Large Roundabouts | Learn to drive: Intermediate skills

Once a new driver has mastered driving on smaller roundabouts, the next step is to drive on larger roundabouts. However, large roundabouts can be busier and faster, and might also have more exits and multiple lanes. The fast-moving traffic flow can be more difficult to enter, and it is easy to get disorientated - which could lead to an unsafe lane change or a wrong turn. This video will show how to approach, enter and navigate around large roundabouts safely.

Very helpful video! My driving instructor always makes me slow down to a near crawl on approach to every roundabout, even if visibility is good and I can see it's clear. When I have questioned them about this they always say its because things can change quickly, which granted they can. However, when I slow down on the next approach they tell me that I'm being hesitant and not making progress and I'll fail if I do that on test! So most the time I feel like I can't win.

Large roundabouts are my pet peeves at the moment and I'm a new driver who passed a month ago! Thanks for the video xx

Thanks for the instructional video. I am trying to do large roundabouts properly and realized i was doing them quite dangerously after watching your video

When I try to tackle a sizeable roundabout, with like, 3, 4 or FIVE lanes, my mind is like supercharged, as if I am on a roller-coaster and the adrenaline is going full throttle. I am so anxious and scared I might suddenly veer into someone on my left or something. I am pretty fine on standard two lane roundabouts. And driving into cities is probably not something I would want to do!

These roundabouts scare me so bad as I’m a new driver I’m just so scared of messing up!! thanks for the vid xx

Before navigating an unfamiliar complex roundabout, pre-departure research on Google Maps and Street View can be invaluable. It shouldn't be necessary, but so many modern roundabouts in the UK seem to be designed for use by drivers of well above average ability, i.e. a minority.

Thank you. Could you do more videos of all the complex roundabouts when you can please. As your video is good I like it it is more understanding and clear.

[Chrishman]

Very helpful video :) I am planning to go to Scotland this year. Roundabouts are more difficult than in Germany. Best wishes from Berlin :)

[jackwilspinz]

Thank you, this video was very useful.

It took me a while to realise that your 'outer lane' is what I call the left-hand lane; the 'inner' being my right-hand lane, closest to the centre of the rondo.
