Hi, in my opinion Freya started at 10:00 in the middle lane which (according to the marking) allowed only to go straight ahead, 2nd exit. When entering the roundabout, she didn't go into the correct lane, but drove into the lane right next to this lane which physically also led to the 3rd exit. She should've initially taken the rightmost lane up to the 2nd exit, then signalled left and spiraled out. A bit complicated, but I love roundabouts...​@@giovanniiiiillx

passed in Colchester and seeing some of the routes I did in my lessons and actual test makes me see in hindsight how easy some of the things I really thought were hard, just goes for anyone learning now if you think driving is hard/frustrating it get's a lot better the more you drive and the more you learn

Finally passed last week with 0 minors after 12 years of on and off learning! I wanted to give a little something to say thank you! As many people on this channel will agree, your videos were invaluable at supporting my learning- it’s clear how passionate you are and how much effort goes into your content and making it as accessible as possible to different levels of experience By using your tips I was even able to impress my instructor at times (I recommend people to check out your roundabout/mini roundabout lessons in particular) Weirdly, on my first test attempt in the morning, I was 5 mins from returning to the test centre when the dashboard warning lights lit up like a Christmas tree! Of all the things to prepare for, a fault with the car wasn’t one I had considered! Even the examiner was stumped. The test had to be terminated (I was on track for a strong pass) but luckily the car was repaired and I was able to do a second test in the afternoon! 😅 not sure if anyone has had this before? Anyway, good luck to anyone on this channel still on their learner journey, thanks again! 🎉

Watching from Malaysia, have been driving for 2 years. Started watching your videos before I got my license and still love watching them because they're just so enjoyable! The rules here are similar to the UK's so your videos have been a great help. Keep up the good work! 👍

9:49 how is she in the wrong lane at the roundabout when the dotted lane she stayed in went all the way round to the exit without going off into another exit? Also all the large arrows pointed forward (none indicated a right turn) and the sign for the roundabout showed equally thick lines for each exit.

The driver is in the middle lane which is marked to follow the road ahead and turned right. The lane to her right is also marked as able to follow the road ahead. This can easily cause a crash with someone who might have used the right-hand lane to follow the road ahead. In my experience, faults like this have been marked as both a serious for markings and a serious for mirrors change direction, so even if she did notice and check the mirrors on the roundabout, I don't think it's passable.

@joecawte9878

12 күн бұрын

⁠​⁠@@user-mv5zt8qd9l in your example though, wouldn’t that mean the person in the right hand lane who’s trying to exit at the road ahead is not following the 12 o’clock rule so could be at fault? On second review, maybe she should have taken up the left hand lane once she entered the roundabout if she was starting in the middle lane? Maybe that’s what Richard meant

Also I would love to see the full debrief in future!

She's pretty good and confident. Just a bit more practice and she'll be fine.

Got my test tommorow morning so binge watching ahhh

Like you said 1500 examiners and allthough they have guidelines they all have there own slant on a test .Well done to your pupil for taking that pressure .. A good safe driver in the making..

Learning from others mistakes is definitely the best method to learn

Freya deserves a lot of credit for allowing herself to be filmed during such a nerve wracking experience! She is clearing going to be a very good and safe driver when she passes her test

The type of Sat Nav they use on test does tell you which way to turn at roundabouts and the exit number. The second exit on a roundabout could be left, straight on or right depending on road layout. However on test Sat Nav says Go left, Cross the roundabout or Go right followed by 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc. exit. This helps sort out lane choice significantly. If the Sat Nav wanted you to do a U turn it would say Go around the roundabout 3rd, 4th, 5th exit etc.. The actual route as on your unit and the unit on test is displayed as a graphic map with diagram of the layout.

That ending was brilliant 😂😂 But I'm curious @ 8:30 how it's a fault coz there's a road on the left before the exit, or perhaps since its a one way street the left signal wont be misleading. Interesting 😊

@888SpinR

13 күн бұрын

It's because the road joins after the exit rather than on the roundabout. The road sign indicates there is only one exit there and the road markings ahead shows the edge of the roundabout just before the lane splits (albeit the markings aren't the best). The first signal died and she forgot to reapply it on approach.

That roundabout in min 10:00 response to road markings, I get approaching in the lane that is for exist straight ahead but actually middle lane on roundabout she joined did lead her onto third exit as well (as the outer lane). So she did not even have to change lanes to exit roundabout. So lane was drawn in that way to lead you out straight or onto the next right exit. Is that really a mistake to follow that lane if she was indicating right?

I feel like the The roundabout at 10minutes is a fail anyways as there were three lanes. The left most lane was left only. So she was in lane 1 for straight on on approach and the right most lane is the lane 2 for straight on. So after the first exit, she should have already gone the the left most lane on the roundabout straight away, but she went into the middle lane instead, which if there was a car in the right lane, she would have cut that car off at that point.

11:00-ish. If it's two lanes in and (briefly) two lanes out, wouldn't taking the right lane be an acceptable option? I didn't see a right-only arrow on the road.

Why on earth didn't they make the right hand lane a dedicated turn right lane?
