Passed my test in 1st attempt in Dundalk. Booked in cancellation slot the day before. This morning i reviewed ur videos. Thanks a mill. GOSHO, MSPSL were a great help. Be confident when u drive. Dont be panic. You got this.
I've had my license for a short while now & I knew pretty much all of this from my instructor, theory test, knowledge of the law/signage & common sense, but the way it was laid out was grand. I appreciate how you treat driving cars as it is: Piloting a vehicle which often weighs over a ton in varying & unpredictable scenarios. Good stuff!
I binge watched your videos during the month leading up to my test and it was all i ever did the night before! I passed my driving test for the first time yesterday and im over the moon! Keep up the good work, Dane!
I passed My driving test in Cork this morning & I can honestly say your videos helped so much , they’re very informative and to the point! ☺️ Thanks a million !
I passed my test today. Thank you for your videos. It would be beneficial for applicants like me for a video with different roundabouts, like a roundabout with left lane only to go left and right lane to go straight and right. On my last test I exited into right lane on going straight, when I was supposed to take left lane on exiting. I think there will a lot out there like me who don’t know that. Thank you once again for all good videos.
That certainly would be a good idea for a video and that's why I made it - ruclips.net/video/izs-L0Fg58o/видео.html Glad to hear that you found the videos useful and informative and best wishes.
As I have not driven for over 20 plus years and having had a couple of refresher driving lessons, I find this lesson very informative and useful. Thank you.
You'd probably be no worse than some of the drivers out there on roundabouts 😊 But thank you very much and best wishes with your driving, it's never too late to start or in your case make a return to the driving 👍
Ash I understand what you mean and one piece of advice to deal with that is not to be too slow when you are on the roundabout. Driving too slowly could invite vehicles behind to get beside you, be sure to check the mirrors exiting and perhaps a quick shoulder check will help reassure you.
I'm a Canadian who has done 3 extensive driving trips through the UK. These videos are invaluable for those of us who have a more limited exposure to roundabouts. I watched a number of these before taking delivery of my hire car and was very happy that I did. ( I owned standard transmission cars for the last 50 years but always hire an automatic transmission car for UK driving and was glad that I did. ) One thing that I learned was to never enter a roundabout on the outside lane when there was a car approaching even if it was on the inside lane because you just know that the other car has to exit and you need to just stay out of the way. One thing that could use some more explanation is that at 2:36 the driver exits the roundabout directly from the inside lane potentially cutting off any vehicle that may have been in the outside lane. I assume that is normal. I would have expected him to have changed lanes first ( even though the distance from entering to exiting was short ). Presumably if there was a vehicle to your left, you would have yielded the right of way ?
What I did at 2.36 is completely normal, I am basically changing lanes and exiting the roundabout at the same time, the left lane in this case is for turning left but I checked my mirrors to ensure that it was safe.
Thanks so much for your help Dane. I passed my test earlier this week, and so I just wanted to say your videos were a great resource in the lead up to it. Any little doubts or questions I had were quickly put in their place when I'd watch your videos, and it helped me remain calm and measured for the test. Keep up the great work on your videos, and thanks again.
Dane Tyghe It's confusing during exit if a car is following me and want to exit third roundabout can result in collision. What speed Max should be on roundabout? It is not obeyed by people the rule one person at a time be using round about? Please throw some light here. Thanks
I've been having some trouble with roundabouts and I've been finding these videos so helpful. Though it also helps that these are my local roundabouts, having videos that tell me clearly what to do with the more quirky ones is reassuring!
Thanks for the video Dane. I like the mini at 4:39 that drives over the traffic button! The tips about blind roundabouts are great, and creeping out until the driver gets a line of sight is brilliant advice. It's always great seeing the many different roundabout configurations in other countries. Cheers Rick
Hi Dane - you're soon going to be celebrating your 1000 subscribers - that's the hardest part of RUclips. After that, it's relatively easy. All the best, Cheers Rick
Dear Dane, I passed my Irish Driving test today in first attempt. I watched your videos and bought and studied the book GET IT. You are amazing and I learnt so much by watching your videos. Dr. Ali
Hi Dane just to share i had my driving test yesterday in Waterford sadly I did not passed one of my the are Faults is in round about the Tester told me that I should not leave a wide space on the left if i am going to 2nd exit because the way I done it I really do the C share of the roundabout I used doing it because my driving instructor told me that i should do that when entering the round about going to 2nd exit.. Its my 1st try to do the driving test and I'am Grateful to the experience at least i now i can able to correct the mistakes i had failed in my driving test.. Thank you for sharing your skills and experience to us as a learner driver as myself as a learner i would like to learn proper,safely caring to others road user because end of the day I'am responsible to another human being and that person family in the road.. Thank You i will just keep watching your videos on driving until one day I succeed, May God bless and protect you always and the rest of your family...
