Try the wingmirror, your shoulder or the door handle. It can vary depending on the size of your car.
Also, try make sure your a fair distance away from the side your pulling into (if that makes sense).
Hopefully that helps, i'm sure you'll get it soon!

Thanks!
I normally use the door handle on my instrustor's car as it's 4 door, but I'll have to find a different reference point for my own car

sadly no i failed in the last 2 mins for choosing the wrong lane at the roundabout and no choosing the appropriate exit for that lane if that makes sense. i just got so confused last minute, unfortunately this caused me to fail otherwise i would have passed 😭😭

Hi I had my test two days ago and I passed. But don't worry if you didn't because roundabouts have always been tricky and the nerves for the test don't help either.

yeah hopefully i can get a test soon from someone who's cancelled but it looks like 2020 hates me too
Idk how to explain how i do it, i just make adjustments as i reverse and it just works everytime lol. As for forwards i just make sure i have given myself enough space to slot in, take it a bit wide maybe idk rly
