Hi Rick, I failed my G2 in first attampt last month and felt so frustrated. Then I found your channel and your videos are super helpful. I watched your videos time and time again and passed my G2 today!! Why didnt find your channel earlier!!! ❤❤❤

It should be illegal to honk at someone in front of you because you’re not turning on a red. I turned on a red just like twenty minutes ago because I felt the pressure behind me (usually almost always it’s only a matter of time before I get honked at) and I turned and the car that was coming though not in the lane I was turning into honked at me and I instantly regretted giving in to the pressure. What we need to remind yourselves is that the person behind you who honks at you is NOT going to take responsibility if you did get in to an accident . All they will say is “why did you turn just because I honked ?” I would love to see NO TURN ON RED on all signals eventually.

Thanks, Rick. I passed my road test. The examiner told me that I executed safe driving at all times. I didn't give him the chance to fail me. All because of your great videos. Thanks again.

Your videos really helped me a lot. I passed my exam!!!. Thank you

I almost caused a wreck today because I was trying to turn right on red but the person in the lane to the left of me (waiting for the light to turn green to go right) pulled wayyy out over the line and I was looking to my left (my view was impaired due to the person blocking my view) and I guess the person behind me wanted me to hurry up so they laid on the horn and I went and I didn’t see a car coming from the left and they had to slam on their brakes for me. I feel very bad about it and I’m nervous to ever drive again I get so nervous and jittery

I love how he puts his face in the thumbnail and also his car has 300,000 miles.

In Ontario, you’re not required by law to turn right on a red light. Some may say by not turning on a red light you are impeding with the regular flow of traffic. My advice to them is I rather be safe than sorry and they can honk all they want.

I almost crashed today because I didn't realize I also had to look ahead for left-turning vehicles. Thanks so much for the video!

Very good instructional video. I am a driving instructor and it's amazing at how many people don't stop, don't use their turn signal, try to squeeze into the bike lane, turn into the incorrect lane, etc. And for the impatient driver behind that will honk if you don't make the turn. Thanks for the video.

thank you very much, I passed my test because of you and your advice

Thank you!!! Thank you!!!!! I watched your videos and they really helped me, I passed the driving test!!!!

Hey thank you sir August I just passed my N road test here in Coquitlam thanks so much for your professional content and driving education tutorials for the purposes of the road test! For those about to go or practicing for it, it really isn’t that bad after you practice and put your mind at ease. This N represents location freedom and near infinite opportunity in the hustlin’ bustlin’ world, so be thankful you have so much support online and in your locale to help you realize this freedom. Cheers!

Even though I passed my driver test 4 years ago I still come back to these video here and there. Almost got hit cause the person behind me didn't turn in right lane first then go into the left lane I did it the right way. The person had time to hit the horn but not the brakes & had the nerve to high beam me I ignored the person just shaked my head in disappointment

I’m so memorized by the mountains, large hills and SNOW😱 (I live in a small town in Georgia) so every time I watch your videos, I get distracted by lookin at them! Tho my drivers test is on 9/3/2k19 😭 and I WILL SURVIVE!! 💪

I have anxiety in driving and you made it so easy . Thank you

I am going to do the road test in October 17th 2020 but I am a little bit nervous. I do everything but parallel parking is so scary and people are disappointing me so bad but your videos work really good

Hey Rick ! All of your videos are so helpful and truly a bless for drive test. Many thanks for these wonderful explanatory videos which helped me pass my drive test. Great job!

I’m 47, a beginner driver and about to finish my 14-hour practical driving course (8 hours for basic and 6 hours for advanced). Since it’s very expensive to take additional courses, I’m just relying on YT videos to acquire additional knowledge. Good thing that I came across your channel and your videos are helping me a lot! Here in the Philippines, most roads are narrow with a lot of obstacles, poor road conditions and uneducated drivers. So put them all together, a very challenging situation especially for someone like me. What you impart in your tutorials adds more confidence and better understanding to what I’ve learned in driving school. Learning is a continuous process so I’m gonna stay tuned to your channel from now on and for as long as I can drive. Stay safe, Rick, and warm hugs from the 🇵🇭!