I've my test in two weeks and this is even better advice than any of my instructors... There's a difference in of opinion on how to manage roundabouts. Thanks for this.
You have made me a more relaxed driver. My test is in 3 weeks and I keep watching the videos. Soooo helpful and easy to understand. Keep up the good work. Still nervous for the reverse around the corner and the turn about. My name is Mrs O'connor

In the right way and the Mini Roundabout. Keep to the right when turning at it. But to be careful and watch out for anyone coming. Especially the people and cyclists all the time to. The Blind Roundabout which is more harder then the other ones. But to be more careful and SPOT. To go by how to approach and leave it. In the correct way. So that'll be good.
@@DaneTygheletsdrive But some testers, considered it as driving fault, as coasting. Which is ridiculous really, even if you don't press the clutch down yet, coming down to the runabout. Just getting ur foot ready. If u know what I mean.
PASSED, FIRST TRY. A huge thank you to Dane Tyghe (Let’s Drive) for his amazing driving training preparation videos, which were instrumental in helping me pass my driving test this morning! I also want to acknowledge the invaluable resources from ADM Driving School that greatly aided my preparation. Special thanks to my instructors, Anton and Gabby, who took my driving skills to the next level. After my first instructor (with whom I did 12 lessons) refused to hire me his car, I was fortunate to connect with Anton and Gabby, who truly made a difference. Grateful as well to FlexiDrive, which enabled me to hire Gabby’s car just a day before the test. For learners: stay confident and don’t let fear take over-you’ve got this! My test went well overall, though I made a few mistakes in Observation Moving Off and Reverse Around the Corner (Competency and Observation). I was careful not to touch the kerb while reversing, and even adjusted to improve. Always observe carefully, maintain proper positioning, and keep a steady speed. Lastly, I prayed for God’s guidance before starting, and it brought me peace. Good luck to everyone preparing-you can do it! 🚗✨😂
Thanks! Had only 2 days to prepare for 2nd attempt and passed :) I failed the first time because of a roundabout mistake.. your videos definitely helped^^
I got my Driving License in Ireland but learned to drive in the UK, The Round about rules in Ireland are inconsistent and actually increase your risk of an accident. Let me explain. In the UK you only enter the left lane if you are taking the next exit. So for first exit you take left lane for second you take right but indicate and move to left immediately after first turn. for Third you stay in right lane until immediately after second indicate and move to left and if you want to double back you stay in right lane then indicate and move to left lane after third exit. Really easy and consistent. on Roundabouts with multiple lanes its really easy too. on a 4 lane roundabout counting from left to right First exit Lane 1. Second exit Lane 2 then move to lane 1 after first exit. for 3rd exit lane 3 moving to lane 2 after first exit and lane 1 after second exit easy consistent everyone doing the same thing no risk of an accident. I live in a border town and it is frightening when both rules are applied, I noted in our video you crossed lane 1 and just about made your exit, if someone was in lane 1, taking their second exit, when you did that move there would have been an accident, watch again see for your self. One last frightening thing about Irish roundabouts are road signs blocking your view to your right approaching roundabouts, its everywhere so I not picking on one specific town but in Dundalk it is bad, I am actually really surprised there are not more accidents on roundabouts, as the rules are different for each derestriction. turn 1 and 2 are exactly the same turn 3 different that is what caused accidents
I have failed my test 3 times and tomorrow is my fourth attempt ! Ive just found tour videos and they are very helpful thank you! My biggest problem is anxiety i believe, and probably bad habbits at this stage like coasting. Ive practiced loads gotten lessons and still failed. Hopefully 4th time lucky
@@DaneTygheletsdrive i failed again not as bad as the last two times but i need now to focus on my clutch and gears i was hoping to resit at easter but thats gone out the window now. I honestly dont think ill ever pass
Hi Dane! Is it important to always stop at the line with the yield sign near the roundabouts? I tend to stop at the line even when it's empty, is that a bad practice? Thanks!
