Roundaboats- how to drive safe with good tempo?

From experience, I see that even if you have driven a lot at home, you still drive too much speed towards roundabouts. There can be various reasons for that.

The first thing I address is where you look. That you look as far ahead as possible and start planning as early as possible.

This means that you must start looking to the left as early as possible to see what the visibility is like.

Then it is this view that determines the speed towards the roundabout. If you start looking to the left too late, you also have nothing to calculate your speed from. So it is important that you do not decide too early to drive.

You must clarify where cars from the left and oncoming cars are going before you decide.

In addition, it is important to give gas on the way out of the roundabout. Far too many wait until they are through before they step on the gas.

This means that there will be too little wind-up on the run-up. If you drive in this way, you will drive safely with good interaction and traffic management.
