When To Go at Busy UK Roundabouts - Roundabouts Driving Lesson

How to approach and enter busy UK roundabouts can be difficult when you're learning to drive as it takes a lot of anticipation of other vehicles.

Failed for hesitation on the driving test?

A roundabouts driving lesson will cover entering busy roundabouts and how to anticipate other road users.

If you hesitate at roundabouts, then hopefully this video will help.
How do you know when to enter a busy roundabout? Because a majority of other drivers don't signal when they should we have to look out for other more subtle clues as to when to go. You should give way to the right at roundabouts but if there's an endless stream of vehicles entering the roundabout then we have to wait for a vehicle to come around the roundabout and exit towards where we've come from and at the same time block the vehicles on our right. Knowing when the other vehicle is coming off is the difficult part. Look at the angle of the other vehicle and where they're steering. Never assume they're coming off, check, check and check again.

If you're unsure it's safe, then wait and don't go as it's not worth the risk.

This is one of the best videos how to enter roundabouts because as a viewer you leave the passive "just watching a video" to actively checking when to go. 😊

Thank you for this video! It had helped me massively!.. I’ve been struggling with traffic on roundabouts since I’ve started with driving lessons (almost a year a now) and after watching this video few times it finally started to clicking in my head. Thank you so much 🙏🏼

Big Roundabouts can be scary at times, it took me ages to get the hang of them! I've met a car coming the wrong way round it, that was one big scary moment.

Currently have ~30 hours of lessons under my belt and live in a roundabout-centric town (no, not *that* one). When it comes to using shields/blockers is I *think* they are exiting and will be a shield, but by the time I'm certain, the opportunity has typically passed, as the opportunity typically lasts for just under 2 seconds, and takes about the same amount of time to double check.

[marditoon]

Ive got my test tomorrow and worry about undue hesitation and getting mark down for it at roundabouts. This video helped alot. On a different note the van door opening at 11.30 minutes can be dangerous

Hi world driving, can you do a video on different types of road markings an example would be when approaching a roundabout the arrow will tell you to go left if you need to go left or to go right if you need to go right? And other car driving road markings situations where your told which lane you need to be in. Also how much fuel would you need in most cars which would allow you to get to most places in the country?

[emmanuelgbade]

@chris please I have been practicing on my own. Whenever I am approaching a roundabout, I usually stay on the left lane if I am only going on the 1st exit, but any 2nd exit I stayed on the right, please and indicate after passing the first exit or the second exit. I am I right on this please?

[politiquementincorrect]

None of the cars going straight ahead is positioning on the left-hand lane in the roundabout, is it a lane discipline issue with these drivers or I missed something ?
