This is a very common mistake on roundabouts | Straight lines a roundabout

Lane markings don't help sometimes unfortunately. Some lanes suddenly split into 2 lanes like Redbridge roundabout. I've had my license 6 years but roundabouts I feel aren't always marked safely/clearly by the government

part of the reason why this is confusing to some people watching is because this video does not clearly show where the left turn lane is on the roundabout and how it drops off. it only shows the lane on the dual carriageway

Lane marking at this roundabout sucks.

I failed my first test (many moons ago) for supposedly crossing lanes on a roundabout making it confusing for other drivers! The difference being there was absolutely zero road markings! 😢thought it was a bit harsh at the time.

I forget how learning to drive is so hard. I think all my cycling helped me a lot, and I’d recommend it to anyone learning to drive. A very cheap way of getting to know roads and junctions.

I just made this mistake today in my lesson. But its very hard as the signs are not very clear and you don't have enough time to react

Alright so, when entering the roundabout the far left lane was a left turn only, middle and right were able to go ahead. After entering the roundabout in a mid lane check your left mirror and move over to the far left lane of the roundabout once passing the first exit. The reason the other car drove infront of the learner is because he expected the learner to move to the left and allow him to get in the lane the learner was in safely.

That's so confusing though. The floor arrows in the left lane show a left turn only which I always thought is for the first exit, so if you are taking the second exit would you not automatically stay in the middle lane as per the markings showing straight ahead. The lanes do split after the first exit which I think make roundabouts so much more difficult and prone to accidents because people are never sure or in the correct position

[leadwithfk]

Great explanation, absolutely clear, the driver should have moved to the left most lane for the second exit immediately upon entering the roundabout

[zacho]

This doesn’t make sense to me ibr they stayed in the same lane

[marodait]

I believe as long as there's broken lines you can switch lanes as long as it is safe.

Thank you so much Prof. Amman for reminding this very important situation to be careful. If happen that drivers are thinking about job, burdens and it’s really part of our life to make a mistake unintentionally. Dad reminds me all very important matter for the safe of all once I am on my way before I left garage. I miss him so much every day since 1999😢.

Round abouts like this are just inconsistent and shit. UK roads are shit. Driving here is horrible.

I would not describe this as a roundabout as a roundabout should be free flowing but this junction has multiple traffic lights on it preventing the free flow of traffic. Therefore it’s a traffic light junction.

Could you please do a full video on spiral roundabouts with 3 lanes plz .

[jennalopez]

I've always found it, easy to tell which lanes are what lanes and I don't get confused by roundabouts easily for now

[T.K.]

Main issue too why its confusing is that the line for your middle lane cuts off and that part with no white lines perspective wise if you are becoming narrow sighted looks like you are in line for the right line as you entered where the van was. When in fact you are joining a dual carriage and from your middle lane should enter on the left lane.

So you gotta widen your vision and make sure you stick to your lane cause I won't lie, it's very confusing if not aided by any white lines on the road.

[jacobsed]

You can’t see it on camera but basically the lane in the left next to the van was the one they were supposed to follow…

[jacobdean]

I take this road daily to get home from work and it seems a lot more people need to see this video 😂

[cheftequila]

So glad i passed my test a few weeks ago. I remember the anxiety i had watching these videos. I thought my test was straightforward in fairness.
