Double Roundabouts - Complex Junctions

[@cw2126]

PASSED TODAY AT NORRIS GREEN - 3RD TIME LUCKY 👊GREAT CONTENT ILL STILL BE WATCHING👍👍👍 I WAS THE SLOW PARREL PARKER ON RICHARD KELLY EARLY THIS WEEK. SPENT HOURS WATCHING THESE AND A GREAT HELP THEY WERE THANK YOU 👍🚲

[@Joe-uv9jo]

2:47 I'm glad you explained this, I done my CBT the other day and passed.. but I came to a roundabout near Aintree and slowed on the approach, I seen the car approaching the roundabout with a left indicator so continued on as I thought they were turning left first exit. My instructor who overall was quite nice got agitated at me for it even though I felt like I was in the right. Ultimately was a great example on why defensive riding is important for bikers.

[@pawcio12vip]

I am living in Poland and we don't have such rondabouts here. First I thought this is a nigthmare, but now I can see that they really make sense and make traffic smoother. Of course if people know how to drive on them. :) Great video, thanks, Ashley!

[@buses7675]

Really good video that! I drive buses around that a fair bit and the way you've done it is how I take the bus around usually so good to know I'm doing it correctly. One point to be aware of (from the perspective of a bus driver) is that stop on the roundabout itself and that when buses on route 17 even though they are turning right (from Townsend Avenueonto Utting Avenue towards Asda) we have to be in the left hand lane at that point to serve the stop.

Today I passed my exam. Thank you very much for helping us. Today i met you. I followed your “driving test fail “ videos and i got good ideas about how to avoid mistakes and correct way to drive.

[@ashley_neal]

Congratulations on your result. It was good to meet you just after your test!

[@DrSteveDayZ]

test day today at Norris green, nervous but feeling confident , thanks for these videos ashley they have really helped.

[@user-xb5rl6wt5j]

Did you pass?!

[@DrSteveDayZ]

Unfortunately not.. stupid mistake.I’ve rebooked and we go again 😂

[@ananthrajah2743]

Very Very helpful information you've given us good our learners thank you so much sir

[@HanzieTay]

I'm learning to drive at the moment and my bus home from work goes on this exact double roundabout! I concentrate so hard on what everyone's doing haha

[@Harzenpool]

I passed my test in Jan, and I still enjoy learning from your videos! Thanks Ashley! :)

[@ashley_neal]

Nice one :)

[@isaacatkybrown]

Fabulous that Ashley much appreciated!

[@paullearnourway]

Hi Ashley, this is a really useful video as it helps all drivers including my own Hgv lorry learners to understand the lane to use on Hgv tests

[@ashley_neal]

Hi Paul 👋 Hope you're well

[@paullearnourway]

Yes very well. Class 1 is waiting for you ??? @@ashley_neal 🤣 Hope you too are keeping well 👍

[@jonathanguimaraes3824]

Amazing, I was expecting to find similar roundabouts to the one I have in my city in this video not the exact same one I was concerned about 😂. (Liverpool Norris Green).

[@chrisbaker1207]

i live in Germany so its nice to see my home originally coming from Malmsbury Road. Last time I was here was back in the early 90's.

[@katysexton2668]

My test is on Thursday and this roundabout is honestly one of the things I'm most stressed about! I hate it so much, it just throws me every time :( Thanks for the video though, it was good to see all the different routes from someone else's perspective for once!

[@katysexton2668]

I passed! And without having to go round the double roundabout too ☺️😂

[@london5876]

Very informative as always mr Neal. Thank you

[@MoDH22]

Thank u very much teacher to let us know more information about test drive

[@nadim2769]

Thank you for the free lesson! It's really good before I take lessons. Love the drone footage. The car seems like little bugs!

[@ziaahmadi8320]

Thanks Ashley .

[@currentproductions623]

This video was needed!!! Appreciate it!

[@dualbeatsmusic5606]

Ive been advised by my instructor (who works for Ashley neal) that when want to take second exit at second round about you approach the first randabout in the right hand lane and then exit the first round about in the same lane and then the second roundabout as normal using mirror/signal/maneuver

[@ashley_neal]

DualBeatsMusic that would be a good safe option 👍

[@dualbeatsmusic5606]

Ashley Neal spot on, great instructor too!

