“You might encounter one or several roundabouts during your driving test. In different driving test areas, roundabouts can range from large complex intersections to simple mini roundabouts. Your examiner will be looking for the same things at any roundabouts as at any junctions. These include a safe approach, using the mirrors signal manouevre routine, good observation and good decision making – giving way to other road users where necessary.
The examiner will give route directions in good time, allowing enough time for you to complete your mirror signal manoeuvre routine.
If the examiner does not give you a route direction and you are not in the independent driving phase of the test, you might be missing a road sign. Be on the lookout for signs adn road markings all the time.
The key points for your driving test are:
– You might encounter several roundabouts during your driving test
– Different areas have different roundabout types
– The examiner will be looking for use of the MSM routine
– Good observation and decision making
– The examiner will give directions in good time
– Look out for road signs during the independent drive”
