Learning How to Use Spiral Roundabouts

Spiral roundabouts - also known as gyratory roundabouts can be challenging especially if you don't know the area. See how Domas (learner driver) tries to use the sat nav, signs and road markings to find his way.

I remember those feelings of paralysis as your instructor asks something about the signs, while your brain is already trying decide whether to concentrate on steering the lane, braking for traffic lights, or changing gear.

The editing in these videos is top-notch. The zooms on the signs, text overlays and continuous view of the mirrors. One screen fitting a huge amount of info for us viewers. Also I'm always so thankful there's no pointless "hey guys welcome to my newest video" intro in these :)

As a U.S. citizen who just got back from driving over 2k miles all over Great Britain, these videos were invaluable, wish I had seen this one first though lol. If it wasn't for my nav system in the rental, I might still be circling some of these :D

[louischapman]

As someone who lives in the country side with none of those roundabouts near by this is a massive help. Passed my test 2 years ago still haven’t been on one of to London tomorrow wish me luck 😂

These types of roads with the multiple lanes, multiple points on signs, and the sudden traffic lights are making me feel overwhelmed just by watching this. There's no way I could process all this information at once while driving. Richard I'm hoping all of your students feel the same way when they're doing this at first!

Ahhh! A spontaneous lesson in parking at the UK's most famous carpark.

Congrats to Domas for passing his test! Your vids have been a great help with learning to drive (passed 2 weeks ago) and I still find your videos really interesting even after passing, even planning on trying some of the more advanced driving techniques you've covered once I get more driving time in. Thank you for the videos and keep them up!

So im finally in the club!!! Thank you so much Conquer Driving for your amazing videos, I passed my driving test yesterday and your videos helped me so much! You're the one youtube instructor i really felt was talking sense in a clear and concise way! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!


Cant believe i finally get to make this post 😂 i kept seeing other people saying that they had passed and i felt like it would never be me lol 🎉🎉🎉

[jamiemaguire]

I passed and have been driving for going on half a year now but still like to watch these videos because you always learn something new.

[joegreen]

Just passed my test today first time with zero faults! Had to come and say thank you for making all the informative content that helped me and many others learn to drive and pass their test. Keep up the good work, I’ll continue to watch while in the passed club. Good luck to all those that have tests coming up too.

There's a lot of information for learners to take in, on busy roundabouts like these! Interesting video, thanks.

[thomasdalton]

You are a brave man taking a student on a motorway without being sure of the route yourself! It makes it a more realistic lesson, but must be stressful for you.

[gojeta]

Ah, my neck of the woods. Been tackling that Harlow roundabout for over 20 years. I still find it tricky.

[MrBOXA]

This looks so bloody confusing. It's like playing chess on the road and I don't have a clue on how to play chess either

[dmac]

It's amazing to think that when you're an experienced driver you know how to 'read' a spiral roundabout, but as a learner there's so much to take in (as well as trying to operate the vehicle itself..)

Today I've passed my driving test first time with only 7 minors (just like my theory test I've passed first time), I have been mainly watching your videos due to you explaining stuff in a nice and easy way, really I want to thank you so much for everything, for these videos as they really help people, on how to stay calm, the rules on the road, advise you give etc, really thank you very much for everything and take care and keep up the amazing work with these videos :D

You are a saviour sir :D

[stefanblois]

I watched this just before my driving lesson as I knew we were going to tackle some similar spiral roundabouts and this really helped me get a great understanding of the way spiral roundabouts work. Thanks Richard !

[loganmorrow]

Hi Richard I passed my test this morning with 2 minors in airdrie, Scotland, and I just want to say a massive thanks for your videos which have been a massive help and confidence booster. All the best for the new year.

[anon]

Domas seems a good driver, and this video was brilliant Richard, passed my test but rarely go out far but going to visit family soon, I completed the pass plus a while back but this was a comfortable refresher thankyou for all the help you give to the Learner/Driving people 🙏
