Turning Right at Junctions - Major to Minor and Crossroads
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 มิ.ย. 2024
- In this video I explain the dangers of turning right and demonstrate many different right turn scenarios when crossing the path of oncoming cars. This video focuses on turning from a major road to a minor road and where and when to wait at crossroads. Emerging from a minor road will be a explained in a different video.

I’m decently confident at driving and just been waiting for a test for ages. But I just enjoy watching these videos
I passed my theory and test first time and i know for a fact that it was videos that made it so i could pass. You should also watch as many mock tests as you can.
I watched these videos for my driving test in Sweden and everything seems to more or less apply over here too. You were one of the biggest reasons I passed my test and are also responsible for me learning clutch control properly. I had the problem where the car that I drove in my driving school would move off without gas (even on steep hills), so you can imagine my shock when my little 19 year old 1.6 L Golf would stall everytime I wanted to move off.
I passed my test almost a year ago and I've kept watching since then mostly for entertainment, but I guess It's also good to get a refresher every once in a while.
Thank you for the good videos Richard!
I'm very happy to hear that, thank you.
Congs my dear love from Uganda east Africa 🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬
Didn't expect to see you here ;)
1:47 were to wait (when the middle line is in line with mirror)
3:12 If you are turning right on our road do not go near the middle as there isn’t enough space
3:35 turning on a bend(bring the car to near stop and go into gear one as it’s safer)
3:55 waiting areas, don’t ever go to the end
5:05 if your turn to early and finish on the right it’s a serious fault
Always look right when turning right
6:55 turning right with right filter light and traffic light without filter lights
When turning right, If you have a green light then the traffic across probably also has a green light
8:17 yellow box junctions, Only use when you’re turning right and your exit is clear
10:33 turning right at smaller crossroads, go offside to offside as it’s too small for nearside and you’ll end up on the wrong side of the road
WAIT BEFORE THE CROSSROADS IN THIS CASE
11:24 GIVE WAY LINE
When I started out with a manual, I was always worried that I was making these kinds of turns too slowly, which only made things more difficult as I tried to race trough the gears. But then I had an opportunity to drive an automatic again, and I realized my starts had always been nice and easy, there's no reason to mash the throttle, and that most of my problems driving a manual just stemmed from anxiety.
That is true for many.
Great help for a foreigner who wants to drive a bit outside of London! It is very useful to see videos of UK roads and get used to seeing the left-side traffic :) thanks!
Thanks Conquer Driving. I was able to learn most of my manual theory through your channel when upgrading from my automatic license. Definitely the best resource on driving in my opinion with your ability to connect and relate to your viewers and your obvious passion about cars and driving. I passed my manual test on the second attempt and will keep learning and improving from you channel and the road. 🥰
Congratulations on passing and thank you.
Best channel ever. Thank you for I am more confident at driving after watching your videos. Thanks a million
God bless you for this video. I was so confused about crossroads earlier... but not anymore... thank you millions...!!!
This was very helpful. Failed first time due to not waiting for green arrow for the right turn facing oncoming car. Didn't understand the difference between right turn at traffic light. Now, I do, if no green arrow, then oncoming cars are moving as well, so have to wait.
Also used to stop for seconds before turning right even if no oncoming car. Now, I understand I don't need to and I understand when to start steering and looking into the right side of the road. Very helpful. Thanks
Great video. I've actually been driving for around 5 years but had a bad experience just after passing my test when turning right at a crossroads - sometimes I like to have a search to see what the professionals say (specifically to do with turning nearside to nearside or offside to offside). It's all about continuous improvement and learning to drive certainly doesn't stop after passing your test!
Very true!
You know what this what i asked for,and you have made this vedio......i m soooooo glade u understood what i wana ask n u made a whole 13 min vedio ❤❤❤❤,Thank u so much
I am learning so much from you. I am doing now the driving school and all your videos are really helpful 🙏🏻
You deserve millions of subscribers, best Driving videos!
Been watching these videos for the past 3 months, passed my test today.
Love from Norway
Congratulations! I'm very happy to hear that.
@@ConquerDriving Thank you so much😄
Hey, yesterday (the 22/02) I had my test and succeeded on first try! Just wanted to say thank you so much, your videos helped me a whole lot and I think I really wouln't've passed without you. Will surely continue watching your videos, I have much to learn. You're amazing, hope you're doing well.
Congratulations, I'm so happy to hear I've helped.
Thanks
I am in Uganda, I have learnt alot driving from you including manual transmission cars.
Yeah I feel like I am one of the best driver for both manual and automatic transmission cars.
