I drive sharp corners at target all the time same with golf carts same with my bike
How to take sharp turns Lila professional Driver
They even used a drone! So many efforts in their videos honestly. awesome
Lol
Link please on drone
I was doing this today. This video is so helpful to consolidate what I've just done. I love the little tips: look ahead and spot the corner; adjust the speed and gear; get your hands ready to steer and steer precisely around the corner. This is going to help lots! Thank you :D!
I watched your two types steering around tight corner videos. These videos have really helped me get the steering control..Thank you
I found this video quite helpful because I am currently undergoing driving lessons. To drive on tight corners its quite challenging but the tips provided in this video is proving to make driving on tight corners less scary. Thank you so much. Sending my love from South Africa xx
Just what I was looking for thank you so much!
Yes..I need this... there's alot tight corner in my neighborhood
Helpful with getting my steering and cornering right thanks.
Thanks again for these videos, got my first lesson in 16days👍 I have driven before (on private land) but these videos have been brilliant to remind me!
Best of luck!
I’m learning a lot from your videos very informative and well explained thank you so much
Another well made and informative video.
Thanks 🙏, it was needed
Great video, thank you for sharing 👍
These videos are very helpful. This is the only channel I found that uses the hand to hand steering method I need to learn. Thank you!
Very useful. Thank you for the contents.
Very helpful videos. Helped me a lot . Thank you sir/madam!
Thank u
Good teaching
Thank you now I understand
Thanks giving good information
Thanks for sharing so informative
Thank you
I see yours all videos, very nice 👍
Yess... Just exactly what I needed
A good video very helpful.
Very nice helpful video Big Thanks for sharing
Good topic!!! 👍
Thanks alot
I would love to have a car with just one full turn! A new driver here and sometimes still get a bit confused when realigning the wheel after several turns. Counting 3 turns then 1 and half can get confusing when you add tight corners and manic traffic.
We don’t know why more cars don’t have steering like this - it is much better!
Same issue for me new driver too
TYSM I had commented this to upload....👍👍
I find this video helpful especially when turning on a tight corner.I did not have any idea how this is done.I am just following the logo in the middle of the steering wheel.I can see it goes upside down first then from there you make a quarter turn.Especially if you are on a sharp corner.For beginners one has to know by how much the steering turns at least one can get the proper accuracy.Thanks for sharing this video.It makes everything look easy.
This is such a helpful video. I'm learning how to drive and tight corners have been a bit difficult for me. Thanks for this.
Glad it was helpful - and good luck on your lessons!
I’m an ADI in Norfolk and use your Videos to back up My in Car Tuition. These prove invaluable to my Learners, as they can see exactly what I’m getting them to do. Can’t recommend your Videos enough. Quality. 👌👌
Glad to hear you find our videos useful! 🚙👍🏼
These videos are still quite useful after passing
Glad you think so!
Good information
Good job 👍
Great channel
Brilliant still a bit wonky with corners but not as bad so this helps loads also I have lessons from next Friday . So it's just ready for exam level as I've said before I can't rush into it but you've definitely helped also I think of msm like this msm for pulling up pulling away going round obstructions overtaking going left and right and msm left to come off exits at roundabouts I still watch msm video .
Very nice video
Come driving on the South Island of New Zealand, you'll have plenty of opportunity to practice this 😂
TH-cam
Now try this in akl at peak hour you wont even make it down the street.
Its always interesting to watch ur videos.am from India and a novice.ur videos r helping me a lot to learn in many ways and erase lots of problems in driving.it will very very kind of u if can tell in details(steering controls,car positioning) and upload a video on how to negotiate very narrow turns in tight spaces.
90* sharp turn in a narrow space...ur kind❤️ advice and guidance will be very helpfull...
Am gonna full on do my driving lesson and hopefully pass theory test
What kind suction cup on front of your head? I want to know. Nice video
The camera isn't mounted onto the driver - it's stuck to the car!
Thanks for the video.
While climbing on a stiff hills (consider moderate road conditions with lots of sharp bends ) which mode is more appropriate ? 4H or 4L or 2H? Please suggest.
I am new in driving 4x4 vehicle.
The vehicle I am talking about has part time 4x4 system with 2H,4H & 4L. with integrated mechanical locking differential.
I noticed extra torque is required in this situation. At the same time, steering feedback is also important to prevent understeer or oversteer
4L is normally only used off-road. Use 2H on road in good conditions for better fuel economy, and 4H in poor conditions when you need extra traction 👍🏼
Thanks for brilliant video. My problem is WHEN to steer round a tight corner and the position of the car on the road. I can never really get everything in smooth synch. I'm thinking I need to be further to the right of my lane before turning and to make the steer a little later? Maybe I'm turning it into rocket science when I doesn't need to be! Any thoughts would be highly valued. Thank you.
