Driving Lessons Bear cross, Bournemouth
Impact School of Motoring have offered driving lessons in Bear cross, Bournemouth for many years. With our extensive experience we would like to give some advice to pupils on how to be safe dealing with one of the most difficult roundabouts in Bear cross.
This is an aerial image of the Bear cross roundabout. This is a very standard shape, 4 exit roundabout, that follows all the standard roundabout rules for positioning and signalling etc. The only reason it is more difficult than an average roundabout is because it’s busy. So I would like to talk about how to read other traffic on a roundabout and give some advice that will help you join busy roundabouts more comfortably. So what is the purpose of a roundabout? They are designed to keep traffic flowing more freely than a give way junction or traffic lights. So ideally, where possible it is best to filter in with traffic on the roundabout, ensuring of course there is a large enough gap to filter in to. The key to filtering in to a busy roundabout is a slow approach and early observation. Approaching slowly gives the maximum possible time for a gap to appear on the roundabout which you can gently accelerate into. Looking to your right early allows you the maximum potential to see the gap appear. Do ensure you keep checking back to your position though. So now you’ve got time to see your gap on the roundabout I need to let you know how to understand where the other cars are going so you can identify that gap. In a perfect world every driver would signal left when they were due to leave a roundabout and it would be easy to understand where they were going. Unfortunately you may have noticed most drivers don’t signal correctly at roundabouts. So the best thing to judge them on is there speed and position. Speed – If a driver is going fast or you can see they are accelerating there is a good chance they are about to leave the roundabout. If a driver is going around a roundabout they will need to keep there speed slow. Position – If they are wide to the outside of the roundabout they will most likely be leaving the roundabout. If they are close to the roundabout they will be continuing around. This is the very basics of understanding and the rest can be learnt by studying roundabouts closer.

Driving Lessons Boscombe, Bournemouth
Impact School of Motoring have offered driving lessons in Boscombe, Bournemouth for many years. With our extensive experience we would like to give some advice to pupils on how to be safe dealing with one of the most difficult junctions in Boscombe, Bournemouth.
This image is of the traffic light junction at the Springbourne end of Ashley road in Boscombe. I would firstly like to point out I am aware that there is a more difficult junction further along Holdenhurst road and would have loved to talk about this, however it has only recently been redesigned by the council and Google have not yet got a current image of this, so I’ll talk about that one when Google has been updated. The traffic lights in this image have caused many drivers to make a mistake. This is mainly due to how the lights are timed. If you approaching these lights and travelling away from Bournemouth (The road pictured left), And if you are turning right into Ashley road (pictured bottom) the lights for the traffic going straight ahead will go green before the lights for the vehicles turning right. I have seen many drivers look at the wrong set of lights before trying to make a right turn through the red light. So be careful you have assessed all the lights before making a decision. If you are turning out of Ashley road, when your lights are green, traffic turning left into Ashley road will also have a green light. When this is the case watch out for buses coming around the corner towards you as they have to swing out fairly wide and can sometimes cross onto your side of the road.

Driving Lessons Southbourne, Bournemouth
Impact School of Motoring have offered driving lessons in Southbourne, Bournemouth for many years. With our extensive experience we would like to give pupils some advice. Most of these posts include the most difficult junction in the area, however Southbourne is mainly used by driving instructors for learning the reversing manoeuvres, so I would like to take this opportunity to give some tips on how to reverse around a left hand corner.

Driving Lessons Ensbury Park, Bournemouth
Impact School of Motoring have offered driving lessons in Ensbury Park, Bournemouth for many years. With our extensive experience we would like to give some advice to pupils on how to be safe dealing with one of the most difficult junctions in Ensbury Park.
If you are taking your driving lessons in and around the Ensbury park area, or taking your driving test in Bournemouth, you will have to deal with the Ensbury park one way system. When driving around this system, the signs and markings are all there to help you negotiate the lanes easily. As you approach the system you should know what destination you are heading for. On most of the approaches there are signs informing you of which exit you will need to take for your destination or which lane you require for your destination. Some of these can be a little confusing with the amount of exits off of the system; if you have trouble understanding them speak to your driving instructor, and he will be able to help you understand. You sometimes also have the road markings which you can see in this image that will inform you of which lane leads to your destination. Look for these as early as possible to make an early lane selection. There are a couple of approaches that only have one lane on approach and no signs or markings on the approach. In these situations, unless you know which lane your going into through previous knowledge, approach in the centre of the lane at a very slow speed, giving yourself time to look across onto the system for the markings on the lane you require, you must know this prior to joining the system, so don’t be in a hurry to come on to it. When on the system as long as you look well ahead for all your signs and markings they should guide you around comfortably. Do not go over any of the chevron markings, always signal left when leaving the system. Just one point of local knowledge to note, unfortunately this is under a tree in the image. However, if you are following signs for town centre and you come to a set of traffic lights where there are no signs or markings and the lanes split into 2, take the left lane for town centre. If you do this on your test the examiner will often advise which lane to be in, but not always so it is important that it is practised and fully understood.