What a fantastic piece of advice.
I think I’m going to continue watching these videos till my test.
Had about 12 hours of driving lessons done before this lockdown waiting to get back on the roads. your videos are helping me remember everything I have learnt thank you
Hi Richard. Im from the Philippines and I have been binge watching your videos for the past 2 months and I can say I went from zero driving experience to being very confident on the street with a manual petrol car. The most important things that I have learned from you is gas first before clutch release and using handbrake for uphill starts. From there, my life changed. So many things still to learn. I don't know how to give back to you but subscribing is the least that I can do. Keep doing what you are doing and again, a big thanks!
I'm so pleased to hear that, thank you.
Hi, pareho tayo! Also from Philippines and learning to drive for the past month or so. Difference lang eh naka-automatic ako hehe. Good luck on your learning! Hopefully, more Filipinos become more aware of these videos and become more disciplined on the roads!
@@gsmendoza Yes sir! We share just the same road. Being patient and giving way won't hurt too much of our time. If we want to arrive early, then we should wake up early, not drive fast since we have to take note, we don't own the streets, we share it with others. Goodluck on your driving as well and be safe.
Passed my test yesterday. Your videos has been of great help through out my learning. Really boosted my skills and confidence. Thank you. From Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
Congratulations! I'm very happy to hear I've helped.
Thank you so much for your awesome videos! I passed my driving test in the third attempt today and I wanted to record my sincere appreciation of your quality videos and teachings that have shared, which has immensely helped me to correct my driving techniques.
That's fantastic to hear! Congratulations on passing!
Thanks a lot for your super helpful tips. They aided me greatly on my driving school journey.
Very good, I panicked on a junction once when I was a new driver and forced my way through that was scary !!
Never again.
I have my 3rd test next week and and I’m on my second instructor (the first was injured during an accident on his way back from a holiday) and this was THE BEST description of how this works! Thanks for the tip about the mirror and the line on the right!
Good luck for your test!
You’re a very good driving instructor glad I found out 🙏🏾👏🏾
Hi, just to let you know I passed my ADI part 3 and want to thank you for the videos that helped me to be a better teacher. I will be continuing to use them.
That's great to hear, congratulations on passing!
Already passed my test, but hey, still watching ur vids
This video helped me alot together with my wonderful driving instructor. I passed on my first test.
I’ve my test in 3 days and your videos are helping me so much
I hope it goes well!
Just started to learn driving
And I had to say this , Your videos are helping me a lot
Ty
You are an amazing instructor ❤
Thank you! So helpful and absolutely brilliantly clear explanations of each step and scenario. Thank you!!!
Thank you, love watching your video, really helps me on my lessons 🙌🏾
I have my test tomorrow and making silly mistakes today with my instructor. Watching your videos to gain some confidence. Please wish me luck 🤞🤞🤞
Good luck tomorrow!
Thank you so much to your videos. Especially this video. Finally I've got today my Full Licence here in New South Wales. 🙏🙏🙏
That's great to hear, congratulations on passing!
I was confused when I saw the title, like what is difficult on turning right and why to make a video about it? It took me few seconds to realize that you drive on the other side.
many instructors have videos on left (your right) turns anyway, since it can still be complicated to someone who's never driven before
Yoooooooooooooo bro ,Richard been missing ur videos, here busy in my studies, love from Uganda east Africa 🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬
I found this kind of easy. I just think of it as crossing the road as a very speedy pedestrian lol.
The hard part is the maneuvering (Gear shifting) and positioning imo.
(Apologies on leaving so many comments on your older videos, but they give me confidence in my own driving so I really like watching these.)
The more comments the merrier. Thank you for watching and I'm happy to hear the videos help.
It’s a great and very useful video ! Thanks 👍👍👍
Really good explanation, thank you!
Bro for real.....Your videos are amazing
very helpful for me as I was struggling abot with these type of turn thank you very much
I’m learning this on my lesson today, my test is in 2 weeks I’ve just got back to learning after lockdown 😭😭 praying I pass! Thank you so much for these videos! X
Good luck in two weeks 🤞
Did you pass lol?
@@chadhiggins8671 I didn’t first time & I didn’t second time this week😂😂
@@katemate5257 Did you end up passing?
@@alexdev5809 I didn’t at all, I haven’t drove since! I need to get into it now
you remind me my former boss (which I hate) but I love your videos so much! you make things easer for a new learner!
