๐ Indicators: small lights, big clues.
Roundabouts keep traffic moving, but only when everyone knows where everyone else is going. Can you spot the signalling mistake? It might not be the one you think...

๐ฆ Green light... but what's the right move? Turning right at a busy intersection seems straightforward, but this is one of the road rules that trips up even experienced drivers. Check out the scenario... would you stay where you are, or move into the intersection?
Every driver can pick up bad habits over time. Whether you're learning to drive or refreshing your skills, understanding the rules and practising them consistently can make you a safer, more confident driver.

๐๐จ I'm already concentrating on the road, the mirrors, my speed, my surroundings... and now you. Sitting on my tail doesn't make me drive faster, it just makes me nervous.
Every driver was once a learner, please give me space to get there.
