MILL HILL CIRCUS ROUNDABOUT IS JUST NOT BUILT RIGHT

In this vid i take a good long hard look at the Mill Hill Circus roundabout up at Mill Hill test centre and boy is this roundabout tough. If you have to deal with this particular roundabout on your driving test at Mill Hill you definitely need to practice it first.

I wanted to drop in and say a big thankyou!!!! I did my test last week at the ripe old age of 38! at Hendon , I watch this video over & over just to make sure, and you guessed it on test day I was taken to mill hill cirrus! I was taken the same way as shown in the video at 2:35 , soon as the driving examiner said take the second exit all the info you had side hit me. I did everything you said and made sure I did not put myself in a position where I was going to be in the keep clear box, cars were beeping like crazy behind me as I would not move in to the roundabout. I waited until there was a safe gap so that I was not be blocking traffic leaving the roundabout. I am happy to say I passed My driving test!! :) Thank you for the videos.

Amazing news Congratulations!!! Just goes to show it’s never too late! I’m happy the content helped, but you went out and got it done! Stay safe on the roads! 🚙🚗

I have a driving test on Friday at 1.30. I think that this time will be difficult to pass this roundabout. I should be calm and focus. I watched the video 15 times. thank you very much for helping us. It was very useful for me, especially since I do not have enough money to spend for the lessons. Thank you ❤

[@GetWheelDriving]

Good luck. You’ve got this. Quite often they turn left first exit on that roundabout… Go get it done! FYI if you’re doing your test in manual I do offer free filmed mock tests on the channel.

[@mustamon1093]

@@GetWheelDriving thank you Very much. I drive Atumatic car. You are a good man 👍

[@DevLuckk]

You passed?

[@hanab4292]

My test is coming up shortly, and I'm quite concerned about this roundabout. I'm curious what the examiners thought about the roundabout.

[@iamtheraseo]

Thanks for the video. I actually live around here and do at times struggle with the roundabout but mainly because of how others drive. This roundabout can get very busy and I usually start off on the 2nd lane as you can simply just remain on the lane without taking the first or second exit. Would this be okay or is it considered incorrect?

[@GetWheelDriving]

Turning right from Mill Hill broadway down the A1 south? You can do that yes as long as you’re aware and careful. I say it enough in the vid but it’s a horrible roundabout!

[@S3r53]

Do roundabouts in brent cross.. the circular road. I remember being so freaked out going there 3 years ago when i was a newbie in driving

[@GetWheelDriving]

Oooo which ones are those? Do you have a specific location?

[@ridgeracerfans]

I had my driving test (I passed thanks to your videos!) at Hendon today but for some reason the examiner took me around Mill Hill instead including this Mill Hill Circus. I was instructed to take the 2nd exit (Broadway to Lawrence St) but for some reason the examiner was hinting that I shouldn't be in the middle lane to exit so I switched to the left lane last minute when not many cars were around. The examiner was fine with me switching lanes but I thought exiting middle lane is also fine as your video suggested? Would be interested in your thoughts on this. And might be helpful for others having a test in Hendon to know that test routes could also be around Mill Hill!

[@GetWheelDriving]

Amazing news congratulations!! That’s an interesting one. I spoke with the test centre manager at Mill Hill specifically about this and he confirmed the middle lane is fine but can pose an issue on exit. You just have to be careful not to interfere with anyone. If the left lane is clear it would be preferable. If you’re coming from the A1 south turning to Lawrence street it’s nigh on impossible to get to the left hand lane. I’m happy the vids helped you. Stay safe on the roads!! 🚙🚗

[@DJIDroneTravel]

Damn I have my part 2 test in Mill Hill and I am sure I will be on that around about for sure 😢

[@GetWheelDriving]

You’ll be fine. There’s a lot of grey area on that roundabout. Just don’t be the car that directly interferes with traffic.

[@tauseefkamran8531]

very helpful video for difficult roundabouts .i heard Mill hill circus roundabout is not in test anymore as it is a bit dangerous .Am i right? thanks

[@Rob-ht6zt]

I failed here a few weeks ago on my Hendon at the entrance shown on minute 2:21. I took the middle exit and was told to go to the second exit. I failed for Use of mirrors - Change direction. Its a tough one for sure

[@GetWheelDriving]

Ah that’s painful! Do you now know what you did wrong and how to fix it? Good luck for the next one!

[@NeneAlokasBlog]

I failed here today due to this crazy roundabout. My heart is broken 😢

[@GetWheelDriving]

I’m sorry to hear that! 😔 but you WILL get it next time for sure. Keep practising!

[@NeneAlokasBlog]

@@GetWheelDriving Thank you 😊

[@AB-ns2tt]

Could you do a video on all the Exits on this roundabout

[@GetWheelDriving]

I could have a look at that… which ones are you most interested in? Or do you just want to see all the variations for all exits?

[@SaSa-fs8sb]

I just found this video. I failed in a manual a very long time ago, and now i remember 100% , this was the roundabout, not apex, this one. I had a total of only 6 minors , i had a clean sheet, and he failed me on change direction at this roundabout.

[@GetWheelDriving]

I wouldn’t blame you! Although you’ve always got to be careful changing direction/position! Stay safe on the roads! 🚙

[@greenfigs_wine]

I was super unlucky to come across both this roundabout and Apex in my test and failed. While doing this one, I tried to get to the middle left lane, but someone came out from right lane changed lane and took the middle left, I was not even on the keep clear but also outside the left lane, leaded to a serious mistake. So horrible this one!

[@GetWheelDriving]

It’s a horrible roundabout. Hard to understand exactly what happened otherwise I’d try to explain why… lots of grey area surrounding this roundabout. Sorry to hear you failed but you will smash your test next time… if you haven’t already.

[@greenfigs_wine]

@@GetWheelDriving I just passed this morning! Thank you for your words!

[@NeneAlokasBlog]

This was me today. Got these two as well. What a bloody unlucky day. I’m in tears 😢😢😢😢

[@sabuvarghese4189]

Why can't do a full round the roundabout and getting to the right lane then to exit

[@ellerywood2881]

what car are you in

[@GetWheelDriving]

Ford Focus

[@chrispeacocks836]

Surly that's the one o'clock rule and being in the left lane would be incorrect. There really should be a left arrow on the left lane. If it's difficult for an experienced professional what chance do learner drivers have.

[@GetWheelDriving]

This particular roundabout as I say in the vid there is a lot of grey area… it’s not clear cut. I did have a lengthy discussion with an examiner about it. It’s just a very badly constructed roundabout. The one o’clock rule I don’t tend to teach that personally as it’s too black or white. I would encourage you to read the the road markings, asses the layout and understand just general positioning. If you’re a learner driver it’s tough sometimes to be perfect in an imperfect world… I totally understand!

[@mazimazu8122]

Multi lane round abouts so confusing

[@GetWheelDriving]

They’re not all like this one… this one is specifically poorly constructed!

[@vincentcheng5709]

Totally. Roundabout should be kept to no more than two lanes on each entrance or exit. Wider and busier roads should use traffic lights to reduce the judgements required from all road users. Imagine that there are bicycle riders competing with you at the same time !
