Approaching Junctions UK Made Easy - Pass your driving test series

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 มิ.ย. 2019
- How you approach a junction is fundamental to how well it goes. Personally I dislike the traditional Mirror, Signal, Position, Speed, Look routine which is normally taught to UK learner drivers so I created my own routine: Mirrors, Signal, Speed, Gear, Decide. Find out why this routine is important and how it will help you improve your decision making skills as well as your ability to approach junctions comfortably.
This video is created by an experienced driving instructor, please subscribe to get my latest videos as I upload them to help you pass the UK Driving Test.
Here is my driving school's website:

That's great news, enjoy your licence!
@@ConquerDriving hi why do u have to give gas in some cars before bringung to biting point?
You should give gas in all cars really. It's to do with the car's computer and how much help it gives you, if you don't give gas the computer has too. Best not rely on the computer when all cars are different and best learn the skill so you can drive all cars.
@@asavlogsalltruthrevealed7483 I have a little 2008 5 door Reno Clio so even on a flat surface I need revs to pull away. I can creep around very slowly with just the clutch but I have to be very careful or it will stall. However in my instructors car (a ford focus st or something like that) I can pull away with just the clutch. I think it’s to do with how modern the car is and maybe the engine size?
@@badatosu5781bigger engines or engines with a turbo will typically have more torque low down so they may be able to move off with lower rpms, same with diesels as they produce more torque lower down, however unless it is a massive engine it is not likely to move off very fast at all. a small say older cars with a 1 litre naturally aspirated engine will likely need more gas than a modern 1.0 turbo petrol today for example
OH MY GOD, I JUST HAD THIS PROBLEM TODAY AND THAT'S WHAT I NEEDED .. MADE SO MANY MISTAKES, BUT THIS WAS THE DOMINANT ONE.
I hope it helps.
You’re my fav instructor and I don’t even actually have lessons with you or pay you. It’s so amazing you do this for free because this is such amazing advice
Now I have got my confidence back. I was so disappointed on me today as I was looking right for oncoming cars and My steering, speed, gear, position everything was wrong. Thanks a lot Richard. No one understand learners like us better than you. Hat’s off to you Sir.
That's so nice to hear. Thank you.
Finally someone is mentioning the almighty gear! Hallelujah! I don't understand why less focus is made on gear like it doesn't matter but it really DOES! You're an amazing instructor! So intelligent! Thank you for this video 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I'm happy you're pleased!
@@ConquerDriving I've got to agree that teaching driving is a talent to you. You make it look easy;)
I've had 5 double lessons so far, and while I took the first 3 to even start comprehending the car, the progress I made on my last 2 sessions is owed to your amazing videos! The steering was one of my issues and this has now mostly been resolved by watching a couple of your videos - my instructor said I was a different person! I am so excited about learning now at 34, I really look forward to my lessons, and knowing that your channel is here for me, I am simply enjoying my learning journey. SO MUCH FUN. See you on the road and thank you soooo much! :D
I have enrolled in driving school but I think I learn more in front of my laptop than I do there in class. Thanks a ton...
Thank you, I wish you the best of luck 🤞
this is so true!! i have learned more from youtube than in my lessons and these are free as well???
Your bit about learners deciding too early is literally what I have been doing and it's caused me so much anxiety because my instructor kept telling me off and I didn't realize what I was doing wrong until after.
I hope it helps.
I wish you were my instructor. These videos are so much better than the way my instructor is explaining EVERYTHING! You're an amazing teacher and explain things so well, breaking it down nicely.
Two years have passed since you posted this video and you still give hope and encouragement to learner drivers. I was about to quit learning when I came across your channel. This video in particular helped me overcome my anxiety. Thank you, sir.
That's so great to hear, thank you.
Hey man, deepest gratitude for your content here. Your vids are the perfect complement to actual driving lessons. (I especially found this one useful.) Passed 1st time today, 2 minors. Thanks a lot!
Congratulations on passing!
This channel has been sent from Heaven. Thank you.
Really good explanations. Thank you. I've been an instructor for 45 years and I sometimes look for helpful videos to recommend to my pupils as 'homework'. I often pick fault in other instructional videos that I've seen on TH-cam but yours are extremely helpful and clear and a lot of your expressions, opinions and methods are the same as mine, especially the MSPSL routine. Thanks again and expect some more subscribers soon as I'll be telling my pupils where to watch you.
Thanks you :)
Wow Amazing! I did apply your method in today's lesson and you know I wasn't panic at all and I didn't stall even once at junctions. Thank you so much for making it easy for learners.
You're welcome!
