When do I signal left to exit a roundabout?

As you pass the exit before yours. Earlier is fine; later or never is a fault.

Which lane on a 3-lane roundabout?

Depends on the exit — left for first exit, straight-ahead lane for going past 12 o'clock, right for past 12. We drill the real ones around Coatbridge specifically.

Do mini-roundabouts have the same rules?

Yes — give way to the right, treat it as a full roundabout despite the size.

Roundabout driving lessons in Coatbridge

Roundabouts cost more Coatbridge test marks than almost any other feature. The issue is rarely the roundabout itself — it's the planning: lane choice, signal timing, observation as you exit. We drill it on the real multi-lane roundabouts in the Coatbridge road network.

What we focus on for roundabout driving in Coatbridge

Lane choice rules — left, straight, right, plus exceptions

Signal timing on exit (when to indicate left)

Multi-lane roundabouts in the Glasgow (Baillieston) catchment

Mini-roundabouts — different priorities, same observation rules

Baillieston routes from a Coatbridge starting point typically use the A752, the dual carriageways near Glasgow Fort, and one residential loop through Garrowhill or Easterhouse. Our roundabout drills focus on the specific roundabouts examiners use, not roundabouts in general.

Mini-roundabouts trip up more pupils than full ones because the priority is identical but pupils stop treating them seriously.

Who this is for: Pupils preparing for Glasgow (Baillieston) test, refresher drivers, anyone who's failed on roundabout-related marks.