My husband told me not to use the hand break while I am waiting to cross the roundabout because I have to be ready to move when the time comes but I have seen you used your handbreak when you see you will be waiting for a while to cross so what is correct?
What I recommend in this video is not meant to be representative of Irish driving instructors, it's just my way of teaching and I try to encourage the use of acronyms that make sense and are easy to remember. That MSPSL is good advice but it doesn't really roll off the tongue.
i would love to see the gear and the clutch while you are doing the round about. that will be very helpful, as i am so confused on R/A not on how to approach it but im so confused with gears and my foot using clutch & brake :(
I wasn't sure if that car was going straight, if he'd suddenly turned as I pulled out them I'd be in the wrong. In Ireland indicators don't mean much on roundabouts.
@@DaneTygheletsdrive Thank you for clarifying. I had my driving lesson on Friday and was in the exact same position and the instructor told me it was safe to go and I didn't, thinking the same as you have just explained (I was not sure if the car was going straight).
@@zuzol735 Yes I know what you mean, it can be tricky to decide especially at the smaller roundabouts, it would have been ok for me to go but then again you have to use your best judgement at the time. I always say if you're not sure just wait because the consequences for waiting are usually less drastic than the consequences for pulling out too quick. If I wasn't doing a video I probably would have went.
Mr. Tyghe, at about 7:36 minutes in, a lady in a black car at the roundabout on your right, you say she has the right-of-way. Why is that - do the people on your right always have the right of way? Thank you. I'm a slightly terrified American watching your videos to determine if I should rent a car in Ireland.
Hi Dane, i enjoy it was good and constructive and explicit am glad i have learnt some thing new which will boast my confidence hope to pass my test without sweat, thanks kindly.
Hey Dane, I have my test tomorrow and I did two pre tests yesterday ( I’m fine on roundabouts on my own but my instructor told me last night I would have gotten a grade 3 and failed) I seem to get flustered when being told which exit to take! Can I ask at 8.04 onward why you went into the right hand lane to take the second exit? I’m really struggling to wrap my head around that sometimes you have to take the second exit on the left but sometimes on the right :( Your videos are so so helpful by the way thank you.
Planning is important, you need to pay close attention to the signs and markings. The road sign and markings directed me into the right lane. This is clearly explained in the video, did you watch it all?
Thank you for creating such helpful videos 🙏🏻 One question; before exiting a roundabout, do you always have to do a shoulder check? Or is checking the mirror of the direction you indicated to come off enough?
Hi Dane, thanks for your video's. When driving an automatic, is neutral and hand break on always best practice at traffic lights and in stopped traffic? Thank you 🙏
You're welcome. For an automatic handbrake first then wait in drive usually but you could wait in neutral if stopping a long time or if you're further back in the queue.
Hi Dane, I have a question about mini roundabouts. I drive through one similar to the one here at 6 minutes 30 seconds in. So there’s 3 exits. If I’m approaching, and the traffic on my right is at a standstill, giving way to traffic on their right (on my left) and that traffic to my left keeps coming, is it ok to slowly move in as the traffic to my left should be yielding to me? Hope I’ve gotten that visual across
Thank you for the tips👍 In your video, I see many cars driving on the white circle in the middle of the small roundabout. I wonder if you get grades in case you cross that white circle?
If a car is already on the roundabout and you know that there is suitable gap as the roundabout is big. Still should we be processing despite the fact the other car is on your right side?
Hi @Dane, the video is great! however, when you say slow down while approaching round abouts, I have three questions 1) what should be the distance from the roundabout when we start the slow down? 2) what should be the speed of the car when it is slowed down? 3) does the above two applies while approaching ramps as well? would appreciate your response. Thanks//Gautam
It's going to depend on the roundabout, I can't give you a speed or distance. I recommend getting driving lessons because you still have a lot to learn. This should help you with the ramps ruclips.net/video/vMt2Y-szhcE/видео.html
I've failed my test once in Dublin, but I'm from Wexford so i could do my tests again in Wexford with my parents car. Would you recommend it? I did another lesson recently in Dublin and realised some of the roads are much more complicated in Dublin.
I live in London, and there's a very, very, very, busy roundabout with 6 exits and 3-4 lanes. Please which lane should i be on, if coming out of the 5th exit and going round to exit at the 6th exit? Please Help.
+Shola Sola That's a tough one Shola, I'd need to see it to give you a definite answer. But try be alert to any signs and markings such as directional arrows.