Haha, I'm not sure if that's a compliment or not. I'm glad you like the videos 😊
Thax very much ur videos have given me more confidence
Thank you for this. Great content
Today I was at a 4 way junction with lights. I was turning right but the oncoming traffic who were also turning right came 3/4 of the length of the entire yellow box and not half way. This gave me no opportunity to turn right before the oncoming traffic because by the time I attempted to reach the centre, I was blocked by a big Merc flashing it's lights. He then signalled me to go to the right hand side of his flow of traffic, (as the highway code suggests, but as you mentioned is a bad idea). This then left a standing line of traffic for me to get through in order to turn right, even if I crept forward, I physically could not see the traffic going straight. So I pulled out slowly but even then, the oncoming car was forced to slam on the brakes, and I had no choice but to boot it to take my opportunity to turn right. The initial confusion over the oncoming turning right traffic led the traffic to stand still which in turn led to a dangerous crawling and peeking situation at a completely blind spot. I felt terrible about this as I'm on a provisional license and it really knocked my confidence. But this video shows me that regardless of the highway code, traffic turning right at junctions should always wait at the middle and not veer over to the left thus blocking the turning right lane of opposite direction traffic who are also turning right, (me). Thanks for the informative video.
Your vids are awsome. Thank you 😊.
Very helpful video.
Thank you very much sir
Its my First time to drive abroad.
Thank You its really helpful. Anyway my in-laws lives there in Colchester
I'm happy to hear I've helped you 😊
You are good teacher this is really hard for me 😭 I am learning now
Thank you. Practise is your friend, the more you practise the better you will get.
Brill video, very clear about turning right safely. I am not too clever in turning right, my steering is not so good, I feel I am faffing about, I need more practice I think.
7:50 i remember getting ded confused in my lessons b4 your explanation is amazing and I wish again I saw this years ago lol
Good Info.
Fantastic video thankyou 😃🚘👍xx
thank you, its very useful
I'm from Indonesia and here we also drive on the left side of the road. All your videos are very informative and helpful. Thank you!
太有帮助了，非常感谢！❤❤❤
My question has been answered.
I find most of your videos extremely helpful, thank you, but I just wanted to say that at almost all of the traffic light controlled junctions around where I drive in Tottenham and Wood Green in North London you are supposed to turn offside/offside rather than nearside/nearside as you show in this video. If I tried to turn nearside/nearside ie in front of other oncoming vehicles turning right I would cause a lot of problems! So my point is that some areas are obviously quite different to others in this regard.
I've not driven around there, that's interesting as I've not really come across places where people are using crossroads offside to offside and I drive around a lot of the country. Definitely do what is the norm for the junction.
Thank you so much!
Thank you!
Good video again pal, I'd love to drive in Australia and New Zealand one day!
Thank you. Somewhere I would really like to drive is North Norway like Harry did in his Rolls Royce on Harry's Garage. There is a place called Hell which sounds like a place worth visiting in your life 😂
@@ConquerDriving Australia is not hell!!! But I wouldn't like to drive in the outback at night though
@@Jamesdanielfitness Haha, I was saying there is a place in Norway called Hell. I never said Australia is hell, although driving across the Nullarbor plain could be close.
@@ConquerDriving Ah haha sorry mate I misread it, but you've got to try Aus and NZ they're my dream places to go to!!!
Will you make a video on driving at higher speeds/ on express way? And thanks for another great video.
Thank you, I may do in the future, this video may help: th-cam.com/video/pfJi9EA05_Y/w-d-xo.html
Thank you very much
How stop the stalling when right turn does coasting helps. I have seen some driving test video
Thank you
Thanks 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
Offside to offside is sometimes the best option depending on road markings and the structure and layout of the junction it’s safe if done correctly as your view isn’t obstructed
I'm yet to use a junction where people are doing offside to offside. It would take a lot of initiative for the second car to leave space (assuming it's a queue of traffic).
Hi Richard! When turning right to join a very busy major road from a minor, can I first go to the chevron with broken lines and wait for a chance to join the traffic going right? Thank you
Thx 4 this video. would u make a similar one for left turn plz? Thanks
You're welcome. I may do, thank you.
you are the driving god
😂
Hello Richard, I have learnt a lot from your videos, and first of all a big thank you. I am a novice driver, and a couple of weeks ago while I was driving on a main road, a car suddenly turned right from a minor road and almost hit me head on, if I hadn't braked at all. I was lucky because the car behind me wasn't too fast or it would have bumped into my car. I would like to know what can I do in the future to avoid getting a collision with drivers who suddenly emerge from a minor road? I am writing from Auckland, New Zealand. Thank you very much😊
I'm sorry to hear that. There isn't a lot you can do but be slower when you can see junctions that will have a poor view for the car emerging.
