Orton Centre roundabout
East of England Showground, rush hour
One third (33%) of collisions are within 1 mile of your home and two thirds (67%) are within 5 miles of your home.
Why do you think this is the case?
The Orton Centre roundabout is around 1 mile from my home and I need to be more alert than normal.
It is normally very quiet but at rush hour there are many people driving from the Business Park at Lynch Wood.
This clip shows approaching the roundabout from Wistow Way and entering Goldhay Way.
This is on the approach from the Orton Parkway and taking the 4th exit to the right onto Goldhay Way, I am doing a commentary drive which is what the Police do to minimise them getting angry with people they are persuing.
You are the advanced driver and you are going to make the roads safe.
It is looking early and looking for gaps rather than cars and smoothly entering the roundabout.
