Keep at it Emily. With enough practice under your belt your brain develops a subconscious "road sense" and muscle memory, and you'll suddenly realise everything isn't as overwhelming as it used to be.

@@Milkster1She seems a bit away with the fairies, if she manages to drive safe and get a licence it’ll be after many many more lessons ahead. I mean she’s had a good amount of hours already, and just starting off in this she’s not able to control the car or her attention. Another example is she almost drives off the road or into oncoming traffic multiple times in this too. This shouldn’t be an issue after the lessons she’s had. Seems like she can only just manage to focus on one thing at a time. 8:40 he’s explaining something and she goes “vroom” as a response. It’s like trying to teach a child. And after that she says “I know the rules of the roundabouts” again, like a child. She isn’t taking anything in, she thinks she knows everything, drives poorly. He explains. rinse and repeat.

@thorbjrnhellehaven5766 6 ай бұрын

@@mawangshallhangI believe quite the opposite. I view her reactions more as coping with her inconfidence. She is a learner. She's building skills and confidence. With practice her skills are building, but she worries a lot about making mistakes, and that affects her confidence, and in turn the pace of acquiring skills. I'm sure she can become a very good driver; partly because of her attitude, and the way she wants to not annoy other drivers. While I believe the attitude can be healthy in the long run, I appreciate that it's probably what affects her learning in the most negative way at the moment, because she isn't confident enough yet; then it's holding back her progress. Once her skills and confidence gets up to par, she will be driving very safely. She will probably settle at a level of confidence matching her skills. While some learners gain skills a lot faster, some of them can end up as dangerous drivers; not because of skills, but because they are over confident, making risky decisions.

@CreeperGreenMC 6 ай бұрын

Not thinking about a stupid mistake you have made and just carrying on, is one of the hardest thing to learn, I think. I once barely scraped a kerb with the wheelcap, just barely. And when I saw the "damage", my first reaction was like "nope not driving a car again". Turns out that my dad actually scraped a kerb before me and the missing paint of the plastic probably was not my fault even, but I never looked at the wheelcap so I never noticed it. And I am always suprised how many multi-lane roundabouts you have in britain. I am from Austria and I know two 2-Lane roundabouts from the top of my head and both are connecting from and to a motorway. But at least they have marked lanes, and a sign before it for which lane goes to which exit.

Trying to do complex stuff like this feels almost impossible for the first few times. There's so much to do in such a short time!

Keep at it Emily! I'm 26, learning to drive in the US right now, and Emily reminds me of myself lol. I feel solidarity with her. My attitude has been my top priority since I've started learning to drive. I put off driving for many years because I was scared, and honestly I feel overwhelmed at some point during nearly every lesson/driving session (I have maybe 20 hrs behind the wheel). It's a conscious effort to try to keep a positive mindset even when my brain is telling me "I don't want to get in the car and feel anxious, I don't want to make mistakes again, or feel stupid again". The convo about Emily's attitude about traffic lights spoke to me because I could see both sides. When something sucks, you want to just say "That sucks" and be done with it, but with driving I've found that I can't give into that urge. For me, right turns suck right now, but I can't let myself hate right turns because I can't NOT learn them. It's always annoying to hear from other people, but they're right when they say you have to force positive thoughts into your mind even if you don't 100% believe them. When your brain goes, "I hate lights" you literally have to say to yourself "Actually they're fine, they're just tricky". It sounds like it won't do anything and you'll still feel the same way, but brains are silly and will start believing whatever you tell them lol.

As someone who is a little further on in the learning process (I'm about 70% test ready) roundabouts I also really really struggled with when first starting them, there's so much to do and focus on it all gets a bit overwhelming when you're new but you're doing great Emily and in time it'll become natural, what you have to remember, and what we tend to forget, when learning is that we are doing just that, we're learning. Nothing is ever going to be perfect when learning, you aren't going to nail everything first time and that's okay, that's what this process is all about.

A three-lane roundabout the first day you've driven around anything bigger than a mini roundabout? Mad respect, I don't think many people could do that. You did pretty well there, Emily! It'll come, honest. And I'm not sure if it's occurred to you that experienced drivers had muscle memory of changing gear, indicating and steering that allows them to take in new road situations - you're still developing that and figuring out how to deal with traffic and road markings and two lanes and and and... Traffic lights give you time to breathe and collect yourself, make sure that the car's set up to move, work out where you're going and what lane to be in when. Let yourself have that couple of breaths where the car's not moving. You're doing really well!! And you've got a good driving instructor who's giving you a good experience of being behind the wheel at the most stressful point of any driver's driving life. Which means that once you pass your test and get your car, you're going to be able to relax and enjoy it once you've got more experience, and you won't worry about going out and getting that experience.

