Thank you for this beautiful clear video. Planning on trying this next year in Italy. Very nervous about driving on the right.

[lisabeaumont]

This is GREAT! Thank you so much - exactly what I need ahead of my car trip to the continent. :)

[Charsiu]

Just what I needed as Im driving in France in a couple of weeks! Thanks

[kyleburgoyne]

Thanks for this video really learned a lot 👍

[GordonHeaney]

Very helpful, exactly what I needed. Been a while since I drove on the right

[Saffafication]

Thanks for this, very helpful for an Australian, if I ever want to drive in Europe, a bit confusing, but hopefully Ill manage it one day, as my mum has a car in a European country.

A right exit is showed but not if you need the third exit, your position during going around past the exits you don't want.

thanks i grew up in that area it has changed a lot many more round abouts

[destroyinggaminglife]

So in the uk we give way to drivers from the right. In Europe where they drive on the right hand side you give way to drivers on the left? (Trying to win a debate and any reply would be great haha)

I'm surprised that the video does not include the roundabouts in France where the traffic joining the roundabout has priority over the traffic which is already on the roundabout. The most famous of these is the one at the Arc but there are many other smaller examples, particularly in the Paris region. You could be hit by the car behind if you stop and give way to traffic already on the roundabout. 😐

So I’m as European would like to confirm, eu doesn’t have those 12 o’clock rule on roundabout as Uk have.. if roundabout would be 2 lanes I could go on the first lane and turn out to whatever exist I like, not like in Uk where first lane or roundabout goes to second exit only..

[fusebox]

Hopefully you mentioned Belgium in the title.. There are also very few roundabouts with priority to the right. People entering the roundabout have the priority. These are rare in Belgium) mainly in archaic country like France.

Rules for using indicators are also different from the UK.
If I'm not mistaken, in the UK you signal as if it was a normal crossing. (f.e., if you inted to take the 3e exit, you indicate left)
But in France and Belgium, Netherlands, ... you don't indicate when entering the roundabout but you indicate right when you're going to take the next exit.
Also, the give way doesn't mean you have to stop, so if there is nobody on the roundabout to your left (and no pedestrians/cyclists about to cross), you can just keep going.

Hi, can you make a video on crossroad, right of way on junction, pls. Thanks

[nerdydev]

Thanks for the video. Looks confusing as hell

[goldfinger]

Hi what if there's more than one lane in the roundabout. Do I stay on the outer lane for 1st exit and 2nd exit and inner lane for 3rd and forth or you tell me

Nice one brov, useful tips. I would love to see some african businesses in France 🇫🇷. For example, restaurants, fashion, hair shop mechanics, etc. I know it's not your specific but it will bring lots of subscribers as well.

[MrMentalz]

[goldfinger]