Dane, thanks for replying me. The roundabout in particular is called "Rosehill Roundabout". Type it on Google it will come up. i just did, and it came up.
During driving test if we are in busy car parking lot and doing forward car park menuver in right side and we enter in bay and a car enter in our front bay so in this case we will stop our car or if a car park in our front bay or some one coming out from car so in these cases we will stop our car an
Not really sure I understand what you are asking but I'll try. You should stop and apply the handbrake if you think that someone else (person walking) is close by but if it is cars you should be okay as long as you see each other. It depends on the situation as every time is different.
We should demond government make rule for straight 2nd exit always outer lane like 1st exit . 1,3,4 no issue as always same rule with 12 clock rule only rule changes for 2nd exit and some time road marking cover with front vehicle, if government always apply default rule for 2nd straight exit then more safer , Safety should more preference than slowness of traffic
thank you very much for your video.i want to ask you is it always necessary to change to 2nd grear at roundabout when there is no traffic from the right
Hi Dane. At 6:43 a black car is approaching on the right, but he’s turning left. Seeing as he was turning left, and the blue car behind him wouldn’t be able to enter the roundabout until the black car exits left, could you have, because you would have had time. Or were you just being extra cautious? I hope that makes sense. Thanks.
Actually I think the amount of people you help...you might deserve some humanitarian prize of something! I am studying your videos and practising with friends and teachers before I (ACE the) test in a month... and Reading the comments is so encouraging!
You're very kind, I just enjoy helping learners achieve their driving goals through RUclips, best of luck with your test and you can email me at danetyghe@gmail.com if you have any questions or concerns.
Failed my driving test the other day because I messed up reverse around the corner not one fault more everything was perfect he said just my wheel touched of the kerb is that an automatic fail ?
2nd time I failed 4 grade 2 for roundabout as taking time to enter roundabout last time 3rd grade as so quick to enter roundabout. Examiner should think slower is not issue as 2 years N permits and driver can develop skill over the perio of time . All Lerner not Irish native and lot of Lerner driver do not have any one to sit as copassenger
I'm being taught to go straight from 4th to 2nd gear coming up to a roundabout or junction, rather than coming 'down the gears'. I keep getting into a pickle going straight across 4th to second, get totally stuck sometimes, where the car comes to a halt, as obviously not in any gear. Happened one day actually on a roundabout as l ran out of momentum trying to get the chuffing thing into 2nd. It just wouldn't go.
Hi Dane I have my test this Friday and really struggling with spiral roundabouts that I will definitely come in contact with on the route ,any tips would be much appreciated
When you're coming up to the roundabout and you're in 2nd gear and you're not sure if you're going to stop and you're still slowing down do you put your clutch in, brake and go into first ready to move off, or do you go into first and engage it straight away anticipating you'll come to a stop? I've been taught cruising is dangerous as there's no engine breaking but if you're coming to a stop and moving slowly is it okay to coast and change into first to anticipate a stop? Then if you haven't stop I guess you apply more revs and try to get it into second before you have to steer round the roundabout . Sorry for the essay it's just some struggles I've been having!
There's absolutely nothing wrong with rolling into first gear in the situation you described, sometimes you its the best option as it gives you time to assess and decide. Coasting is not a problem if you are in first gear or reverse gear.
Hi Dane, what is the position if going straight on a single lane roundabout? Do we stay in the centre of the lane till we pass the island of the 1st exit or do we stay left like we would do if there were 2 lanes? Thanks

I was careful not to touch the kerb while reversing, and even adjusted to improve. Always observe carefully, maintain proper positioning, and keep a steady speed.
Lastly, I prayed for God’s guidance before starting, and it brought me peace. Good luck to everyone preparing-you can do it! 🚗✨😂
Thanks for making these helpful videos Dane. I finally passed my driving test.
Well done, glad you like them 🤗
Just passed my exam today on my first try. Thanks for all the tips.
My pleasure, congratulations
Thanks! Had only 2 days to prepare for 2nd attempt and passed :) I failed the first time because of a roundabout mistake.. your videos definitely helped^^
That's great news, congratulations on your successful achievement.
Roundabouts are definitely gonna get me but binging these vids help
Best of luck
@@DaneTygheletsdrive theory test tomorrow 😮😮😮😮
How'd it go?
