Finally, I have heard you say what worries me most, which is that the signs on the roads come late and are too close to when drivers need to make decisions. I believe without a sat nav, most drivers will go the wrong way several times before correcting themselves on a new road.

[@Bobrogers99]

From watching videos, I'd agree that signage in the UK is often inadequate. Overhead signs well ahead of the intersections would be extremely helpful.

[@PrinceJJGoated]

Last month drove the M25, got to the roundabout at 4:40, road markings were faded even more than this video so couldn't tell which lane until it was far too late due to traffic on both sides. Ended up in Heathrow. I think a lot of these roadsigns assume lower speeds with minimal traffic

[@oscarshen6855]

I have to say the road signs and marking are terrible in UK, which makes driving unnecessarily difficult. When you see the signs and matkings you have about 2 seconds to react or change lane. They should be big, over your head, and early.

As a person from a country with (usually) single-lane roundabouts where you just indicate when you exit, the layout of UK roundabouts is so baffling to me. I understand why so many people struggle with it. I'm not even sure I'd manage myself as someone with ample driving experience... Amazing video once again, Rich! Hope to see that car you're driving in back on the channel :)

[@bzorbbob817]

I'm guessing your from The Netherlands or Germany or somewhere near those countries.

I absolutely agree that multi-lane roundabouts are very confusing, and from my observations of UK drivers on video, it seems that many UK drivers don't use them properly.

Also remember if the road sign shows the motorway or road in brackets, it means it “leads to” the road in brackets.

[@zuraktobambuzi3055]

When i went to driving school my instructor told me one strict rule, clutch and gass can never be pressed together, so i always started car very slowly, even for beginners and i could never keep up with others i trafic, also when changing gear i had to get of the gass completely press the clutch, change the speed, and only than press the gass again, but by then i loose pleny of speed and im going into bigger gear, which makes car tremble and sometimes go off Later i found out that he was not really good and all my other friends done it right, like you in the videos With all that i still managed to pass the exam recently, quite proud of myself now

[@jessicawalton4690]

This video made me feel so much better! I find massive multi lane roundabouts even with a satnav extremely confusing trying to match up the sat nav with road markings and the correct exit, it’s a nightmare and if you’re in the wrong lane and you end up on a motorway you could end up delayed for ages! It’s good to know experienced people struggle with unknown areas too, I am very often driving in areas where they are barely familiar to me, not familiar, or only familiar as a pedestrian/ public transport user. I’ve been driving properly for just over 6 months (passed 10 months ago but only got a car just over 6 months ago). I’m almost always in the wrong lane on those massive multi lane roundabouts find them very intimidating and I’ve been beeped at a couple of times! And I would say other than parking I feel pretty confident as a driver. One example is the satnav will say take the m62 towards Manchester, I don’t know if that’s east or west so I just try and find a lane that says m62 and then it ends up being totally the wrong one and I have to go all the way round again

It's got a soft top and you hear all the noise inside. I'm a new driver and got myself some maps and try to navigate with them and following the road signs.

The only European country I ever spent substantial time in was in Germany. The road signs there are also white lettering on a blue background.

It seems to happen more often when I'm cycling than driving, but sometimes the satnav will try and send you down one way roads, or turn right when it's not permitted, you always need to be paying attention to road signs and markings and not just rely on a sat nav that may be out of date, or not working properly!

I'm 37 (almost 38) from London, so having a sat-nav (not the one on your phone) was quite new when I was a new driver. We relied on road signs and when we weren't sure, we did exactly what you did... you remember the map and have a general idea, so you keep going straight until you see a somewhat helpful sign. Come to a roundabout and one exit says 'town centre' and you're like "er... which town?"... that's when you KNOW you're frickin lost. 😅

[@Abigail-Rebecca]

When I passed my test, the only thing available were road atlases, A to Zs, road route planner signs and a good sense of geography - of course there was, the ever unreliable, asking someone directions. I remember, the day after I got my first car, asking my other-half to direct me home from Chester to Manchester using the A Roads only from the atlas, as the car had a developed a fault and I didn't want to break down on the motorway. So far, so good; until I started looking at the signs and realising something wasn't right...yes, I had been directed via Liverpool and the Mersey Tunnels! My road route planner sign reading and geography went on an intensive training course directly after. I have a sat-nav now, but frequently like to test myself by leaving the sat-nav alone and using signage by itself to get to my destination. Plus, it's good practice for when you haven't a sat-nav available, it looses signal or goes faulty.

