@slock7803 aww no, that's such a shame!! Don't lose hope though - you're bound to pass next time - stay positive!! 😊👍

Thank you! Not over-confident but am pretty safe apart from little more practice on that…The way this year has flown it will come around quickly no doubt.

@slock7803 Hope so! Fingers crossed 🤞

Yeah thanks ..Tests are pretty tough these days

@slock7803 absolutely!! 😉👍

@@Fastandpro aw thank you, I try my best to be patient with other drivers, as I know we can all make mistakes!! I've done it, I've always claimed I'm not perfect, but it does make you wonder what goes on in other people's heads when they're driving. It does help to have a little patience sometimes - thanks for your kind comment 🙂👍

@andrewreardon8093 haha, thanks for the advice, I won't bore you on why I *had to* use them that day, but yes it was very rude! If I was ever caught saying that about one of my customers, I would be sacked instantly! Not that I wanted the guy to get the sack - but, surely he should know how some cars work - that the lights come on when you unlock it with the remote key fob and be aware of his surroundings, like dashcams that may still be recording! Anyway, thanks for your constructive criticism 🙂👍

@geoffpalmer6424 Yep, it's not a very good way to run a business - I certainly won't go back to them!! When my hubby saw this, he wanted to go down to "have words" with the fitter 😆 But I insisted, no just send a complaint in by email, which we did & to be fair, they did apologise, but it shouldn't have happened in the first place!! Thanks for your comment 👍

@@DriveSmartDash I contacted Kwilfit head office over my issue. I believe the manager got a rollocking. Make a complaint at the head office.

@English_lifestyles Haha, must agree with you there!! 😆👍

@dazza4017 no probs dazza (they're not very exciting though) but yeh, go ahead 😉👍

@DriveSmartDash thank you really appreciate it. Stay safe out there 🚘

@@AndrewRidley-m5o 🙂👍

@dazza4017 aw thanks Daz, I try my best!! Yeh, cows are funny 😁👍 Take care 🚗

@slock7803 yes, it's certainly a tricky one, as I said in a previous comment, you've just got to make a quick decision at the time, if it's safe to stop or not. 😊👍

Haha, no - I just shook my head!! Had it been my hubby driving - he probably would have!! 😂😂

@edbot456 haha, I have made mistakes and even uploaded them on this channel, so obviously I'm not perfect - I only passed my test 3 years ago, but my hubby says I'm a better driver than some he's seen around here who have probably been driving a lot longer! 😆

@slock7803 I'm not too sure, but you would think so!! If I was the mini driver, I would just have waited, as it was a tight space to squeeze through because of the parked cars on my side. But good job he was able to stop!! 🙂👍

@AlexMitchell-sj4sb Good to hear you teach your son road safety Alex!! Hope it sticks with him. 🙂👍

I wasn't Educated at School what so ever......Victimised by *Female* Teachers!!! 3 years wasted!!!!! 3rd year - 5th Year refused to Teach Me!!! Removed from General Classes with Female Teachers. NONE Violent & NONE Physical!! Accused by Tutor of Verbal Abuse (Religious Studies)......NEVER SAID 1 WORD!!! When I look back at it.......Should've known Copy&Paste Teachers aren't worthy of the Time!!!! Should've got in touch with Ofstead!!!!!

@slock7803 thanks! Yeh possibly, I don't think he was looking far enough ahead to see that the road narrows into 1 lane and there's the hatch markings on the ground - but as I said, the sun might have been in his eyes - it was pretty blinding (glad I had my sunglasses on) 😎👍

@@smilerbob naughty naughty Bob! 😆 😆👍

@@Grandpapiyorks Haha, good one! 😆👍

@Mike_5 I think so too 😆👍

@Travis-guy-247 hey, we've all been there!! Thanks for being honest though 😉👍 I'm certainly not perfect either & have uploaded a couple of clips on my channel where I've been in the wrong, guess it teaches us to be better drivers. But the guy in my clip just ignored that I had my reverse lights on & must have thought "what is this stupid woman doing" & decided to pull out - but then he would have seen the truck coming & had no option but to reverse. 😆 Thanks for checking out my channel 😀👍