I got my Driving License in Ireland but learned to drive in the UK, The Round about rules in Ireland are inconsistent and actually increase your risk of an accident. Let me explain. In the UK you only enter the left lane if you are taking the next exit. So for first exit you take left lane for second you take right but indicate and move to left immediately after first turn. for Third you stay in right lane until immediately after second indicate and move to left and if you want to double back you stay in right lane then indicate and move to left lane after third exit. Really easy and consistent. on Roundabouts with multiple lanes its really easy too. on a 4 lane roundabout counting from left to right First exit Lane 1. Second exit Lane 2 then move to lane 1 after first exit. for 3rd exit lane 3 moving to lane 2 after first exit and lane 1 after second exit easy consistent everyone doing the same thing no risk of an accident. I live in a border town and it is frightening when both rules are applied, I noted in our video you crossed lane 1 and just about made your exit, if someone was in lane 1, taking their second exit, when you did that move there would have been an accident, watch again see for your self. One last frightening thing about Irish roundabouts are road signs blocking your view to your right approaching roundabouts, its everywhere so I not picking on one specific town but in Dundalk it is bad, I am actually really surprised there are not more accidents on roundabouts, as the rules are different for each derestriction. turn 1 and 2 are exactly the same turn 3 different that is what caused accidents
This must be a joke? Are you serious? Where does it state in the Highway code what you are alleging?
I have failed my test 3 times and tomorrow is my fourth attempt ! Ive just found tour videos and they are very helpful thank you! My biggest problem is anxiety i believe, and probably bad habbits at this stage like coasting. Ive practiced loads gotten lessons and still failed. Hopefully 4th time lucky
Best of luck.
@@DaneTygheletsdrive i failed again not as bad as the last two times but i need now to focus on my clutch and gears i was hoping to resit at easter but thats gone out the window now. I honestly dont think ill ever pass
I bet she did
Very very good video, appreciate!
Thanks very much for your support
Informative lectures even better than my instructor.. Thank you for all efforts you did.
My pleasure, take care 👍
Hi Dane! Is it important to always stop at the line with the yield sign near the roundabouts? I tend to stop at the line even when it's empty, is that a bad practice? Thanks!
That is very bad practice, roundabouts are designed to keep traffic moving so if its safe just keep going.
Happy Saint's Patrick's Day.
Hopefully you have a nice weekend.
Still watching your video. Tomorrow is my test at Wilton Cork. :)
Best of luck
Hi Dane, at smaller roundabouts where there is no zebra crossing but the kerb dips - is this a pedestrian crossing? Many thanks, Eadaoin
Not a crossing where pedestrians have an automatic right of way
Thanks sir great
Best wishes
Thanks for the many information that helped me pass and I'm still applying.
Best wishes
My husband told me not to use the hand break while I am waiting to cross the roundabout because I have to be ready to move when the time comes but I have seen you used your handbreak when you see you will be waiting for a while to cross so what is correct?
Your husband is correct, he knows way more than me, trust him. Not me.
Good review! It really helped me.Thank you!
+balan tiberiu glad to hear best of luck with the driving
Very good but second exit right lane. Do you need signal right before cone in roundabout then signal left ok? Thay you
Great video Dane, well done
Stephen O Brien thank you Stephen 👍
Great vids. Very helpful
Best wishes
In the UK we use MSPSL: mirrors signal speed (and gears) position look. Just interesting to see what other countries class as safe driving
What I recommend in this video is not meant to be representative of Irish driving instructors, it's just my way of teaching and I try to encourage the use of acronyms that make sense and are easy to remember. That MSPSL is good advice but it doesn't really roll off the tongue.
Thanks for helping us .
You're welcome
i would love to see the gear and the clutch while you are doing the round about. that will be very helpful, as i am so confused on R/A not on how to approach it but im so confused with gears and my foot using clutch & brake :(
ruclips.net/video/s7QjfXslfm0/видео.html
Please check out the video above
I would have start going at 6:51 because the silver car was going straight through the roundabout and you had sufficient time to take off.
I wasn't sure if that car was going straight, if he'd suddenly turned as I pulled out them I'd be in the wrong. In Ireland indicators don't mean much on roundabouts.
@@DaneTygheletsdrive Thank you for clarifying. I had my driving lesson on Friday and was in the exact same position and the instructor told me it was safe to go and I didn't, thinking the same as you have just explained (I was not sure if the car was going straight).
@@zuzol735 Yes I know what you mean, it can be tricky to decide especially at the smaller roundabouts, it would have been ok for me to go but then again you have to use your best judgement at the time. I always say if you're not sure just wait because the consequences for waiting are usually less drastic than the consequences for pulling out too quick. If I wasn't doing a video I probably would have went.
