Roundabouts | Gears and clutch control

ROUNDABOUTS , GEARS AND CLUTCH CONTROL. Todays driving lesson tutorial we are driving on roundabouts, what gear I recommend you should be using on the approach to the roundabout and what gear you should be in whilst on the roundabout and when to do up to a higher gear after exiting the roundabout. I cover roundabouts on the approach to go left taking the first exit, to go ahead on the roundabout to take the second exit and to go right on the roundabout to take third exit. Whilst approaching the roundabout I check to your right for approaching traffic, for that's who we will give-away to at the roundabout . I cover which mirrors to use on the approach to the roundabout and what mirrors you should be checking whilst on the roundabout and which way to signal, in forming the cars around you what your intentions are.
A well as having a camera pointing ahead at where we are driving, I have a camera pointed at my feet during the video because I want you to see what my feet are up to. So on the approach to roundabout you can see when I come off the gas pedal and cover the brake pedal to start to slow down on the approach. I talk about the clutch pedal and when I am using the clutch pedal and how slow I am lifting the clutch pedal off after changing the gears.

this was EXACTLY the video i needed!! you just repeatedly doing various exits at several roundabouts, downshifting from different speeds and gears whilst talking through it and with cameras at your feet!!! perfect video thank you so much

[valkyrie]

this video was so helpful!! i usually struggle with preparing early so this is very good to learn how to gradually approach a roundabout, as i have my test tommorow!

Not usually one to post comments, but I felt it was really important for me to express my gratitude for this video particularly, as well as your other driving content. One of the final things I needed to nail before my test was my approach to roundabouts - I was approaching too quickly and found it difficult to change to the right gear and make a decision. Watching you helped me tremendously: to understand when to check my mirrors and signal, how and when to slow down, change to 2nd, and then have enough time to make decision about when to stop and when to go. I did about 8 roundabouts on my test and I was able to approach them confidently and comfortably thanks to you. I'm really proud and happy to say I passed first time! Thank you so much

Very useful video for me. Doing my lessons at the moment and always get nervous/struggle approaching the roundabout and also changing gears quickly down to second. This helped a lot. Thanks!

Maybe the best demonstration on roundabouts on YouTube. Just passed but I'm always learning.

[KNI_HT]

Roundabouts, watching for others who don't indicate, finding your time to go, pull away in the right gear, change gear, indicate. Leave.
This video is very helpful to make sense of the above. Change from 1-2 just before the bend, then indicate.

Being in Milton Keynes your students must love having Roundabouts everywhere lol

[amiewestwood]

Thank you so much for this video, one thing I struggle with is just being confident with when I can go and not hesitating and also when to come back down to second, I suppose it’s just practice 😊

[daviddsouza]

Great tips, I love commentary driving

[rubytogoran]

Watching from PNG, thankyou it's helping.

[CourtneyCoulson]

Very helpful, I just got my licence, but I barely encountered roundabouts while learning. Now my work's new office is at the end of a road with about a dozen roundabouts, it's so stressful.

[Helen-gvld]

This was such a detailed and amazing video! Thank you, I actually feel like I can tackle them confidently.

[ym.pf]

Helpful video, very clear just one question as to whether you put the handbrake up when stopping at a roundabout and whether it is necessary

[Chrisallengallery]

Good luck to everyone starting their driving lessons this week.

[kallumstoney]

Very helpful video thank you very much. 😊

[nicke]

Really useful, nice to see Willen Lake on a sunny day 😁

[madeleinemagdidavid]

When you change down to 2nd gear are you bringing up the clutch slowly to reduce the speed? And if you notice to come a car you push back down and change to 1st ? I hope I understand well. Thank you for your videos and patience with learners.
