How to correctly drive spiral roundabouts ๐ŸŒ€

1. Choose your lane on approach based on your exit and the available road signs and markings

2. Follow the markings as you enter the roundabout to go into the required lane

3. Look out for the markings spiralling you outwards towards the lane needed for your exit, this is based on your approach lane.

In the image we have Hastings Hill Spiral roundabout going towards the Tyne Tunnel 3rd exit. You will see here at the 2nd exit the lanes are starting to spiral outwards to guide the traffic into the correct lane to take the 3rd exit.

My top tip: If taking an exit to the right, count the exits this way you can anticipate when the markings are going to make you change lane.

For example - here at hastings hill the 3rd exit is for A19 Tyne Tunnel, so when I see the 2nd exit I will look out for the markings guiding me to the appropriate exit lane based on my approach lane.

I give up ๐Ÿคฌ๐Ÿ˜‚ Off work today and asked my kids what they want for dinner.

My daughter said can they have a McDonalds so thought might as well. Sitting in the drive thru after ordering and felt a nice little bang from behind.

'What was that'...so I look behind, and the owld gadgey behind has just drove into the back of me ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Now luckily, it was very low speed so no damage apart from a tiny little scratch but if you can't judge your distance from a car infront at a drive thru, stay off the roads ๐Ÿ™ˆ

This is THE biggest issue I see on the roads now, everyone is just up each others a**e and have no concept of following distances, even in drive thrus ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ

Would these road works catch you out?

Heading towards Southwick Green coming from North Hylton Road through the roadworks, you need to look out for the mandatory signs (when they aren't on the floor๐Ÿ˜…) to direct you towards your exit โš ๏ธ

Drivers vs temporary road works โš ๏ธ

At these temporary road works on North Hylton Road when taking the 2nd exit to Southwick Green, should I take the blue line and go around the centre island or should I take the more direct route and use the red line?

I will post a video on this later but keen to see what route you would drive through it.

Are you learning to drive or do you have a driving test coming up?

For a one off payment of ยฃ3.99 you get access to the Sunderland Driving Test Video Hub and it's about to get much better ๐Ÿ‘‡

Currently there are spiral roundabout videos, test route videos and checklists to help you outside of your driving lessons.

Soon I will be adding more videos that help you with general driving and your driving test. All for ยฃ3.99

John Reid Road roundabout heading towards Low Simonside. I've had a few messages about this one, the last time I ventured into South Shields with content I got loads of grief...so I'm prepared this time ๐Ÿ˜‚

Based on the road markings, you would follow the blue line. Approach in the right lane, enter into the right lane then go into the left lane at the next set of lights - then follow that left lane to Low Simonside.