@@DaneTygheletsdrive I get your point. Thank you for your explanation. Your videos really help me.
Glad to hear that, best wishes
You make it look so easy, thank you, Sir you are so helpful. 💪😎
Best wishes
Mr. Tyghe, at about 7:36 minutes in, a lady in a black car at the roundabout on your right, you say she has the right-of-way. Why is that - do the people on your right always have the right of way? Thank you. I'm a slightly terrified American watching your videos to determine if I should rent a car in Ireland.
Hi Dane, i enjoy it was good and constructive and explicit am glad i have learnt some thing new which will boast my confidence hope to pass my test without sweat, thanks kindly.
Glad to help, best of luck with the driving test
Could you do a video on the roundabout heading to tullow by lidl in carlow? So hard!
Maybe some day, what's the story with them?
Hey Dane, I have my test tomorrow and I did two pre tests yesterday ( I’m fine on roundabouts on my own but my instructor told me last night I would have gotten a grade 3 and failed) I seem to get flustered when being told which exit to take! Can I ask at 8.04 onward why you went into the right hand lane to take the second exit? I’m really struggling to wrap my head around that sometimes you have to take the second exit on the left but sometimes on the right :(
Your videos are so so helpful by the way thank you.
Planning is important, you need to pay close attention to the signs and markings. The road sign and markings directed me into the right lane. This is clearly explained in the video, did you watch it all?
Thank you for creating such helpful videos 🙏🏻 One question; before exiting a roundabout, do you always have to do a shoulder check? Or is checking the mirror of the direction you indicated to come off enough?
Hi Dane, thanks for your video's. When driving an automatic, is neutral and hand break on always best practice at traffic lights and in stopped traffic? Thank you 🙏
You're welcome. For an automatic handbrake first then wait in drive usually but you could wait in neutral if stopping a long time or if you're further back in the queue.
@@DaneTygheletsdrive Thanks a million, I was getting conflicting advice on this... Appreciated 🙂
There is a few ways to do it so it's not as if one way is gospel. That's just my advice.
Regarding the 12 o clock rule would you take the inside lane on every roundabout if 2nd exit is past 12
Hi Dane, I have a question about mini roundabouts. I drive through one similar to the one here at 6 minutes 30 seconds in. So there’s 3 exits.
If I’m approaching, and the traffic on my right is at a standstill, giving way to traffic on their right (on my left) and that traffic to my left keeps coming, is it ok to slowly move in as the traffic to my left should be yielding to me? Hope I’ve gotten that visual across
Thank you for the tips👍 In your video, I see many cars driving on the white circle in the middle of the small roundabout. I wonder if you get grades in case you cross that white circle?
It's fine to drive over the white thing if you've no other options.
useful video for many drivers
Thanks
@7:18 - Should you have been indicating left as you approach and enter the roundabout as you were taking the first exit?
Not if it's 12 o clock
@@DaneTygheletsdrive understood. Thank you.
Stay safe
Thanks
👍
If a car is already on the roundabout and you know that there is suitable gap as the roundabout is big. Still should we be processing despite the fact the other car is on your right side?
Yes it should be fine providing you move off quickly enough and don't obstruct the other vehicle
Hi @Dane, the video is great!
however, when you say slow down while approaching round abouts, I have three questions
1) what should be the distance from the roundabout when we start the slow down?
2) what should be the speed of the car when it is slowed down?
3) does the above two applies while approaching ramps as well?
would appreciate your response.
Thanks//Gautam
It's going to depend on the roundabout, I can't give you a speed or distance. I recommend getting driving lessons because you still have a lot to learn.
This should help you with the ramps

What mirrors should you look at or check when you're coming or exiting a roundabout
All of them
Do you have any videos on going down through the gears when approaching a roundabout? I’m always either chugging or slow down way too soon..

I've failed my test once in Dublin, but I'm from Wexford so i could do my tests again in Wexford with my parents car. Would you recommend it?
I did another lesson recently in Dublin and realised some of the roads are much more complicated in Dublin.
I live in London, and there's a very, very, very, busy roundabout with 6 exits and 3-4 lanes. Please which lane should i be on, if coming out of the 5th exit and going round to exit at the 6th exit? Please Help.
+Shola Sola That's a tough one Shola, I'd need to see it to give you a definite answer. But try be alert to any signs and markings such as directional arrows.
