Spiral roundabouts

Spiral roundabouts can seem confusing to learner drivers, so I am hoping this video will help you to get a better understanding go what to do.
The video covers how to change lanes on spiral #roundabouts, what you should be looking for on the approach to the spiral roundabout and the importance of planning to help you get off safely.

I’ve been driving for 20yrs and I still can’t cope with nightmare roundabouts like this! I’m thinking of having more driving lessons.

This is the only video that helped me to understand spiral roundabout properly!

I find once you've done one multiple times you just seem to "know" what lanes to be in, what can be tricky is a unfamiliar spiral at night or in the wet when the road markings are almost invisible

My test is in Tuesday you have helped me loads I don’t like roundabout but finally got them with your help

Plymouth has a lot of spiral roundabouts and with heavy traffic it's sometimes impossible to see the road markings, so there's often last-second lane changing going on. You need eyes in the back of your head!

Hi Travis. So thankful you've got a video on this. I struggled with this during my driving lessons as I keep getting confused. My instructor gave me a printed image copy of the spiral roundabout (the one I am struggling with) which he got from Google Maps to get myself familiarise as this particular roundabout will definitely be in the test route as the testing centre in my area are a few blocks from it. My test is booked next month. I have been binge-watching your videos. Thanks for all the helpful tips for a learner like me.

As a German who drove their car to the UK and is staying here for a few months I immediately came across an even scarier spiral next to my current home. It has 7 exits and you approach it on a maximum of 3 lanes, but the roundabout has 5 lanes at most times. Firstly I don't know what lane to take when approaching, then I don't know what lane to go on inside (at some exits 1 lane will come off, at others 2 will come off or none at all, making it a guessing game) and when I realise I'm on the wrong lane I can't usually do anything different from taking a wrong exit that elongates my journey for at least 5 minutes as all exits go to carriageways or motorways. And then there are traffic lights in the roundabouts that make me wonder why they didn't simply build a regular intersection instead, would have been easier and faster for nearly everyone.

Really excellent use of repetition. Thank you so much. Learned a lot.

I haven't done spiral roundabouts yet. This video was helpful to understand the theory behind them but will have to wait and see how it goes in practice...

[QasimKhan-scst]

You are amazing sir I have been watching your videos every day
Really helpful Big thanks for sharing

[arbjful]

Very useful video. Thanks..

These spiral roundabouts are very confusing indeed. Its difficult knowing which lane to be in when guided by GPS. But I am glad to say, driving for the first time in UK I had difficulty with only some of them..