This has been really throwing me and I didn't even realise until recently that you should change lanes on some islands?? I always thought the island just spirals you around? i.e. the approach will say something like "right lane for M4/5/whatever" - then once you're on the roundabout, you have to switch lanes mid-way around.

Beautiful little car, reminds me a bit of the Renault Dauphine. Here's a tip: if you're driving a vehicle with a speedo marked in kph only, make up an aide-memoire using any of the online calculators and fix it with something removeable so you can see it. You'll probably only need it for a week or two as the conversions will enter your brain and become second nature! If any doubt, you can work it from 2 figures, 100kph = 62mph and 80kph = 50 mph eg 1/2 of 100 is 50 so 50kph = 31 mph, therefore 30mph is about 48 kph

Another top video. I think it would be a good idea to make a video just on the roundabouts of Colchester and how they should be driven, lane management etc. As you well know Colchester seems to have more than its fair share of unusual roundabouts often which you need to treat differently from the rules of driving standard roundabouts. IE filter lanes, give way lines on the roundabout, multiple roundabouts, ones where it is normal to drive on the outside lane past 2 exits and past the 12 o'clock rule before taking the 3rd exit etc. I find it quite difficult trying to explain to my daughter (who has had around 40 hours of professional instruction) that "this is the rules to approach and use a roundabout" to then go out and say this roundabout and that roundabout have different rules and don't do what i told you earlier!

As an experienced driver who still found a need to look at your video, I think this really sums up what one would be facing driving in an unfamiliar area (even with sat-navs lanes can still be confusing). To me keys are to 1. Be aware of the surroundings - very easy to be carried away by unclear/last-minute signs/marking and not checking cars around you 2. Be confident - if you're confused probably you're not the only one (hence 1's important), and there'll always be a way to turn around if you went the wrong way 3. Be calm, there're always gonna be people beeping (like in this video), don't let that alter your judgement unless you're clearly doing something dangerous (ie. changing lanes without checking, hence 1's important). An angry motorist is a bad motorist, I've had many times where people behind me were beeping (ie. when giving way to join a dual carriageway), just deep breath and carried on what I was doing. If they were attempting to pass dangerously I'll let them pass then let them face the danger themselves, and I've seen so many near misses...

interesting video. I've always suspected that 'local knowledge' is a super important reason why ppl pass or fail the driving test! I'm convinced that lots of good drivers would fail the test if they had to take it at a random test centre they'd never been too. Where I live, there's so many roundabouts and stuff that are either not marked (despite having unusual rules like needing to be in the right lane to go straight over) OR, there are road marking, but they are so late that it would be dangerous to wait until you see them to get in the correct lane and have to try to change lane when you are about 2 feet from entering the roundabout! lol I'm sure i'd have passed my test easily if only I had a good memory and good 'bearings' so i'd remember the particular rules and roads i'm on, but i've been cursed with an awful memory and so on tests, it often feels like i'm on a road for the first time lol

My husband laughs at me for checking Google maps first. If I have a few roundabouts I like to familiarise which lanes I should be in, if road signs/ markings do not give enough notice

[@ConquerDriving]

It's a very smart idea.

I know overhead signs are expensive and ugly, but they would have been a big help in navigating these roads. Overhead signs direct you into the correct lane with way more warning than those puny little roadside ones or the worn-off lane writing.

Near where I live, whoop whoop (west Drayton that is)

Gotta love driving in the UK - I usually find there is a tree branch covering the part of the sign I need LOL

[@ConquerDriving]

That is very true at this time of year.

[@RachelRhiarti]

That was SO helpful - thank you!

Honestly I think most lane markings need to be redone, there all so faded, even around London, it makes it so much trickier. I especially think there needs to be lanes on all roundabouts just to make it easier. I'm a learner btw which is probably why I find it tricky.
