Fantastic video! not a learner anymore (5 years ago) but I haven't driven in or around Peterborough for a very long time as I've simply not needed too. This video is a very helpful refresher on this notorious roundabout! Also I watched a few of your other videos around Peterborough and its just fantastic information! I wish these videos were around when I was learning! Thanks so much Jim! very helpful and very appreciated!
Yes, I've been hooted loads of times on that roundabout, usually by boy racers who appear from no where, zooming around it. It's now been branded the most dangerous junction in the UK, with ten casualties in one year.
0:29 3rd exit to eye 3:10 1st exit to wisbeach 5:12 left 1st exit to north > 7:13 right 4th exit to london 8:46 follow road ahead to fengate 10:45 ahead to perkins gates 11:28 4th exit to eye 13:21 2nd exit to werrington
Thanks for your videos Jim I passed the ADI part 2 today, after having it cancelled twice due to COVID many thanks for your videos spent hours watching them 👍
This was helpful to see. Is a tricky roundabout it’s when I spiral into different lanes I begin to get confused and not sure if I have taken the right position for where I am headed
7:19 taking 4th exit , if we start from 3rd lane and stayed in the same lane til the exit so would it be wrong? I had my test the other day and drove for 45 mins and failed on eye roundabout. I had started from lane 3 and continued til my 4th exit in same lane to end up in the middle lane exit but my examiner turned my steering wheel, why? Have i done wrong? If we start from 3rd lane should i be in left hand lane right before 4th exit?
I'm very sorry to hear that. What did your instructor have to say about it? In my 16 years of experience I've only ever known the examiners to touch the wheel to prevent a crash. The safest way to do this roundabout is the one shown.
When turning right from Paston Parkway to go right around (do a u-turn essentially), which lane would you need? Can you use the 2nd/3rd lane or would you need the 4th?
Hey sir, Could we use lane 4 (inside lane) to take 4th exit and end in inside lane on the exit? Is it compulsory to switch one lane out after every exit to end up in left lane for 4th exit? What if we use 4th lane til the end ? Would it be considered as wrong exit? Or could we do that ? Thanks
In theory yes but I would never do it you will run out of space really fast. Do what is shown in the video for the safest way. In over 30 years of of driving and 16 years of teaching I have never used that method.
Hi. Its really were detailed and helpfu videol👌. I want to practice this round about from all directions but dont know differrent routes leading to this roundabout. Just know from boongate roundabout 1st exit. Could you pls. help me out in this.Thanks. waiting for your reply
Hello , Thank you for your message. I’d love to Help you but unfortunately due to suffering with Motor Neurone Disease I had to stop teaching and driving for safety reasons a few years ago. It now has me Paralysed from the neck down and I can't speak.
