I remember those feelings of paralysis as your instructor asks something about the signs, while your brain is already trying decide whether to concentrate on steering the lane, braking for traffic lights, or changing gear.

The 'spiral' means that the design of the roundabout helps you by moving lanes move towards the outside as you go around. I find it's best to keep the lane markings if possible, and let it take you to the outside, and assume the worst of your fellow road users and drive defensively.

I appreciate of this vedio so much. How it is different from the lane changing demonstration clips previously relesed, which was under the driving by Richard who knew the routes perfectly. First, how a new learner as me to read through those signs at driving with only probably several seconds of time, especially if the driver is 2 or 3 lanes from the road shoulders. Second, how the new learner can catch a good timing to change lanes after he/she figure out which lane is right to choose since the sign board seems normally to be set not far from the roundabouts. Anyway, thank a lot for this remider ❤ thanks and congratulations, Domas 🎉 2024 HAPPY NEW YEAR🌹

Saved my pound at Dartford - and spent multiple times that on fuel!! That must have been the year after I passed my test, I think. Good times!

He panicked and crossed into my lane and me! Thanks lorry.

Haha this video came in clutch. Went to spiral roundabouts last week as well. And it can be confusing to people who have yet to try them. The ones I had were 2 big round abouts with 4-5 exits, all had 2 entry lanes and will turn into 3 lanes within the roundabout which are traffic light controlled. The part where you stay in the right lane and switch to the left lane just before your exit when you are about to exit can be dangerous as I see a lot of people not follow the procedure correctly. Like cutting across lanes and other drivers cause they were in the wrong lane for their exit.

It works surprisingly well, however many new drivers or people new to the area get confused.

Personally I don't have much bother with them but I suspect some people get confused by all the crossing lines and lanes and so on just on a cognitive basis. Kind of like dyslexia or something but for road markings. It's a bit strange but I was playing Cyberpunk on the Xbox a few months back and I noticed in things like this the lanes are actually painted different colours as well as slip roads ect. It would probably be better way tbh because sometimes in the rain you can't even see the road markings anyway. I drive a lot around Liverpool and Manchester for work and I think it's in Liverpool where there's one where the road markings have just completely faded. If you're a new driver or foreign it must be a nightmare so it would help with them too

Your videos are simply the best. I cannot wait to watch this one. I have passed in London recently but was not taught roundabouts (the area I learned in has only minis or one big light controlled roundabout. My instructor taught me how to enter and leave it, which lane to take but never explained the rules or how to use other lanes etc.). I am watching KZitem content to prepare for roundabouts in London and pick routes that avoid them for the time being (have been driving for a month only). My question is, how to recognize that a roundabout is not a spiral one? i think spiral ones are easier to tackle as they spiral you out as long as you enter in the right lane. But the ones where you have to change lane yourself before exit is a total mystery to me and i want to be able to recognise them before I enter them. Is there a trick to that? Thank you.
@KindredBrujah
8 ай бұрын
I'm not sure there's a trick to it. You just have to follow the road markings, make sure you're not sitting between lanes and change lanes when safe. Even with the spiral ones they tackled in this video, they went awry here once and had to change lanes to return to where they needed to be.
@ConquerDriving
8 ай бұрын
Spiral roundabouts usually have 3 lanes or more on the roundabout. If it has this many lanes, usually it's a spiral as you can't really leave in the right of three lanes as this may be unsafe so you have to make you way gradually to the outside or middle lane.