As long as we aren't driving too close to the kerb (we normally like to keep about a metre from the kerb if possible) our back wheel won't scrape the kerb as we turn - so we shouldn't need to change our position before the bend. Everything is easier when we have more time, so slow the car down, and start steering when our front wheels are level with the start of the bend. You can see me doing this in this video: Signalling with our road position: th-cam.com/video/FxhXX0EaI5Y/w-d-xo.html 👍🏼
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool Thanks very much. That is a help to me.
Thank for great informative video. I have two doubt here,
Q1. If i steer with right hand more than left but having full control of car, will i fail the test? Feeding with both hands somtimes i find difficult and my right arm is more active than left.
Q2. Also please let me know in sharp bends the wheel rotates to straight position as we move, is it ok if i use my right hand to control the car. Do i need to be cautious in test about my hands and position?
The examiner doesn’t care ‘how’ you steer the car - so long as the car is always in the correct position in the road. 👍🏼
Hi on the bit on urban driving when you had a tight left turn and you used first. If on a road that had a tight left and was approaching in 2nd and knew 1st was better would you try and change gear before the turn or drop clutch but bring it back up as going around as going at a very slow speed ? Thanks in advance and love you videos 😊
It depends on how tight the corner was, and also if there was an uphill or downhill gradient. For extra control we would engage 1st gear by gently lifting the clutch, and then drive around the corner. This video might help: Clutch control at low speed: th-cam.com/video/8O3ZSqmJ9Yc/w-d-xo.html 👍🏼
Is it possible that on some very tight turns you may need 1st gear as I'm fearful of stalling in 2nd
Yes - that’s exactly what I did several times in the ‘urban drive’ part of the video 👍🏼
How/Where/With what did you mount the camera for that fixed POV perspective? It looks perfect! Great video as well.
We made our own mount for that view 👍🏼
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool It's perfectly stable so it can't be mounted on the driver. Is it on the headrest bars or on the window with a suction cup? I must say, I would love to make one such mount for myself as well.
There are some suction cups involved! Plus the camera has built-in stabilisation so that helps a lot.
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool Got it now second time on a really careful watch of the video @1.54 ^_^
Thank you for your time and input, and your videos are just as helpful as you were! I wish you a nice day
When steering around tight corners, i hesitate on putting my foot on the gas due to me being anxious of hitting the other cars coming from the other side of the road and my instructor keeps getting annoyed telling me to put my foot on the gas and keep going and dont because as soon as ive done i have to steer the car straight and then keep the gas going at the same time... Its the coordination of the break to the gas ive got anxiety on and then on long roads and going up hill have to keep the foot on the gas and use more gas my instructor keeps saying im gonna cause an obstruction when the speed limit is 30 and im going 15 and less than that... He said were gonna work on this alot next lesson. Today we went on busier roads and roundabouts and went to the test centre to get a feel for it... Also when on a motorway do you have any tips for actually steering right and not just move the car to the next lane... Road markings on a motorway r a bit confusing i need double reassurance from my instructor fod this as i get panicking
I just started to learn driving..after a turn i cant judge whether i turned the wheel back straight or not.how to overcome over-steer and under-steer issues
That kind of problem usually goes away with practice. Try to keep looking at the road ahead, not the steering wheel inside the car! Also, the car always wants to drive straight ahead, and you can feel the wheel try to turn itself to the middle as you steer - this helps you find where straight is 👍🏼
Can you please do video on how to drive fast in corner for normal road
Balanced Cornering: th-cam.com/video/yY81aE-IeIQ/w-d-xo.html
During tight turning how should I cordinate steering wheel & my foot? Should my foot be on my accelerator, brake or should I release my foot from the brake. Please reply. In total how should the process be
We should always slow down before the corner (by using the brakes) and then keep a constant speed around the bend by pressing the accelerator lightly. Keeping a steady speed around a bend keeps the car weight balanced and greatly reduces the chance of losing control.
Thanks for the reply. It was really helpful. I did it well today in my Automatic driving. Thx
When we navigate through a curve, are we supposed to position our vehicle on the side of the lane opposite of the direction of the curve? supposed the road is curving to the right...you should take the longer path through the curve and position your vehicle on the left side of your lane?
You can do that, if you need to get better visibility around a bend - but normally we prefer to stay in the centre of our lane. This video has more info: Balanced Cornering: th-cam.com/video/yY81aE-IeIQ/w-d-xo.html
Where is the best place to place your blind spot mirror in your side window?
We stick them on our door mirrors, as seen on this car.
Pls put video about proper seating position
Thanks for the idea 💡 👍🏼
Do you have any videos on right side judgement

@@AdvanceDrivingSchool thanks🙏🙇
He drives with elegance. are you guys in manchester please?
