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.
