How to join dual carriageways and motorways using slip roads UK. I explain what to do when you really can't go and how to tell if it's safe to join in small gaps of traffic. There are lots of sample clips showing good and bad driving on slip roads and plenty of tips throughout.
The road I drove on at 17:47 had a national speed limit at the time of filming which was changed to a 40 mph limit 2 weeks after. There was a fault with the front camera during the replay of the slip road where we went on the grass at 8:20 but as you can see from the rest of the video, it looks great now!

The sliproad at 22:14 where to start with you're at a right angle to the dual carriageway appears similar (though the subequent slip area longer) to one I had a nasty experience on. I was just about to turn onto the sliproad when I got hit full in the face by the low winter sun, completely blinding me so that I had to just stop where I was. To passing vehicles it must have looked like I was just going to charge straight out into the main carriageway from my position. Due to the shortness of the sliproad I ended up sitting for what was probably a good few minutes (thankfully no traffic came up behind) at the edge of the carriageway waiting for a safe gap because I was now at 0 and all the road traffic was doing 65-70 all racing to get home from work, and there was no way the vehicle I was in could get up to that speed on the sliproad alone.

Motor trader 15 years , PDi 18 months struggling. One thing good at is keeping a car going that is breaking down. Stone in brake caliper. Sump guards fallen. Wiper arms snap off. Emergency repairs and….and the like 8000 cars. Many with character !! It’s so easy make a crust used car. Boringly so. Easy. Learning be a driving instructor. A mega challenge

This is the thing I am not worried about. Multi lane roundabouts I am. And I am a qualified.

18:25 - well said, Ashley Neal said you shouldn't signal if you can't 'see' anyone...💀

I always used a place called Master cover but they've been bought out by Towergate now so it's not the same and prices have increased. There's a great place called Instructor Cover Plus in Wales and they compare several companies and get you a good price.www.instructorcoverplus.com/
