Evening all I am new to riding I’m trying to pass my mod 2 I’ve not had the best instructors.

There is a roundabout on st Neots road next to the bp garage you approach the roundabout from hardwick so the be garage would be on your left. To go straight over would the 3rd exit there is no dedicated lanes.

I’ve seen so many students take the second to the airfield safely as I assume they are not sure what position to be in.


I would personally keep center/right for the 3rd exit

I’m asking if any of you guys know what roundabout I am on about and what position you would get in or if any of you guys have done your test via this roundabout.

Kind regards

I know this roundabout well, went over it with instructors and went over it on my DAS test.

I think this roundabout really helped me pass my test as I was very nervous and thought I f*cked it up on here (taking the inside lane) which took off all the pressure and I just enjoyed the rest of the ride thinking I had failed >.<

Long story short though, due to the road signage and location of the exists, either inside or outside is acceptable as long as you do the appropriate checks (shoulder check before changing lane from the inside).

do you have a google maps link for it ?

be interested to have a look

this one always annoys me
https://www.google.com/maps/place/St+Helens,+Saint+Helens/@53.4517537,-2.7283772,666m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x487b04abddf46587:0x50cf99eed6d3dc0!8m2!3d53.456307!4d-2.737095!16zL20vMDQ2ODJf

if approaching from Peasley Cross Lane which goes to 2 lanes before the roundabout, and wanting to exit up Pheonix Brow, which lane would you pick, I have experienced many times people in the left lane, going 1 exit after to Parr St

it seems a lot of people dont care anymore about what lane they are in etc, they just join and exit and hope for the best

Oh god, not this bloody roundabout again. The sign, on the approach from the east, makes it clear that the third exit should be treated as a "straight on", even if it completely misrepresents the layout of the exits in order to achieve this. But really, this is what matters -
