Driving instructor Annie Winterburn recently revealed a simple yet effective method to help drivers master roundabouts, a common source of confusion on the road. According to Winterburn, roundabouts are “so simple” to understand, but many drivers consistently make the same errors related to lane selection and signalling.
The key, she explains, is to focus on the correct use of lanes and timely signalling. Drivers often hesitate or signal incorrectly, leading to confusion and, occasionally, accidents. Winterburn emphasizes choosing the right lane before entering the roundabout, based on the intended exit, and signaling clearly when leaving.
Her advice is straightforward: plan your lane early, signal your intentions clearly, and stay alert. With these small but crucial steps, roundabouts become much less intimidating and far safer for everyone on the road.
