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 Glasgow 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 Glasgow

Roundabouts cost more Glasgow 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 Glasgow road network.

What we focus on for roundabout driving in Glasgow

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

Anniesland routes typically push you onto Crow Road and out toward Drumchapel; Shieldhall routes use the Govan Road and Helen Street loop; Baillieston routes lean on the dual carriageway out toward Easterhouse and the M73 slip. 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.
