For learners who can’t picture it
Open a ready-made layout, from T-junctions and crossroads to single-lane and two-lane roundabouts, so your learner sees the road from above instead of trying to imagine it.
For driving instructors · 30-day free trial
Stop explaining roundabouts with your hands.
Lay out the exact junction, roundabout or manoeuvre your learner struggled with on the Road Minds interactive lesson board. Move the cars and talk through each decision together while you’re safely parked.

Why the board works
Some things are easier to show than to say.
Describing a roundabout from the driver’s seat only goes so far. The board puts the road in front of your learner, so you can both see the same thing.
Go over a mistake while it’s fresh
Pull in, put the cars back where they were and circle the hazard with Pen. Turn cars 15° at a time and switch on indicators, hazards and brake lights to show what each driver was doing.
Calmer before going round for real
Show me steps through the layout one move at a time, so a nervous learner can see what happens at each stage before they drive it.
Let visual learners do it themselves
In Free practice or the open practice area, set up the road your learner just drove, then hand over the phone so they can move the car and show you what they’d do.
How instructors use it
From a tricky junction to getting it right.
Pull in after a tricky junction
Find somewhere safe and legal to stop while it’s still fresh for both of you.
Recreate it on the board
Pick the layout and put the cars where they were.
Learner moves the car
Let them move the car and say what they’d do at each point. Circle what they missed with Pen.
Drive it again
Head back out and take the same junction or roundabout again.
The interactive lesson board
The road, the cars and every decision, in your hand.
11 ready-made layouts, plus an open practice area for anything else. Each layout starts with your learner’s car, with L plates, in a sensible starting position.
SHOW ME AND FREE PRACTICE
Walk through it step by step, or set it up your way.
Use Show me to step through a ready-made layout one move at a time. Switch to Free practice to drag the cars into the positions your learner actually met.
- Drag any car, and turn it 15° at a time
- Add up to 10 cars, remove them, and undo a move
- Indicators, hazards, brake and reverse lights on the selected car
- Pen: circle a hazard or sketch a line with your finger, then clear it with one tap
- Reset to the starting position and go again
T-junctions and crossroads
Emerging from a side road, and going ahead across a minor crossroads.
Single-lane and two-lane
Straight on at a single-lane roundabout, and first exit from the left lane at a two-lane one.
Parking, meeting traffic and dual carriageways
Bay and parallel parking, moving off and stopping, slip roads, and overtaking and returning.
