with the mod 2 if u go the wrong way its not a fail so if u think ur going to get somthing wrong in wrong lane dont try to ditch the lane just go with that and they will redirect u no fast changing of direction they want to see u flow with it and that indicats u are aware of whats ahead.

I hope that helps a little if anything more u need help with just let me know

I got thrown off by an instructor in a driving test "right at the double round about"....I mean wtf?? right at the second round about or what . I failed that test as I completely lost my composure when he let me go round a round about 5 times before he decided I should get off at the next exit lol I could have dragged him out of the car and kicked the shit out of him then and there. It's no surprise I past on my 5th driving test

What he said

They'll only 'catch you out' if you realise you are in the wrong lane and try to change when its not safe.

If that was the first indication it was a 40 I would hope not! I would hope it would be a minor unless you are holding up traffic which I expect would be a fail.

May be wrong though!
