Thank you for another great video. "Mr Audi wants me to speed, that's not going to happen" made me chuckle though
Haha, you're welcome 😊 Thanks for the comment 👍🏻
Given the amount of fails/faults related to roundabouts, cars and bike tests, it's most unusual that there's actually no section for roundabouts (only junctions) on the dl1 (cars) and mod2 (bikes) test report forms. So when the dvsa publish top reasons for failing tests, and often 'observation at junctions' comes out top, in your minds eye you are relating it to crossroads or emerging out of side rds etc.. When they could be mainly roundabout faults. Glad I got that off my chest Leanna haha.
Haha yes you're right! Who knows?! Thanks Graham 😂😉
It's also a huge problem that roundabouts aren't clearly marked or consistently laid out. Having lane markings on the ground (underneath cars) rather than on signs above is another ridiculous feature of UK driving. Yes there are usually signs, but often they are very close to the roundabout meaning that by the time they're legible it's too late if it's busy traffic. The Americans/Canadians don't do everything well, but boy are their roads better delineated and thus easier to navigate.
Too cool for me leanna😅 the heart rate and panic went up just tryin to cram the vid tips in my head.. so I watched it twice. Bloody good vid 🔥 still need to watch again, so I will😁✌️✌️✌️keep rockin 👍
Haha yes sorry there was a lot of talking in that one. More live examples to come next week 😊 Thanks Craig 👍
Passed my MOD 2 yesterday in the 1st attempt with only 2 minor mistakes. Watching your videos really helped, so thank you 😊
@@shershahnazari9529 you're welcome, and well done on the test pass 😊
I failed my mod 2 last week due to following distances and forgetting a lifesaver on a roundabout (I entered in the left lane went strait across and ended up in the right lane without doing a lifesaver, didn't even notice as there was no marking on it) your videos have been super helpful in preparation of my second try :)
Ahhhh, that's a common mistake in training. If there's more than one lane on the approach, work out which one you're in, and even if there's no lane markings, imagine them, and stay in your lane. If you choose to change lanes it needs to be a conscious decision with a lifesaver to move. Better luck next time and thanks for your kind words 😊
Its great you are so local to me too! If you are working at Roadcraft we have met too! My MOD2 is tomorrow morning! There is a lot of contradicting info when to check blind spots at roundabouts online. My instructor on Saturday said I did alright in my few hours with him 😊
Great stuff 👍
Another great video Leanna.
The lorry indicating left on the roundabout was interesting! 🤔 and the van was interesting too 🤣
Ha yes. I think the lorry was signalling to say he needed more room and night come over into the middle lane. Thanks Ian 👍
Interesting one on checking (other drivers) mirrors: talking with my son about filtering in dense traffic: he cycles in central London and we share ‘clues’ that help us both to navigate that sort of situation safely. He has noticed, in London, that many newer vehicles as well as PSV’s have small cameras in place of wing mirrors, so no more clues there as to wether they are looking (or not).
Tons of info there, as usual. Thank you!
Hi Barry, yes you're right, and I hadn't thought of that! But I also look to see if the driver's head is moving if you can see inside the vehicle, so not just looking in their mirrors.
@@motorcyclelessonsuk observation- the lesson that never ends
@@barryconway 😂 agreed!
Hi Leanna, lovely video on roundabouts, definitely not my strong point 🤔but something i practice a lot of 🤭
nice to see you in the front line instead of your students 🤣but i enjoy both 🤣
I was guessing that the lorry was letting you know, to be aware that he could use that lane as well!
i normally think that other drivers are new to the area and will be in the wrong lane and so will change lanes with or without indicating at the last moment! i usually have a few choice words in my head but then tell myself off because i was already ready for them 🤭
safe ride and stay healthy
Kev
Hi Kev, thank you. There's more to come next week! And yes I agree about the lorry, or just seemed strange at the time. Watching it back I suspect you're exactly right 👍☺️ Thanks as always for your comments 😊
@@motorcyclelessonsuk Morning Leanna, 😄
I will be watching out for them I just love them 🤣 information is key and you give it so well!
have a lovely weekend. 🙂
Great help as always 👍🏼
Thanks, much appreciated 😊
Your videos really helped me pass my mod 2 recently. Thank you for all your hard work.
