11) EDUCATION

The driver should make:-
• An early observation on the approach


• Indicate left or right on the approach but not for going ahead
• Reduce speed in good time

 

• Yield to the LEFT (RIGHT IN THE UK)
• Decide whether to stop or not within a car’s length of the Point of Entry
• Make a decision to emerge into the correct lane

 

 


• Carry out the following when passing the final exit before the one selected to vacate:-


• Mirrors (Main and passenger side mirrors)
• Indicate in the direction of the exit
• Carry out the Manoeuvre*
• It is important to carry out a), b) and c) as the vehicle is passing the last exit before the one the exit is going to be made.


• Leave the roundabout and concentrate on the “new road”

* A shoulder look on a wide roundabout in the direction of the curb side is important to make sure all the blind spots are taken in before conducting the manoeuvre.
