Double Mini Roundabouts & Magic Roundabouts in Great Britain - Pass your Driving Test Series

How to deal with double and multiple mini roundabouts and how to read their directional signs. Negotiating double and multiple/magic mini roundabouts can be a challenging task for even the most experienced drivers. Trying to concentrate on one roundabout at a time and knowing how to read the signs will help keep things more simple. If you can do one mini roundabout, you can do many.

Just watching my old video back, is it me or am I talking too slowly? Try to stick with it, I think the info in this video is very important for anyone learning to drive.

I love the dash of humor in your video, thanks for your videos

i'm now trying to imagine which biscuits work well for situations we meet when driving.

roundabout = wagon wheel (although this might be a cake, not a biscuit?)
junction = digestive
parking = nice
emergency stop = ginger nuts
changing lanes = twix (chocolate bar or biscuit?) or chocolate fingers work i guess
motorway = kitkat (yes. the biscuit analogy is out the window now)
traffic lights = jammy dodgers (back on track lol)
bay parking = custard cream
overtaking = viennese whirl
crash = crunch cream, or chocolate hobnob

i think i want to watch more of your vids and also eat some biscuits now haha :)

I am an American learning to drive a manual car in the UK. After being used to driving on the runways(US roads)
;driving in the UK used to make my heart flutter. Especially the roundabouts, tight gaps and right turns on mini roundabouts. I must say that your videos has made my driving practice lot more easier. Thanks a bunch!😊

[VarnokGamer]

Im glad you’re here to inform us, learning to drive is just swings and roundabouts.

I’ll see myself out…

[AstrologerVaibhavBhardwaj]

Love the way you simplified the thinking process around double mini and magic roundabouts. This makes things so much clearer. Thanks a lot!

[lukaszkochanek]

Amazing work. And a great way to demonstrate difficulty and unnecessity of dealing with two problems at once with biscuits 🙂

[nosheen]

U r an amazing teacher in such a young age. Thanks for such a fantastic information on mini roundabout. Stay blessed 🙌

[swetau]

Omg thank you! Just what I really really needed!

[metacarpitan]

The magic roundabout is the bane of my life

BRILLIANT as always but can we please have a 10-minuter on spiral roundabouts please. My 'local' is a spiral roundabout, with 6 sets of traffic lights, 6 exits (some uphill) and all with 3 or 4 lanes off each exit and with numerous 'Keep Clear', and chevron boxes and mostly used by articulated lorries and speeding white vans!

[michellehawkins]

Love the demonstration with the chocolate digestives 😂🤣

Hi Richard, I love your videos and they form the core of the majority of lesson prep for my pupils. There seems to be a general lack of double-mini roundabout videos on YouTube. Are you still happy with this one Richard? The diagram you've mostly focussed on isn't really a true double-mini, it's just two mini roundabouts in close proximity and it would clearly make sense to deal with them one at a time. In reality, well in South Gloucestershire anyway, most double minis are crammed into a crossroads at an angle to each other (not even a staggered junction). In this situation, you need to be looking across both roundabouts on approach and take a good look at the second when passing through the first to be ready for priority at your exit. It's worth pointing out that the signalling at these 'crossroads' double-minis is pretty much identical to a single roundabout and that the sign approaching the roundabout will inform whether approaching vehicles crossing your path will be doing so at the first or second 'disc'. The sign also informs you if you need to go around both discs, or just the first one when turning right, because they are not all the same. I realise I'm being incredibly lazy expecting you to make a new video Richard, but you are GREAT! Would you consider putting one together with a specific focus on linked double-minis located in a crossroads, taking into consideration the points I have raised?

Amazing teacher, keep up the good work,

[riyas]

Another funny and informative video, nailed it! 🤣 Thanks

[alfiecollumbell]

good bit with the digestives, made my day after a horrible mock test

[zzhughesd]

Watched this one a few times Richard. Biscuit analogy. Please link the clutch one kitchen oil. My PT3 starts 29 April. Back on the theory

[brigitteantal]

Super helpful as always, I knew I would find a video on this on your channel 😊👍 so grateful for all the work you're putting in

I just keep thinking what if i am taking my test and my driving instructor tells me to go right at the traffic lights but instead of doing that i just go straight forward or left which is easier. Obviously this is just a hypothetical and i doubt anyone would do it but if you cannot get failed for going the wrong way it seems like you can make the driving test a lot easier. Or would the examiner fail you if you did this multiple times?