Hey there Rick! VERY important video for new drivers. I certainly had a big challenge when turning right on red when I was a new driver. I think that this is probably one of the top challenging things for new drivers since firstly, it is dangerous if not done properly, and secondly, it is sometimes difficult to know what all is going on in the intersection. What I mean is that the driver needs to know for sure who has the green light before they turn. Usually, cross traffic has the green, however, when they get amber, the new driver might still be looking for traffic from there, and possibly not noticed the amber, and wonder why traffic is stopping, and just be super confused as to what is happening. I know this because it happened to me when I was first learning to drive. I actually made a HUGE blunder, almost causing an accident because of this. Also, often, just like in the video, the oncoming traffic gets advanced green, and since one turning on the red cannot see this, it may be confusing, and for a new driver even more so. After that incident, I am super cautious when turning right on red. My best tip for new drivers would be to KNOW FOR SURE who has the green light, and that way you know who you have to yield to. Overall, be extra cautious when performing this manoeuvre because it certainly isn't the safest one out there.

Almost got into a wreck attempting this, my teacher said go there was pedestrians tried to turn right as we went the light changed and the person stepped off the curb.. the person you drive with makes a huge difference when learning how to drive.

Yeah actually I almost caused a wreck today while trying to turn right at an intersection but there was a red light and I almost crashed into another car. Thanks for the video it was really helpful

Rick, I can't believe how LUCKY I am to have found all your tremendously helpful videos. You are an AWESOME instructor. You explain everything so clearly. I have never had anyone been able to teach me all the basics so well. I have always been afraid to drive even though I have a license. I think by learning from all these super videos, I will be equipped to drive safely. Thanks again.

I love how you did so many examples.

Hi Rick , it's me again , after I failed my first attempt . I do always watch ur video, and turning into intersection with red light is one of my mistakes , but after I watch this , I'm really confident that I gonna fast my 2nd attempt on October 2 . Wish me luck . I subscribed btw .

And while we are talking about turning right on red, just a cautionary tip on the regulatory sign which says "No Turn on Red". Often times, as a beginner, I used to end up completely ignoring this sign (of course inadvertently) while turning right on red, and I believe it happens majorly because of our prime attention focused on watching the traffic and pedestrians/bikes/etc. As a matter of fact, this was the very main reason I flunked my driving test in my first attempt! Long story short, just making sure we pay attention to the regulatory signs, if any, that restrict turning on red, is very very important to avoid possible mishap (and of course, a red light violation ticket ;))... All the best!! Note: The above at least applies here in California. Not sure if there's any similar rule in other regions.

Always wondered about coming to a full stop or not. Thank you!

I had my driving test yesterday and I failed because I didn't come to a complete stop. Thanks for this video. I feel more confident to try again.

Hi Rick! I found your videos last week and I'm so happy I did. I have my behind-the-wheel test here in CA next week and was somewhat nervous. I watch your videos for reference and knowledge! You cleared up the ​confusion I had about turning right and left at intersections and right-of-ways. So very helpful and thankful I stumbled upon your channel :)

how do you know that the person on the other side has an advance green arrow? just see if they start turning before you or what?

Thanks a lot for your super informative videos! Last night I watched your videos, so today my instructor was really happy with my improvements! He had no idea that I was watching your videos last night! Hahah

I passed my g2 today. Your videos were extremely helpful. I wanted to make sure to thank you. :)

Thank you so much, this information helped a lot i have an upcoming driving test 2 weeks from now

I'm here for a knowledge refresh. I failed my first attempt for class 2 because I had some bad habits from driving for 30+ years. One being taking both hands of the wheel to adjust my head band at a stop sign ( 🤯 woops ) and I had another when I stopped at a stop light to turn right, a cube van was beside me, I pulled ahead looking around the van and then went. The examiner called it 'turn right on road without stopping.' 🤷‍♀ He said I should have stopped in front of the van and check every thing as well as shoulder checks. So treating that situation as a yield after the stop was wrong, and be more obvious with the shoulder checks, even though I've seen city busses do it all the time :P I did stop before I snuck ahead to see around the van, The van was over the stop line but the stop line wasn't very visible. I'm in Prince George BC, the snow and slush makes the lines hard to see. I have another test coming next Monday. The head band is coming off and I may get whiplash from the shoulder checks lol ( Granny school bus driver is the plan lol )

I love your videos. They help me to not be so nervous about driving. Cause I would HATE to be confused while on the roads.😪😑

Very few people come to a full stop! It is not enforced so it is getting much worse with each passing year. I'm always worried that someone is going to rear end me cause I always do stop.

good information. at 4 way intersections always gotta make sure to look to the left for people coming straight, look ahead for people turning left, and look right for people u turning

I can't thank you enough for your informative videos! keep it coming!

