Hi! thank you for these videos, If possible can you make these videos in a higher resolution, and also can you create a map of where you do go on each driving route so learners (such as myself) can practice these routes

[@norberthhhhh]

I wish u was my examiner haha. I have my test day on 28th June. Wish me luck!

[@sebastiantr6418]

Hello sir, I would like to ask one more doubt, if I coming from the exam center to junction 9 roundabout, and I need to take 4 th exit (Pytchley road). So should I keep middle lane or Right lane. Thank you

[@RDriveSchoolofMotoring]

Rather than trying to remember every combination you need to look at each roundabout logically and make decision. On approach you have two lanes, left and right, On that roundabout you have six exits if you include doing a U turn back to Kettering. How would you divide x6 exits evenly between two lanes?

[@jackhaynes275]

Hi, Do any test routes include the pytchley cross roads?

[@RDriveSchoolofMotoring]

Hi, About 1/3 of tests will go through the Pytchley staggered cross roads. Either at the beginning of test from Kettering DTC or coming back in the other direction towards the end of your test

[@ronygeorge4976]

Hello sir, I would like to ask a doubt, if we approaching the junction 9 roundabout from Kettering Park Hotel, and I need to take the 4 th exit (A14 towards Junction 8) So, which lane I should keep in the roundabout

[@RDriveSchoolofMotoring]

Hi Rony, Thanks for the question. You take the right-hand lane and signal right, then signal left after the 3rd exit (Pytchley) and move across to exit onto A14 Midlands (after good observations on left-hand side of course!) If you take this route on the test, it will probably be via the satnav. The examiner will pull you over on the left by the hotel, and explain that the satnav will tell you to take the fourth exit and follow the road ahead. He will explain that the satnav is wrong, so the examiner will then tell you to take the 'fourth exit right'. So, the right-hand side on the approach with a right signal. I hope that helps you.
