Bob, I've been driving for 32 years and still found this worth watching, and as they say many so called experienced drivers are not as good as they think they are - and I can't rule myself out. I'd really like to see a similar video from you on a busy carriageway though.
I passed my test in June 2014, I watched hours of your videos and found them more helpful than my own instructor, in the end I purchased an old banger, got my Mom to sit next to me and practiced with her while watching your videos at night for tips, I wish you success and thank you for uploading helping so many people.P.S Been on the motorway a few times now, 1st time I was very nervous, I would recommend people do this Pass+ course just to increase their awareness while on the motorway.
He’s young, so his reactions are fast and he is instinctively driving. When you are old you realise how crazy motorways are and avoid them altogether ! We are hardwired to take risks when young , it’s a throwback to early evolutionary ways. Chasing after a Bison takes guts.
Bob I have been driving for 22 years and have only been on the motorway once following a family. I don't like high speeds and only go on carriageways when necessary. I have learnt alot from watching your videos and would have liked you to drive while commenting on all aspects of motoring. Keep up the good work.
I've recently been recapping a few things, and all the videos on this channel have been very useful. There have even been a few hints and tips which I've never come across before. Just shows how we all continue to learn even after passing our test. It's also been interesting seeing how I've developed as a driver over the past few years, when I compare myself to some of your students and seeing them react to some situations in the same way as I used to. With more experience and being able to predict other road users better, it's amazing how easing off the gas early on can mean you avoid a lot of potential situations without having to do much at all. Thanks very much for these videos Bob; you seem like a great instructor, and remind me quite a bit of mine. Much respect to your students who agree to be filmed as well for the world to see. Safe driving everyone and all the best to those practising for their test.
I'm going to do a pass plus and motor way driving I'm a bit worried about it anyway bob thanks again for these videos they help so much. On a personal note I would like to thank ldc James Lucus for getting me through my test. Thanks ldc.
These passplus are pretty cool, i think it would be a great idea for bob to do some driving, that way he can talk about what he would do in certain situations and how he reacts to them.
I notice that Bradley checks the mirrors but doesn't do any sideways glance before changing lanes or joining the motorway from a slip road. Surely this is important since other vehicles could potentially be in his blindspot.
9:46 jumps into the right hand lane with only a quick glance at the rear view mirror. No glance in right hand mirror or over the shoulder glance which is critical.
The speedo was showing an indicated 80mph at times in this video (16:10), and you seemed to be OK with it. Is it because you're taking into account the 10% added speed manufacturers give to their cars (e.g. 70mph in real life is an indicated 77)? Or is there a speeding threshold? Not criticising, just curious.
Jack Cooper On motorways, while the limit is 70mph, it is actually possible to drive at 80mph with very little chance of prosecution as so many people drive at 80 or above. Also I doubt that it's 10% increase. They have to indicate accurately within standardised limits, and when learning to drive my instructor had a separate speedometer that was only ever 1 or 2 mph different from the car's speedo.
Great video, but I'm having trouble hearing the conversation in places even with the volume turned up full. Call me deaf if you like, but any chance you could position the mic in a better place in the future?
Could be a silly question, but do driving instructors typically use a different/unmarked vehicle when doing Pass Plus lessons? It just strikes me that they'd surely be vulnerable to being pulled over if seen giving motorway lessons in a car with L plates and all the driving school markings?
They would take the magnetic sign off the roof, possibly liable to flying off anyway at high speed, and any other L plates. Driving school markings aren't going to get them pulled over as the police are aware of drivers doing Pass Plus courses and of the fact instructors will drive their cars on the motorways themselves between lessons.
I've been driving for 5 1/2 months now and have already done thousands of miles on motorways, but I'm still not 100% confident with them. . I try and use the left lane as much as possible to avoid being *that* driver hogging the middle lane, but when I do so, I find people appear beside me and so if I'm behind a lorry, I have no way of getting back out into the middle lane. This makes me *want* to hog the middle lane, even though I know I shouldn't... . Do I really have to keep slowing from 70+mph to 60mph behind lorries in the left lane, just to let other middle lane hoggers past?
Just be aware you can be fined and receive points on your license if caught doing it. This is a good article worth reading, there are pro's and con's to be honest. www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-22784983
I came on to this to see how people drive. I am 15 and I know how to drive. I have driven land-rover disco 2, honda civic, honda jazz and a jeep (in the uk) IT WAS ON PRIVATE LAND. but it's not too hard. the land-rover was automatic and all the others were apart from the honda jazz which was manual. it was actually surprisingly easy.
