Valuable information as always, Reg. As regards tip 2 (eyes up) my observer, when I was doing IAM, talked about the 'fishing line' technique. Throw your vision as far out as possible then pull it back to the car, and go on repeating as a fisherman does when casting. The analogy has always stuck in my mind.
I don't live in the UK, but I can always get some knowledge and inspiration from your videos on Advanced Driving. I'm a big fan of you.
As a driving enthusiast, sports car owner, I appreciate these tips. I am considering getting into motorcycling, could you do a video on the risks vs rewards of riding a motorcycle.
don't, why...u can't control idiots on the road & anticipate what idiotic decisions they will make behind the wheel. You have zero protection on a motorcycle...it's your body
Great tip, for the relax point always recommend leaving ample time for a journey and if you aren’t relaxed you can use time in the car as moment to calm down and take 5 minutes before setting off
Very good advice. Just shared this with my two sons, keen they are not distracted by the females in the passenger seats!
Perhaps start by letting them know that use of the term ‘females’ is only appropriate if they’re participating in a motorised zoological expedition.
@@simonpetrson4408 Exactly. The correct term is "clunge".
I was driving a van on a two lane road through a village and had a car right up behind me, really close. There was a small car parked on my side so I indicated well in advance, didn't adjust my speed and pulled out to pass it. The car behind me ran into it. Unbelievably he made out that I'd swerved at the last minute and "stitched him up". I retorted that everything happens at the last minute when you're not aware of what's coming..
I’m guessing his insurance company didn’t agree that it was your fault
@@richardnicholson3912 I only gave my details to the bloke who's parked car got hit. His insurer asked me for a statement but I never heard any more.
I need to install front and rear dash cam. Good drivers have nothing to hide
I added "situational awareness" to my start drill (just before "signal and move off"). It's my cue to get into the regular driving state of mind.
Cant stop watching your videos, you explain everything so well and go into good detail. I cant help but think how advanced driving should be compulsory as I personally feel the overall quality of driving in Britian is very very poor.
If driving quality is poor in Britain, you should check South Italy or worse, Albania. You need nerves here..it feels like the wild-west sometimes.
I just purchased a BMW Motor Sport a few months back which is faster than my previous car by far, I find your videos as a female driver very informative . Looking forward to more great videos .
Thanks Triveni - enjoy your new car! 👍
Very nice, simple tips, but very practical. Thank you sir.
Five potentially life-saving tips - all explained perfectly. Thank you.
Thank you Reg. I am just discovering you and finding you very helpful, after driving for over forty years!
It’s been one year this month since I completed my Advanced Driving course with Blue light element, for the ambulance service and watch your videos religiously. Always great to keep up on skills and knowledge. I love the videos , keep up the great work
One thing Id like to see focused on is the importance of sleep! In my opinion it affects your cognition, spacial awareness and reaction time probably even more than stress
excellent video reg
Not the same discipline but as a train driver for thirty years you’re always looking for the earliest possible sight of the next signal or in some locations, doing 90 coming down towards Gatwick for example, the next three or four signals, well over a mile. Have you greens all the way, are you going to get stopped, are you catching up the one in front , you can see two yellows way up in the distance or is he running late and you’ve got the road properly clear in front of you.
I’ve been doing the scanning on bikes for years and it’s obvious when a car driver is not looking past the end of their own bonnet.
Sounding more like ‘life tips’ Reg! Looking forward to when you get the chance to extend the M2C on the Highland roads. Cheers, Kevin. PS concur with the backing off tip and the benefits that can bring when you have a tailgater. Someone rear ended my car when I was 19 (mother in the car so no typical male teenager driving) and I’m now over 50 yet if the traffic flow slows quickly I instinctively look in the rear view mirror to see what, if anything, is heading towards me.
Excellent videos 😎
Your calm, methodical approach to driving reminds me of a pilot's unflappable demeanor. I mean that as high praise--nothing is quite so useful as a clearheaded attitude.
Excellent Vid' Reg Local. Thanks for passing on your experience.
Absolutely spot on Sir. Nice informative clip for all drivers
The move to remove buttons from the cockpit and have screens for everything is a recipe for disaster in my mind. The current high end Audi’s are an example of touchscreen overkill which i personally think is dangerous, with buttons you have muscle memory and can keep your eyes on the road.
Great advice my main issue is when I’m stressed because my son has made us late for drop off to pre school although not so much of an issue since working from home recently which takes the stress away
I’d stop letting your son drive Martin - have a go yourself!
I really enjoy your videos ,I try to put all your instructions into practice when I’m driving or motorcycling,thanks Reg.
I was in the left most lane at a red light for well over 1 minute. The lane facing me was on green and changed to red. My lane changed to green. I waited 2 seconds, set my gear and began to move after checking all 4 intersections.
