshen]

I have to say the road signs and marking are terrible in UK, which makes driving unnecessarily difficult. When you see the signs and matkings you have about 2 seconds to react or change lane. They should be big, over your head, and early.

[mimishkaz]

I would have freaked out at 1:46. These videos help me so much just by being able to watch what an experienced driver does.

[GoodKingMort]

Loved this video! Sort of felt like a Top Gear episode in that you were on an adventure (if you can call trying to find a motorway an adventure 😁)

[ClearviewDriving]

Aww nice fancy car! And I see you’re in London for this video
Great to see it:)

[Chopperdriver]

Also remember if the road sign shows the motorway or road in brackets, it means it “leads to” the road in brackets.

[TheFullswordslord]

As a person from a country with (usually) single-lane roundabouts where you just indicate when you exit, the layout of UK roundabouts is so baffling to me. I understand why so many people struggle with it. I'm not even sure I'd manage myself as someone with ample driving experience...

Amazing video once again, Rich! Hope to see that car you're driving in back on the channel :)

[natsprat]

Really enjoyed this video mate, thank you for the quality content as always.

[semantixthasorcera]

Great video! I started watching your videos just over a month ago when I started my driving lessons and they help a lot!
I loved this one as it was mainly just watching you drive and me putting myself into that situation as if it's me driving, which was good visual practice after finishing my actual lesson. 👍

[Ankur_Misra]

You are the best, man. You have educated me so much about driving. So clear, such a neat presentation - every single time. I usually suck at roundabouts and I get so confused. :-(, but seeing your videos, I am improving.

[davidwelham]

Richard, so good to hear an experience driver say this very helpful to me.

[Lara-iict]

Very useful video, with good reflections on situations for a driver that usually skips motorways,

[valleriemuckoya]

This was brilliant Richard, I have learnt how to read lanes on the signs, and not only the name of where you are going... have learnt a lot.

[lindsaylovelock]

Brilliant video, so helpful and it does look easy, as long as the signs are there.

[nataliamason]

You are a true enthusiast of driving! I find it most helpful, you point out mistakes or concerns that I realised I have because of you. When learning with the driving instructor, pupils often cannot explain what they need to practice more, or they simply don't know, they're doing something wrong! I am watching your videos since I discovered you on YouTube, and they help me in my everyday driving! Please keep posting the videos! You do such an amazing job! Also I have to mention the way you speak, is perfect, very clear and understandable! I think everyone who is trying to do similar job with posting how to driving videos, should have you as an example! The sound is great, and I can hear all clear, including the car sounds😀.

Nice Figaro! Been driving for years but still watch your videos just to learn and reflect as from time to time I felt myself or the others could've done better when driving. Now the car bit for a car enthusiast like me is just a bonus!
