Great how the blind spot is explained and how the vehicle disappeared and why checking it is so important for safety, gives much more meaning to checking the blind spot

I just came across this video now but just wanted to say, this is by far one of the BEST instructional driving videos I have ever seen...and I have watched many. I am extremely impressed at how thorough you have been in covering this topic and you have covered every detail, including the all important shoulder check of blind spot, something that incrediblly is not always even taught. You also mention when to move back into Lane 1 again, something that so many drivers do too early and too close the the vehicle they have overtaken. Anyhow, a huge thumbs up to you for this!

I had my driving test this morning and I passed! I kept on watching your videos and they really helped together with my practice sessions with my driving instructor. Thanks

My goodness....the blind spot illustration is scary....I0 seconds in the blind spot.{White car behind}

Omg. Thanks for showing that the blind spot mirror is not always reliable. Wow, shoulder check is a must!! So scary

Thank you for sharing an informative thorough video on this topic. I learnt the hard way about checking blind spots and still baffled and shocked as to why no instructor taught me that.

I passed my test a while ago and struggle with other drivers overtaking me or driving so damn close to my car. Apart from driving on the motorways I always stick to the speed limits and remain in control it’s when I am on the motorway I drive at the national speed limits.

I struggle a lot with changing lanes I don’t have that much confidence in it 🤦🏾‍♀️

Thank you for this Video - I must say that this and all other videos that you've put on You Tube is the reason why I have passed my Test today - Thank you to the whole team and God Bless you all

Thanks guys for the great video. Shoulder check is crucial when changing lanes especially on dual carriage ways.

Passed in March and struggle with changing lanes confidently 😭

Watch the lane u want to merge into, decide which empty space u want to merge into, it must be large enough, say empty space between A and B, A is ahead of B Change speed so that ur car in a position where A cannot see the signal light but B can see. Turn on signal light for 2 seconds. Make sure u can see B completely in side mirror and u r not too close to A, turn slightly to that lane, let B know ur purpose, as long as B doesn’t accelarate, it means he gets that. Finally, change lane completely. During that, also take care that the third car from the third lane may merge into the same empty space from oposite direction. So always don’t change lane too fast.

Your suggestion to signal second is different from the habit I've been building as a new driver, and what i believe i was taught. I live somewhere with moderate/heavy traffic. In my mind, if i signal in heavy traffic, I'm not telling another car what i WILL do so much as asking permission. Often i signal THEN look, and if its obvious i'll have no opportunity I turn it off, but otherwise I'll leave it on as a way of asking other drivers to let me in.

i have past my driving test today. your chanel helped me alot so a biiiiiiig thank you advance driving school😂😂

Thank you so much. Watching your videos, I passed my driving test in Dubai today.

I love the summary at the end. Thanks!!

I'm broke so before I book my practical lessons I am thoroughly covering lessons on youtube so that I don't waste time going over basics like cockpit routine! I also have booked my theory test before my first lesson so that is sorted out too.

I passed my driving test today massive thanks.

Lane changing is harder than it looks!

I'm trying to get better with the blindspot check. I struggle to multitask it while driving, keeping my car straight while looking. Almost went into a car while changing lanes because I didn't see it, thankfully the person driving with me noticed before I moved.

I have always found steering in a high speed road difficult but this video is helping me to level up my skills to become a safe driver Because overtaking is a complex skills in itself! xd

Hi, I love your videos - they are so helpful. I have passed my test but I'm still quite nervous. I did some additional lessons with an instructor to practice motorway driving. He told me to avoid looking over my shoulder on the dual carriage way and motorway as there is a risk that in the time you look over your shoulder, the road in front can change drastically due to the speeds you're driving at I. E. Traffic stopping. I want to be a safe driver and I am concerned about not seeing things in my blind spot on the dual carriageway/motorway but have had conflicting advice about looking over your shoulder!

If you don't check your blind spot they mention in your test, the examiner will fail you. So if turning right, look over you right shoulder and visa versa.

I’m taking my lessons and your videos are so helpful. Thank you and wish your channel much success

Good video, I dont like when you're driving and the roads suddnely change with no warning. For example the left lane turns into a left turn only lane and you want to go straight ahead. In busy traffic you might not be able to change lanes and just go the wrong way 😡

Nice videos and very good information. Thank's

Good advice on what to do if there's a car in the way when trying to change lanes to come off a roundabout.

All the Advance driving school videos are excellent

It's amazing to be able to relate to these videos as i live in Bury St Edmunds and walk, Cycle and practice driving in all the areas in all your videos, I have found each and every video very informative but this one in particular as i did have questions about this but haven't had a driving instructor explain it as well as you have

Highly helpful info from your channel!! Love from India ✌️ Can you please make a tutorial on how to judge the length of the car's bonnet and the car's width so that we don't accidentally hit/scrape the front/sides of the car.