Driving lessons Branksome, Poole
Impact School of Motoring have offered driving lessons in Branksome, Poole for many years. With our extensive experience we would like to give some advice to pupils on how to be safe dealing with one of the most difficult junctions in Branksome.
If you are taking your driving lessons in and around Branksome you will need to deal with the Branksome double roundabouts, pictured here. Key skills that would apply here would be, good forward planning, a good understanding of lane systems, and good lane discipline. If you know the area, I will help you get orientated with the image. The road to the Left would lead to Westbourne, The road at the top leads to lower Parkstone, To the right is upper Parkstone, bottom right is Alder hills, and bottom left is the retail park. Now we have our bearings let me explain the lanes when taking the more complex route around these two roundabouts. When coming from Alder hills (bottom right) and going to Lower Parkstone (top), you will see as you approach the first of the 2 roundabouts the is a left arrow in both lanes, as you will be turning right at the second of the 2 roundabouts you would take up the right of these 2 lanes. It is a slightly strange feeling turning left from a right hand lane, but this is done so you can follow immediately into the right hand lane as you leave the roundabout, so your ready for the second roundabout, without having to do a lane change. I would also suggest you make a left signal to make this turn but don’t leave it on very long so other traffic does not think you are going to the left lane. You will then be already in the right hand lane for the second roundabout so this can be taken almost like you would take a normal right turn at a roundabout. However you may notice that as you are coming around this roundabout towards the lower Parkstone exit, The lane will gradually move you to the left as you pass the first exit, it has been designed this way to avoid the roundabout getting blocked at busy times. Also note that there is a pedestrian crossing just as you leave the roundabout, check this is clear as early as possible.

Driving Lessons Kinson, Bournemouth
Impact School of Motoring have offered driving lessons in Kinson, Bournemouth for many years. With our extensive experience we would like to give some advice to pupils on how to be safe dealing with one of the most difficult junctions in Kinson.
This is an aerial image of the double roundabouts along Kinson road. There are a few simple rules to remember on these roundabouts, Turning left or following straight on both roundabouts you will keep to the left hand lane, if you are turning right at either roundabout you need to select the right hand lane at the first of the 2 roundabouts, and follow that lane to the second roundabout. Take a look at the image and see if you can work out what route to take for each combination of directions. The lanes are thin and you must keep central to your lane as well as being aware of any traffic along side you keeping to there lane. You must give way to your right at each roundabout as per normal roundabout rules. However as these roundabouts get very busy at times there can sometimes be constant traffic queued to your right. On these occasions it is helpful to look across to the other exit on the roundabout to see if there is any traffic coming around, that will block the traffic to your right, you can use this as an opportunity to join the roundabout. This is just a few details about these roundabout’s the rest is learned in practice, this is why you will see learner cars going around these on a very regular basis.

Driving Lessons West Moors, Ferndown
Impact School of Motoring have offered driving lessons in West Moors, Ferndown for many years. With our extensive experience we would like to give some advice to pupils on how to be safe dealing with one of the most difficult junctions in West Moors.
When taking your driving lessons in and around the West Moors area you will have to deal with this short slip road joining and leaving the dual carriageway. It is normally best to maintain your carriageway speed until you have left a slip road but on shorter slip roads you may have to reduce your speed slightly before moving into the slip road, for this reason when leaving at a short slip road it is important to be aware of following traffic, so a very early mirror check is needed, followed by an early signal to give following drivers plenty of time to drop back or move around you. Before slowing check your mirrors again to ensure there is no traffic still following close, if there is and you have any doubt it may not be safe to slow, cancel your signal and don’t move off at the junction. This would be a very rare situation. As you leave the carriageway and travel down the slip road, just ensure you have reduced your speed enough for the bend after the slip road. When joining on this slip road, start by having a first check before you come around the bend, the view is quite open as you can see on the image and this will give you an early idea of what traffic might be on the carriageway. Take the bend at a safe and appropriate speed but be in a low gear ready to build speed quickly. After you’ve come around the bend check your centre and right mirrors to continue assessing the traffic on the carriageway, then build your speed to get alongside an appropriate gap in the traffic, signal and move onto the carriageway.

Driving lessons Parkstone, Poole
Impact School of Motoring have offered driving lessons in Parkstone, Poole for many years. With our extensive experience we would like to give some advice to pupils on how to be safe dealing when driving through the busy Ashley road in upper Parkstone.
If you are taking your driving lessons in and around the Parkstone area, you will definitely have to drive along the busy Ashley road, pictured here. On these types of road you will come across a lot of hazards, these would be anything that would make you slow down or change direction. These hazards are split into 2 categories, potential hazards, this would be something that might make you slow down eg. a pedestrian looking like they might cross the road but still currently on the pavement. When you have a potential hazard you should prepare to stop, preparing to stop would mean you check your centre mirror and cover your brake pedal, with practise this should build up to being an automatic response whenever a potential hazard is seen. Then you have developing hazards, these would be anything that will make you slow down eg. our pedestrian now steps into the road. When the hazard develops you should start to brake. When you are driving along these roads you may have a hazard to deal with every couple of seconds so you will need to be very alert and and quick with your observation. Never let one thing take all of your attention, this means as soon as you have identified a potential hazard you can prepare to stop and keep the hazard in your peripheral vision but be looking for the next hazard. The traffic queue’s on these roads can get very built up, as pictured. When in these queue’s it is a good idea to keep a good distance from the car in front, I feel about 4 or 5 car lengths while traffic is moving. There are a lot of good reasons behind this, firstly it improves traffic flow, most traffic queue’s will start and stop repeatedly, this is mainly due to traffic following very closely to the vehicle in front and having to stop quickly when the queue stops. When following at a larger distance from the car in front, you can slow down gradually when the traffic in front is stopped and this often allows you to keep moving slowly as the traffic in front moves away again, keeping traffic flow going. It will also allow you to watch for side roads, keep clear signs, pedestrian crossings, and box junctions, all things that you should keep clear when stopping in traffic unlike the vehicles that are blocking the side road in this image.
