My first driving lesson tomorrow.

I'm really fucking nervous and scared, i'm an anxious person by nature but this has got me shaking. I feel like I'm going to fuck up big time. I have been in the driving seat before and I felt an overwhelming sense of responsibility and power as I sat in a small quadrant of a speedy killing machine.

Holy fuck what's wrong with me, how can I combat these nerves? Any advice on what I can learn/watch beforehand to smoothly transition into the lesson? fuck i'm so pathetic.

Roundabouts are a beautiful and elegant piece of road design. The main issue is that most people are shit drivers.

There are shit roundabouts too. The type designed by Council contractors with a blank cheque and too much free time.

There are plenty of roundabouts with no indication of the correct lane to use, and others where the only possible way to take the exit you want is to cut across one or more lanes.

There are also other terrible design decisions, such as ones where a pedestrian crossing is placed immediately after a busy roundabout, which cause all the traffic driving round it to have to suddenly slam on their brakes when the light changes.

Going with this lad.

No one will even come close to ramming you if you just stay in the centre until you need to leave then keep going forward, it actually seems easier than most roundabouts due to the centre lane going all the way around forever and not just for right turns.

This is a roundabout near me, the amount of cunts who follow the red lines while you're at the greens respectively without indicating at all makes my piss evaporate instantly, because you're just sat there looking like a dick as car after car goes past, it's much worse with the top one because it's custom round here to not indicate right if you're just going straight across. Bellends.

If you're approaching on the blue line in the morning, you'll be waiting for all the traffic coming from the yellow line. If you're approaching on the yellow line in the evening, you'll be waiting for all the traffic crossing in front of you. If you're approaching on the green line at any time when there are more than a handful of cars on the road ... yeah, good luck with that.

Not a chance. They don't have parking and have tiny north facing gardens meaning you can't dry clothes. They don't look big enough to have a laundry room, chimneys suggest upstairs downstairs terraced flats, so a tumble dryer is out of the question.

With that in mind, and the location, absolute maximum £400K a unit. Maximum. Someone who knows where this is get a Google street view on the go so we can have a proper butchers at the front and rear.

This island is an absolute joy.

Both of the green arrows on the entrance to the roundabout are marked as leading to the blue exit.
However, it is physically impossible to take the middle lane for this exit without having to cut up anyone on the inside lane going the same way.

It's also directly opposite Cambridge's only porno shop, and handy for the (superb) Portland arms, and massive, shite, burned-out Tivoli. Add all of those attractions to the constant traffic and risk of death-by-bus, and you can see why they're such a bargain, by Cambridge standards.

Lads I'm not gonna lie I passed with no minors first time but I feel I cheated.

This was about 4 years ago depressingly enough but if any young lads are yet to book a test, just book it for rush hour. Everybody acted like I'd just pissed away the test fee and I'd made a right fucking mess of it telling me how people would be causing problems everywhere and I'd have to deal with loads as opposed to doing it at lunch when nobody was about.

What actually happened was that it was rush hour for work and school and I did nothing but edge forward in first and second, did my manoeuvre and went home.

I've no idea why this isn't a popular option, I literally passed by sitting in traffic and edging my way back to the test centre before I'd really had chance to leave.

I'm genuinely pleased for you, I really am. Driving is a liberating skill to have which grants you a lot of freedom, however you need to learn how to use a comma. It's not difficult to do and the majority manage it fine, so just pay attention to them.

I don't want to piss on your chips here, today is a day of celebration, so I'm giving you a friendly warning instead. Sort it out, lad.
