Resist the urge to act immediately.

The myth that you need to offset the mirrors I'm sure has been around foe over 50 years.

Tomorrow is my test... Fully tensed..😢

Thank you for the videos. These helped me to pass the test.

Nicely explained I must admit I like to check the sides on the motorway. Or use the right mirror on a nice long straight and go do I have a good view behind down the right and when you ain't allowed to use the bus lane and go fo I have a good view down the left to see bob or maybe me not that I would pass on the left if indicating if the car is moving or setting off . Especially if they are very close to the junction. Mirrors should be set before moving off the things I mentioned are just a final check where you go I'm happy with the view or I need to tweak the view

By the time you're are leaving the town to go somewhere you are now expected to make your own decision

Because if it was a 30 people would complain about having to sit on them for 4 hours

The potholes do the same job.

Communication with the other driver through signals is key . So before the junction pause to ask the question are you going straight or right. Right hold back if straight then use the space. Dont rush and give people time to decide what they want to do

Look at the state of that road.

Those types of speed bumps where i live scrape the bottom of cars so have to go in the middle of them

Thanks for the education

Pet hate is people that don't slow down for speed bumps. Ive always slowed down for speed bumps. Some you have to go in first gear especially the short nasty ones. I ain't worried about slowing people down behind. They have brakes that they can use

Whats your thoughts on being over the solid white line but blocking the pedestrian area?

Just touching the dipstick 🤣

Good Video Once you get into the Car you if you must adjust your Seat because someone else drove with it you must be able to Push the Clutch Down all the way to the Floor and your left leg must be angled not stretched out.

Nice Video

Scanning what's in the Distance is key

I've had my License since April 2022 I live in Switzerland 3 Years after your Driving Test you receive your Offical License.

do you need to signal on spiral roundabouts or is it misleading as people may think you’re changing lanes?

Very good explanation

This was great

Head up look far forward and you have better balance. When you walk through a busy airport with busy people coming from all directions you keep your head raised and able to find a path through the koas without crashing into people as you become aware of your surroundings. So when driving imagine walking down the road and simply look where you would look if walking, you don't look down at your feet when walking, you look into the distance. It's exactly the same when driving

Very helpful, what I was looking for to understand. Was confused and thought had to wait for the green filter arrow to go.

As long as youre not blocking traffic from turning right or going straight on from the opposite direction you're good. I think people get confused with stopping and waiting

when queueing in traffic, should you always try to keep the entrance and exit of side roads free and not block them? or do you only need to make sure the entrance is free for people in the oncoming lane to use?

I’m from Australia and I don’t think we have any ‘minimum speed’ signs across any of our states. I understand that maintaining a certain speed is needed for adequate traffic flow/preventing congestion but what scenarios exist where the blue sign is used instead of the red sign? And does it have a cap? If it’s a blue 40 sign, does that mean you can do ANY speed limit above 40km/h (including 80 or 100km/h)?

when there’s 2 exits on a mini roundabout that are to the right, do you indicate right if you take either of them or only for the furthest right?

Was always taught 5 seconds saying “only a fool breaks the five second rule”

I passed my test here in 2021. I came up this road via Prestbury and then went through Bishops Cleeve via New Road which is the next left turn on the main road. Thankfully, I drive an automatic which means I don't have to worry about hill starts or rolling back!

I'm glad you seemed to appear on TH-cam with all these great videos at the time I'm learning to drive (as an older learner of 40). Your knowledge always comes through as well as a great personality and way of explaining things, you're a credit to your instructors everywhere 😊

Yeah don't advertise the mistake

Practice makes the biggest difference. If you csn weekly lessons and Practice daily if possible it then means at the next lesson you are ready for the next lesson and don't need to repeat the last lesson and can move forward with learning. My instructor got discussed with my mum what I had being doing on lessons and what to work on. Drive in areas you don't know if you can do that and you don't need help to do other than direction you're ready. First lesson I asked when I could do my test and my instructor said let's go into the city and see how you get on the bigger roads . Right you're will be ready after 6 lessons we'll get you booked in . I was always taught mske the examiner feel safe don't be too confident and take risks. You've to show you are ready to be on your own and are a safe driver and will fit in with the rest of the drivers.

Very useful information

my test in gloucester was cancelled so i’ve booked a last minute one for cheltenham, any tips or best areas for me to practice? thanks!

Thanknu miss

That looks like the most miserable country to ever live in. And they have all that trash taking over the streets.

Tricky junction them type. I'd say anyone who has junctions like that go and practice them don't avoid them

Thanks for your video. It was very helpful.

So which of the three most important people are the most important? 🤔

The biggest mistake people when overtaking cyclist is they simply don't look at the space available but they look too much at the cyclist which causes them to get close . Rarther than think I want the space to be as big as possible which will naturally put you on the opposite side of the road giving you over 1.5m. Follow at 2 seconds the same as a car not 1.5 as you said . Ask yourself before overtaking would you overtake a cat if the answer is no then don't overtake. If you watch reg local he had a good piece on overtaking cyclist it was simply prepare to follow then plan the overtake which stops the rushed overtake . Narrow country road 1.5m is impossible and you need to let the cyclist dictate when the overtake happens. If they know it's going to happen it ain't as scary especially if it's close. Like yesterday on the bike I was over a little narrow country road single lane so the 1.5 rule goes out of the window. The people that catch us up have to follow until I can see a place that I feel safe to be overtaken it will still be less than 1.5m but if you come past slowly it's fine , don't rush past as this causes turbulent air that causes the cyclist to get tucked into your wheels that why these distance exists plus if they need to swerve out for a pot hole thier is room. So yesterday before coming to a very steep hill I'm assessing who I might meet coming down and behind . Anyone coming down I want them to clear and people behind I want them to be in front as a car was behind I simply found a safe place to pull in a let them past as on the climb I won't pull in as I will never get going it's something like 20% . Then a bit later on could see a car coming in the distance so I pulled in before I could see them as I knew they had to be just coming back into view. Then a bit later on thier was a big massive puddle which I'm not going through for anyone as I knew a car was approaching from behind planning to overtake I actually looked back over my shoulder moved position on the road and hand signal to say I'm using the right lane to go around the flood give the driver plenty of warning the pull back the left as soon as possible and once safe stick my hand up to say thanks.

These videos are definitely helpful ! Especially for PDI's training as driving instructors and doing their ADI Part 2 test, which means high standards expected compared to a learner test, got my ADI Part 2 test in October so I'm getting a load of practise along as many various roads as possible We also need to be the expert knowledge in driving the essentials and highway code

Doesnt apply to bmw/audi 😅

Are the hands supposed to be touching one another?

I've recently started driving again after over a decade of not having a car and there's so much to brush up on, but I'm focusing on familarising myself with one thing at a time. Your uploads always seem to be synchronised with what I'm grappling with every time, it's uncanny :D thank you, your stuff is quality, the subs will balloon in no time!

Keeping in the lane correctly is the secret of how to use a spiral roundabout.

👍👍👌

I wish more people drove like that. The number of people who cut across lanes instead of following the lane lines is unbelievable.

Another good video, helps explain how to go round the roundabout safely. Prevents the automatic changing lane scenario which happens when you are a learner. I can say, as it happens to me.

Every entrance to this roundabout is a nuisance, people cut the lanes constantly, as a motorcyclist I always pray the lights will be red so I can filter to the front and get in front of the idiots.