You're welcome. Thanks for letting me know ☺️
UK roundabouts are weird for people that learned elsewhere. In Germany the lanes stay and you have to actively leave the roundabout. 1st time driving here I could understand how I got of wrong (Hanger Lane in London) as I just followed my lane. Took me a few goes to work out the UK system. My brother just visited and he was equally confused.
When I did my motorcycle licence here there is a fairly busy roundabout just outside the test centre in Tolworth (probably outside all test centres). On training we did nearly all variations, on test it was during my self guided ride and I just needed to turn left and realising lane 1 is M&S only so I needed lane 2, which we practiced.
Oh, also a question. If my outside lane is showing as straight in the road markings, do I still indicate left as leaving the roundabout? We have a few of those around here.
Yes it can definitely be confusing when you first encounter them! Well done for getting g to grips with the English system though 👍😊. Always good to practise the tricky roundabouts that could catch you out on test!
We always indicate left to leave a roundabout regardless of the lane marking as we are letting the other traffic know we are exiting the roundabout. I hope that helps 😊 Thank you as always for your comments.
@@GaijinGamerGirl yes, though there are exceptions to this rule: www.gov.uk/guidance/driving-in-the-eu#:~:text=You%20need%20to%20carry%20your,a%20paper%20driving%20licence
@@GaijinGamerGirl you're welcome 😊
I always get multilane roundabouts wrong. I prefer the american system they have no roundabouts.
The roundabouts are fine if your not familiar with the area, but satnav with lane assist helps.
Satnav is a lifesaver
Haha yes sat navs have certainly helped a lot of people out of sticky situations 😬😂
Excellent video, thank you
You're welcome, more to come next week with examples of common mistakes and good practice 😊 Thank you.
Great help thank you
You're welcome 😊
Love your videos massively helping me I passed my mod1 I think that was with help of your videos now I’m book in for my mod2 I’m 95% sure I will fail because my instructor put me in at Rotherham I’m not even from Rotherham or even close to Rotherham so I jumped on my 125 and went for a ride there and its really bad I’ve never ridden a bike in Rotherham people jumping lanes pulling out in front of you and the roundabouts are awful don’t get me wrong I have a 3hr lesson there the day before my test then a hour before my test but I’m really not looking forward to it at all 🤢
Hmmm that's a little disconcerting for you. However I do often say to students who say "I don't know the roads around here", that by the end of the training you should be able to ride in any city in the UK, so to some extent it is about reading the road signs and markings alongside forward planning and anticipation skills. It does help however to have practised the areas where the instructors know the students are most likely to fail. I expect that's what you'll cover in your lesson. Best of luck 🤞
@@motorcyclelessonsuk thank you for taking the time to respond to me and thank you for information I’m hoping I’ll be fine I’ve being going over there on my 125 I’m hoping that will help me to some extent thanks again 👍
@@Cbt_boys_on_125s you're welcome. Well done for making the effort 👍
Can you do an upload on what gear to be in for different size roundabouts .I find 2 for medium roundabouts and 3 for larger roundabouts good. Mini roundabouts perhaps 1 or 2.
Yes, I'll add it to the list. I agree with everything you've said, but I'd probably still get it into 2nd on a mini even if having to stop & change up again once setting off 😊
If there is more than one lane on the roundabout, we should command the centre of our lane (I think). What about if it's a single lane roundabout? If it's a left turn, I guess we stay in position 1, and for a right turn, stay in position 3. But what if we are taking the second exit if it's still left of straight on? Should we stay in position 2, or 1? Thank you very much for this video by the way, it helped me a lot!
Good question. It's up to you to choose your position according to the situation at hand, and adjust your lifesaver to the position you've chosen. Thanks 😊
Sorta a similar issue here, this is a good video. However, as a learner who wants to know the checks and mirrors the examiner is going to be looking for on a roundabout junction is difficult to understand. You do have this completed in this video at times but the way its broken down is quite rushed. Instead of a overly detailed video I would've liked you to tell us what the main things are expected from us right from the start of the video. As I feel like I have to hunt down the main information I'm looking for which is going to prevent losing marks.

Remember there are playlists to look at. This one is in the "Roundabouts" playlist which contains videos with basic information and the more detailed explanations.
