denlin Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 From my experience its best to close your eyes, mash the accelerator and hope for the best! That's most helpful ---------- Post added 02-06-2015 at 18:26 ---------- I'm currently learning to drive, and this roundabout is causing me some real problems as I find it really scary. My main question is this- when coming from Brook Hill, what lane do I use to go down Netherthorpe Road (second exit on left)? On approach, I can either take the left arrow or the straight ahead arrow. Which lane does this exit fall under? Also, should you end up in the right or left lane of Netherthorpe Road, and how does your initial lane effect this? Sorry if this sounds very silly- I don't want to cause any accidents! Your instructor should be advising you which lane to use or he or she aren't doing their job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Event Horizo Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I'm an instructor and personally i tell my students to go in the left lane. Then exit down netherthorpe road in the left lane. More experienced drivers can do it in the middle lane and exit in the right lane or check left mirror after last exit and move to left if clear. However this roundabout reminds me of the champs elyees or marble arch roundabout. It can be like Wacky Races But i'd like to ask why isn't your instructor giving you this info? Doesn't he tell you when approaching this roundabout? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerryBooth Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Some amusing answers above. The straight forward arrows are for Broad Lane as taxi drivers will know for their taxi test. But as above the turn left lane for left lane Netherthorpe Rd. straight forward lane for right lane Netherthorpe Road and hope you dont clip anyone as you could be in the wrong lane technically. Nightmare that roundabout for any driver. Like said above, it is like Wacky races setting off to get on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesther Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 From my experience its best to close your eyes, mash the accelerator and hope for the best! That was obviously the City Cars driver's policy this afternoon, when I was almost rammed, approaching from Netherthorpe Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Left lane OK if you exit into the LH Lane of Netherthorpe Rd.However ,middle Lane also OK if you exit into the RH lane of Netherthorpe Rd. It was so much more exciting when they had the experimental mini roundabouts at each intersection so that you could avoid going all the way round the roundabout if turning right. Can't understand why this didn't catch on. That was brilliant. I used to go out of my way just to use the roundabout then. Scary...but fun.

Eater Sundae Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 That was brilliant. I used to go out of my way just to use the roundabout then. Scary...but fun. If I remember correctly, they tried several different experimental roundabout designs at around the same time - mainly in the form of different sized roundabouts, each with varying numbers of driving lanes.

bullerboY Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 This is a silly question everyone knows that you speed up to at least 60mph ignore the lights and just aim you bonnet at a tiny space all the muppets will then stop and let you through problem solved.

Cyclone Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I'm currently learning to drive, and this roundabout is causing me some real problems as I find it really scary.

Also, should you end up in the right or left lane of Netherthorpe Road, and how does your initial lane effect this? Sorry if this sounds very silly- I don't want to cause any accidents! I use the left hand lane to go to the left hand lane of Netherthorpe Rd, or the middle lane of Brook Hill to go to the right hand lane of Netherthorpe Rd. I'd not recommend learning to drive in such a busy area though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klindon99 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 You could always try turning right at the junction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
