My biggest nerve is when exiting, if there is another car behind me on the left which I would pull out in front off if i move over.

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

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.

[@Vishaljalindre-dp7px]

I passed my test in 2nd attempt, thanks Dane 🙌🏻

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

[@deepasolomon3921]

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.

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

That certainly would be a good idea for a video and that's why I made it - kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6vWXn9me8xobtE Glad to hear that you found the videos useful and informative and best wishes.

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 ?

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

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.

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..

In the UK we use MSPSL: mirrors signal speed (and gears) position look. Just interesting to see what other countries class as safe driving

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

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.

[@andrewburns8041]

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, 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

[@mariiaandriiash8070]

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?

[@ciaranwatters5720]

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

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

This must be a joke? Are you serious? Where does it state in the Highway code what you are alleging?

[@josephcurran5391]

Hi Dane, you're videos are a great help. Just a quick q, if I'm taking 2nd exit off roundabout which is at 12 o'clock (or very near), must I still do a quick left indicate after passing 1st exit?

Thank you, you must always signal left to leave the roundabout

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.

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

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?

great videos Dane, they are a huge help. I have my test soon and I am wondering about the roundabouts. I always get confused when Im told what exit to take off the roundabout. Is there specific wording the tester will use. Like I understand - First Exit to the Left.. but after that I lose it and it takes me ages to figure it out - especially if there is no sign before the roundabout to tell you how many exits there are on it. Any help appreciated

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

He'll normally say the first exit to the left etc.. Usually the tester will be clear with the directions, if you're not sure just ask them to repeat.

Hi Dane, when you are putting the handbrake up at roundabouts when paused for a few seconds are you taking the car out of gear or keeping foot on the clutch?

Keep it in 1st gear with the clutch pressed in

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 🙏

[@kathyh5463]

@@DaneTygheletsdrive Thanks a million, I was getting conflicting advice on this... Appreciated 🙂

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

There is a few ways to do it so it's not as if one way is gospel. That's just my advice.

[@cobaltutopia]

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!

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

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.

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.

[@MewPassionAngel]

Thank you so much for your extremely helpful videos, Dane! :) Just have a quick question about the car at 7:35, why would they have the right of way to enter the roundabout first?

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

Because they are on the right and moving. I'm on a hill slowing me down

[@MewPassionAngel]

@@DaneTygheletsdrive Ok, thanks Dane!

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

Stay safe

[@myapinion7532]

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.

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

Unless you have some complicated gear stick it should be relatively easy to go from 4th to 2nd gear.

[@neilmurphy845]

What mirrors should you look at or check when you're coming or exiting a roundabout

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

All of them

[@dlmc2451]

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..

[@nrmc2546]

Hi! Just want to ask what should be the right speed when negotiating a round about? Is it the same with junctions as well?

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

What type and size of roundabout? You don't seriously expect to do every roundabout at the same speed? If you are asking a question like this then I'd say you need a lot more driving lessons.

[@tushargkwd]

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!

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

That is very bad practice, roundabouts are designed to keep traffic moving so if its safe just keep going.

[@ranniekapil6646]

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

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

Generally stay central, but keep left on the wider ones.

[@MrGautambanerjee]

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

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

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 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rH7XY4xjqN-bmac

[@mahbuburrahman5265]

Hi Dane for mini roundabout (straight) do I need to signal left when exiting the roundabout or just straight go ahead without signal?

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

Indicate left if you can as you exit

[@SwarnaPundir-vc2fj]

will it possible to add a live video about the positioning of cars on road.

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

Probably not, but I have other videos on position

[@liyingguan2719]

Hi Dane, just wondering if it's possible to ask tester during a test which direction of roundabout we're going? It's just that if i come up to an unfamiliar roundabouts especially the ones with second exit being after 12O'clock position and it's hard to determine which lane i should choose to go in before approaching the roundabout? Any advice on it? THanks so much

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

Yes ask the tester to clarify if you want but he'll say second exit straight or second exit to the right so the words straight and right will help you to demystify the issue.

[@maypadventures964]

nice video btw, how bout if the youre going to 3rd exit and youre in inner lane in the round about, when you enter the road of 3rd exit and it has 2 lanes for entering,which lane will you choose? the right or the left lane?

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

Just don't enter any lane where it has 2 lanes for entering because otherwise you'll be driving against the flow of traffic.

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

Possibly so

[@Sarahdrive841]

Are we allowed to reduce speed before starting the mspsl routine. Say I’m going 60km and I’m in gear 4 as I’m getting close to roundabout can I drop into 3rd gear and once closer start the mspsl routine. Or even just taking the foot off the gas pedal to naturally reduce some speed

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

It's good to slow down early and gradually but when and how much will depend on the situation and how close are you to the roundabout

[@jcokeeffe8]

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.

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

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.

[@marks7885]

Dane for single lane roundabouts are you supposed to keep to the left if you’re going straight ? Or are you supposed to drive in the middle

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

Sort of in the middle but it depends on the width of the lane, there not all going to be the same

[@febbiefigueroa4416]

Hi Dane when is the right time to indicate if your taking the first exit but it's straight (no exit from the left)

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

Halfway through the roundabout

[@shirinboksh7648]

Thanks sir. Sir in mini roundabout should I signal for existing? Or just existing signal when I’m on big roundabout? Some said mini roundabout no need to signal when u exits.

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

Depends on the size, bigger ones yes you could.

[@sushmaroberts7602]

4:00 why don't you use the outside lane? or is that for people approaching the roundabout from other directions?

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

+Sushma Roberts Depends on the situation, but usually left lane is for left or straight and right lane for turning right unless signs or road markings say otherwise.

[@felipesaavedra2001]

Hi Dane, is it mandatory to signal on exiting a mini roundabout? I guess it is, but i am getting lots of conflict opinions about it. Thanks!

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

Every roundabout is different, you are not going to be able to find a simple answer because all roundabouts are unique. So if you can indicate on the exit great, but if it interferes with your steering then don't worry about it.
