They are failing many just to reduce traffic congestion...

For test on a 3 lane road keep your vehicle in middle lane. It would be easy to take either left or right.

Make sure you wear seatbelt... check 3 mirrors for visibility...

Before pulling down the handbrake... check if the car is in neutral gear... WITHOUT THIS IS THE BIGGEST ERROR for beginner as the car could suddenly "takeoff"...

But get into the left or right lane... much before the roundabout .. after you received instruction.

For parking instruction... indicate to right... move into the temporary parking area on the road and park... pull up the hand brakes... switch on the indicator...

changing lanes : always give signal before changing, make sure that the lane you are going into is clear

overtaking: always overtake on the left, don't overtake on the right

hi shafzy,

for the round about, the roles are:

3 lane circle

want to go right: enter right lane exit right lane (stay in same lane when exit)

want to go straight: enter right or middle lane, exit same lane as you entered

want to go left: enter left lane, exit same lane

2 lane circle

want to go right: enter right, exit same lane

want to go straight: enter righ, exit same lane

want to go left: enter left, exit same lane

as a general role, always exit is same lane you entered, that is do not change lanes when exiting.

good luck
