Very interesting : it is a rehearsal for me, as I will be driving through Folkestone this summer. I went there several times (almost once a year), but it is good to remember how to manage properly the roundabouts and crossroads : the first danger comes from the right side ! Cheers from France.
Ah yes - driving on the opposite side of the road than your used to can always present some problems. You would laugh at my trying to navigate roundabouts in France 🤣
@@drivewithcare_uk But I think the worst in the UK, with my French car (steering wheel on the left side) is overtake, even stationned cars on the left side of the road. I must trust the passenger (my wife) ...
Hi! I can’t quite make out 10:45 . You bear left and then go straight across. Is there a line for you to stop for traffic or can you just drive straight to the give way line?
Hi. Just as you said. I turned left to leave the road I was in, but as I was driving across the island I immediately hit the give way. There was nothing coming from my left so I didn’t wait, I just continued driving. Had there been something coming I’d have waited.
Wear Bay Road - you can drive in the cycle lane, it is the safest position, unless a cyclist is using it. Then safely go past the cyclist out of their lane. 👍🏻
Need more more Fokestone test route
I’ll see what I can do 👍

Oh yeah I can understand that!

It looks like there’s a solid white line just at 10:57. Thanks in advance for your response!

Tram Road used to be one-way in the 60s/70s if I recall correctly. Am I right or wrong? 🤔
I think you’re right. I wasn’t around in Folkestone until 2014 so I couldn’t say!
Tram road was one way until 2014. 👍🏻

That’s good to know 👍