You’ve explained the slowing down on time and judging the junction very clearly as I’m struggling with that at the moment. Thank you 🙏🏽
I had a really lousy confidence trashing session earlier this week getting just about everything wrong without knowing why or how to improve. My instructor could only tell me that I'm thinking too much without much concrete advice. This video really hit head, indeed I was too busy looking out for cars and trying to decide if it was safe or not, leading to wrong speed, wrong gears, over/under braking. I'm going to keep this in mind for my next lesson!
1:16 Absolute legend 😂
If only you were my driving instructor. Your explanation and demonstration is very clear. Very much helpful to me. I will apply this to my next lesson. Thank you so much 🖒
Good luck 🤞
I have my test in 10 days and I'm already learning and understanding so much more than I did with my instructors you explain everything so much easier instead of complicated like they do I've improved so so much and stopped stalling as I always forgot to put into first gear lol binge watching your videos thank you for the help you've already given me I'm much more confident now 😊
I find these videos so useful. I am learning a lot from them. These are explained really well. I find it helpful that not only do you get shown/told how to so something but you are given an example or a reason as to why not to do it a certain way. Thank you
I know this video has been here for a long time but I would like to say thankyou for showing the situation from the video as it showed EXACTLY SAME with my learning journey and now i can figure out what’s my problem and im going to learn from it. Thank for this.
I watched just this video for the first time, I found it, you're number one instructor I've ever seen. You know my problem at junction. Thanks I will watch your video even if I pass my test that scheduled after 3 weeks
Thank you and you're welcome
Your videos explanation are excellent. I've learned more in 5mn than in 2 months with my Instructor. You're the best
Thank you, I wish you the best of luck.
This is so useful - I have my lesson in about 10 minutes and I still worry about junctions. I definitely prefer your routine, it just makes sense and flows, so thank you!
UPDATE: Okay this video was super helpful with knowing which gears to use when approaching open and closed junctions! My lesson went great :):)
im in the same position- so nervous
Did you pass?
I spent so much in learning these basics and it was a free videos which actually made me understand this completely and clearly. Thank you.
I have a licence but I didn't drive after I passed the exam, life happened. So now I'm taking some live lessons, but I've found your channel and find your advice SO helpful to remember things and relearn. I moved to Switzerland recently and my test was done in Croatia, so I have to keep in mind that you ride 'on the other side of the road'. However, I'm noticing that what you're teaching and what they're testing is really in depth. I liked my Croatian instructors, because they explained things, but you've showed some things I always wondered how they look but didn't look it up (or fortog by the time I got to the computer), and having it all in one place, systematically, is pure awesomeness. Thank you for doing this and sharing with the world!
That was awesome! Great way of explaining everything. Wish my driving instructor was like you. Mine just sits there in silence and makes broody faces. Meh. Learnt more from you in this video than ever did in past sessions with her.
I'm happy to be of help :)
Absolutely love watching your videos. You explain everything so simple!
Another amazing video tutorial to watch. The key feature to approach a junction for a new learner is to take things one at a time. I totally agree.
Thank you Richard for your very clear explanation on how to approach junction. As a learner driver, your videos has given me my confidence back and I am not dreading of my driving lessons anymore
I just want to say a big thank you to you that i watched many of your videos which helped my driving test in big time. You made learning driving less scary and much simpler. Advice to anyone that is learning now, watch these videos and think about it , try to really understand it and practice, you will pass.
I’ve seen this video more than 3 times .. Thank you so much for simplifying driving for us and making it easy to understand … I’ve got my driving test tomorrow… watching your videos back to back 😊
Just want to say a massive thank you for this video and explanation! My test is soon approaching and I was struggling with the “MSPSL” - just had a lesson and used your tips! Worked every time!
I'm happy to be of help :)
Huge help. For ages I found it tricky to figure out when to change gear down for junctions, always felt I was doing it too late, thanks for making such great videos.
I had this problem with junctions today. even it's only my second lesson, I feel like my instructor's comments don't really help much for me to gain confidence at junctions. but this video helped a lot! gotta try this on my next lesson! thanks you!
Oh my word, ive tried to learn twice, the last time being an intensive course which i quit a week before my test because of intense anxiety. Im now realising that the anxiety came purely from lack of understanding! I was told what to do but not taught how to understand what I was doing. Your videos are fantastic. Im booking in for a week pass course again in a few weeks and i think these videos will help no end! Thankyou!
Thank you Eleanor. Being anxious behind the wheel is not pleasant. Try to accept that it's OK for you to get things wrong, learners get things wrong all the time. I get things wrong sometimes too.
Thats definitely a struggle of mine, ive always found the theory side of it so easy so when i make a mistake on the practical side whilst learning i just don't get why i can't get it right straight away, evwn though logically I know im being daft thinking that way! Again your videos are already helping me relax more about driving, thanks again!
