Maybe look at https://archive.advanceddrivinghub.com/ ... f=2&t=2175 - seems to have some helpful thoughts.

The hazard perception test includes the concept of a developing hazard but, as experienced drivers, we know that the roots of a developing hazard can often be spotted before they become sufficiently developed for the developing hazard as tested. We see someone at the side of the road, irrespective o...

I note that in the recent crash where 5 young crash victims (not all dead) were not found for a couple of days Off left at the start of a slightly sweeping right to a roundabout, limit had been 50 but changed to 30 at the start of the bend. Late at night. Deep into foliage, out of sight. No obvious...

The situation may be helped by the excellent, and constantly evolving, road network. Probably also helped by the much lower population density, possibly a close enough indicator of relative traffic density. The UK has almost three times as many people per unit of area. Maybe it's better to compare ...

Stick it in Drive until you get used to the feel, then never ever use Drive again, (except when in slow moving traffic).

Welcome. I'd be curious as to if there's a general approach folks like to use with these sorts of roundabouts. Agree with the aim of never being alongside or, at least, minimising time in overlap. I remember StressedDave was very particular about that. Beyond that and unless there is explicit inform...

Until it is, it makes a mockery of the driverless cars concept.

after a short while, I found that I no longer missed the visual display at all. I can manage without the voice but not without the visuals. Likewise. A boing is helpful for alerting. In my experience the voice is often misleading; turnings are called out that aren't, and others that are, aren't. Mu...

I suppose the first question is where you start indicating?

The next might be how far back you lift off a touch, to let your speed to fall to that of HGVs.

After that I'd almost certainly be doing firm+ braking into the offslip.

The fuckwittery of design and consequence was clear for all to see. While not disagreeing, might it be that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one? Depending on the frequency of breakdowns, it might be the gain in economic activity dwarfs the loss when there is an inconveniently positi...
