I'm struggling to understand roundabouts in Newcastle. The lanes change in to two then each in two again n then in three 😲. I had my 1st test coming next week but I preferred rescheduling that for the last week of May. I'm literally drawing roundabouts to understand the signs and road markings.

THere's one near me where the lane markings are so worn out that many people who aren't used to it can't follow them and start drifting all over. I've done that a couple of times too but it's not just me! You've really got to keep an eye out on that one, even if you know where you're going. The number of skid marks on the road are a clue too.

@ThinkDriving

experience is the key with those types, maybe email you local council and ask them to repaint it :)

I wached this video to see how I should drive in a multilane roundabout because here in Germany we try to avoid building them, because there would be to many people making dangerous mistakes.

Thanks for the very informative and helpful video, but even as an experienced driver I feel that no matter how careful or how correctly i navigate these large multiple lane roundabouts, there are so many drivers around you that are getting things wrong that potential conflict with another vehicle always feels like a real possibility, especially with lane discipline being so poor these days. My solution is to alter my route to either avoid these roundabouts altogether, or to enter the roundabout from a lane that allows me to stay on the left and avoid any lane changes. It may add a few miles to a journey but it's a small price to pay to avoid any ugly incidents.

@Olliec1990

3 жыл бұрын

I feel the same way. I've only been driving about six months or so but I tend to avoid roundabouts with many lanes if possible because I feel like even if I do everything correctly, there is no guarantee someone will not take the wrong lane or want to go the same way as me using a different lane and cause a collision. Also where I live has less clear signs and markings than the place in this video which sucks

Wonder who would be at fault if cars come from 6o clock(2lanes),then the one on the left lane goes in to 3rd exit(3o clock)and the one on the right hand lane goes straight(12o clock)...they meet at 12 o clock and crash...

@ThinkDriving

roundabouts differ so much, for example on a roundabout that is on a dual carriage way sometimes you may use the left lane to go right as the people using the right lane to right will come off in the right lane. So really depends on the roundabout. THE BEST BIT OF ADVICE I CAN GIVE YOU IS ALWAYS CHECK ITS SAFE TO EXIT A ROUNDABOUT, IF ITS NOT DON'T TRY AND JUST GO TO THE NEXT EXIT IF THAT IS SAFER. Hope this helped for now until we have time to produce a video on that for you :)

As someone who had this very scenario happen, the ruling will come down to signage. As all three lanes on the roundabout I was on were signposted forward, and only the right lane was signed as also right turn, the guy that hit me (turning right from the left lane) was clearly in the wrong and lost his excess ;) If there are no road markings or signs then standard rules will apply - left for over and left, right for right. If you're ever unsure, proceed slowly!

Brilliant video! May I ask, when you look over your shoulder at 4:16, what speed were you driving at? I find complex roundabouts very difficult unless I drop speed to 15 miles per hour. My instructor tells me to speed up, but I cannot orientate myself on a busy round about if I drive over 20 miles per hour. What do you think?

So the first line is onto the dual carriageway, if you notice as you past that you are going over a bridge which is the dual carriageway. So the second line is the people coming off the dual carriageway. So the second line is not an exit just and entrance for people coming off that dual carriageway. So the third line is the 2nd exit so then Oakridge is he 3rd exit. Have you watched this video, the graphics are better and might help you more? kzread.info/dash/bejne/f22Y09qHer3Hcdo.html