Have you got any videos of all round abouts as I 3 lanes and getting in the right lane please
This video may help th-cam.com/video/koK_a4KYs-E/w-d-xo.html
Hey Richard. I love your videos, so thanks! I have moved to the UK from North America. I got my license in Ontario, Canada, but have also lived and driven in the US. As a new driver to the UK, I have a couple of questions regarding turning right.
1. I was always taught when turning left (right in the UK) that you should not turn your wheels whilst waiting for oncoming traffic. The reason for this is that if someone hits you from behind a minor incident can become a head-on collision if you are pushed into oncoming traffic. You don't discuss this in your video, although your diagrams do show the car turning right has turned their wheels. I have also seen other videos where UK instructors tell their student to turn their wheels. What is your opinion on this and why?
2. In Ontario it is illegal to turn into any lane except the lane you are coming from. For example, to take the UK equivalent, if I am turning right into 3 lanes from the right hand lane, I would get a ticket in Canada if I turned into other than the far right lane. I could then change lanes once I have safely turned if I need to be in a different lane. The main reason for this is to allow those turning right (left in the UK) from the opposite direction to turn at the same time into their lane with no chance of collisions. It appears that the guidance in the UK is completely different. Could you please clarify the rules in the UK and the reasoning?
Thanks again!!!
It is better to wait with your wheel straight, I generally do this myself but not always. Depends now difficult the turn it. I'm not quite sure about question 2, but you can change lane whenever you like as long as it's legal and currently safe.
@@ConquerDriving Thanks! I ask about which lane to turn into because I have seen videos of mock tests from other instructors who have given advisories or faults if the driver did not turn right into the far left lane. That made me think it was a rule!
I'd probably come back to rewatch this, I sill struggle with being on the right lane when I need to turn and I end up frantically changing lanes to get o the slip road
Hi great videos. Which green arrow did you refer too at 7:01 please, I could only see the green lights, if you could clarify thanks.
There is a green arrow under the green light pointing right
There is a green arrow on the furthest traffic light at the underneath the green light. The camera didn't seem to focus on it well so it just looks like another green light.
I have a question. I've noticed at some junctions the right lane is only for turning right and the left lane is both for turning left and going straight, however on other hand, there are junctions where the right lane is both for turning right and going straight and the left is only for turning left. Sometimes you can't see the road markings as the traffic is on them. I'm asking if there's a hint or good rule of thumb at such junctions as to which lane to take when going straight? I know it's easier when turning right or left.
I'm new in the UK and find junctions very confusing when going through straight.
Sometimes there is a sign to warn you but not always. Most are left lane for ahead but unfortunately poor road signs and markings are a big problem on the UK's roads.
I have a question &6:35. When you are about to turn right, you drive on or into the hatch marking area, is it allowed in driving test?
Test this afternoon wish me luck 🙏🏾
Good luck 🤞I hope it goes well!
Hi I'm a new driver. I'm still a bit anxious especially when I have to yield to on coming cars while turning right. Can you please explain to me in regards to the pedals where exactly my feet should be, by this I mean do I have to press both the clutch and break down and select first gear as if I'm at a stop sign or is there something else I should do?
This video may help you for what to do at junctions: th-cam.com/video/Q8llvZla94Y/w-d-xo.html
It would be good if there are videos on parallel and vertical parking between cars
This video may help: th-cam.com/video/rK3dxGkuZxI/w-d-xo.html
at the cross junction. if the other vehicle is turning left instead of right ir straight ahead, what do u do?
If the filter right arrow goes off do i just go or should i wait?
Hi,
Thanks for this video. So we are allowed to enter the hatch markings when you turn right? I was told by a really good driver, he had his license since 18, and now he’s 50😂, and he said to avoid the hatch marking when turning right, minute 6:29 of this video, this is what I am referring too. Thanks
Refer to rules 127 - 130 of the highway code.
Hi Rich, quick question do you start turning when your wing mirror is in the middle of the actual road (which is the middle of both lanes -- By the white line) or the middle of the lane you are actually trying to go in (which is the middle of the left lane)?
Middle of the whole road.
@@ConquerDriving thanks brother. 👊
On a signal junction, I positioned myself in the middle waiting for oncoming traffic to clear.
In few seconds the light turned Amber & then red, after which I cleared the junction & completed the right turn.
However, while waiting in the middle i did notice signal camera flashing & taking pictures.
Please let me know why that would happen. It’s really stressful as I have had my full license for only 2 months.