Glad I found this video, its so helpful

Very helpful for learners

I failed twice on change lanes I hope I pass on my 3rd attempt

Thanks

Is it just me or your left mirror is not as clear as the right one. I’m having hard time understanding how you are able to check that left lane is clear? Thank you it’s a very helpful training(I understood the MSL concept using your right morrow of course :))

Informative, better than my driving instructor.

This video is perfect. Thank you❤

What would you advise to do during the driving test in this situation: Busy city centre, you're in the left lane, the instructor (or satnav) asks you to turn right ahead. You look at the mirrors, there are plenty of cars coming in both lanes behind you. Should you signal anyway? If you do so, and the car behind in the right lane holds their speed as if they are willing to give you way, but still keeps a relatively close distance from your car, should you change lanes anyway? I'm taking a driving test in a busy area, have faced this situation a couple of times and I don't really know what the judgement of the examiner will be. Many thanks.

Why is no one talking about how relaxing the lady's voice is?

I really like this Channel

Thanks it helped me alot plz make on another topic How to change lane in short track with heavy traffic ?

The highway is easy but city I have problems with

Meticulously informative and explicitly explained... Love your vedios...

Great video, just one thing. How can I tell changing lanes that it’s a safe gap? I failed my last test only on changing lanes because I am far too hesitant.

Thanks ..advance Driving.. I watched most of the videos.. really helpful... I passed my text today

Thank you very much... very useful to me...

Thank you for this.

I tend to move to my previous lane too early after the overtake, forcing the other driver to break sharply. Maybe you should have give a few suggestions. Nice video, thank you very much.

You are teaching us verrrry well.. I am sorry to ask you a question, I want to know huw much time is require for changing lane? And when we change lane from slow line to fast or fast to slow should we increase or decrease the speed of car or not?

Very insightful videos!! Thank you 🙏

Very helpful !

You must have got your blind spot mirror in a lucky bag. I have a similar one on both my mirrors and can see all or part of a vehicle coming from behind. I don't have any blind spots to either side.

Amazing video! God bless truly☺️

First I noticed that there was a discrepancy in speed between the round cars speedometer being seen from time to time in the bottom left corner of the screen and the apparent speed being shown by another mechanism on top of the dashboard. perhaps you can clarify what in fact was happening there. Second.. Many drivers are not aware that by just looking at oncoming vehicles approaching from the rear that the outside wing mirror actually gives a totally wrong impression of that vehicles distance from you the driver. Perhaps that needs explaining cos a lot of drivers don't know this and on seeing the approaching vehicle some distance away do actually pull out but the vehicle is much closer than can be seen in that mirror. Third when that vehicle has passed us some drivers immediately pull out and If anything untoward, unexpected and suddenly were to happen that causes that front vehicle to slow or stop suddenly then you would have no chance to stop also and would become involved in a smidsy a rear end collision Fourth, One should make sure that there is space in which to return to in the inside lane safely and with safe space to all other vehicles or have to continue to overtake other traffic. Not being able to return into the inside lane once committed.. Fifth. After passing the target vehicle one should look to see the overtaken vehicle in the inside mirror before deciding that safe following on distance has been gained and one can return to the inside lane in greater safety. Indicate when one is moving in and then move in. Unfortunately many drivers pull in too soon and end up causing some concern to the vehicle being overtaken. They just look at the nearside mirror which again shows the overtaken vehicle to be further away than it is and so one must wait until the overtaken vehicle is at least centre of the internal mirror. Many don't and pull in or cut in too soon as said and that is in itself an offence of failing to drive without due care and attention or without reasonable consideration but the H.C s tells drivers to return as soon as it is safe to do so and it isn't safe unless good safe distance is given. Unfortunately white van man or any van or HGV driver hasn't got an internal mirror and so they rely on their external mirrors only and that's perhaps why they have a bad reputation for cutting up others. Six. It seems easy to say M.S.M.but as one can see there is much more to it than that and more than the explanations that I have given. It;s not easy to overtake and governing it all there should never be an overtake that exceeds the speed limit no certainly not from an advanced driver or rider anyway.

idk if its just me but when i look in the door mirrors to switch lane, it feels as if the cars are too close so i hesitate to move over

Look quick. Grance

Hi, I have a question. When we are changing lanes, how much distance should we leave with the car behind, whether said car behind is in the same lane as us or the lane that we are moving into?

Keep it up it’s very useful

Suppose you need to accelerate for safety reasons, is it okay to break the speed limit for this? For example, if you need to accelerate to a different lane even though it would mean having to go over the speed limit, is this allowed or can it get you into legal trouble?

