That’s exactly what happened to me today. Got beeped at someone actually swung round and went round the front of me! Nearly causing an accident and lots of beeping. It’s a shame these aren’t more clear filter lanes. I feel like you’re cutting across. I guess you’d advise using your indicator to move left onto Brickhill?
Thanks a lit for this. If you were taking the 4th exit instead, would you have stayed in that 3rd lane until you are passed the 3rd exit before you start spiralling out or would you have started spiralling out as you are approaching that 3rd exit?
On option 2 at the second roundabout where you went off on the 2nd exit did it have 1 lane off or 2. If it had 2 lanes off id personally stay in the right or if only 1 lane off and no one is letting you into the left lane. I would actually stay in the right, indicate right and lap the roundabout and exit on the left lane. People that know the area will often allow cars to merge from the right or be expecting to merge from the right. If busy i try to give people sliding room
Yes that is correct what you are saying. On the driving test the test examiner would expect you to get into the left lane as soon as possible. But I agree with what you are saying.
My instructor teaches me that I don't have to signal in 3th or 4th exit in spiral roundabouts because the lines are taking me to the exact exit. I am confused now. What is your advice sir?
Hey great vid, I got a quick question so there is this round about it has 4 exits I always need to take the 3rd which at like 2 o’clock angle and there is 3 lanes to choose from don’t I use the 3rd lane as it’s past 12? Some drivers use middle but some use right I get so confused 🥺🥺😭😭
@@JamesTravis hey so there’s only 1 lane when coming off it so I have no idea what lane to get in before hand middle which leads directly to the exit or right since it’s past 12 o’clock exit? Btw there’s no markings on the floor to help
@@knt2660 use the middle lane and be prepared for people merging from the right. The 3rd lane is for the 4th exit by the sounds of it. If it help draw a circle representing the roundabout and 3rd lane draw a line round to 4th exit , middle lane draw round to 3rd exit and from 1st lane draw a line to 1st and 2nd it should make sense. None of the lines should need to overlap if that helps

US visitor here-excellent roundabout videos!! Very helpful. I always feel like I’m doing it wrong but your videos give me confidence!
Glad to help!
With grateful thanks
You're most welcome
Great for me to see this thank you this will give me a bit more knowledge to improve my roundabouts particularly these ones
Safe driving

Yes I would advise the indicator. Safe driving
So if I wanted the 4th exit I’d move to left lane and ofc indicate once I see exit 3 ? As I obviously failed for cutting someone up nearly 😢

I’ve heard going third exit ahead, would you need to signal right through out that or is it only if your told third exit right? Very confused sorry !
If the third exit is on the right, then yes signal
@@JamesTravis what about if it’s straight ahead, Would I still need to signal eventhough it’s 3rd exit ? And thank you for your reply :)

I would signal to exit.
@@JamesTravis thank you. 👍

You can use both it really depends on what you want to do after and volume of traffic. Its a bit silly not to use an empty lane you can use
@@wrightwoodworkthe issue is when coming off it’s only 1 lane so when 2 drivers are getting in there’s always issues
That is true. But on a driving test the examiner would expect you to get to the left lane as soon as it is safe to.

I’m really struggling with those roundabout when I enter the roundabout I get lost 😢I heat them
They do take a lot of practice. Safe driving.
