00:00 Yeah so I'm Michael Hart from Hart School of Motoring. We're going to have a quick run around
00:04 the Whittington Moor roundabout looking at the new markings and how the council have laid it out and
00:09 expect us to get around it safely. Okay we'll set off now and have a little run around looking at
00:15 the major changes to the roundabout from before. So we're going to come up to the first junction
00:21 where we're going to look at that they've changed is from obviously Sheffield Road going B6057 to
00:28 the B6032 which takes us to Whittington, signposted Ekington. This was historically
00:34 straight on third exit they've now put us in the right hand lane and we're going right to third exit.
00:40 The main danger at this point will be people doing it incorrectly staying in middle lane.
00:47 Markings are clear at this point we do have the new road layout signs.
00:56 Coming up to this position it's clearly marked right.
01:01 Again following around so this is what we're actually first few planners left
01:18 coming around there we go that's the problem with the new layout.
01:22 Then we'll go back round.
01:33 As we follow around this bit hasn't changed since we get to this point
01:44 we have a bit pushing us out we should have red paint coming down.
01:47 We need to check on his inside because we're coming all the way across.
01:52 We'll go back around to the A632.
02:15 Again we shouldn't have anything cutting us up.
02:17 Checking to make sure you can come into the left following it around again not great.
02:24 I need to come past the junction to the left.
02:26 So as you see this is the new markings we're following it up and at this point
02:43 it sort of comes up very vague you just have to position yourself left
02:48 there's no sort of line pushing us around this way.
02:51 So we pass that point again.
02:56 Clearing right heading straight on to Dunstan approach B650 west we're going to go to the A632
03:08 Heckington turning again and this used to be left lane and now everything's
03:13 exceptional right again this is going to slow traffic down through the day.
03:21 It's not always this far back at this time of day.
03:24 Squeezing in let's see if she actually goes left.
03:32 So
03:39 So
04:01 There we go I was shocked she didn't run that.
04:07 Right so we're going to go from the B6032 Heckington up to the B650 west Dunstan.
04:22 Cut for upon the board.
04:27 Right off exit was a test route at one point this is something that people may have to do a test.
04:37 So at this point it's okay it's looking fine
04:50 as we come around this bend what they're expecting us to do is push over to the left
04:56 just becomes a sheer pain following around.
04:58 So you just have to position an 8 at that space rather than any guidance.
05:05 Which is a step for a learner.
