Approach Left
Before taking this lesson, please read and agree to our Terms and Conditions
As with junctions, use your MSPSL.
Check your interior and left exterior mirrors.
If safe, signal left.
Position. Take the left hand lane.
Speed down. Most roundabouts are ‘give way’ - this means that, if traffic conditions allow, you may not need to stop. As you approach, look at traffic already on the roundabout and traffic that is approaching from the right. Try to decide if you are likely to need to stop. If you do, gently brake and stop just before the give way line. Select first gear. Use your handbrake if you are on a hill or if the stop turns into a wait. Keep your signal on.
When it is clear, or when you will be able to safely move away without causing other traffic to slow down or change direction, move away keeping your signal on and keeping to the left lane.
