Final Tips Before Your Test
By the time your driving test comes around, you’ll have had plenty of practice with roundabouts—but it’s still totally normal to feel a bit nervous. The key is to stay calm, take your time, and remember the basics your instructor has taught you.
Here are a few last-minute tips to help you feel more prepared:
- Look ahead early – Spot signs and road markings before you reach the roundabout so you can get into the correct lane in good time.
- Breathe and don’t rush – Take a deep breath as you approach. There’s no need to panic, even if traffic is busy.
- Stick to what you’ve practised – Trust your training. Use your mirrors, signal clearly, and look to the right before joining.
- If you make a small mistake, keep going – A minor slip-up doesn’t mean you’ve failed. The examiner is looking for safe driving, not perfection.
Roundabouts can seem tricky at first, but with the right mindset and a bit of confidence, you’ll handle them like a pro. Keep practising, ask questions when you’re unsure, and remember—every experienced driver once felt exactly how you do now.
