- Usually you find me in the instructor seat. In this video I get behind the wheel and show everyone the kind of things that I will be thinking on the road. This episode concentrates on Planning around Liverpool, England. I try to show how planning stops you reacting and reduces risk. Please let me know what you think in the comments.

"Where's my phone? ...... Take 2." Really glad you left that in as this shows a level of humility - nobody is perfect after all 😆😉.
Whenever watching your uploads I always ask myself "Would I drive to the same (Ashley's) standard?" Only an assessment can answer that for certain and, to be fair, most people have an exaggerated opinion of their abilities.
Failing to plan is basically the same as planning to fail. Avoiding or lowering risk is definitely key. You might have the reactions of a Formula One driver but a properly prepared driver wouldn't have to react at all.
Excellent upload today. Inspiring.
Stay safe everyone 👍.
Already have my driving licence but still love these video's and also Erin's lessons
Ashley , as a bus driver with 24 years experience we use hazards of parked on a stop for an extended time ie running early etc . Sadly as you said this is needed due to the poor driving of other bus drivers pulling up too close . Sadly the standards of bus drivers has declined massively in the time I’ve done the job . I’d say around 50% of drivers at my depot are absolutely shocking
The art to good driving is being a lazy driver, my old instructor told me this, the only thing that over works are your eyes, don't brake when you need to, let go of the accelerator, don't indicated when you don't need to, check to see if it helps anyone around, don't change gear too often, use brakes up to junctions etc., and go from 4th to 2nd i.e.missing out gears if necessary, even going up the box. Great video, reminds me of my instructor.
Excellent video Ash. I'd like to think I can do a reasonable amount of planning but after watching this I see I can do better. I'm a firm believer in continuing to improve my driving skill (passed 2 1/2 years ago) and content like your videos are very helpful.
I’ve got my part 2 adi test in July, looking forward to and dreading my 5 lessons I’ll have before hand.
I passed my test a year ago and I'm still always learning and trying to improve as a driver. These videos are very useful.
Great stuff. Thank you peg.
had to have extra 10 minute coffee break for that one.
Always enjoy these.
Thanks for taking the time to film and upload. 👍👌
Absolutely brilliant. You remind me of my instructor, he would drive so calmly and it made me feel much better. I often feel pressured or like I have to rush and get out of people's way so it's nice to see a video like this and be reminded of this.
I'll certainly be trying to look much further ahead, which I have been doing.
I always hate coming up to traffic lights on green where the speed of the road is above 30mph, we have some lights by us where the road is a 60mph and people bomb it over the lights, I always worry and think, should I be dropping down to 50mph, 40mph? It comes up so fast and I honestly don't think the car would stop anyway unless I was doing 30mph which doesn't seem practical on a 60mph?
Thanks again Ashley
That’s good little bit we need to change Thanks for video
15:21 interesting, I would have thought the opposite - if you get into 1st gear as soon as you stop, it's one less thing to think about so you can focus more on observing around you. Also allows you to move off quicker if needed (while being flexible to what the vehicle next to you is doing) to get into the staggered column formation or merge lanes ahead.
my instructor recommended this video really helpful thank you
Iconic drive down Hope Street, Everyman on the left, Phil on the right and a cathedral out of the front and back window. Carlsberg don't do cities, but if they did, they'd struggle to make one like Liverpool.
These video is very useful. Got my test tomorrow.
Good luck 👍
@@grahamnutt8958 my test got postponed to june coz of corona
@@Grasimee Sad fact it seems to be affecting everyone right now. Good luck anyway whenever it happens 👍
I passed my test at the start of febuary. I found your video a great help and still continue to watch them as a new deiver. keep up the good work. 👍
I really appreciate the camera work
Excellent video and driving! You’re like a genius behind the wheel. Edit : I’m really looking forward to your cycling video!
Planning makes all the difference. The road would be a better, less stressful place if more people did it. Almost everyday on a dual carriageway with a 50 limit where I'm turning right I put on a signal as early as needed but people still choose to get 'caught' behind me and then swerve at the last moment. I. hate. that. Rant over haha
Keep the videos coming Ash!
Honestly these r my fave videos but I’ll literally watch anything n everything u put out
Thank you for these videos, I can't get any practice outside of lessons so they really help!
@28:42 "- as a someone who drives and cycles the vast majority of 'conflict' is poor observation skills from drivers who simply don't look properly at junctions or when changing lanes.
I have never had a conflict with a cyclist when driving because I am aware of my surroundings and look properly.
Great video, thanks a lot 👍
whether it will remain on the first Gear, it is not a reaction, but planning I am ready for the next activity and I can continue to plan, it seems to be quite subjective, greetings and thank you for your effort
Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance... an old engineering axiom, but one that completely applies when driving or riding a motorcycle. I find it just terrible how many people do not plan - they fail to use good judgement, to use their eyes properly, manage their speed, utilize the proper lane... the list goes on. Took a nice hour's ride with my g/f on our motorcycles (she is a new rider requiring an experienced rider chaperone, and we always use a set of voice-operated comms). We did not plan the route beforehand, but proper planning and use of vision habits and spacing/pacing made it a truly enjoyable ride of 50km on a mix of road types, from what you would call estate roads to secondary arteries (no motorways).
