Layout of the second roundabout is quite weird. I guess it's to improve the flow of traffic but if you don't know ahead of time which lane to be in it would be easy to get caught out
I believe this route is no longer used but it's still useful to know. of the 3 lanes between the double roundabout, the left goes left towards A1 south or Axwell Park, the right-hand lane you keep to the right and exit into the right which will take you towards Blaydon (there's a video for this) leaving the middle lane in which you stay to the left around the roundabout which takes you towards the Scotswood Bridge. HTH
With the greatest respect, you should be sceptical how people who have failed their test describe why. If you drive that route, as you're approaching the double roundabout you will see a sign on the left saying the left lane is for taking the A184 Gateshead, and A185 to Newcastle, and the right lane for A185 to Blaydon. Then as you get to the 3 lanes in-between the 2 roundabouts, the left lane markings say left to Gateshead, the middle lane markings say right to Newcastle and the right hand lane says right to Blaydon. This video shows the lane to use to get to the Scotswood Bridge (Newcastle) and is 100% correct. Who should you trust more, a driving instructor with nearly 20 years in the job and over 50 years driving experience or a new driver who failed their driving test?
This was helpful for my driving lesson
