A roundabout is an intersection; you need to signal the direction in which you are going to take. When turning right, you need to signal right, when going straight you don't signal, and when turning left or doing a U-turn you signal left. The only difference is that whenever you exit a roundabout you need to signal right to show you are exiting.

I had a great experience at this driving school! I had Cathy for both the in-class and in-car classes (I don't believe this is common practice, I had a small class so it was easier to schedule).
During the in-class segment I had no issues whatsoever. Cathy was both patient and clear with her instructions. As a mature (older) student, I really appreciated her no-nonsense cell phone and lunch rules, but some younger students may find these practices difficult. If you cant leave your phone in your bag for 5 hours (excluding the lunch break), learn how to before taking these classes. They are extremely easy to pass so long as you pay attention.
Cathy was also wonderful for my in-car lessons. Though I'd been driving for 5 years before taking the classes, I still had lots of room to improve and learn. By the end of my lessons, Cathy made me feel confident that I would pass my test. Another great thing about these lessons was that Cathy took me everywhere! My sister took her lessons at a different driving school, where they took the same route every day, so she was impressed to hear that I was taking different roads every day.
I would highly recommend this school to anyone! With this school and Cathy's help, I was easily able to pass my G2 test (the first time!) after putting it off for over five years.

It's great driving school, who actually cares about you and teaching you how to become good driver. I enjoyed it and would refer anyone to take this school. In two weeks I have learned a lot and I gained more experience and knowledge.😊

I went to this driving school a while back now but I had a great experience with Cathy, I would recommend this school for people who want to get their driver's license with ease and a lower insurance rate. I never failed any of the driving tests thanks to Pioneer!

Cathy the in class instructor was great but Mary the driving instructor was HORRIBLE. Her car barely works without jerking forward if you even look at the gas pedal. She also spent 30 minutes in my first lesson telling me how great she was and made me read EVERY card she got from a student.. she was basically telling me indirectly that I have to get her something. The actual driving was just as bad, she would tell me that she can't teach someone how to have a "feel" for the car but wouldnt actually tell me what I was doing wrong to begin with. We were reverse parking for the first time and she just kept telling me I wasnt doing it right but wouldnt tell me how to correct it which is her job. She also cancelled numerous times on me sometimes being the day of. If I should pay 25$ if I cancel then she should pay me for canceling. I work, she does not know if I took time off to do that lesson and just lost money like she would if I was a no show. The price is like everyone elses, might as well go to somewhere where you actually learn something

Max was the perfect driving instructor for me. He was patient, experienced, funny and an all-around nice person! He went over all the test curriculum multiple times and when I went to take my G2 test today, I passed! A very well-qualified instructor who definitely knows his field. Classroom portion of the course wasn't very interesting, but it's hard to make any of that seem interesting. Great price and great results!

This was a terrible terrible experience. Cathy (the in-class teacher) was terrible, and condesecding to every single person in the class. My driving instructor (Max) was so rude, impatient, did nothing but yell. He gave me so much anxiety that I quit the course without a refund. After driving with him I went home and cried and shook, he tramuatized me in the car and I had to start from the beginning to lean to drive.

If you can't, make sure you don't have Cathy (the owner) as your instructor.Cathy was the teacher for the classroom portion and she seemed to have very little experience or knowledge on how to teach. She would often tell personal stories, completely irrelevant to the class, and she would scream when students talked or were on their phones. Too many people were crammed into the tiny classroom so Cathy could make more money. Half the class had

I have finished the silver package in this school. The on road driving instructor was a very good and experienced driver. The biggest problem in this school is that the manager (Mrs Cathy) does not have neither the communication skills nor the decent personality that qualify her to be our class instructor. I suffered four days of very boring lessons with very tough interactions with her. In addition, she may know some theoretical concepts, However, without any ability to apply when it comes to
