Brendan Tierney’s
Roundabout Tips for Learner Drivers

For learner drivers, roundabouts can be especially daunting. KennCo Learner Driver Ambassador, Brendan Tierney, has some helpful roundabout tips for learners.

Brendan says, before attempting any roundabout, make sure you understand how they work. Learn the rules in advance and practise identifying your approach and signals before you get behind the wheel.

• On approach, decide if you are keeping to the left or right.
• Know whether you need to signal left, right, or not at all.
• Give way to traffic on your right, but only if it is close enough to affect your entry.
• Always signal left when exiting, but only after you have passed the exit before yours.

Roundabouts can vary in layout and complexity, so work with your instructor to build confidence before tackling them on your own.

Brendan Tierney is an IDT Approved Driving Instructor and KennCo’s Learner Driver Ambassador.
