Forty Hill driving test tips from our instructors

Q: How do I handle roundabouts without panicking?
"Stay calm by following the MSPSL routine (Mirrors, Signal, Position, Speed, Look) and always look right on approach. Practice with mini roundabouts first, then build up to larger ones."

Q: What's the correct way to check mirrors and signal?
"Check your mirrors before any change in direction, speed, or overtaking — act safely on what you see. Only signal if necessary, and make sure it's correctly timed and clear."
