Driving Lessons Townsend, Bournemouth

Impact School of Motoring have offered driving lessons in Townsend, 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 Townsend.

Here is an image of part of the cooper dean roundabout near Townsend. I would like to talk about the whole roundabout but the markings on the other side have recently been redone and Google images don’t include this yet. As I can’t afford to buy a helicopter and take the image myself I’ll just talk about this section for now. If you look at the road to the right you will see 4 lanes approaching the roundabouts. Look at the markings, 1 goes left, 2 straight and 1 right. A common error when going straight is drivers will get into the left of the 2 straight ahead lanes and as you look at it this appears to line up with the middle lane around the roundabout, so they go into that one. This would be cutting from one lane to the next, you have to consider that all traffic in the left lane is turning left so as you come onto the roundabout from the left of the 2 straight ahead lanes you will be the left most vehicle of the traffic going around the roundabout so you need to keep across to the left lane. Also beware of the box junction here. This roundabout frequently gets very blocked up and you must only enter the box junction if your exit is clear. Cars come around very fast around the roundabout and you don’t want to be blocking their exit when they do so.

We have driving instructors who are able to provide both Manual and Automatic driving lessons in Townsend, Bournemouth. Our driving school is always looking to expand and we are currently looking for more experienced and friendly A.D.I’s to cover Townsend and surrounding areas.
