I made the same mistakes you talked about in this video...I lost confidence because I thought I just wasn’t good at driving but watching you made me realize it’s part of the learning process. knowing that has given much more confidence and I’m more motivated to learn the correct way to make left turns 🤗

You've just described one of my main issues while driving. One of my instructors (got two) actually pointed this out on several occasions (centering and cornering) but even though he noticed it he was unable to give me some proper tips. I drive on the right side (so I'm on the left side in the vehicle) and I'm a bit skeptical of right leg being in the center of the road, but I'm gonna try this out during my next lesson. I've done 10 out of 15 sessions and recently it feels to me like I'm supposed to learn how to drive by myself and the instructor is just there to stop me from causing an accident and point out stuff I'm doing badly. I'm really glad I came across your channel because you actually give tips and how to fix driving mistakes and you don't just point them out. Keep up the amazing work!

I tried this technique and although I didn't get to grips with it on the turning aspect at the time, it certainly helped on the straight. I forever veer to the left and my instructor has to push the wheel away from the kerb or parked cars, which was getting to me somewhat. I applied your technique and she didn't have to touch the steering wheel once. The best thing about this tip is that it takes the job away your eyes in a sense, as it's more of a "feel" approach. Thanks.

@ConquerDriving 4 жыл бұрын

You're welcome, it's much harder to get it to work on then bend. I normally need to give loads of help and encouragement to get it to work. It's all about aiming at the right spot, not steering to early, not being afraid of the curb and adding enough steer for your left leg to go on the middle of your new lane after the bend.

My driving instructor says I've been learning fast, but I think it's coz of all these techniques I've implemented. I especially like the leg technique for finding the middle of the lane. On my first lesson I swirved left and right a lot, but now I don't have that problem.

Just came back from my fourth lesson and watched this. It makes so much sense now why I was apparently taking the corners too wide - I'd been staring at that curb point on the left the whole time! I just know my instructor wants me to "look at the curb and stick to it" but I'm going to mentally think of it the way explained in this video. It's like an optical illusion almost with feeling you're much closer to the curb than you are. Anyways, thank you - these videos are GOAT
