Roundabouts
There are set procedures for dealing with roundabouts. You need to discuss and
demonstrate how to go left, ahead and right, including how to apply the OSM/PSL
routine for the direction you intend to travel. This will include applying the correct:
• signalling procedures;
• lane discipline; and
• observation.
You need to make sure your pupils adopt correct procedures for each roundabout
they deal with.
Basic skills - Pupils must be able to:
• take effective rear observation;
• approach at the correct speed and judge the speed of other traffic;
• give the correct signals at the right time and cancel them when necessary; and
• follow the correct road position throughout.
Faults they should avoid:
• giving wrong or misleading signals;
• approaching at the wrong speed;
• stopping when the way is clear;
• riding out into the path of approaching traffic;
• positioning incorrectly; and
• failing to take effective observation.
Junctions
2. CBT Syllabus
Your pupils will have practised turning left and right in Element C. They now have to
combine these riding skills with real traffic situations. You need to see how your
pupils deal with a variety of junctions. These include:
• crossroads;
• T-junctions;
• staggered junctions; and
• Y-junctions.
