Polo Mint Roundabouts

    Will be doing my test in Raheny in a couple of weeks and after my first lesson of driving around there I realised there are plenty of polo mint roundabouts in the area.
    Just wondering can anyone clarify what is the procedure for these when turning right, ie the 3rd exit. I know you'd have to indicate right when approaching it but will the tester expect you to indicate left too when half way around it ?

    Thing is they are so dam small and you are around them so quick there is hardly time between turning the wheel to indicate when half way around it.

    No matter how small they are you should still indicate as if you would on any roundabout.

    Consensus is to indicate if the tester asks to you to leave the roundabout on an exit (e.g. take the second exit) and not to if he/she just asks you to go straight on or take a right / left.

    Sorry but this is bad information. The size of the rounabout is not an issue. The rules for mini-rounabouts are the same as large ones.:D

    A roundabout is a roundabout is a roundabout. Indicate correctly for all of them, they can't mark you down for it!

    I would agree, yes the roundabout is smaller, but you will be traveling slower as a result of this, meaning indicating while on the roundabout should be no problem.
