This video footage shows the correct procedure to approach roundabouts in the UK using the Mirror, Position, Speed Look routine. When planning the approach using this method of car control, learners can be sure that they are in the correct lane and by slowing down and being in the right gear in time the most important decision to emerge safely becomes easier and will boost confidence.

Over the past decade, governments around the world have shown a high commitment to reducing the number of collisions and casualties we see each year. One way of achieving that has been by promoting education about road safety, even from a very young age. This range of programmes is sometimes started from pre-school and continues until further education. The main goal is to ensure the safety of pedestrians, cyclists, and motor vehicles drivers –both now and later on in life. This way the idea of safely driving is embedded within us from a very young age. This attempt will not only reduce casualties but will also help acknowledge the risk of traffic offences. Here are smart strategies every driver should know, in order to protect themselves and others on the road: 1. Skidding Out of Control In many countries, rain is a common occurrence. That’s why this situation is realistic, as your car can easily skid on a wet surface, thus spinning out of control. In this situation, it’s important to take your foot off the gas, and then to very gently steer the car towards one point in the distance. The vital aspect to remember is to not over-steer or press the brakes violently, as this can cause a rollover and won’t stop you from skidding. Preventive Measures: Your driving should directly complement the weather conditions you are facing. If it’s raining, snowing, or icy, the best thing to do is slow down. Additionally, don’t underestimate speeding limits, especially during these weather conditions. 2. Fog Clouds Your View Certain weather conditions create fog which not only affect your visibility but rather create inadequate road conditions –wet and slippery. You need to drive slowly and use your fog lights, however never switch on your bright lights, as the light will ultimately be reflected back to you. Preventive Measures: Unless you’re caught in these conditions, don’t drive. It’s essential to reduce your speed and to open your windows to listen for traffic you are unable to see. 3. Tire blows on motorways Picture this scenario: you’re travelling to and from work each day, having to pass the motorway on both occasions. While happily going home, you hear a loud noise and what feels like you’re run over a speed bump. This is more or less how it feels to have your tire blowout. When you’re on a rural or urban road, this is more manageable. But what do you do when on the motorway? First of all, be mindful of maintaining control of your car, not trying to pinpoint where and what could have gone wrong. There is no need to look out the window or peak over the steering wheel. A common misconception is that you need to push hard on the brakes; however, this may spin you out of control –putting yourself and others in danger. The second thing to follow after regaining control is to hold the steering wheel with both hands, allowing the car to gain a […]