The hardest part of driving is anticipating what other people will do and reacting to it. Wait until you encounter heavy traffic before you say you know how to drive!
I know that people say that but if you understand how to operate a car beforehand you can concentrate more on other drivers and less on the car (eg: if your going to stall)
You know how to operate a car, that doesn't mean you know how to drive on the public road with other people. I can kick a football but I'm not going to be signed up to Arsenal tomorrow.
Hello Bob, I have my driving test on the 16th of February im 17 but I don't think I'm ready but my instructor thinks I am otherwise she would not of told me to book it. I was just wonderi if you had any advice to cool the nerves and to gain some confidence. Your videos are great by the way
Hi Tom, have you spoken to your Driving Instructor about this, and considered asking him that you would like to put the test back to a later date. Maybe a few extra lessons targeting the areas you are lacking confidence is what you need.
that's the only thing I hate about motorway driving....blumin slip roads getting on motorway and joinig f two motorways...many drivers already on the motorway do not leave the wo second safety gap which enables folks to join from slipways much easier..quite often there is no gap to blend into...this makes for a very bottom twitching few seconds..lol
There will indeed be more videos. I have been involved with a lot of other projects and once I have them out of my in tray then I will look for another learner to video.
I passed my test in July and been driving about 3 or 4 weeks worth in a Corsa 1.2 but I'm finding some difficulties with how live the car gets the further I speed up to 70 and I'm not holding the centre of the lane if there's a bend in the road because of it. Any advice for this? I'm fine with all other aspects of the motorway as I've probably watched 100~ compilations of bad driving and read up on the driving etiquette that way but the car just feels really light at that speed. The odd thing is that it is completely easy at 60 on normal A roads but doing 65 or 70 on the motorway(M8 to Edinburgh) feels like I need to always correct being too close to the left.
At high speed the handling of any car changes quite dramatically if this is what you're getting at. I drive the same car as you. When driving on the motorway or at high speed you don't need to turn the wheel as much to change lane. Turning hard or over correcting will result in the car rolling. When driving on motorways its best to try and keep the wheels as straight as possible to prevent the car rolling. If your car pulls to the left or right when accelerating or braking it could be a mechanical issue.
First of all, check your tyres. If they're not correctly inflated it could bounce the car around. Also, get the tracking checked. Hitting potholes and kerbs can affect both tracking and tyres and in turn affect the handling of the car. Watch out for brakes in the embankments at the sides of the motorway. If you're going through built up embankments which suddenly clear as you go over a bridge or a valley you'll often be hit by a sudden crosswind which will push the car sideways. Look ahead for breaks in embankments shielding you for crosswinds and be ready to keep hold of the car as you reach them. Large vehicles create vortexes around them as you pass them. Pass an HGV and the airflow around it will push you away as you're alongside and then pull you in front of it as you move ahead. If you're aware of it and you're ready for it you can be ready to counteract it. You can tramline in lane 1 especially as the constant flow of heavy vehicles creates ruts which your car can become stuck in. Smaller, lighter cars will move around more than bigger heavier ones. If you ever come to drive a bigger, heavier car on the motorway you will probably find it moves around less.
Nikki will be re starting soon, and I will be looking for a new learner (maybe 2) to video in the coming months. My time has been taken up with other projects, but hope to be clear of them soon.
pass pluss is a waste of time and money suposed to bring your insurance down im yet to find an insurance company who reduces insurance cos of the pass pluss only good thing about it is learning how to drive on motorway
@Miss Anonymous You've contradicted yourself a bit there. On the one hand you say insurance companies are a rip off, yet on the other hand you acknowledge the likelihood of crashing sometime in your driving life. The whole point of insurance is to cover your costs if you have a crash so therefore it is essential...
It would depend on the speed you are travelling at, and the lay of the land, for example if you were pulling uphill and needed power 4th might be better. It is important to let the car tell you what it needs, the most important thing is to match the speed of the traffic already on the motorway and find a gap to work into.
why would you go into the 3rd lane at 11:45 i sure wouldn't of, until i saw indicators, you could be annoying drivers behind you, even though they would be breaking the law by speeding if they pass you. EDIT: So he said no one was behind luckily, you stayed in the 3rd lane far too long i reckon
check your blind spot lad, apart from that he seems okay, lots of pointless pulling back into nearside lane only to pull back out soon.. jobs a good un😁👍
28 minutes 30 seconds. The driver fails to check if any traffic is coming down the slip road onto the motorway. Too much middle lane driving for no reason. If you hold traffic up doing this - then you may find yourself with 6 points on your license. The middle lane is for OVERTAKING.
