🚗 Following Road Signs on Gateshead Roundabouts | Blaydon Route
In this lesson, our learner drove the Gateshead test route towards Blaydon with one simple instruction: follow the sign for Blaydon.
With several roundabouts in a row, lane choice became challenging.
🔹 Right lane after a roundabout: The learner exited into the right-hand lane instead of the left.
🔹 Good recovery: He recognised his mistake, checked around him, and safely moved into the left lane, which is the normal driving lane.
🔹 Final roundabout: The learner chose the left lane for exit, which was signed for Newcastle, instead of the right lane for Blaydon. The instructor intervened using the steering wheel and guided the car into the correct lane.
🚦 Driving is all about reading the road signs, following the road markings and making safe decisions. Mistakes can happen, but recognising them and responding safely is an important part of becoming an independent driver.
