First day C+E training. Could've gone better

toonsy:
Yeah it’s a minor but collectively…

It’s roundabouts. It’s not the roundabouts as such, it’s the car drivers using them with no indication or inkling as to what they’re doing and if they don’t know how am I supposed to know lol so it’s the whole you convince yourself that a car is leaving the roundabout because or their position/the way they look etc only to have them nip round on you at the last minute.

So then you stay put and that’s when they decide to leave the roundabout and turns out you could’ve gone.

Anyway as I say loads better today. Scuffed one kerb with the trailer tyres but I was told the examiner would let that slip because it’s a horrifically tight exit in a route they hardly use because it’s extremely tight.

Found out I have the 1330 test out of Garretts Green on Monday. Not sure if waiting around all day is a good thing or not lol

Roundabouts are a pain these days ive noticed alot of car drivers these days seem to use the left indicator incorrectly by indicating left way before they’re exit when they are actually turning right
i did my C two days ago and came to a roundabout the main A road was off set with one other minor road i was turning in to, it was all single carriageway cars were streaming across the roundabout on the A road and it was hard to tell if one would suddenly turn right across me, What i did was pick one car three cars back from the roundabout as the driver entered he looked at me then looked up the A road this usually indicates thats his chosen course as in 90 out of 100 cases people look in they’re direction of travel and it was fine i got out ok the examiner stretch across the cab to see if id impeded any other vehicles, Luckily not