Thanks! Unfortunately we only offer tuition in Suffolk.
This is the hardest thing to learn. I don’t mean steering on bends but how much to turn your wheel on tight bends and corners
If the crossroads are empty give her plenty !
Steering is my problem at the moment.
When slowing down do you always do a clutch in when braking to slow down? Which is which first?
Clutch or Brake first?: th-cam.com/video/2AOsyMMaIk8/w-d-xo.html 👍🏼
This video doesn't mention anything about the MOMENT when you start to turn the wheel when turning a corner. Like for example, my instructor told me that an easy approach is to start steering when the right mirror of our car is aligned with the margin of the car or the corner of the house we want to get around, or the line between road and sidewalk (the one we want to turn) or in case of left turn, to start turning the wheel when our mirror reach the central axis of the road.
We tried to cover that in the section called ‘steer around the corner’ - however since every corner is different we don’t use any reference points for that.
could u please do F1 advanced version?
Sorry, can you explain further?
please create videos for hairpin turns
Thanks for the idea - unfortunately we don’t have any hairpin turns where we live. 😔
Lmao my instructor is so shit it is actually unreal. 7 lessons and now I've taken initiative to find out how to steer around a bloody corner. Ye I ain't passing with this dork as a teacher am I. A change is needed. This was just basic. Deary me.
Going round corners is not a problem but on motorways at high speed especially when cars are behind you, please help b

@@AdvanceDrivingSchool thanks for the quick response 👊🏾
i'd be so scared to take a test in the uk, bro here in florida our lanes can fit 2 cars, you guys have to go in between three cars
We have a small country with a lots of cars in it! Many of our streets were made before cars were invented, so they’re often narrow. You get used to it eventually. 👍🏼
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool Really that only means that it takes greater skill to be able to drive there in the UK. I just got back from New York, they have really narrow roads too, people drive fast and like to honk, worse part of all, the traffic never ends 🤣
NY sounds just like London - maybe cities are the same everywhere!
what happens if your car has four wheel steering?
Cars with four wheel steering are driven in the same way as a normal car. At low speeds the rear wheels turn a little the opposite way to the fronts, for increased manoeuvrability, and at higher speeds the rear wheels turn a little in the same direction as the front wheels, for increased stability. From the drivers seat though, just steer as normal :-)
I always turn corners with neutral gear.
We don’t recommend doing that, for several reasons. This video explains why: How to avoid coasting th-cam.com/video/UT9c4QwZd7c/w-d-xo.html
lmao what bruh you should be in first or second probably first if you're going really slow
5:18
Can you tell in which country do you live
We live in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 👍🏼
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool ok
Hello advance driving school
try driving on new zealand roads, most windy roads ive ever seen, and up and down mountain ranges and high altitude cliffs with tight 2 lanes, shit yaself if your a new driver.. oh not to mention the big trucks ya got to share the road with.
That sounds like driving in parts of Wales or Scotland! Thankfully most of the roads in England are much easier 🚙👍🏼
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool yea i moved over from Australia to nz, Aussie roads are straight and flat with huge highways lol, so nz was a bit of a shocker, but im alot better at driving in nz now, i fly around the corners now that i was shown how to take them properly.
You have a fiesta ST as a learner car!?? 🤣
Or is it just some sort of 'ST line' or something
It's a real ST, and it’s a great car to teach / learn in!
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool Incredible little cars they are, I'm sure you're going to be having a LOT of fun after you've finished teaching for the day 😆
Yes - although having your phone number printed outside on both sides of the car stops you getting too carried away!
Steering around a tight corner should not be a problem, as long as you slow down and take your foot off the accelerator while cornering and only apply the accelerator when out of the corner and on the straight.
I can't help but notice that you take corners really slow and overal drive really slow. Is this for filming purposes? In Belgium you instantly fail if you drive 5 km/h below the speed limit (unless the situation does not allow for driving the speed limit)
We drive slowly for tight corners, but faster when it is safe to. The camera does make everything look further away, so gives a different perception of speed. It is also possible to fail the U.K. test for driving too slowly, so drivers should ‘make progress’ when safe 👍🏼
My dad let me drive his car yesterday on a private road full of potholes and I punctured the front tyre on the drivers side which wasn’t really my fault as the potholes were everywhere and unavoidable
Next time drive slower, as this will reduce the impact from the potholes. Sometimes we slow right down to walking pace if necessary!
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool if only I knew that plus I’d have more gears to play with, also it’s good practice for clutch control too as I’ve gone rusty, btw love your videos
Is this is true, to drive a car
Or you could just cross your arms....
Never ever cross your arms unless you want to fail for driving test
