The tactics besides from your position wiether you go 1st, straight ahead or 3rd to forth exit is = LOOK ON THE AHEAD ROAD WHEN THE CAr COMES IN ROUND IS TIME FOR YOU TO GO, THIS CAR WILL BLOCKed THE OTHER CAR from other road...........
fak this screwed me up. On my road test i failed because i did this wrong. To make a left you go around.
What i did:
Signal shoulder mirrors then i made a left..... Without going around.Luckly their where no cars their.I failed because of that one move.I wasn't nevrous or anything it's just that i never went on those before.... I got another test today in 2 hours. I hope i pass. This will be my 3rd time...
BSM is a horrible driving school. Their employee's are taught how to string out lessons to get more money from pupils. They're also German owned now, 'British School of Motoring' HAH! Try GSM. If anybody is with BSM now, go to a private instructor you'll be better of financially.
@nuramoboy if you want to take to 1st or 2nd exit you take the left lane but if you want to take the 3rd or 4th exit you need to take the right lane hope this helps
i passed my drivin test almost 2 yrs ago and i have not been drivin since... now i am forgettin how 2 drive... i will probably get a second hand car... hope so really
@u9941843 Thank's for that lol, but there is no marking on the roundabout, and there's only the right hand lane and the left hand lane approaching the roundabout.
If there is no lane markings on the roundabout, you approach as in this video. If there is two lanes without any arrows then use your common sense based on what is in this video. The left hand lane will be used for left or ahead, and the right hand lane for turning right.
Sometimes though this is different and in this case they use arrows. You use whichever lane the arrow tells you depending on where you want to go.
Ok wtf?? where i live u have arrows painted on the ground to let u no which lane to approach the bigish roundabouts in.. and i've got my test 3 weeks today.. and the only one that confuses me still is going straight on. i mean in this video she says to approach in the left hand lane, but here theres arrows in the right hand lane pointing forward and right and in the left hand lane it's just pointing left :s. xox
@Felicity300 Hi Felicity. That basically means that the prople going left are being kept separate from the rest of the roundabout. On the roundabout you'll probably see the markings that keep them separate. If there's more than one lane marked for straight on just keep in the left one and remember to indicate before you come off - then you won't go far wrong. Hope that helps!
The concept of roundabouts is to keep traffic moving. NO! What they actually do is cause congestion, accidents and road rage. Therefore, roundabouts need to really go. I drive about 50 000 miles a year, and often have to use roundabouts and they cause me a great deal of stress. In the modern day world, roundabouts really do not work at all. They should all be replaced with traffic lights or in the case of mini roundabouts, conventional junctions. Roundabouts are my number one pet hate.
@StephenDundas4267 lol I can imagine, "Step 1: Rev the engine very high in preparation for the drift. Step 2: Pull the handbrake, making sure the tail end of the car is out. Step 3: Lightly adjust the throttle while keeping the car in the redline to maximize time savings. Step 4: If you miss your exit, go around again!" haha if only it were that easy..
The roundabouts were the nightmarish to me, I could not pass the test 4 times, messed up only in the round abouts, thanks to the constant positive encouragement of my intructor, always appreciating about my all other skills, and thoughly trained and practised me on roundabouts so I passed the test now easily crossing multilane double roudabouts. So guys although everyfailure dips you down psychologically and crushes your self-esteem, so never give up, try again, success is certainly yours
@SamiaLOLZ bsm dont care if you pass or fail, they want you to take as long as possible as the instructors get more money. its because bsm is a franchise so their instructors dont get a salary they make more money the more lessons they instruct
we have these in the U.S. and they are multi laned to so it is very confusing and there aren't any stops but yeild signs so people blow throgh them like nothing so you have to be very cousious.
the roundabouts are there so u DONT have to stop.. The driving in this car.. stop.. watch right and left! and then move in to the roundabout.. Ya you should stop if there is a car coming from the right.. Hope you understand when i meen :P
for an idea on multi-lane roundabouts have a look at 'cruise control' page (blue peugeot) on facebook. there's a couple of good videos there of doing them.
@toothlesstanner omg same here!! :'( roundabouts are my only down fall n im expected to book my practical within a month!! :'( i hate the big roundabouts, where all the cars are going in differnt directions n my instructors saying 'go now!' n im too scared n in a daze to react quik enuff then he makes me feel like shit n goes 'u cuda gone then, and then!' :'( im too damn hesitant