Dane, thanks for replying me. The roundabout in particular is called "Rosehill Roundabout". Type it on Google it will come up. i just did, and it came up.
Shola Sola perhaps these videos could help you

Sie please reply my comment
Not really sure I understand what you are asking but I'll try. You should stop and apply the handbrake if you think that someone else (person walking) is close by but if it is cars you should be okay as long as you see each other. It depends on the situation as every time is different.
Thanks mate good tips
My pleasure
We should demond government make rule for straight 2nd exit always outer lane like 1st exit .
1,3,4 no issue as always same rule with 12 clock rule only rule changes for 2nd exit and some time road marking cover with front vehicle, if government always apply default rule for 2nd straight exit then more safer ,
Safety should more preference than slowness of traffic
will it possible to add a live video about the positioning of cars on road.
Probably not, but I have other videos on position
thank you very much for your video.i want to ask you is it always necessary to change to 2nd grear at roundabout when there is no traffic from the right
Normally but it depends on the situation, if its a bigger roundabout you should be OK in 3rd
Hi Dane. At 6:43 a black car is approaching on the right, but he’s turning left. Seeing as he was turning left, and the blue car behind him wouldn’t be able to enter the roundabout until the black car exits left, could you have, because you would have had time. Or were you just being extra cautious?
I hope that makes sense. Thanks.
I could have went yes but it was 50 50 and I suppose I was just conscious that they could pick up speed on the downhill.
I wish i lived in wexford!
Actually I think the amount of people you help...you might deserve some humanitarian prize of something! I am studying your videos and practising with friends and teachers before I (ACE the) test in a month... and Reading the comments is so encouraging!
You're very kind, I just enjoy helping learners achieve their driving goals through RUclips, best of luck with your test and you can email me at danetyghe@gmail.com if you have any questions or concerns.
@@DaneTygheletsdrive YOu are tooo kind !!!!

Failed my driving test the other day because I messed up reverse around the corner not one fault more everything was perfect he said just my wheel touched of the kerb is that an automatic fail ?
If it touched it then it shouldn’t be. If your wheel actually fully got onto the kerb then yes .
There is no automatic fail from hitting the kerb, it depends on how you hit it.
2nd time I failed
4 grade 2 for roundabout as taking time to enter roundabout last time 3rd grade as so quick to enter roundabout.
Examiner should think slower is not issue as 2 years N permits and driver can develop skill over the perio of time .
All Lerner not Irish native and lot of Lerner driver do not have any one to sit as copassenger
It's tough sometimes but that's life. There's no short cuts.
I'm being taught to go straight from 4th to 2nd gear coming up to a roundabout or junction, rather than coming 'down the gears'. I keep getting into a pickle going straight across 4th to second, get totally stuck sometimes, where the car comes to a halt, as obviously not in any gear. Happened one day actually on a roundabout as l ran out of momentum trying to get the chuffing thing into 2nd. It just wouldn't go.
Unless you have some complicated gear stick it should be relatively easy to go from 4th to 2nd gear.
very helpful video
Glad you liked it 🙂
Hi Dane I have my test this Friday and really struggling with spiral roundabouts that I will definitely come in contact with on the route ,any tips would be much appreciated
What do you find difficult?
When you're coming up to the roundabout and you're in 2nd gear and you're not sure if you're going to stop and you're still slowing down do you put your clutch in, brake and go into first ready to move off, or do you go into first and engage it straight away anticipating you'll come to a stop? I've been taught cruising is dangerous as there's no engine breaking but if you're coming to a stop and moving slowly is it okay to coast and change into first to anticipate a stop? Then if you haven't stop I guess you apply more revs and try to get it into second before you have to steer round the roundabout . Sorry for the essay it's just some struggles I've been having!
There's absolutely nothing wrong with rolling into first gear in the situation you described, sometimes you its the best option as it gives you time to assess and decide. Coasting is not a problem if you are in first gear or reverse gear.
At 2:18 would the 'second exit' not be right around the roundabout and back where you came from, as the 'first exit' is clearly marked as blocked off?
No it's still counted as an exit according to the testers but I take your point.
@@DaneTygheletsdrive thanks for the reply Dane 👍
Hi Dane, what is the position if going straight on a single lane roundabout? Do we stay in the centre of the lane till we pass the island of the 1st exit or do we stay left like we would do if there were 2 lanes? Thanks
Generally stay central, but keep left on the wider ones.
