They all say that when going across a mini roundabout that you have to atempt/show that you drive around it by "slighty" stearing around it. If that makes sence. Could you explain a little more about mini roundabouts please.

    Wow, this was almost my route to class 2. I was there for the first time in my life more than half way. totterhoe, kesnworth, wipsnade zoo never been here. I hooked the 16:10 curb in the video. my road changed from 37:45 turn right. I continued straight through the center of Dunstable. It's a pity, but I lacked experience, 3 days of driving Hgv maximum of 10 hours on road experience. It's a pity that I missed this video before the exam, greetings to instructor John;) the route is really picturesque, but difficult. You are great Patryk, greetings ;)

    Hi Patrick. First of all, thank you very much for your work and your videos are great and very helpful. I followed many test routes, unfortunately today I failed the exam on a route unknown to me. I slightly hit the curb at the mini roundabout in the village of TOTTERNHOE, then the route ran towards Wipsnade Zoo and finally I found myself just before Dunstable where I drove through the entire city center. what do you think about this route combination? I'll find it in one of your videos?. Thank you very much once again, best regards, Kamil.

      Thanks for the answer, I find that route hard for myself as I was there first time. Totterhoe quite thight, route to wipsnade zoo and I forgot about one more village I was passing through Kensworth. On the end of the road turned left for A5183. Today I retraced the entire route in my car and yesterday I wrote badly about hitting the curb. It was the mini roundabout in west dunstable at the end of totterhoe road before bp station and the road to the zoo. All the best Patrick.

    • @retroschoolofmotoring1261
      @retroschoolofmotoring1261 Місяць тому

      I’d say straddle only if you have to. Wide roads, dual carriageways etc, you don’t need to unless you are blocking off one of the lanes to make it safer for other road users, this comes with a bit of practice and at some point you will know where to do and when is not necessary. Towns and city centres are where most likely you will split but again not always, Drive safe🤙🏻
