Teaching roundabouts often brings out the best (or the worst!) in instructors. Once you are comfortable and confident in your own knowledge, understanding and teaching style, you will enjoy teaching roundabouts. However, at first, the fast moving, potentially safety critical environment can feel quite daunting.

Here we will cover some teaching tools we use and train others to use that will have a huge influence both on your understanding of how to teach roundabouts and your pupil’s ability to not only conquer them, but to go from possibly dreading them to ‘oh I love roundabouts!’
