A car is really just an extension of one's own body, so it's about knowing where you are and how others will be around you. I think if you relate driving to walking, then the importance of self-awareness becomes clearer in a car.

When you said “there’s no need to check your mirrors when going round a bend everyone knows your going round the bend” or to that effect, I’ve always checked my centre mirror before going round large bends on faster roads because there’s a couple where I practise that have really bad visibility and I know there’s been a bad overtake crash there. Thank you to the moon and back for your videos you are the best!!! ♥️♥️♥️

i was told by my instructor to use the side mirrors mainly. when i was still a learner ive seen some videos that u should check the center mirror first so i did it on a lesson and he basically put his hand over it and said imagine this aint here. i was also told nothing about blind spots, checking the center mirror when slowing down or checking my mirrors after building up my speed lets say after i make a turn at a crossroad. i was also told that i should clutch down first and then brake when stopping (at all times), and when i asked him if it isnt better to brake first and then clutch down when revs get to a 1000, he basically said something like it doesnt rly matter. what i can also recall, i wasnt taught how to setup the seat properly, basically i was told to set it up so i feel comfortable and lastly, i wasnt told to also put the car in gear after im parked, only the handbrake. my instructors been teaching driving for 20 years and is an ambulance driver for 30 years, no accidents. i feel like the driving schools in my country, czech republic, are focused on people passing the test rather than preparing them for their new chapter in life as a driver.. been following u for some time now and in my free time i like to watch ur videos, for example the clutch down off gas thing is new to me as ive been told to come off the gas and then clutch down and also many many things to find here because u not only just say u should be doin something but u explain the reasons and everything, its interesting and entertaining also, u look like u rly enjoy ur job.. id love to got u as my driving instructor if i wouldnt have my licence yet

I enjoy your videos although I've been driving for many years, but thankfully not in GB. Those narrow winding streets and roads would take a lot of getting used to. After decades of driving I've only had two accidents, one not my fault and the other was my fault. I made a left turn into a parking lot through a line of cars that was solid as far as the eye could see. I waited quite a while. Then I thought one driver was going to let me through as he left some space, but he didn't stop. I was 17. It was a minor fender bender. The other accident was caused by someone who made a left turn right in front of me. Same kind of accident, but different culprits, and many years apart.

Thank you so much for all helpful videos you made, James. I am practicing driving car but quite confused about checking mirror when turning right at T junction when you are in the main road. I imagine in a situation that when you want to turn right in the road ahead and you check central and right mirror. if you see a car behind is driving quite fast and signal right while you are a bit slow down to prepare for signal right to go to position to turn right. what will you do in that situation that if you don't signal then it will be too late. if you signal then you know the car behind maybe overtakes. should we wait for the car behind to see what they want to do? or should we go ahead with turning right? In the case of going ahead then what is meaning of checking right mirror when we turn right?

Hey I have seen all the videos you have made on driving uphills. You demonstrate different techniques to prevent rolling back. But still, there's a lot more you can add to them. Preventing rolling back clearly is the most challenging part of driving, specially if one lives in hilly areas with dense population/vehicles, like I do. Can you make a video on a rather busy road Uphill, where in, there is Bumper to Bumper Traffic and you need to start and stop many times while the cars behind you are adamant on keeping no distance with your car at all? Haha, I know this is asking for too much, But I am honestly frustrated to not master this skill. All your hill videos have been on empty roads. Please make one while maneuvering busy traffic uphill. (without using handbrakes) Thank you in anticipation. :)

Hi Richard, I have gotten back to driving after a long break, and I am basically back at square one. I started watching your channel a week ago, and I cannot tell how helfpul it is for me. Back to this video though; may I ask you, what would happen on the multiple lanes roundabout, if you wanted to exit left, and wanted to change your line left, but there would be cars in the left lane? Would you have to end up driving another round around the roundabout? Thank you for your time, and I look forward to reading your answer.

@ConquerDriving 2 жыл бұрын

If you have a break from driving and haven't been driving for years it's normal to forget. There shouldn't be anyone on your left as they should not pass on the left, this is known as undertaking. If you signal early enough and assertively position yourself they're unlikely to pass you. If they do though, you have to go behind them or round the roundabout again.

Hi great video, very helpful. At 9.31 when you checked your center mirror to slow down for the oncoming truck it was safe to slow down as the car behind you was at a sufficient safe distance which is fine. If the car behind you was too close to safely slow down would you just maintain current speed to go past the truck? thanks

Press it a bit and wait, there is a delay. Some cars are far harder than others and some are just impossible. If it's impossible to give a small amount of revs, you will need to get to the bite point with the smallest amount of revs possible. Once at the bite point, don't increase the gas and the revs will come down.

for left side judgement 1st park ur car in a road with a gap of 1feet from the marking of asphalt. then u need to find the point where that marking lines meets ir intersects in ur windshield. usually it intersects in the middle reference point in ur windshield/dashboard.stick a small dashboard toy (which u can buy easily in amazon or any shop) in that location. now if u see a car infront of ur car in the left side of that toy that means ur far enough to overtake the car. if the see the car in the right side of that toy then its not safe to overtake it. though is helpful for new drivers but exact judgement will come only by experience. and as ur driving a suv so i think the bonnet is visible for ur sitting position so i think its not very difficult to judge the car.

For anyone thinking you will need less lessons by watching videos on KZfaq, you will be wrong. You need actual lessons in combination with videos and theory work. Driving lessons are unique to each pupil. I'm taking lessons right now, and can say the actual lessons are pretty tough in manual. I watched hours of lessons and although they helped, I still need to physically practice the manoevers. One of my lessons solely practiced on parallel parking and roundabouts. I did parallel parking maybe 8 times to get it right in one actual lesson.

Amazing video. Sir one question when exiting roundabout lets say if you have too much traffic jam on the other side, and ofcourse you would need to break while doing that, do you need to check traffic behind. Usually while exiting roundabout we need to speed up, but then you realise other side is traffic jam or pedestrian crossing, so you will break as we don't have much time to check center mirror for behind traffic what do you advise in this situation. I was stuck in this because if we go slow, my instructor is why slowing down while exiting roundabout, if breaking then why harshly breaking without checking center mirror.

You have to ask yourself this question. If you need to stop does it matter what's behind you? In my opinion it's best you focus ahead and slow down for queues as early and genlty as possible. Worrying about what's behind may delay your braking making you beale more harshly and causing more danger.

Hi Richard, I notice there's a few comments on this video about blind spot checks. I'm based in NSW Australia. Any time we diverge a car width, a blind spot check is required. In your video at 15:43 you only check your left mirror to move across. Do you not think a left blind spot check is also required here?

It depends how wide the blind spot is, this video may help: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d5aaepuqsceXln0.html

do you have any tips for how I can get back into the habit of checking more often? I was really good when I started learning pee-pandemic but my instructor changed when I picked it back up again and we haven't gone back over mirrors like I asked so it's fallen out of routine, I still check them but not as much as I should, and not as much as I need to in order to pass. I just don't remember in some situations if I'm focused on what's ahead like at roundabouts, I remember when I'm signalling to go to a junction but I don't remember when going round parked cars and I sometimes forget my left mirror more than my right. I just keep being told to just remember next time but I need to get back into the habit, I have my own car to practice in but I'm a bit lost on how to form that habit again so I don't miss any. Is there anything you teach new learners to help them get the habit drilled in?

Driving a bit more slowly will give you more time to think and check. Your instructor can remind you but mostly it needs to come from you. But generally speaking, if you're struggling with something, doing it more slowly normally helps most things.
