How to deal with roundabouts: Driver training for Indians

Like driving on wrong side of road, often drivers in India cut across rather than go around a roundabout. Much of this is due to lack of know how about how to deal with roundabouts. This video aims to enhance road safety in India by offering video-animation combination covering the 5 rules that help deal with roundabouts effectively.

Good video, excellent information for those who want to learn about roundabouts.

Why is this just for india? As certainly people in UK can benefit tooas well as other countries.

My apologies. When I started filming it was with an idea of making the videos available on a DVD in India, hence the misleading title. I agree with you and some others who share the sentiment that any one irrespective of their background could find the content useful. Cheers.

the roundbaout at 0:34 shouldnt there be two lanes when u approach this roundabout, right lane and left lane, left lane for first and second exit(such as going left or right ahead) and second lane for taking 3rd exit(going right) or 4th exit (making U-turn).. or is it that only some of the roundbouts have 2 lanes approaching to it.

@kawaietbelle

Yes, roundabouts may have just one lane rather than 2 approaching it

i hate driver misleading signal on roundabout

[michalz8888]

@mrsparky786 No, misleading information for turning right on 3 lane roundabout!!! If you willing to turn right and there are 3 lanes on approach you need to use RIGHT lane!!! You should not use a middle one! 1 lane is to turn left 1st exit and to go straight second exit, 2nd lane is to go only straight (you can't turn right!), 3rd lane is to go straight and turn right (third exit).

It has excellent content, Since i am the bose of one of the driver training instiute of state govt. owned in south india which is 30 years old.I found the materal content is simple with clarity.

nice ...

but remember people... the advantage has the car in the outer (1st) lane...

so if you' re going from a second (middle) lane out of roundabout and other car in the first lane stays in roundabout and crashes into you...it's your fault not his.

this is only the case when there are no arrows on the road which lane is for which exit..and most of roundabouts doesn't have arrows.

sorry for bad english
