- Learners generally don't like spiral roundabouts, with the confusing multiple lanes.
Here's the technique I use with my learners ... keep your eye on the lane to the left of you, work out when it will disappear, and predict when you will become the new left lane.
To me the only issue I find with this roundabouts it's when we need to jump 2 lanes to the left .. also when going all the way around .. because the spiral marks are not designed for drivers to come back around .
Spiral roundabouts are brilliant untill road markings fade away and / or the road sign board is facing away from road as an angry girlfriend
If you can get an understanding of how they work, you kind of know what to expect the road markings to look like, even at a roundabout you've never been to before.
This puts you in a good position to tackle it safely,
@@InclusiveDriving Yeah I know. But that’s too much of experience though! Unfortunately for new drivers like us we will end up going wrong exits (as that’s the only safe thing to do) 😀
Job well done.
10:05 Believe it or not, there are exceptions to this rule. I know a roundabout on the A52 called Bramcote Island. What happens there is that the far right lane cuts through the roundabout, and to take the final exit you need to be in the far left lane. This design catches people off guard very often.
I think this is sometimes called a "hamburger roundabout".
I did know this, I just wanted to mention it because it can be quite confusing.
Lane's should just stay Lane's and not disappear 😂
Tut tut ...speeding at 13:33😅
I'm human!
How can you notice if a roundabout is spiral or just a basic one?
A basic roundabout will have 2 lanes
Spiral will have 3 lanes
Not so, some normal roundabouts have up to 5 lanes. They are all very dangerous for the unwary.