Great video as always Ashley and I like the fact that nothing was rehearsed, including your route.
When you first started this series, I also remember you saying that what you are narrating to us as part of your running commentary is just a fraction of what is actually going through your mind, as you would not have time to narrate everything. I totally get where you are coming from when you made that statement.
Just curious to ask how is the ride quality on your new BMW? You seemed to get bounced around in your seat quite a bit and I was using the split screens you provided to try and analyze how much you were bouncing around in your seat and correlate it to the apparent quality of road surface. To me it often looked as though you were jiggling around to a relatively smooth road but I could be mistaken. At several points in the video, it almost looked comical and all we needed was a bit of music! I don't mean that in any disrespectful way whatsoever , just my humour in these rather troubled times.
I've commented on this before but I feel it might be useful if your front facing dash cam was one of those that show vehicle speed. I feel this would add an extra dimension to your videos and an even more useful learning tool, though I also appreciate it might invite extra criticism. Of course, I would not have GPS coordinates displayed, for obvious privacy reasons, just speed in mph. I will say I did like the three screen approach, namely front view, rear view and driver / cockpit view.
Very nice neighbourhood at the very beginning of your video by the way!
Thanks again for your excellent work Ash.
Thank you so much ,perfect!
I once took a ride home with a driving instructor who was ADI. He stalled the car and went 80 mph!
Just my thoughts on the vid.
At 16:40 when you overtake the cyclist, I notice that you basically change the lane without indicating. The white car behind you may haven't seen the cyclist, so it couldn't know what you were planning in this situation. It had its distance and you checked it, sure, but is it really ok not to indicate in that situation? Would you indicate only if you noticed the white car accelerating and trying to pass you? Or would you have waited until it passed and repeat the game with the follow up car? I think indicating shows everyone behind you that you are going to change over to their lane, so they know it's not a good time to pass you.
But overall really good video, I have my license for a few months now and I'm naturally doing a lot of things like you do in respect to planning ahead and so far, I haven't gotten myself into any unpleasant situations and was always prepared.
Ashley lets a silver car through after which there is a big space. The space is moving and the next car is only catching Ashley up very gradually. Whereas the cyclist is being caught a lot quicker. Ashley actually moves out because of a series of parked cars and in doing so can accommodate a subsequent cyclist which he already knew about and has factored both hazards in his plan. The white car driver will see the parked cars and even if he does not in order for him to collide with Ashley he would have to accelerate like a rocket which obviously will not happen. In any case white car is in lane 2, should know cars park in groups down this road and lane 1 vehicles may move out suddenly in front of him. He should easily anticipate this as it will likely be just before parked car groups. No drivers move out just in front of the white car on this occasion.
I think I'm a good driver but then i watch you and I feel like a average driver. Lol
I think the most important thing is if you drive considerately for others and drive safely your a good driver 😊
The most important thing is to drive relaxed and calm, being aware of your surroundings. You're usually not far from a junction/traffic light so why stress and speed.
Is it just me, when I drive it just seems totally natural and always fun.
Watching how you talk about driving and how you drive it seems like a busy job or just plain hard work.
Not fun, laborious and boring.
I'm wondering what extent these videos can be applied in other countries? I've been watching for a while now and trying to remember some of these tips while I drive.
Great video, Ashley. One of your best! What's the square black device clipped on to your seat belt? A microphone?
It is a microphone. Thanks, Ashley
A couple of days ago I was driving home on a dual carriageway when a driving school car over took me, going at probably around 40mph in a 30 zone. The car then proceeded to go through a red light at a pedestrian crossing. It wasn't your school but it was a terrible example for the instructor to set.
Absolutely. Even when anyone drives my cars they get reminded of driving how I would. Some instructors aren’t very professional 👍🏼
I was recently behind an instructor who’s pupil was driving at 20 mph on a 30 road in the middle of rush hour! I thought it was very irresponsible and no disrespect to the pupil, but wasn’t driving safely at all. She kept clipping the kerb
Wow you drive like me.
Thank you so much for your video really helpful. I passed my Adi part 1 now I'm preparing for part 2. I heard that I can't use cruise control unless the examiner ask me to use. Is that true? Please let me know thank you. Ram.
I have realised you don't always put your hand break on when stopped at lights. You put it in neutral but no hand break is that ok to do so if you're not stopping for long?
At what point in the video?
I was a driving instructor,and I can say don't drive like some driving instructors I see!
got my test this thursday any tips ash?
Try and relax your hands as much as possible throughout 🤞
@@ashley_neal i passed ! 3 minors
24:35 the FORS Safe Driving course gets drivers out on a bicycle so they can see things from a cyclist's perspective. Shame its only for 'professional drivers' as its something the public could really do with.
I was over the moon when I heard that you are going to make some cycling videos. ;)