@PandaBoo92 It's like reading my own thoughts hahah. Don't worry, I have my license now! In the test, we only went on little roundabouts but I'm from Australia so yeah... but I STILL hate the roundabouts. I am the most hesitant person ever and my instructor used to say 'You could have gone' and the cars even beeped at me!!! Just keep at it, if I can pass my test, I'm sure you can too cos im a retard hahaha ;)
@toothlesstanner aww! :( dnt call ur self a retard lol aah ive had my fair share of being beeped at..:/ to the point where, once i was at a junction and this guy was beeping sooo unneccessarily and i was this close -> || <- to sticking a finger up loool XD but yh thanx for the advice! i feel better now even if i have to take the practical in about month's time :S :) ^^ x
@leapoffaith20 Oh, piss off fool. I passed my test first go and only have troubles with roundabouts. I've had my license for a year now and I rarely use roundabouts. Besides, I can do everything else just fine.
I'm doing OK with roundabouts, but it's usually really busy, small roundabouts that I hate.
I seem to hesitate too much because there are cars everywhere and many of them don't bother to indicate.
I had a lesson today in town during the school run, so it was extremely busy. I probably had quite a few opportunities to go but I wasn't sure if some cars were going to turn off or go around, because they didn't bother indicating!
@londonboyracer hahaha london boy racer? man what the fuck are you brits thinking!!!??? this is driving a fucking car not maneuvering 5 spaceships at once!! if you british fuckheads would actually learn how to drive properly you wouldnt need these useless videos!
@ebebimik if you consider driving round a roundabout, like driving '5 spacehsips at once' then i very much doubt that you drive. That or you are a complete imbecile.
been having lessons with bms, about ten now, but every lesson is the same jst keep driving in the same area/roads n im not sure if im a rubbish drivers or bsm are ripping me off. plus im quite small so half the challenge is trying to sit comfortably and half actually driving..anyone else have these problems with bsm?
ask your instructor why you are using the same roads all the time. It maybe he wants you to get used to driving on those roads because they are quiet or good roads for newer drivers. It was a fair while before my instructor took me anywhere busy.
bad instructor then, i started on 60 roads and we've been through 4 different town's and village's and i've done 8 lessons BSM or most big companies are a complete rip off, go private and although you pay a couple of quid more a lesson the benefits are great :)
Nope, i'm with a small local company, had my first ever driving earlier, for an hour and hlf, and already the instructor is taking me onto a main road next week, i've done starting and stopping, changing gears, and junctions, in 1 and a half hours, and stalled once. Quite happy :) lol
i just had my first lesson lol i freaking hate using the clutch every time moving the freaking car for light or roundabout.. GOOD LUCK :) dont know you but meh, stay calm lol n be ur self dont try impressing the douch next to ya :P good luck gain lol :P
I was like that on my first lesson, ive only had 17 lessons in total. Hopefully i should pass first time, ive managed 2 squeeze in another three lessons so im improving on roundabouts. ohh and thanks for good luck yeh
Good bit of advice for all learners: when you get to a roundabout side step the clutch with the accelerator,turn the wheels opposite lock and just let the rear end drift right out with the occasional use of the handbreak. Doing this on your test will show the examiner your skill.... GOOD LUCK!! PS a "burnout" at the end of the test will add a finishing touch.
a friend of mine used to build roundabouts for a living but gave it up because he said that he felt like he was going round in circles with the whole job...
do you have to always use the clutch when you use the break?? if yes,which one will go first?? not for full stop yeah but when you just want to give way, i mean, if you will only stop for 1-2 seconds..
If you are going to just slow down momentarily, you take your foot off the accelerator to use the break gently, then put your foot back on the accelerator to raise your speed back up to what it was. So no clutch. The clutch is used to change gear, which slows the car engine down.
If you need to slow down more, you take your foot off the accelerator to brake gently and use the clutch to go down a gear to further slow the engine. Brake and clutch together is 4 emergency stop.
use the break first, then put the clutch down wen the engine starts rumbling. then go into first gear before u move off again. if u only need to slow down, and not stop completely, then u wont need to use the clutch, unless u slow down enough to require a gear change, in which case press the clutch and drop down a gear or 2, then back on the accelerator.
