At least you have someone who can take you out for lessons in between - my brother wouldnt trust me, one sister just looked at me and laughed, the other said no chance ive only just bought this car and want to get at least 6months use out of it before it goes into a garage, niece said i need my car to get me to uni (she was living in Liverpool then).

Always use the right hand lane when turning onto Hyndburn road, I cant understand the drivers who are going Right (Hyndburn Road) but are in the left lane thus going all the way round on the outside.
 
There's an added problem with that roundabout. There are times when cars stop in the middle of Union Street and the traffic backs up onto the roundabout.
 
I'm a right hand lane person too. Before the roundabout was built it was always a right hand turn onto Hyndburn Rd. Plonking a roundabout in the middle of the road doesn't make it any less of a right hand turn..:)

How can it be a right hand turn from Eastgate Lettie ?? Beyond 90 degrees is a right hand turn, this is clearly around 85 approx! Remind me never to travel with you two sisters .. :D

The problem I have had with the roundabout is when slowing to take the exit for Homebase ( coming from the Eastgate side ) Sometimes those coming from Hyndburn Road just don’t realise that there is a turn off directly to their left and start to pull out as you slow down….quite a few times I have had to abort going into Homebase and go round the roundabout again to avoid a collision.

When coming down Eastgate to go onto Hyndburn Rd...... which way do you turn your steering wheel Katex??? I have to turn mine right in order to get around to Hyndburn Rd, therefore, it is a right hand turn. Remind me never to let you drive my car....:D

LOL .. well it is a roundabout, and therefore going in a circle, clockwise, so have no choice but to turn your wheel right, even if you were taking the first 'left' down Union Street .. this is getting more complicated. :D

See the diagram in Gayle's post.

I have never turned my steering wheel right to go down Union St from Eastgate..:confused: From the left lane my wheel is turned slightly left to get on to the roundabout, straight for a bit, then left to get onto Union St...:D
