honestly, I've had 100hrs of driving, first test is tomorrow and busy roundabouts were probably the hardest thing to learn, I like to take my time when driving so these 1-2s gaps were something I hated, I wonder how practical a small video game would be to help learners identify gaps at these kind of roundabouts? as I found it tough to identify gaps and hated learning it because it felt scary, maybe within a small game, it could help teach learners to improve their skill on when to enter a busy roundabout Update: 93 hours of lessons 10 hours of practice and 1 year are finally over, Passed First time with 3 Minors!
I passed my test yesterday, I thought I failed 2 mins into my test at my first roundabout because I hesitated as no one was indicating and I realised I could have gone and there were cars behind me. I got a minor for undue hesitation.
Nice! my first test is tomorrow morning, my only issue is a bit of hesitation too, nothing serious, but its improved a lot since, I don't think I will pass, if I get a good easy route then I probably will but if I have to go on certain roads, it's probably over, there's a dual carriageway near me that's slip road only gives you literally 2 seconds of mirror time to decide to join or not, being how I like to take my time and drive carefully, I fucking despise this road and never feel safe on it and I'm never going on it if I pass but if in Doubt, wait, thats what I was told at roundabouts and honestly, better to get a minor for hesitation than to go out and crash into someone
If you are having a lesson before your test, tell your instructor you want to do the slip road and anything you are not confident with. I luckily got a route where I go past my house. There are no slip roads near me so I've not learned how to use one but I'm going to have a motorway lesson soon. Good luck on your test.
I'm the same with roundabouts my instructor says look for blockers roundabouts are definitely one of the hardest I've got my test next week goodluck with your test
You've got this Phoebe! With a bit more experience, you'll start to identify what some people call the "body language" of cars. It's especially useful with judging when to pull out on roundabouts.
you can also look blockers from the left-hand side who has right signal on (right hand lane for right turn then they come all the way around and block cars for you) especially on very busy roundabouts
I feel for Pheobe, i have this exact same problem and i’ve been doing driving lessons for what feels like forever! I also put extra pressure on myself because i feel like I’m holding everyone up even when there’s no appropriate gaps😩
I hope you can do a video on Milton Keynes body roundabouts one day. It's absolutely crazy some hours of the day, and speed is everyone's middle name here 😭
It's just practice try not to watch every car. Just watch for what matters the spaces and the blockers. Try to keep it as simple as you can . With practice you start to understand drivers positioning more and what they intend to do
If you go left on roundabout first exit and cars on the roundabout are in inside line, most probably going past that exit to next ones, you cannot just go if the outside lane on roundabout is not busy?
No, because those cars on the inside lane could move out at any time. Plenty of drivers do not move to the outer lanes until the last second, so you would risk cutting someone off. This is also why you should always maintain a staggered formation on a roundabout, the risk of being side-swiped/or side-swiping someone as you exit a roundabout is high, as a lot of people will move into the left lane as they exit from the inner lane. I recommend watching dash cam channels, they help you learn hazard perception, and show you how NOT to manoeuvre your car on a roundabout. "Dash cam roundabouts" should turn up compilation videos showing you good examples.
@@Dr3Mc3Ninja thanks. If there are two lanes on exit drivers from inner lane would usually exit there, in the right lane. But may be a problem if there is one lane and they are leaving at the last second
Hey i bought your driving course 4 years ago, and I logged in today and it's telling me I have to pay again. Can you help me get back on please? I sent my receipt to your email, thank you

Good luck!! I have mine tomorrow aswell, just going through some videos to get myself ready before hand

Mr. DGN, I just want to say a massive thank you for all of your amazing UA-cam videos, I passed today!!!
I just passed my test yesterday on 2nd attempt... thanks to your videos really helpful.. I never had any practice 🎉
congrats

I needed this video!

Very hight quality detailed video thanks for your good sharing ✅
I think Phoebe is ready for her test. 😊
Excluding your Manoeuvers & before pulling off when should you check over your shoulder?
A lane change on a motorway could be applicable for a shoulder check. Also merging onto a dual carriageway or motorway.
Pheobe look at the front wheels of the car that will help I’ve only had 48 lessons and being told I’m doin well
I do this roundabout daily...can be real bad during peak times to get on to it to be fair

This would be every American's nightmare😂😂😂
No ned to indicate at roundabouts when going straight over. If you do indicate it could confuse other drivers as to where you am going.
Wrong
You need to indicate before you leave it to let people know you're getting off. makes it much easier for people to find gaps

A bit unrelated but okay