[@maxybuoi459]

@@ashley_neal So can you do both then? Which one is ideal, I think staying in the left lane is more easier and suitable? :)

[@johnbarnes7245]

got my test Thursday this roundabout makes me sweat thank god I've found this video thank you if i fail its because of this roundabout

[@taranbasi1457]

Imagine doing the magic roundabout in Swindon 😂

[@vibez_kru01]

😂 👍🏾 Actually, the magic roundabout isn’t that bad to manoeuvre around. It’s daunting if you’re a relatively new driver, or unfamiliar with it. I’ve never had any problems there.

[@EinkOLED]

What do you think regarding taking students on the motorway? Amazing drone footage by the way.

[@ashley_neal]

Taking students on the Motorway shouldn’t be a problem for instructors as long as the pupils are good enough. It’s something that instructors do on a regular basis with newly qualified drivers. Thanks for watching and your comments. Ashley

[@HappyfoxBiz]

Australia has had this law for quite a few many years, our Learners and Provisional drivers are limited to 100kph (60mph) and it's essential that they learn this because it's one of the freedoms of travelling, moving at high speed on a motorway. my instructor had me get up to speed safely, adjust to the flow of traffic and merge on safely, it is far better to put learners in a stressful environment with a qualified supervising instructor than to have them attempt to get on the motorway without training which can lead to rear end collisions. While I was displaying my P plates, I have had idiots overtake me using the no mans land before the solid lines turned into broken, once I was legally permitted to take off my P plates the drivers attitudes changed. So I don't feel that the learners or student drivers will be a major issue it is the "fully qualified" drivers that seem to make the most "mistakes" especially on the motorway the best way to iron out those mistakes is to educate the next generation on how to drive in as many situations as practical in as safe as the situation allows.

[@ChrisNeary86]

Visiting home again after a year away, and I always come back to this channel and this video in particular for a refresher. I'm going to try to use roundabout signs to navigate instead of relying on GPS and I can't help but notice this junction doesn't seem to be signposted at all unless you're taking Townsend A580 straight through, following signs for the M57 to St Helens. The other spurs are not labelled on the sign and I didn't see signs on the other entrances to the junction. Is it vandalism, or just the same reason the centre line is imaginary - a lack of city council funding for north Liverpool?

[@Realeye66]

Cheers

[@nosycatUK]

You have a hater who dislikes your lessons. You are great teacher!

[@shiningdiva_2]

Beautiful and very useful video. Now i undarstend how to cross, double roundabout.Thank you for the video!!! I fail 2 days a go with 0 minors, on the way back to the Test Center, 5min before finishing my test. I fail beacuse one motorbike swing from back of the buss front of my car 😣 and the Examinator he break, before me less then a second. Motorbikes with L plates they cause lot of problems on the road, cos they don’t know the Driveway Code. London full with L plates motorbikes, wich they drive so bad and are very dangeourse on the road. DVLA should stop all this trouble makers. My opinion is, If they want to drive they should pass the theory test, FIRST.

[@seblewis6275]

The trickiest would probably be from the exit on the bottom left (of screen), turn right, under the brige, ahead (2nd exit) and take the immediate 1st road on the right (bottom right of screen).

[@sruthinkd1050]

While going from Townsend to utting avenue do we need to use right indicator after the first exit ??Townsend to utting avenue East do we need to right indicator after first exit???

[@Joshlin100]

I don't know if i missed it but this may should silly. if you were approacing the bottom right of the roundabout and wanted to go to the top right, would you need to go round both of the roundabouts or just the first one ? Thanks :)

[@ashley_neal]

Joshlin100 That’s the last clip. Just a right turn on the one roundabout. Thanks. Ashley

[@Joshlin100]

Ashley Neal Cheers Ashley , loving the content at the moment 👍

[@Tim67620]

Christ Ash, what did Liverpool do to deserve that daft road layout. All through the video I was imagining myself using that double roundabout. Anyone who has never been there before would be at a distinct disadvantage. Combined with this is one of my pet hates. Councils insist on planting the Amazon Rain Forest on each roundabout to reduce visibility greatly. I was watching the shots from above and some people were bombing through (locals). It doesn't help that they are advertising for sponsors on boards on the roundabouts, not the time for reading in my opinion. As you said, you could physically not leave the roundabout at some points from the outside lane as the inside was occupied. Good luck to your students and murder that awkward construction. On a side note an instructor once told my daughter to use the right lane of a roundabout to go straight on leaving on a single lane road. I advised her to use the left hand lane as that lane was very commonly used by regular traffic. There were four exits on the roundabout (all single carriageways) and she needed the second. She would most definitely be cutting into regular traffic if she followed his advice.

