Navigating double mini-roundabouts can be intimidating for many drivers, especially learners, but with the right approach, they become much more manageable. The key is to treat each mini-roundabout as a separate junction and follow the standard give-way rules. As you approach, check your mirrors, then slow down to a safe speed, staying aware of other traffic. Signal your intentions clearly and be ready to stop if necessary. Planning your exit in advance helps reduce stress and keeps the flow of traffic smooth.
One of the most common mistakes at double mini-roundabouts is rushing through or cutting across the actual painted roundabout. Always focus on your immediate mini-roundabout first before moving on to the next. Position your vehicle correctly according to your intended exit. Maintaining a calm, controlled pace ensures you have time to react to other vehicles and pedestrians, which is particularly important in busy areas.
