Published 2020-03-29
In this short video we try and make Spiral & Large Multi-Lane Roundabouts as simple as possible. Although the thought of large Multi-Lane Roundabouts seems scary. In a lot of cases they are very well laid out with signs and road marking. So, if you understand what to look for and what they mean. They can become much easier than you first thought.
Example 1 - 00:08, Winchester road roundabout example 1 going tight third exIt from the ring road to Winchester road.
Example 2 - 02:49, Again on the Winchester road roundabout, this time from Winchester road onto the ring road also going right third exit.
Example 3 - 04:47, Again same roundabout but going ahead 2nd exit from the Winchester road across the ring road and staying on the Winchester road towards the town centre.
With any junction, don’t be afraid of going the wrong way. You can always turn around and get back on course later. So, if for example you find yourself in a left only lane on the approach to a Large Multi-Lane Roundabout, but you want to go straight ahead but don’t feel like you have time or its not safe to change lanes. Just go left safely and then turn around later when it is safe. Even on a driving test it does not matter if you go the wrong way if what you do is safe.
This video was filmed using roundabouts in the area of Basingstoke Driving Test Centre in Hampshire, on the Winchester Road Roundabout,

I've just moved from canada a few weeks ago and have just started driving. I was a very confident driver "back home", but off to a slower start here. Your videos really help with my confidence! I appreciate all the angles and explanations.

I am new in UK and driving on my Intl. license, I found your videos really helpful. Before travelling on unfamiliar roads, I check my route on google maps and mark down large roundabouts, then use a google earth or street view to check markings, signs to learn what lane I should take. I know most of us don't have time for this, but this little education saves me from honking of impatient angry drivers :)

This is one the most informative videos I've ever seen of using roundabouts in the UK. Will definitely be subscribing. Passed my driving test last year. Now planning a trip to the UK next year if covid doesn't get in the way, so I'm watching these videos so I know how to use the roundabouts in the UK. We have roundabouts where I am but nothing like this, the roundabouts in Australia are simple and easy to use.

this has helped me so much thanks mate. you’re a legend
-
Incredible teaching skills. Thank you for this great video!
-
That drone footage is excellent, helps with forward planning, many thanks, this should help with my module 2 bike test!
-
ive had my licence for a while but cant do large roundabouts. these dont look too hard, try ones with more than 3 exits, busy so you cant see the road markings, the dotted lines to show your lane have rubbed off. those are the roundabouts i always find myself in the wrong lane
-
The drone footage with POV really good. Very helpful video. Only on the downside, the round in your video was very nicely marked and signal controlled. I find poorly marked multi lane roundabouts without signals much more difficult to deal with
-
Explained it brilliantly! Was absolutely clueless until I watched this video thank you for uploading!
-
