Just passed my test and absolutely hate roundabouts

[Gazmus]

and if you live in the West Midlands where the roundabouts are fucking weird, always pull up in the right hand lane and do a few loops whilst you scope the situation out.

Daughter in driving seat being taught verbally about roundabouts by her driving instructor, he’s taken nearly 25 mins to explain, thought i would come on YouTube and see about roundabouts, this video is so simple to understand roundabouts, could of saved £33, never mind!!

[lisainger]

Always stay on your lane, very important

[Cowcow]

Since the road isn't marked for directions and is a dual carriageway way to dual carriageway. You can also use the right-hand lane to enter the straight on rosd in the right-hand position

[LJ-nebd]

As someone who had a learner driver (with instructor) pull out of the lane to my left as I was heading to the second exit - this reassures me that they were definitely in the wrong!

[julietoner]

Would be great this if !!! you used the bottom road to demonstrate. When looking at roundabout sign’s we’re always entering from the bottom 😊

[paulbromley]

I do this, always have done. So many just take their lucky favourite lane and never indicate its like a giant roulette wheel

[markpritchard]

Unless roadmarkings indicate otherwise. For example if the left lane has a left turn arrow in it you will then need to use the right lane to take the 2nd exit.

[DanielAleksanderJensen]

In Denmark you don't have to signal left in a roundabout with two lanes. You can just drive into it without signaling and then you signal right to exit on the third or fourth exit. If you want you may signal left in this situation.

[GarethRiffStevens]

They say to enter either lane when turning right but this is bad, always go to the right hand lane then signal left to entr the inside lane once you enter to prevent crashing into drivers on the inside that may come in fast behind you from the last road you pass.

[ricardo-kb]

For anyone who lives in a country where you drive on the right side, in this video right is left and left is right

[douglasreid]

Some roundabouts for the second exit (straight on) can be marked to use lane 2. You need to add in, use lane 1 if no road markings saying to use another lane or you will have a lot of drivers doing it wrong and possibly causing accidents.

[XeRo]

Roundabouts in the UK look so confusing compared to the US

[ayeshaalam]

Thanks a lot
I’m watching from Switzerland 🇨🇭 and coming soon 🔜

[marzipanda_]

This is why I failed.. had no clue coz there weren’t any lane markings on the roundabout and I went too far into the middle when I was going straight ahead

[EARECRUITMENT]

3rd exit is wrong, you should be moving to the left lane as you’re pass 2nd and leaving on the left lane…

[arekzawistowski]

I hate going inner circle as there is a possibility for someone going outer one when i want to go there

[prince]

The irony is that in India nobody follows lanes while driving. They think that whole road itself is a lane and you can drive at any side. Here a vehicle which has to turn right is driving in the extreme left lane and a vehicle which has to go straight is in the right lane where some vehicles are waiting to turn right side.

[fearnothing]

Using the example above Can you enter the roundabout if the driver to your right is using the inside lane to go straight ahead and you want to turn left at the same exit.
