Thank you for your kind words Colin! I was an ADI for 10 years, also Grade A. Glad you liked the roundabout videos as I do it differently from most instructors. But it worked for my pupils including the 15% who passed with 0 faults, so I must have done something right 😀 Thanks again for your comments, means a lot.

Thanks for your kind comments. Glad you found the video helpful 👍

I did and officially went on the mway today and yesterday (had my licence since 2018) and I couldn’t have been confident without this. Thank you once again 🙏

Hi Shauni. Glad you found the video helpful 😀 If you think about it motorways are actually more predictable than driving around town! You have no pedestrians, cyclists, parked cars, children, rubbish bins, driveways, oncoming traffic, dogs, etc, etc to deal with. As a result, you can focus on scanning further ahead and behind which is why the traffic can travel at higher speeds. Yes, you are travelling faster than in town but so is everybody around you, so the RELATIVE speed of all the vehicles around you is actually very low. If you are travelling at 70 and overtaking a lorry travelling at 60 then the relative speed difference is only 10mph. As a result you actually have more time to react to changes in the lorry’s speed/position than if you were in town travelling at 30 and overtaking a cyclist travelling at 10mph. Around town you have to deal with oncoming traffic - you are travelling at 30, they are travelling at 30 - if they stray onto your side of the road your safety gap is disappearing at a closing speed of 60mph! On faster roads like motorways it is important to get into the habit of constantly scanning the road - close by, then middle distance, then far ahead, then behind - repeat constantly! What’s nearby you will need to react to in The next few seconds - is the car ahead slowing, are the vehicles beside you changing lanes or getting ready to (if they are catching the vehicle in front of them then they will probably want to change lanes to get past) What’s in the middle distance you will be dealing with in 15-20 seconds time - spot changes up ahead so you can plan and react and not be caught by surprise. If there is nothing to deal with in the near or middle distance then look as far ahead as you can - upcoming junctions? (You or others may need to change lanes - start planning for it now!) - hills ahead causing lorries to slow or speed up? (Think about how it/will affect you and whether it will help if you change lanes now - once you are up behind the lorry going slowly up the hill it’s too late, no one will let you out!) Then check behind - is anyone coming up fast in any of the lanes behind you - closing the gap and cutting off your opportunity to change lanes? Do you see any blue lights behind (as far as you can see) - if so, what can you start planning now to ease the proces of the emergency vehicle? (E.g. changing lanes or cancelling your plan to change lanes so as not to get in its way) This needs to be a constant cycle of scanning so that you always aware of what is going on and what you are likely to have to deal with BEFORE you have to deal with it. Remember that at 60mph you cover a mile every minute, so what is a mile ahead now you will have to deal with in 60 seconds time, 1/2 a mile ahead in 30 seconds time. Once you develop a good scanning routine then motorways are predictable rather than unpredictable. Don’t just look for brake lights on the vehicle ahead, look for brake lights much further ahead as well (you’ll be half a mile ahead in 30 seconds time - plan for it now). This may sound like a lot of information to be taking in, but remember you don’t have the nearby hazards of pedestrians, cyclists, etc to deal with so you can look further ahead.

Wow, thank you very much! I will try to put all of your advise into practice. That was very kind and thoughtful

Thanks for your comments and glad you found it useful 😀 Continuous improvement is a great mindset to have 👍 I’ve been driving for over 40 years, but still every day is an opportunity to learn something new. The day you feel you know it all is the day to hang up your keys in my opinion.

Thanks for the comments. Glad you found it useful.