+albertosaurus60 It is perfectly acceptable to use the middle lane if you are gaining on the traffic in the left lane ahead of you, and are preparing to overtake, unless of course (as you point out) you are holding traffic up behind you in which case you would move to the left, allow them to pass and then take up the position for the upcoming overtake. In this instyance Brad was not holding up traffic and had a good reason for staying out.
I agree, uneccessary lane changes can as dangerous as can driving too fast or too slow. But, please remember, the middle and outer lanes are overtaking lanes. Therefore, before you proceed with the overtake, you need to verify - that the vehicle you're passing has a clear exit ahead. Failure to do this - will result in an accident sooner or later, especially when passing large goods vehicles at junctions or service areas. Many drivers use the middle lane - like they're sitting on a train. The middle lane is the MOST hazardous lane to be in. Unfortunately, your pupil failed to check this VERY dangerous hazard - when overtaking the large goods vehicle at a junction. Most accidents on the motorway - occur near junctions or service areas. Or, in the roadworks. Everybody driving at the same speed is also dangerous.
Finally, ask yourself or a Policeman if he knows where the blindside is on an articulated lorry? Answer = During the course of its operation, the only clear vision the driver has at ALL times is out of his offside drivers window. (This is providing the vehicle is RHD). Every left turn is blind on the nearside and blind on the offside at the same time. Every right turn is blind on the nearside. The ONLY time a articulated vehicle can see down both sides of the trailer is when it's travelling in a straight line. NEVER drive alongside an articulated lorry at the SAME SPEED. Only pass an articulated vehicle on the motorway or dual carriageway if your road ahead is clear. And only overtake an articulated lorry before or after junctions. Overtaking articulated lorries at junctions - is like playing russian roulette.
+Collins LFC Harder than you think. 99% of drivers don't know when they're driving blind. Drivers on the motorway sit in lanes as if they are sitting on a train. Nearly all the accidents that happen on the motorway - happen at slower speeds.
albertosaurus60 But motorways are mostly straight roads and don't have the hazards that A roads or town/city roads have. E.g. traffic lights, pedestrians, parked cars, junctions etc. I don't know whether most accidents on motorways happen at slow speeds or not, but they are, by far, the safest types of roads.
+Collins LFC the driver in this video was driving blind on at least 2 occasions - and quite possibly more. Clearly, you do not understand what I mean by this.
Why cant bob live in london ? Literally the best driving instructor ever

Do you have to check ur blind spots while changing lanes?
Yes. The more checks you do the better but only have a glance don't forget anything can happen while doing 70mph

It depends if you want to improve your driving skills or not. Being a better driver means less chance of crashing and losing no claims bonus.

do what normal people do and get on the motorway the day you pass n spank it!!😁👍
What do you mean it's never dull in Hull, I'm looking out of my window now and it's as grey as your hair Bob lol x
Is Nicki doing her test soon?
Love the videos Bob. I passed my test on 1st October (3rd one) and you definitely helped x
Pleased to have been of assistance
hi bob what gear should i be in when entering a motorway is 4th or 5th
It would depend on the speed you are travelling at, and the lay of the land, for example if you were pulling uphill and needed power 4th might be better. It is important to let the car tell you what it needs, the most important thing is to match the speed of the traffic already on the motorway and find a gap to work into.
thanks
Alan 1st gear at rev the nuts of it!!!
Think this is a ford fiesta? Is this the driving instructors car or the pupils own?
The car is indeed a Ford fiesta (1600 sport diesel) and is mine.
It doesn't sound like it's struggling at all
why would you go into the 3rd lane at 11:45 i sure wouldn't of, until i saw indicators, you could be annoying drivers behind you, even though they would be breaking the law by speeding if they pass you.
EDIT: So he said no one was behind luckily, you stayed in the 3rd lane far too long i reckon
gary63693 any of those vehicles could have moved over to the right, possibly without an indicator which would be stupid
@37:38 THERE'S A CYCLIST ON THE MOTORWAY!!!
That's just after the motorway ends.
@Right To Censor No he didn't, you can see him come from a slip road after the motorway ended.
Alright bob do you do lessons in Bristol at all please get back to me
I'm afraid its a bit far from Pontefract :(
10:15
Shouldn't he be on the left hand lane on the motorway instead of the middle lane
Darcy Mile I have no idea what part of the video you’re talking about, but the general rule is stay in the left unless overtaking or directed by signs
How's Nicki doing? :)
i would love to know too
Nikki has settled in to her new house and we will be picking it all up again once I am finished with current projects.
Good to hear