Ah yes. BSM, the guys who have, let's say, 'socially problematic' instructors. There was one I had, a bloke in his 60s who chatted incessantly, took calls on his mobile when supposedly instructing, crammed as many people as possible in his car during one lesson, moaned about his money worries, worse still, provided details of his sex life, made racist and sexist comments about passers-by. All this when he's supposed to be teaching. What a awful job it must be to attract that calibre of person.
@kangapantz please tell me where he lives so i can beat that mutha fucka up!! i may not be with BSM (LDC, if anyone's heard of it lol) but from wat u say, he sounds like an absolute douche!!!! i hopoe he gets a learner who gets him involved in a collision on his sidee -______
I think the instruction is made way too technical. It suggests at the start that the varying roundabouts require differing approaches and thereby confusng the learner driver. Another point is the fact that the situation is not realstic. Most roundabouts are like the whacky races and ths instruction could do with some tips on dealing with this latter situation.
i like these smaller roundabouts but i cant get on with large roundabouts i,ve just passed my test but i keep having near misses on lareger 3 or 4 lane roundabouts some have multiple lanes to exit i keep getting beeped by behind cars for cutting across a little bit i need serious help any body?
Thanks for the video. I've never been in a roundabout before, and my town JUST finished one and I have my drivers test tomorrow. I'm from america, but I just needed to know the turn signal rules. Thanks.
In roundabouts it seems very dependent on all drivers understanding right of way and confidently using the rules such when to signal and when not to. If someone signals on and off because of incomptence other drivers can easily get coinfused with the intent actions
hmm excuse my ignorance, i'm from the USA, and since everyone here(except california for some reason) is to lazy to make vids like this i'm checking out the UK videos. Are roundabouts suppose to replace a US 4 way Intersection? It seems more effective then an intersection but a little more dangerous. In an American Intersection. Who is aloud to move is very clear and although it causes more traffic it allows everyone to pass confidently when their turn arrives.
It's very clear on a roundabout. You ALWAYS give way to traffic on your right. Depending on how far the next entrance to your right is, you might see traffic approaching the roundabout, and hence give way. Otherwise, you don't have right of way until traffic on the roundabout has passed you.
Some larger roundabouts also have traffic light systems. Unfortunately, this means when the lights are out, people don't treat them like roundabouts. Idiots. :/
Actually, you only give way to traffic on the right if you live in a left-hand-drive country. For those of us in right-hand-drive countries, the catch phrase is "look left and go" -- that is, you always give way to traffic on the LEFT.
Ah well yes, I made the flawed assumption that it was known that we were discussing left-lane-driving. But my point still stands: it's clear when you should give way and when you can go.
It should be. It's dismaying how many Americans are completely befuddled by these things. Those who live in those handful of places where they're commonplace know how to deal with them. Those that encounter one for the first time, well, they might as well be staring at an alien space ship. XD
i dnt have problems with roundabouts. on my test i went on 3 big roundabouts just got 1 minor for lane discipline b4 the third big roundabout. but he said follow the a106 it started on the left ended up on the right so i was like wtf!!???
i need some help i booked my driving test last tuesday and now it is monday and i have still not received my conformation letter from the dsa is there any suggestions how long does it usually take also the dsa has no information on there website about how long it takes to receive your conformation letter
If your on a roundabout turing right and your in the right hand lane about to turn left to exit the roundabout, when suddenly theres a car in the left hand lane continuing to go around so its blocking you from turning, what do you do? do you continue going around again to exit safely, or do you brake slightly and let it pass you or what?
If there is no car following you then it may be safe to brake slightly to left the car on the left pass. If there is a car behind you it may be safer for you to continue round the roundabout and then safely take the exit
not all rounabouts are like this. for example what if i wanted to take an exit that was on the ledt hand side but was not the first left exit how would i do that
Why is it that the car at the turn on to the roundabout before your turn always accelerates onto the roundabout so fast that you miss your chance to pull out? If only everyone pulled onto the roundabout slowly all cars would be able to pull out and the traffic would flow nicely - its all Gordon Brown's fault the one eyed get.
The tactics besides from your position wiether you go 1st, straight ahead or 3rd to forth exit is = LOOK ON THE AHEAD ROAD WHEN THE CAr COMES IN ROUND IS TIME FOR YOU TO GO, THIS CAR WILL BLOCKed THE OTHER CAR from other road...........

