    Good luck on getting an instructor at 7am on a Sunday morning.
    Perhaps you could point out where anyone suggested getting an instructor to take the OP out at 7am on any morning?  The suggestion was for the OP to try it himself early in the morning when it is quiet on the roads.

    I think the point of driving the roundabout on a Sunday morning is that there will be few other people around. That way, if you find yourself in the wrong lane, you can indicate and change into the right lane.

    Once you know the layout of any roundabout, you should be able to get it right every time, without having to read the road signs.
    If it sticks, force it.
    If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.

    Think we are going around in circles here.
    The OP has stated they have a problem on busy major road - When we learn to drive or take our tests it is usually on roads that are not very busy so once we have passed then we are all thrown in at the deep end and have to learn to cope.

    The best advice has been givem - take some advanced driving lessons - going out on the road @ 3.00 am you will have stretches it to yourself and will not achieve anything- a different story at 3.00pm

    It is not knowing the road that is the problem it is lack of confidence, I do wonder who taught the OP to drive and where. There should have been some instruction on this.