Having almost cleared the intersection I heard a horn blaring and looked left and saw lights facing me. I accelerated but still received a glancing blow. That person had a red light for a full minute or more and just decided to drive across the highway. Up to now I am not sure what I could have done differently to prevent the accident.
Great video
Very helpful as always
Thank you for another helpful video. Nice video Reg!
Would you elaborate, or perhaps do a specific video on how to deal with the common plague of tailgating? I am currently going through the IAM advanced driving training, as I drive 40,000 miles/yr for work, and my biggest source of anxiety while driving is being tailgated.
Less safety behind means you need more in front. Leave a bigger gap so if you have to brake you have more time and crucially so does he. Also the bigger gap might encourage him to fuck off.
Good tips, Reg! Thanks for the video!
Great video Reg thanks for the tips
Very informative & sound advise 🚗👍
Thank you Reg, looking forward for more of these type of tips
CEABR doesn't make for a good acronym. Although IPSGA doesn't either but you can say it (phonetically?) as a reminder. Great advice.
Very good information sir ❤from India
Great idea for a video. We do need to connect more to non-advanced drivers, and something this length with an eye catching title is prob the way to go. Would be great if you could make the move from youtube to TV to get a bigger audience. Not sure how you might feel about that. I do have to say now I am IAM trained I struggle to maintain a conversation with a passenger. I usually drop in bits of commentary ( obscure hazards ) to make them realise I'm not being rude, and get them also thinking better about how to control the risks of driving. One point I keep forgetting: I've no issue about your hand gestures in all the videos, which are part of communication, but would remind people to learn to keep both hands on the wheel, as it is I assume a test requirement. Some point you could do a video on hand signals and avoiding the use of flashing the headlights and all that. Many thanks.
I liked your comment that just because you have priority, you're not necessarily going to get it. Put me in mind of my favourite epitaph
Here lies the body of Edwin Grey,
Died disputing the right of way,
He was right, so right, as he sped along
But he's just as dead as if he'd been wrong.
Thanks for another great video, very clear and informative.
Really good tips, thank you. I did some voluntary work which required you to go on a shift mentally taking off your normal 'hat' and putting on another, suited to the role. I try to 'put on a driver's hat' so to speak, when I get into the car! On a different tack, how are you finding the suspension on the M2 Comp for day to day driving?
Flow state, hyper vigilance, remove ego, grip the wheel tight, brake early
Very good video. I have subscribed my Marlboro m2c video channel now.

Wow. I've never seen a Supra in a video on the internet before.
Any film/video that can help drivers stay safe gets my vote. Most drivers are not only useless, they don't have any road sense (or common sense). On a daily basis the majority don't indicate, cannot maintain a safe speed limit except when in a 40 zone, then they'll do 32. In a 30 they'll do 40. They'll tailgate while texting, phoning or both. I recently drove past a muscle car, driver not only was watching football on the phone, he was also using a laptop while smoking a joint. Vile person was in the middle lane of the M11 approx 45mph. To get past I had to undertake & tooted my horn, which is extremely loud. He jumped out of his skin.Beautiful! Recently saw a people carrier fly past me on the outside lane on the A428. I managed to get a glance into it as it went past me and i saw children jumping around in the car. So I decided to follow and we got up to 98mph (98)!!. The car then took the off-ramp at Camborne. I followed it into Morrisons car park. The door opens and this rough scruffy dog of a woman gets out the car, and 4 little kids all got out too. Was going to confront her but here gray leggings bulging with cellulite, not only stopped me, they also put me off my dinner. Problem I have with this, to put kids in such danger is despicable but when this selfish bitch crashes, and the kids are killed, it'll be in the paper with surviving husband 'I just don't understand it, Muriel my stinky wife, was such a safe driver and was very conscientious'.No mate, she wasn't. Best time to drive, and good drivers will back me up on this, is the rush hour. You're probably thinking 'Wha..? Who..? but there's too many cars' etc. Again its common sense. Rush hour drivers are some of the best in the UK (If that's you, excellent driving my friend) because they do the same journey every single day. They understand what risks, safety measures, speeds, best lanes to use etc. These drivers aren't interested in cutting anyone up, there not dawdling or texting. All they want to do is get home, or a date, repair man coming at 6pm, or whatever. Not interested in tailgating....and most of them use indicators! Of course when a RTC happens traffic builds rapidly because of so many vehicles on the road . Even the police respond and deal with RTC far quicker in rush hour. Finally I want thank all coach and lorry drivers. They do an incredible job by delivering our 'stuff'. National Express coach drivers are some of best I've ever seen. How Hgv & coach drivers behave on the road should be an example to us all. Gotta go now, got a roundabout coming up and don't want to crash. If you do comment be nice.
2:10 Owd Betts!
Where could one get advanced driving training from?

I don't understand drivers who don't pul over as soon as possible when they are being tailgated. A driver may have good reasons for having to speed