So why are the waiting areas designed so they extend beyond the junction?
That is the question. If someone knows, let me know.
Thanks for the video! Quick question: Are you allowed to sit on a cushion during your driving tests? I will be taking the practical test in my own car and I find it more comfortable to sit on a cushion when I am driving. Cheers!
Yes you can. As long as you are stable.
@@ConquerDriving Thanks!
What in case if I have green light on that weird junction yeah. Everyone else have red light. As I approach the first 2 cars still stationary, then is junction I want to right turn in with yellow box but only on right lane and there is a car behind the box. When I was getting by the first 2 cars they were still stationary but as soon as I started running right the car behind yellow box started moving forward from stationary and crushed into me. My question is there was no way for me to know if their light change to green as it was behind my back. at the moment when I started turning cars were still stationery waiting.should she let me finish my junction or is it my fault? The thing is also There was a yellow box so should she go into it even though car in front of box even if started moving a split second after I passed him by didn't clear it completly
Do you have to use a right shoulder check when turning right across traffic only if you've had to come to a halt?
I don't do a right shoulder check for turning into a road on the right.
how to deal with drivers who flash lights(they are giving you a way to proceed) while you are waiting to turn right . what observation / mirror do you need to check before you make your turn.
Take your time, you can proceed as long as you think it's safe but don't rush because someone flashes their lights. Check the relevant mirrors for the direction you're about to turn if you feel you need to but mostly look where you're going.
Hi , what if , if i have moved my seat a little closer to the steering wheel , should we wait for our mirror to align with the middle of line or should we start steering a little before the line
It's only a very rough guide, moving your seat isn't going to make a difference.
What do you do if you are turning right into a side road but the part of the side road you are entering is blocked by stationary traffic and there is a car coming out of the side road waiting to turn right?
If you were to stop at the line which is in the middle of the blocked side road you are entering then you would be preventing the car coming out of the side road from making any progress.
Would it matter in this case if you still wait in line with the line which is middle of the side road (and prevent the other car from turning right) or should you hold back so you are not blocking the side road until the part of the side road you are entering becomes clear?
Try to help when there is traffic, I would hold back and let the car emerge from the side road.
Great video ,what is the difference betwwen a right turn from major to minor and minor to major.You go more to the middle to start turning on a major to minor ,but on minor to major you start turning at the stop line or am I wrong .Please explain .Thanks in advance .
What's important is you position yourself to the right of your lane if there is room. Then try to spend as little time on the wrong side of the road as possible, so you generally turn quite late.
@@ConquerDriving ahh thank you
Loved this video, thank you so much for your detailed work.
I have a very dumb question tho. I almost never notice the little waiting box when I have to turn right. Instructor saying turn right, and I just want to follow my lane, sometimes because of the traffic, I can't even see there will be a waiting box. Would be logical just to carry on and turn right when you can. Is it any trick I can use here? Because I feel like if I am going to fail, I am going to fail on not going to the waiting box in time, and I will be stuck on the left hand lane.
If you don't go into the waiting box don't turn right as your position will be misleading and people other people behind may decide to use the box and pass you. This could be dangerous. Reading the road markings is a very important part of driving.
Thank you for the answer. I just wanted to let you know I have passed my driving test today, with only 3 minors; and all of them was pulling on the left safely. 😅🤦♀️
Your videos helped A LOT, and thanks to this video particularly, I could do a 'go-in-the-box-and-wait' right turn, flawlessly. So thank you so much again, I am so happy! 🧡🧡
That’s what I failed on 😂 I feel ya
@@vivienm2037 also well done :)
In Europe you turn AFTER oncoming vehicle which also is turning same way from opposite direction so you can see other oncoming cars, otherwise if you both stop you both blocking each other from seeing full traffic. So any words you pass other car to leave him behind and only concentrate on other following cars. This applies to larger roads with waiting area on narrow roads with small traffic you can make it in a front of each other
Driving on the other side doesn't really matter as turning left is a same as turning right over here etc.
Obviously sometimes you have guide lanes to follow to avoid confusion especially on larger few lanes roads.
Not to sure who has the right to move through, is it the driver on the left or the driver on your right? I live in a county with same orientation or driver and car ie right hand car
7/2/22
1:30 - where to wait when turning at a junction (with oncoming cars)
9:04 - waiting at the middle of a junction (yellow box)
how I am supposed to know if a junction has a turn right traffic light or can I just go right when the light turns green anyway? It's hard to see what extra signal is below if they aren't lit up and I don't know If I am allowed to turn right or not.