@@eleanorjohnson-wade9999 If it makes you feel better, you're not alone, I've had plenty of customers who experience the same thing. You will get there, just keep at it.
Thank you so much I'm in same situation and today another lesson with new instructor will use your MSSGD. Thank you.
I using my Hong Kong drive licence to exchange UK licence, I spend a week to study all your videos to learn how to drive safely in UK, Thanks and very practical!😊❤
Thank you so much! I think you have every remedies to my driving problems, I recently nearly got myself in accident due to trying to changing gears downhill before slowing down, so I recommend everyone to practice with most trusted physical instructor. I've been teached by my friend who was not good at all.
Can you make more vedios please your explanation is perfect and informative understandable
I'm on it, they take me a while and I do it in my spare time so I struggle to do more than 1 every three weeks. In the future when I have more subscribers and earn some money from the channel I hope to be able to teach less and make more videos.
Thank you soo much for this, this is something I’ve been having a problem with, I thank god I came across your channel 🙏🏽
Thank you, I'm glad it's helping you.
I always make a mistake in judging when approaching the junction because I tend to think everything because of the MSPSL. I usually ending up not bended left or very too close to the curb. I am on my 3rd lesson about left junction and my instructor wanted me to do it perfectly. I will try this method on my 4th lesson leaving a lot of time to decide. Thanks God I found your channel. This will be very helpful as I started late in deciding to learn how to drive as I am in 40s already. Thanks for the videos.
Try to be patient with yourself, learning does take time, accept getting things wrong as you learn and try to enjoy it.
I cant believe how many times I had issues with this. Finally I can show this to my instructor because “Look” in a manoeuvre doesn’t make sense
Thanks for the advice!! I'm about to have my driving lesson and I was unsure but now I'm way more confident.
I'm taking auto driving lessons in singapore (also RHD!) my first lesson didn't go very well for all the learner driver anecdotes which you mentioned. Now that i've watched your video it's so helpful, and definitely will bring this knowledge to future lessons. Thanks a lot man
To everyone. I did Driving Lesson with my dad and it was Good in my power, But i was tired and knew it wasn't gonna go well. He said "Thats it no more lessons".
At that moment I knew He gave up on me. Well I don't need him. I'll Learn myself with people who are willing.
The only one who can beat me is me.
Remember This - Power Forward and Don't value people who are Bad.
Thank you so much for this video! This is just what I needed to be more confident when approaching roundabouts. I am so ready for my next driving lesson :)
I really needed this video as I’ve been struggling with this routine!! There’s just so much to remember and I get so nervous 😩
I hope it helps.
Conquer Driving It did but I panicked in today’s lesson and my nerves made me mess up the routine!!
Hiya Richard I am on my 5th 2 hour lesson as of tomorrow and currently on junction and I love your new interpretation of mspsl. I will be using this in future. Your videos are extremely useful for me! Thankyou for using your spare time for these! I have subscribed and look forward to your latest ones 😊 stay safe x
You're very welcome, good luck 🤞
U are the best, I do understand u more than my driving instructor 😄
Thank you for what you're doing for young drivers. It's super helpful.
I am from Bulgaria and we drive on the right; our roundabouts are anticlockwise. Still, your explanations about the clutch, changing gear, signalling, etc. are deeply appreciated.
Thank you!
this guy is the best teacher ever. Omg this vid is so helpful u wont believe it.👍👍👍
Just started my training and this is really helpful. Thank you!
Hi Richards. I have been following ur videos since taking driving lesson so far I have taken 16×2 lesson I mean 32 hours ...but after watching ur this video now I understood where I was going wrong I took long to understand this routine too mirror ,signal,position speed and look wasted so much time and the amount of stress I took all this time not being able to understand or follow this routine.....painful..
But thanks to your routine which I m keeping in my mind approaching junctions and roundabout. So thankful to you for making it easy for new learners like me.
Exactly like I wasn’t actually looking before. 😅You’re such a good instructor
Amazing video Sir...
Too much things to learn in this video..
Thank you so much
The Best video on approaching Junctions and round abouts, Thank you 👍
You deserve it, master teacher in Driving
Thank you! I've been thinking for a while now that MSPSL isn't getting me anywhere, and doesnt give me enough opportunity to change gear, but you've articulated a practical alternative really well! I'm going to try this on my next lesson 😌
Thank you very much for your videos. I cannot express enough how much helpful your videos are. Very grateful here.
Like I wasn't looking before!!!! What does look actually mean hahaha 😂😂😂 Thanks again for this great video. Look forward to the coming one 😄
Just filmed a reverse bay park one, need to do the edit then I'll upload.
Wow! You're great in explanations. Will never forget after this video. Thanks alot.