Thanks dear very much 🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️

It's perfect video thanks

In India while you are shoulder checking your car may fall inside a hole. Roads are such..

The roundabout roads are so confusing. Thank goodness we don't have that here in Canada.

This was really helpful. I do have one question if you don't mind? For example if I'm approaching a live bus lane and the right hand lane is full of traffic back to back, would I then signal even though there is a car in the way? Because in other circumstances this can be deemed as changing the flow of the traffic? Thank you

Nice video! Very useful!

What should you do if somebody is in the wrong lane on the rounderbout stopping you going off at your prefered exit . Do you break let him go the turn into your exit or should you be aware of the vehicles around you and reduce speed letting him go and proceeding to your exit or do you do a 360 around the roundabout then take your exit ?

Hi, love all your videos! They've been so useful in helping me get back into driving after failing my first and only test 15 years ago! Had my confidence knocked after getting into an awkward situation today, and thought I'd ask what the best thing to do was. I was approaching a large roundabout with filter lanes and realised too late that I needed to be one lane over to the right for my direction. By the time I realised though, there wasn't a safe gap to change lanes. My instinct was to commit to the direction my filter lane would take me, but that went straight onto a motorway so that wasn't an option for a learner! I know for next time I need to improve my reading of signs and road markings and move over in better time.. but.. once in that situation, what's the best thing to do?

Thank you alot

Thanks for this 🤩

What if a car suddenly stops in front of us and we have to change lane and a car is coming from the back should we turn or stop??

I can't thank you enough 🙏🙏

Hi! Where did you buy the digital speedometer on top of the dashboard?

I'm getting really confused on the blind spots while changing lanes ,, changing left or right. So many instructor videos with some checking blindspots and some not. I've a taxi test this week , don't know what's correct

Top vid very helpful cheers 👍

When should we do the shoulder check in the MSM routine? Immediately after the mirror check?

What i find hard sometimes is the judgement of the car in the side mirrors. X i wear glasses that make things bigger so i find this hard x

Great videos ! (I'm from north_africa)

As the Highway Code rule 163 says, "move quickly past the vehicle". I was surprised you did not suggest, once you have decided to overtake, to increase your speed before you change lane. There are too many drivers, having been slowed by the preceding vehicle, who move out and only then start to accelerate, turning a reasonable gap into a problem area.

Great video. can I use blind spot mirrors for the driving test?

I think driving in main land Europe is easy then in uk...uk roundabout are very confuse

Here's a question,when on a dual carriageway you need to pass a parked on the left,but cant because of approaching vehicles,I understand you wait behind the parked vehicle,now the question is because are positioned to the right and stopped when do you signal?whilst waiting can you signal in front of the approaching car or do you wait for it to be clear?everybody but everybody is dodging this question,I've had 2 tests and I failed on the same thing,once told that I should have signalled whilst stationary behind parked vehicle,once told off for signalling whilst in the same situation,incredible!!!,I want to pass what is the correct procedure please,I need to know

Plz also make video on, how to judge car from left side when driving, reference point or other? with demo... I'll be very thakfull to you

I hesitate when changing lanes

Ok so the routine applied to merge lane on dual carriageway is msm Breaking down to centre mirror right mirror over shoulder signal n manoevre

Thank you so much this helped massively, just a quick question, when entering on the right can we then move to the left lane position whilst looking in the mirrors, but without the need to signal? As we can only signal just before the exit we plan to leave at

I heard that if you can see the tires, the reg, and the car itself then it’s a safe gap. How accurate it this?

thank you

Completely off topic but where can I get the speedo on top of your steering wheel? What to look for when I search for it? Thank you for another amazing video.

So are you driving that much below the speed limit? or all those other cars speeding that fast?

nice video and nice info

You don’t illustrate changing lanes in inner city roads or is it you don’t have dual lanes in that part of the uk I would like to know if there has been a change in rules regarding signaling when changing lanes on 30 mph roads regardless of anyone behind you or not

Do you have any for heavy traffic? Or even better, heavy traffic going at speed ignoring the 2-second rule, which many drivers do

I struggle with knowing if someone’s letting me in when I indicate, any tips? I look in the mirror and can’t judge if they’re slowing down for me

Dammit I didn't consider using the the center mirror

How far back should it be that you get in the correct lane when approaching a dual carriageway/motorway exit or roundabout

Hi Guys, again what a useful video for all those learners out there. I have a quick question: When I'm changing gears or looking at the mirrors before turning, my car always goes towards the right of the road. Any tips on how I can stop this?

Was very useful

Thank you 😊

Is it not dangerous to do a shoulder check at high speed? You cannot see in front momentarily.

Mirror. To check for. The car to move traffic. Is there danger
