Passed my Mod 2 about 8 months ago. My instructor told me if you are in the wrong lane it’s ok. Just carry on with all your necessary checks etc and go the way the lane dictates. You won’t fail for going the wrong direction from what the examiner tells you. It’s all about how you ride and is it proper not your navigation skills :)

Hey, B C. You shouldn't really need to change gears on a roundabout, you should be in a gear that's flexible enough to take you round the roundabout, similar to cornering. As for before the roundabout, always approach at a manageable speed and preferably in 2nd, so if it's clear, you can carry on onto the roundabout. If you need to stop then down to 1st. It's really no different to junctions, crossings, traffic lights etc. Look for a good gap then nice smooth clutch and throttle control. Hope this helps. If you're needing anymore info let me know. 🤜🤛

Another great video thank you. I'm definitely going to clarify the life saver situation with my instructor again. I was told off for doing a left hand life saver when approaching an exit and was told to always do a right life saver unless I'm taking the first exit on the roundabout. Me personally I would've thought a left life saver is important incase someone tries to cut in on your left especially a cyclists or another motorcycle, and especially after you've passed a junction, then you can do a right lifesaver. You have made it quite clear that you only need to do a right life saver if there is more than one lane, but my instructor didn't say this. Your theory makes sense thank you. I'm going to double check this on my lesson on Thursday.

On roundabouts you're not turning into a junction, so you have to approach it differently, you're basically approaching the roundabout in the appropriate lane, then moving onto the roundabout. You stay in position 2 while doing this to minimise the chances of other road users trying to pass on either side which is a big no no on roundabout lanes.

Another great video 👍 now become an instructor 👍👍👍

@@MotoEcosse Nice! As I said once before, I think you'd be a natural as an instructor 😁

If you taking the 12 oclock exit, do you need to signal before taking the exit? That is if its the first exit, also, if not, is it an issue to signal?

Hey, Simao. Yep, if the 1st exit is at 12 o'clock still signal to the left as it's still the 1st exit and don't forget that right lifesaver. 🤜🤛

I have mine in a couple of days but I always drive worse when on a lesson , especially round Stirling where you’re driving

Sometimes when you come off a roundabout it will go into two lanes but quickly merge into one. In this case which lane is it better to come off into ?

@MotoEcosse

In cases like that I'd probably favour the left lane. It all depends on road signs, road markings and how busy the lanes are.

@13:17 when you say the roundabout doesn't look like the sign - I can see a first exit to the Business Centre which you went past - if you consider that exit then it matches the sign right ? Or is there a reason why that is not an exit ? Sorry , I just got my CBT done and getting a 125 cc soon so going through a lot of videos to understand the road etiquette better - thank you for this video.

By not matching the sign, I mean the second exit, not the first to the business centre which is still the first exit. The 2nd is past 12 so a lot of people can get confused and use the right lane, when in fact the signs shows the second exit at 12 o'clock for reference so the road user knows what lane to use