You're welcome
This is all what I was looking for and you made it super clear!!! Thank you soooo much! :)
Just wanted to come back to this video as i remember watching it over and over in my early days driving
Failed twice before but finally passed today with only 2 minors!
I owe that at least in part to your content so thank you!
That's great to hear, thank you and congratulations on passing!
Thank you so much i am also forgetting gear when junction came. Thanks for your explanation.
This is incredible. So helpful. Thank you!
You are the best! Very clear and easy to understand. Forget about speed before junction is my issue. Now I know….
Thank you so much. I was struggling with this today. You made it easier.
Omg I kept forgetting the gear today!!! I'm gonna follow your advice now and try it on my next lesson! Thank you!!
I am learning stop and go at a junction today. I made those mistakes repeatedly but I didn't know why. Afterwards watching the video, I will defer my "decision" after doing the speed and gears. Thanks.
Excellent routine! Just going through your videos for recaps before my test! Regardless of whether or not I pass, I've found the channel very useful considering I've mainly been supervised and have been unable to book many lessons before my test. Plan to continue watching these videos for a while yet!
Thank you, I'm happy to hear that I'm helping you.
@@ConquerDriving
Did alright in the test, 7 minors, 3 of which for "Progress - Appropriate Speed" failed me for being too slow, hovering 20 or below in a couple side roads! Would've passed had I not let a car overtake me literally on the last road as I was about to turn back into the driving centre!
Despite the failure, I'm fairly confident in being able to pass now, hopefully knowing some of the test route since it's not my usual area will help next time. Thanks for the videos again, has proved to be helpful :)
Thank you, I knew lot of important technic from him, thank you boss again
Ur videos are helpful keep it up all the best as I just had this lesson and needed to check
Thank you, very useful video!I"m thinking to get back to driving after 10 years gap. So stressed.
It makes sense well explained
I have no words to say thanx, it really helps a lot today, thank u so so so much
Your videos are so helpful. Thank You !
Really appreciate this video, I was really looking forward to applying it in my next lesson and then I sprained my ankle so no lessons for me until it heals.. Will be watching lots of videos for now!
Glad I can help, better sprain your ankle than your wrist as you're very talented at piano.
Conquer Driving haha, thank you!
Watched this video 3 times last night for my test this morning. It worked like a charm. Had my test. Switched the Engine off and got out. My instructor came over. 10 minors. He went through them....then said well done you've passed! I had to ask him to repeat himself. I was certain I had failed. Thank you Richard for your videos. They've been a great help :)
That's great to hear, congratulations on passing!
Yes! I'm so happy that somebody else does MSSG.
As learners become more fluent I move onto Check-Tell-Do (which is actually just different words to MSM)
Great video! Right to the point to do junction!
"I have taken away position" - instant thumbs up from me. I absolutely hate that order.
honestly amazing. I find junctions confusing and this video cleared up a lot
I needed this so badly, thank you so much!
Thanks for your explanation very help full I watch all your videos all good and you explain every small thing helps a lot x
Thank you :)
my driving instructor got mad today because i couldn’t turn into a junction properly with msp blah blah but this helped me 1000%
Fab. Thank you. Im an over thinker when it comes to junctions, but this has really helped me.
hi, I just wanted to thank you that i have passed my driving test today and your videos really helped me through this. Thank you so much
That's great news, congratulations on passing!
Omg this literally helped me so much!!
I'm very happy to hear that.
This was very clear and useful, exactly the thing I struggle with... thx.
This video will help my progress greatly.
You are a very good and calm Instructor. I had my driving license after 2nd attempt here in Hungary. My driving instructir was a cocky nerve-wreck. He was only able to shout at you when you made mistakes.. I hade to take 45 hours to pass ( I have never driven car before). The guys and girls in UK are lucky to have Instructors like you..
Thank you!
lol, sounds like my old instructor
Very good advice, I'm happy i watch this.
You are so good at explaining things. Thank you so much for this video. Junctions are something I currently have an issue with and with your tips I feel as though I now have more confidence in tackling them. I will keep this in mind as I practice this week. Thanks a lot.
you make things so easy to understand, thank u :D
The best Instructor
Mate, just taking up driving again after a long time off the wheel. Best and clearest explanations I've found, cheers!
Hi, this video was really helpful for me I’m new and just had 4 lessons and not easy for me also I’m Thai and learning driving in uk . Thanks for your videos
That's very helpful. I got taught only go into first when I stop.
You only really want 1st if you go below 5mph (walking speed). You can use second above that.
Thank you so much u are legend 👊🏾🔥no cap u just solved my problem 🕺🏽🕺🏽
This is the explanation Iv been looking for..very will said..thank u
You're welcome