@@simon199418 Hmmkay 😏

@@みどり404 😆👍

@@danielreed5199 yep, I noticed that 😆👍

@@DriveSmartDash :):)

@@WayneTulip-zm9gw Good forward planning Wayne 😊👍 I think it would be a good idea to put traffic lights at this junction, as you can see from the sign - cars coming from my direction have to give way to traffic coming up the hill, but unfortunately you can't see what's coming until you've actually stopped at the give-way line - it's an accident waiting to happen. Thanks for your comment 😊👍

Good point, but if you look at the front view again from my car, there's no way he would have known it was a big truck oncoming, as we're on a hill AND a bend in the road. He could have squeezed past me if it was just another car coming up, although that would have been cheeky (and a very tight squeeze) - but when he eventually saw the truck, he had no option but to reverse back! I could also see his hands flapping a couple of times, so obviously not happy he couldn't get past me 😂

I'm good thanks, yeh no probs if you use it, but please don't speed it up! 😆👍 You have a good day too 👋🙂

@smilerbob It's possible Bob, but I wasn't indicating & only had my reverse lights on for a second, had he waited a few seconds, he would have seen the truck? But good point 😊👍

@@DriveSmartDash Ah, in that case most likely didn’t look and thought they could just go 🤦‍♂️

@@smilerbob I'd go with that Bob 😆👍

Mostly likely the case I think. Honest misinterpretation, and no harm done. I don't think there's a need to shame the guy, we all make mistakes with the best intentions.

@clueadoption7610 I'm honestly not trying to shame the guy - just pointing out if he'd waited a few seconds, he would have seen the truck coming, so basically he shamed himself! And yes I know, we all make mistakes - I'm not perfect either - I've even uploaded some mistakes I've made on this channel. People just need to be a bit more patient 😊👍

@@dazza4017 thank you! 😊👍

@@where_is_mark it's certainly confusing!! 🤔

@MacBob I get that, but shouldn't you be in the right hand lane if that's the case (while indicating right) & then just before your exit, indicate left and spiral over to the left to take the exit? 🤔

@@DriveSmartDash absolutely. but on small roundabouts with only one lane that's not possible. It does become more confusing on multi-lane roundabouts where drivers giving a right indication can lead to conflicts. The rule is to use indicators as a suggestion what the driver will do but don't trust them until you're sure!

@MacBob thanks for your comment MacBob, I've only been driving for just over 3 years (a bit late at aged 57) and although I'm in no way perfect, the standard of some drivers here in the Scottish Borders is terrible to say the least 😳 😄👍

@@DriveSmartDash Unfortunately, driving standards have dropped significantly in the 36 years I've been driving. The level of instruction seems poorer (e.g. my step daughter wasn't taught to check blind spots!) and the amount of in car distractions have increased massively. Having said that, I'd still rather drive here than many of the other countries I've driven in but that's more likely due to familiarity rather than the driving standards!

@MacBob wow, can't believe your stepdaughter wasn't taught to use the blind spot! 😲 While I was learning with my instructor and my hubby, I also followed some good driving instructors youtube channels, e.g. Ashley Neal, Conquer Driving, DGN Driving to name a few - they were a massive help to me. And I still watch them now, as I believe we can still learn something new every day! 😄👍

@jamessv5020 They did a pretty good job at confusing the other drivers behind him (or her) including me 😆

@@DriveSmartDash I'm sure it did, if you say so. However, how is that the driver's fault? It's one of those things where our assumptions are more at fault than someone else's actions. I'm just as guilty, but hindsight is... 20/20.