[@Lee-hz2wl]

are you using a drone to record the round about

[@chrismid259]

Yes.

[@EinkOLED]

Well, he isn't using an enormous tripod.

[@chrismid259]

I've seen enormous tripods before but I think we can say for certain that one isn't being used here ;)

[@Lee-hz2wl]

Thought it might be fotage found online or something props for the extra mile taken

[@bradburyrobinson]

Which lane should you be in if you want to do a figure eight and come back on yourself? Asking for a friend.

[@ashley_neal]

Got to be lane 2 throughout. Not sure why you would need to though? Thanks anyway, Ashley

[@HappyfoxBiz]

question... why do they have a pedestrian crossing... in the middle of 2 roundabouts? isn't it the one reason why roundabouts were conjured into existence so that the traffic flows in all directions without the need for a car to stop inside the roundabout? P.S. Australia gives way to those inside the roundabout, not those to the right, it would make no sense for pupils to give way to others that have not yet entered the roundabout and are blocked by traffic when they themselves have clear chance of you going into the roundabout without obstructing other drivers. Just a tip, in case you wish to come to Australia and are stuck at a busy roundabout for the last 20 minutes

[@Ultima2876]

Happy Fox it’s really common here in the UK to have pedestrian crossings on the entrances (and exits!) of roundabouts. No idea why

[@BadDriversOfAugustaGeorgia]

Am I missing something? Isn't this junction nothing more than two roundabouts that almost touch? If the driver is going a route that takes him from one roundabout through the other, isn't it really nothing more than exiting one roundabout and then giving way as needed prior to entering the second roundabout?

[@Ultima2876]

more or less, but you have to be aware of misleading signals as mentioned in the video.

[@ravenfirepheonix]

For 7:08, on your previous vid about the double roundabout you don't indicate right.

[@dommopp]

Really confused at 4:40 in your video. I am with your school and for this exact turn I am told to be in left hand lane not the right hand lane. My test is Monday and now this has confused me.

[@ashley_neal]

Nope. Left lane doing this turn will fail the test. Although it's safe in my opinion I know what the examiners require. Please email me at [e-mail] and I'll have a word with your instructor if you tell me your name and theirs. I'll keep it confidential if you want :) Ashley

[@ashley_neal]

Good luck Monday 👍👍👍 Ashley

[@dommopp]

Thanks. Have done so!

[@georgehenry8979]

Didn’t realise there were any like this at all -.-

[@Vennnaya]

What about double mini roundabouts? I passed last year and i havent personally driven on a double mini roundabout yet, however the fact that they basically share eachothers driving space by virtue of them being about 2 meteres apart from eachother they seem a little confusing.

[@BK19vo]

Didnt even know these things existed haha, but I'm from The Netherlands

[@doctorsocrates4413]

Strange place for a pedestrian crossing to be located.

[@ladyshep]

They put another zebra crossing right after you come off the second roundabout as your heading towards norris green, recipe for disaster

[@MarkWhite-iy8be]

I live a 5min walk from there

[@jag7371]

Ahh! I hate roundabouts! This is coming from someone in the US.

[@nadim2769]

Mustanglvr007 - they're honestly not as bad as they seem. Just stay in the correct lane and make sure no one is coming before you enter roundabout

[@HappyfoxBiz]

roundabouts are only bad if the DMV doesn't drill into skulls "hey, this is how to work the damn thing" and require it on tests. they are working quite well here in Australia, please visit us soon and you will encounter so many glorious rings.

[@Harzenpool]

Hahaha "Glorious rings" im such a child xD