Keep it up Emily! You're doing great! Don't be sorry when you do mistakes, they are part of the learning process. There's only so much an instructor can explain, the rest you have to learn through trial and error. The way you explain your worries about how other will react to your mistakes is perfectly normal, and tels me you have a healthy atitude. Through your training, you're improving your skills and (hopefully) your confidence. Eventually, you will just do, and not think too much about things. I believe you attitude can help you to become a safer driver, it might impact your progress today when you worry abou others optinnions; but in the the long run it can prevent you from becoming over confident, and majing more dangerous decisions.

It took me a long time to start being able to recognise gaps on roundabouts. I think it was a video on this channel that finally taught me how to do it. Watching footage of a roundabout while relaxed at home was easier to learn from than when I was tense in the car.

@lokon1979 6 ай бұрын

Same here, I had been really struggling with recognising when I can go and can’t. I wanted a lot of practice but you can only do so many during lessons (you take time to get to a roundabout and, there’s no cars so you don’t get the chance to practice!). I felt even videos on KZfaq aren’t enough examples for me to learn; then I found a restaurant that has big windows facing a busy roundabout, bought a cup of coffee and sat there for an hour just observe and learn, an hour of non-stop examples with any situations you could possibly think of! I finally learnt that way and found out I had just been overthinking all along. When you get it, that’s it.

Confidence is really key here, once you get frustrated you start making mistakes. Keep practicing and don't focus on each individual thing too much, just let it flow and it will come naturally to you.

I can tell Emily you just have those nerves that get in the way sometimes. Emily I hope you're reading this, but it's okay to be nervous. Nerves can take a long time to conquer they don't just come overnight. I was a very nervous learner driver and while I could drive okay for the majority of my driving I would struggle on doing 2 things at once especially when there was a lot of cars around. I would struggle to remember my indicating, my braking (I would clutch first all the time) and any time I did something wrong I felt like I was going backwards a few steps which really knocked my confidence. There were some days I dreaded driving and couldn't eat in the morning before the lesson. I was lucky to also have a very patient driving instructor like Richard. Please don't let things get to you and I know it's easier said than done, but stick with it and you will get there, even if sometimes it doesn't feel like it. I hope to see you back on here soon !

Good stuff Emily, you're doing great! I remember how overwhelming busy traffic features could feel when I was a learner, so I can totally relate to your experience on the three-lane roundabout. I used to have to remind myself that there's no rush, both in driving and in progressing as a driver. Setbacks and mistakes are totally normal, and in fact they're the most meaningful learning experiences. You don't need to sweat it in the moment. Richard is there to make sure you're both safe and talk to you about what you can do better after the fact. You're crushing it, keep it up!

@bencodykirk 6 ай бұрын

You're doing well, Emily! Keep at it - don't get discouraged. What you're trying to learn isn't easy (ignore anyone who says it is). Plus, your (British) roads don't do you any favours (I moved from the UK to Australia in 1996 and I don't think they've painted any road markings since I left!). One thing you need to master is patience. Don't get impatient waiting for a gap at a roundabout and don't get impatient at traffic lights. I don't like traffic lights either, but I put up with them and don't let them ruin my driving experience. Driving can be enjoyable (despite all the idiots on the road) but as Richard said, you have to keep a positive attitude.

@user-ok5sc7sw5k 3 ай бұрын

you were (obviously) right about the left lane for an exit straight ahead however I have come across a few roundabouts where the local custom is to use the right lane when going straight or turning right. These are usually where the left turn is as much used as the straight ahead exit and there are two lanes approaching the roundabout. It is customary to leave the left lane free for left-turners. I realise this is not officially correct but is a custom. Drivers need to be aware of this as someone approaching in the left lane but intending to go straight can result in traffic approaching the roundabout from the left turn road thinking they are turning left. They are wrong to jump to that conclusion but it does happen so vigilance is necessary.

Do you teach learners about the utilities in the car(cruise control, buttons on the steering etc.) when they get good enough? I'm from India, and my instructor taught me all the functions in the car I was learning in the last lessons and that has been helpful to me.

i've been doing roundabouts for a little while now but i still find them a little overwhelming cause theres so many things to think about and you have to think of so many things at once. I see a car on the right so i slow to a stop and only then do i realise theres a blocker going round so i could have gone but I realised too late so now i have to wait and its just a lot to think about, having to know where *every* car is going at any given moment. But i think its one of those things that comes with time the more you get used to it, so you just have to keep practicing

I think she did well - it's often easy to do 10 things well but make a mistake or two and to come away thinking only about the mistakes.