Where i live there are 2 mini roundabouts, but they are together, alot of drivers get confused, its a nightmare.
Yes there's one like that in Norwich too. Many people just stop out of confusion which is very frustrating for others who understand how it works! Thanks for your comment ☺️
Hi, couple of questions regarding indicating on multi lane spiral roundabouts
If going right (exit past 12 o’clock) but the lanes spiral out would you still indicate right when entering roundabout even if you end up into lane 1 - or would indicating here cause confusion as you’re indicating right but end up left?
Would this be different depending if traffic light controlled or not?
Also, on spiral roundabout going for exit past 12 so right, but you can take middle lane which will spiral out to the left for your exit, again would indicating right here cause confusion or should you still be indicating right (despite being in middle lane which will become left)
Hope that makes sense
Hi, thanks for the questions. Whenever turning right on any sort of roundabout we signal right, until we pass the exit before the one we wish to take, at which point we signal left to exit. Whenever exiting we are signalling left, so if we are following the lane direction as it spirals out to the left this is not a problem. On a particularly large roundabout if you find yourself needing to actually change lanes to the left, obviously we would not be moving to the left whilst signalling right as this would cause confusion. I hope this helps. Thanks again 😊
@@motorcyclelessonsukgreat, that’s what I thought but you often find conflicting information online.
If my intended exit is right, despite what lane I enter in (based on correct markings etc) be it Middle which spirals out or right which spirals out, I’ve always kept my right indicator on until I’ve passed the last exit before mine and then changed it to a left signal
Also just want to say you’re videos have been really valuable! I have my mod 2 in a couple of weeks 😊
@@SlowerthanfastI think we are saying the same thing here: it's only if you actively change lanes as opposed to following the lane as it spirals out that you would need to cancel the right signal so as not to mislead anyone. I hope that makes sense. Thanks again 😊
You are an expert and excellent teacher/instructor. However, in this video at least, you are crossing the stop line at the signal crossing or moving off the stop line when its red and yellow. Seeing other videos they say we need to wait for the green signal as red and yellow is still classed as a red. Hope you dont mind. Looking forward to your videos.
Give me some time codes please. The camera angle is going to make you think I'm over the line by the way because of how the camera is angled on my helmet. If you can't see the line when I stop it doesn't mean I have gone over it. I'm very strict on this so I doubt you're seeing it correctly. Unless you can give me a clear time code where you think I'm moving off on red and amber, I can't see any instances where this is the case either. I go through two flashing ambers, which is permitted. There is one instance where you can't see the light change to green and I move off as soon as it does. Because I film these for educational purposes I do try to ensure things are done correctly, so at present, having watched it back I can't see what you're referring to.
Lianna I have failed my mod 2 again for the second time he said I nealy passed my mod 2 I was gutted and devastated I was coming to a round about and I was going straight on and there was a car on the left hand side and he said I change lane so it's a fail please help 😊
Hi Andy, it sounds as though you were going straight ahead in lane 2, and you haven't stayed close enough to the roundabout and have cut into the lane on your left, where there was a car in close proximity. When using Lane 2 keep tight to the roundabout (about a metre away from it is good) and when exiting make sure you don't cut over into lane 1. Only change lanes when you INTEND to, & make sure you do the correct shoulder checks. Best of luck 😊
I got a telling off for being on the left of a speed hump as you aren't commanding that lane any longer and give other vehicles potential to come up beside you
Yes, with no oncoming traffic, we tend to go to the right. With oncoming we'd go to the left, or if there are pedestrians close by then slow down and go over the hump.
Hi, If you're turning right on the roundabout, with lane 1 arrow markings indicating "straight ahead/right" and lane 2 indicating just "right", which lane would you be expected to be using?
Hi, if lane 1 is clear with the dual arrow then you should, according to the highway code, be using the left of the available lanes for the direction you want to travel in. If lane 1 is busy with traffic or has an HGV or bus at the start of the queue, you could/should use lane 2 to make progress rather than sit in the queue in lane 1. Hope that helps 😊
@@motorcyclelessonsuk thank you so very much for your reply. I'm enjoying watching your videos and hope to put them to good use on Wednesday for my Mod 2 😊