To deal with busy and often annoying pointless roundabouts;
1.Rev the engine to peak power (6000 rpm).
2.Position the steering straight.
3.When a gap appears, take your foot off the clutch.
4.Promptly leave the exit of your choice.

been having lessons with bms, about ten now, but every lesson is the same jst keep driving in the same area/roads n im not sure if im a rubbish drivers or bsm are ripping me off. plus im quite small so half the challenge is trying to sit comfortably and half actually driving..anyone else have these problems with bsm?

ask your instructor why you are using the same roads all the time. It maybe he wants you to get used to driving on those roads because they are quiet or good roads for newer drivers. It was a fair while before my instructor took me anywhere busy.
andysim212 2 years ago
bad instructor then, i started on 60 roads and we've been through 4 different town's and village's and i've done 8 lessons BSM or most big companies are a complete rip off, go private and although you pay a couple of quid more a lesson the benefits are great :)

Good bit of advice for all learners: when you get to a roundabout side step the clutch with the accelerator,turn the wheels opposite lock and just let the rear end drift right out with the occasional use of the handbreak. Doing this on your test will show the examiner your skill.... GOOD LUCK!! PS a "burnout" at the end of the test will add a finishing touch.

i've got a question..pls someone help me out..
do you have to always use the clutch when you use the break?? if yes,which one will go first?? not for full stop yeah but when you just want to give way, i mean, if you will only stop for 1-2 seconds..
via31arigo 2 years ago
If you are going to just slow down momentarily, you take your foot off the accelerator to use the break gently, then put your foot back on the accelerator to raise your speed back up to what it was. So no clutch. The clutch is used to change gear, which slows the car engine down.
If you need to slow down more, you take your foot off the accelerator to brake gently and use the clutch to go down a gear to further slow the engine. Brake and clutch together is 4 emergency stop.
Hope this helps.
Janclearwater 2 years ago 2
yes, u do need to use the cluch if u r going 2 stop,even if itis only for 1-2 seconds, if u do not the car will stall
chrisdalegend69 2 years ago
use the break first, then put the clutch down wen the engine starts rumbling. then go into first gear before u move off again. if u only need to slow down, and not stop completely, then u wont need to use the clutch, unless u slow down enough to require a gear change, in which case press the clutch and drop down a gear or 2, then back on the accelerator.
brownie060891 2 years ago
Ah yes. BSM, the guys who have, let's say, 'socially problematic' instructors. There was one I had, a bloke in his 60s who chatted incessantly, took calls on his mobile when supposedly instructing, crammed as many people as possible in his car during one lesson, moaned about his money worries, worse still, provided details of his sex life, made racist and sexist comments about passers-by. All this when he's supposed to be teaching. What a awful job it must be to attract that calibre of person.

I think the instruction is made way too technical. It suggests at the start that the varying roundabouts require differing approaches and thereby confusng the learner driver. Another point is the fact that the situation is not realstic. Most roundabouts are like the whacky races and ths instruction could do with some tips on dealing with this latter situation.

Well said. An empty roundabout is one thing. A roundabout full of cars is another, especially when you're in lane 2 and need to take the third exit.

Thanks for the video. I've never been in a roundabout before, and my town JUST finished one and I have my drivers test tomorrow. I'm from america, but I just needed to know the turn signal rules. Thanks.
akway907 2 years ago
In roundabouts it seems very dependent on all drivers understanding right of way and confidently using the rules such when to signal and when not to. If someone signals on and off because of incomptence other drivers can easily get coinfused with the intent actions
Cheeta1020 2 years ago
It's easy really. Just ensure there are no cars coming at you from the right and you're away.
Cloudlesssoul 2 years ago
hmm excuse my ignorance, i'm from the USA, and since everyone here(except california for some reason) is to lazy to make vids like this i'm checking out the UK videos. Are roundabouts suppose to replace a US 4 way Intersection? It seems more effective then an intersection but a little more dangerous. In an American Intersection. Who is aloud to move is very clear and although it causes more traffic it allows everyone to pass confidently when their turn arrives.
Cheeta1020 2 years ago
It's very clear on a roundabout. You ALWAYS give way to traffic on your right. Depending on how far the next entrance to your right is, you might see traffic approaching the roundabout, and hence give way. Otherwise, you don't have right of way until traffic on the roundabout has passed you.
Some larger roundabouts also have traffic light systems. Unfortunately, this means when the lights are out, people don't treat them like roundabouts. Idiots. :/
EkimCF 2 years ago
Actually, you only give way to traffic on the right if you live in a left-hand-drive country. For those of us in right-hand-drive countries, the catch phrase is "look left and go" -- that is, you always give way to traffic on the LEFT.
DroverChicago 2 years ago
Ah well yes, I made the flawed assumption that it was known that we were discussing left-lane-driving. But my point still stands: it's clear when you should give way and when you can go.
EkimCF 2 years ago
It should be. It's dismaying how many Americans are completely befuddled by these things. Those who live in those handful of places where they're commonplace know how to deal with them. Those that encounter one for the first time, well, they might as well be staring at an alien space ship. XD

If your on a roundabout turing right and your in the right hand lane about to turn left to exit the roundabout, when suddenly theres a car in the left hand lane continuing to go around so its blocking you from turning, what do you do? do you continue going around again to exit safely, or do you brake slightly and let it pass you or what?
eggman198 2 years ago
If there is no car following you then it may be safe to brake slightly to left the car on the left pass. If there is a car behind you it may be safer for you to continue round the roundabout and then safely take the exit

Why is it that the car at the turn on to the roundabout before your turn always accelerates onto the roundabout so fast that you miss your chance to pull out? If only everyone pulled onto the roundabout slowly all cars would be able to pull out and the traffic would flow nicely - its all Gordon Brown's fault the one eyed get.