She isn't alone when something happens it completely throws you off the whole drive. I had a lesson and my son had really upset me that morning and my whole lesson was a mess but it showed me what can happen when your head is all over the place so to take a break to calm down before you drive again. 😊

@25:00 "You're going down a dark road here" Mr. Psychologist returns! :D Nice episode though. I didn't realise the left lane almost always containing 12 O'clock straight-ahead rule, I thought it varied depending on which Big Roundabout you met.

Great point on deciding not to have things irritate you. It could be 60 years of being annoyed. ❤

Hi, I'm learning with you how to drive , recently joined you, find your video very helpful! I have a question, might it seems weird to ask: when is the best time to start check your mirrors, my instructor starting raising voice with question' what I gonna do?' And I'm become lost as I'm panicking due to his voice like I'm doing something wrong. He told that I'm late, but nevertheless I do check mirrors and do signal and stop before the line. He said I'm late. Therefore, I got a question when it is not late as my instructor didn't give me this answer.

I had the same issues with positioning feel like its good now but sometimes still messing up and my last lesson was also roundabouts! (3rd ever lesson)

Great video! Ive got one question. Part three coming up so am focusing on delivering client centred lessons. On the lesson you go from full instruction to QnA (prompts). Have you gained agreement first or you simply change lvl of instruction on the go? I do that all the time on the lessons when I feel they might know the answer to the question - I ask the question. Not necessarily gaining agreement.

Personally I think some trainers are too coaching focused or client centered learning focused that it gets in the way of using your intuition. I ask questions if I feel I need to understand my pupil and I tell my pupil what to do if I need them to know what to do. I do think it's a good idea to check if the pupil agrees with what you're suggesting when appropriate but I don't let the standards check form hold me back or guide me. I would argue many trying to pass the part 3 are doing standards check focused learning, not client centered learning. I focus on the pupil. I think the DVSA are far less coaching orientated than many trainers would have you believe. The DVSA want to see you help someone learn, give good value for money, keep the car safe, teach an appropriate task for their level in an appropriate area and identify what the problem is accurately. It's like getting your car fixed, if you don't know what you need to change, you will be wasting a lot of time and money changing things until you're lucky. Good diagnosis is the key. I think the real skill of the job is to know why your pupil is doing what they're doing, then you can really help them. For example, why are they staring right at junctions, if you both know why, then a solution is not far away. For me, coaching is a great tool, not the focus.

We Dutchies are so spoiled with our roads, they are perfectly maintained and designed. There are also clear lines on the roundabouts. That makes it all so much easier and safer. We only use multiple lanes on a roundabout if it is really large, every other roundabout is just one lane. Most countries do not understand how roundabouts work and therefore do what they think is right and make it way to complicated.

@rhia3012 6 ай бұрын

I don't know if this will help (or if you already teach it) but with position on the road in a straight line my learning instructor told me that the middle line is in a certain spot on the windscreen and this helped me figure out where I needed to be positioned (I don't know how to explain it (maybe 1/8 in from the right?) so maybe when you're driving take note of where it is for you and then point out where it should be for them :)

@ConquerDriving 6 ай бұрын

I don't find that helps, judging the distance from the side is not a good idea in my opinion as the road varies in width and you would only be checking one side. I teach people to focus on the centre of the space they want to use. This video may be of interest: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qq-fa6annNK9YJc.htmlsi=8Zf2Y3e85hEUu13F

I was so overwhelmed by the road and felt like the car was driving me and not me driving the car. This changed when i started driving the family car after i took my licence. The fact that it is a jeep car helped me realise how to steer. I can now comfortably steer the car in very low speed, like 10 km/h or so. Also comfortably driving at 50-60 km/h in straight line road outside the city. I have been driving the car by myself only around the area i live outside the city for about 2-3 weeks now, well technically 2-3 times a week during the weekend when i go to my hometown from uni and my dad and brother don't get the car to go hunting or my mom needs it. Since this is the only car i drive now, i don't have it all the time, despite having quite some cars in the family, 1 is my uncle's, 1 is my dad's from work that only he is allowed to drive, 1 is a difficult car to drive as it has a blank area in the travel of the gas pedal and the jeep im driving. Also, im not comfortable yet to go further by myself so my dad or brother have to make time for me; i tried going with my mom the 2nd time i drove the car after i got my licence and she was way to panicked😂 (wasn't yet used to steering and took a turn wide and was about to hit a wall, in like 2 km/h. I saw it and was stopping the car but she started shouting so i was annoyed and pulled the handbrake and gave her the car. Haven't driven with her in the car since😂)