@@jamessv5020 I'm in no way perfect either, and as I said in a previous comment, it could have been a mistake - I was only highlighting what a strange way to indicate if they did do it deliberately 🤔

You shouldn't indicate unless you're going right. Going straight you use no indicator, then put on a left signal after you pass the first exit.

@jxms7207 but this particular driver in front of me was in the left hand lane (but indicating right), this is where it's confusing. Had he been in the right hand lane, there wouldn't have been an issue, or had he NOT signalled at all & carried on round in the left hand lane and then indicated left before his exit (as exactly what I did) then I wouldn't even have uploaded the clip 😄👍 Thanks for your comment though.

@cloudisfast3361 thank you!! That's exactly what I thought 😄👍

@smilerbob Thanks Bob, I was only going by what hubby tells me - he's more of a petrol head than I am, but it's great to see how well some of these classic cars have been looked after! Yeh, the sheep!! 😄 I was out for a drive with my sister & just pulled into the lay-by when I saw them coming down the road - I thought for a minute one of them was going to jump on my bonnet, but they actually behaved really well 🐑 😄👍

@Bolle398 I didn't realise this (maybe just me, but I think it could be really confusing!) 🤔 Thanks for your comment though 😊👍

Yep, I have actually seen worse too, but in this case - as I said, I wasn't intimidated by the volvo - they had plenty time & space to overtake me and then the learner (if they were in such a hurry) but as I was about to turn right a few yards further on, I thought it would be pointless overtaking the learner & putting them under more stress. (But hey, that's just me) Thanks for your comment though 😊👍

I know, I did say that in one of my other comments, it could have been a mistake, but if they did it deliberately - they were clearly in the wrong 🤔

@@DriveSmartDash I've seen people do this plenty of times before (MIL also does it). I saw someone do it the other day and thought it was just a mistake, but they did it at the next roundabout too. I have no idea what the thought process is other than signalling that they aren't taking the first exit, but confusing all other drivers in the process.

@cloudisfast3361 glad it's not just me who's confused 🤪

Absolutely! As I said in one of my other comments - we can all make mistakes - it's easy done, It's a true saying I use on this channel a lot. . . "Always expect the unexpected" 😂👍

@smilerbob haha, I know Bob, I just don't get it? He was (almost) in the correct lane for going ahead, but shouldn't be indicating at all till the island at the first exit, then put a left signal on (as I did) 😄👍

@@ericbauwens824 merci, cela m'a déjà été expliqué. Merci pour votre commentaire. 😊👍

Why thank you! 😊👍

@dazza4017 aww thanks, I'm not perfect by any means, but try my best!! 😊👍

@RevItUp01 Yeh, no probs 😊👍

@@DriveSmartDash thanks! a lot!

I had a bird literally high five my fist with it's wing trying to fly infront if me, on my bike a couple weeks ago I've also had one literally fly inbetween my wheels a few months ago too, luckiest mthr fkrs ever 💀

@@hissingsid3907 Now, now Hissing Sid!! Not all cyclists are bad - just the same as car drivers - you'll get good & bad drivers too 😉👍

@@Dashflix Yes you can. Please DON'T speed it up though, by all means cut the length if you have to. You have a good day too 😊👍

@slock7803 yeh, found it really strange why he was parked there, as the store is just on my left, where there is a massive entrance specifically for these big HGV's - maybe he took a wrong turn?? 😉👍

@smilerbob couldn't say for sure Bob, that's what I said in the description though 😆👍

Yeh no probs - but please don't zoom in or speed it up, like Dashflix does 😂😂 By all means, cut the length if you need to 😊👍

@@DriveSmartDash cheers mate much appreciated 👍 the video is good I will probably cut it slightly shorter that's all. Thanks again mate.

@dazza4017 no probs 👍

I thought that at first, but when I reviewed the footage, his reverse lights did come on for a second (see 0:38 / 0:39 ), but yeh very steep & tight from that angle 😮
