How to stay safe on a roundabout

Roundabouts

Traffic in a roundabout flows in a clockwise direction.
In a two-lane roundabout, you keep to the left lane if you’re turning left or going straight ahead.
You keep to the right lane if you’re turning right. You can also use the right lane in a two-lane roundabout if you’re going straight ahead.
You use your left-turn signal for a left turn, the right-turn signal for a right turn. If you’re turning right and are on the right lane, switch on your left-turn signal when exiting. It has become law in New South Wales that motorists must signal left, in every instance, whenever exiting from a roundabout.

Reviews

A_Cutajar   Before taking driving lessons with Mark, I was a complete 

novice when it came to cars... driving them, included. Not only did I pass

 the test first go, I learnt a wide range of key driving skills that other driving 

schools cannot match. This comes from knowledge and experience, which

 Mark has. He has a proven pass record and is a man you can trust. I would 

recommend R.P.M. Driving School to anyone wanting to pass first try, and at 

a good price.

adamant made the driving lessons enjoyable. He has a good sense of humor 

and his a great teacher. I got my license first go and it is all because of marks

 teaching skills. I would recommend him to anyone. Mark your the man

Muscat91 Mark for teaching me the correct way of driving. I knew how to drive

 but there were many little things that if Mark never pointed them out i probably 

would have failed.
Thanks again Mark recommend you anyone.

Xibby11 is a very good driving teacher. He knows what he is talking about and 

how to explaining things. Wasn't a confident driver.
Passed first go. Recommend him to all my friends.
Thanks heaps Mark.

Everyday Safe Driving Tips

Follow these driving tips and you’ll help reduce your risk of being involved in a crash as well as improve your personal safety as a motorist.

Power Check

When checking your vehicle, the POWER check is the easiest to remember. This stands for Petrol, Oils, Water, Electric, and Rubbers. Everything under each heading should be visually checked at least once per week.

Three Second Gap

At all times maintain a three second gap from the vehicle ahead, no matter what speed you are travelling. When it is raining, a foggy night, or any combination of these, the gap should be doubled to six seconds.

Safety Gap Between Vehicles

When you stop behind another vehicle in a line of traffic, always ensure you are able to clearly see the bottom of the vehicle's rear tyres. This ensures you are not too close to the other vehicle. Also, as you commence to move your three second gap will already be in place.
