What This Helps With

Mini roundabouts can be hard to spot and easy to overthink. The safest approach is slow and clear.

The Simple Version

Slow down, give way to the right, signal if it helps, and do not drive straight over the painted centre unless the layout leaves no choice.

Common Mistakes

  • Treating it like a normal crossroads.
  • Stopping for everyone and never taking your turn.
  • Missing people turning right.
  • Driving too fast because it looks small.

What Examiners Care About

They want safe priority judgement, low speed, and awareness of drivers who may not signal well.

Practise On Your Next Lesson

Ask Your Instructor

"Did I give way correctly, or was I waiting for no reason?"

Quick Self-Check

  • Did I spot it early?
  • Did I give way to the right?
  • Did I keep the speed low?