So just to clarify (tell me if I’m wrong anywhere): At a yield sign you go slowly and check oncoming traffic without stopping unless someone is coming. At a red light you stop and wait for everything else to pass before turning. At a red light no turn sign you don’t turn (for obvious reasons). At a green light you have right of way on a RIGHT turn and don’t need to check traffic. At a green light on a LEFT turn you have to yield for incoming people.

Looks Easy I’m Scared As Hell To Do It Like I Don’t Wanna Mess Up Or Anything 🤣

This was good but what would be helpful for me is instruction on judging the distance on the cars that are approaching.

1:40 How would you know if they have a green arrow or a green? They could be yielding to you as you are oncoming traffic but you're waiting for them to go assuming they have a green arrow??

Hi man Nice work liked your video I god my license in florida in first attempt you video helped a lot Thanks much

Thanks

Great video! Very clear and detailed instruction. Your camera is awesome as well. Thank you. This helps me a lot!!!!

This is awesome, I was worried about driving by myself for the first time today so started brushing up on driving the right of way. This video helped a lot and the fact I live in Vernon too its as if I had a one on one lesson from an instructor in Vernon 😆

His videos make me so happy

I had this confusion today itself of being turning on red and here is your video! Thanks.

Wow I lear with the video some staff thank you

1:39 how u know if the car turning left is going to go. I had an automatic fail on my driving test because I went right when the car opposite side went but I thought he wasn’t going to go because it has been 3 seconds and he hasn’t moved.

I am learning driving and I really appreciate your clear explanation, thank you 🙏🏻

This is so awesome, so many real life cases to learn from!

i passed the tex by score 96 for the fist time, thank u very much!

Thank you very much for this precious information, however, I have a question, In the case of turning to the right and the light is red, the street is empty, but there are pedestrians on the other side starting to cross the street. The question is, should I wait for him to cross the street? because he is far from me.thank you again, God bless you

I am curious about the expression you use at the end of your videos: "Pick the best answer, not necessarily the right answer". Is it applicable to driving only or do you tend to apply it in your daily life as well?

Passed my G Test today. Thanks for your video❤❤❤

When turning right into a 3 lane road, if there are cars coming in the two left lanes but not the right lane you're turning into can you still go or have to wait for all 3 lanes to be cleared?

can you make right turn on red from a center lane that normally goes straight across or left . There is also a short separate right turn curb lane .

I failed my first test by 1 point and my instructor told me I wasn’t Turning correctly at the red light, but after watching this video this is exactly what I did 🤦‍♂️

Great lessons.thanks

Very useful, thanks🙏

Beautiful video! I’ve failed my second test because I didn’t come to a complete stop behind the stop line 😔

This made me clear... thank u😊

The only thing that confuses me is who I need to watch out for when turning right. For example the light is red for me and the oncoming vehicles stop because they have a red, but how am I supposed to know the vehicles in front of me have a protected left?

While we turn right - how to determine if vehicle coming in that same lane has a Advanced green left arrow?

I really love watching your driving tips videos. They are very helpful. My road test is in two weeks, so I'm in the extreme practice mode right now, haha. I always dread right turns on red lights. Even though I'm a pretty good driver already, sometimes I fail with my timing on red light right turns. I see no cross traffic and think that no one comes from up front, but then as soon as I move into the intersection, the cars from the opposite side start turning left. I think my reaction time is still just quite slow, so I'm making sure I get lots of practice on these specifically. I'm in California, so I really don't know what it's like in Canada, but can you still choose not to make a right turn on red if you don't feel confident? Some KZfaq instructors say that it's completely okay to not turn if you don't feel you want to do it.

Thank you for this. I have a few questions though with regards to oncoming traffic: how do we know if the oncoming traffic has an advanced green? What if they do not indicate their intent to turn left? Also, with regards to through traffic, how to tell if their light turned red other than them stopping? What to do if they don't indicate? Thank you in advance.

So on the driver test your able to take the turn just stop look for cars and people move up if you can’t see the whole street and if clear but still red you can go?

i have my test on friday in california and the turn at 4:08 scares me because the law here is to go into the bike lane before dotted lines but i've heard that's unsafe for traffic if there's cars stopped in front of you. or you could clip the car on the left

watched this couple days ago, and take the test today. And I failed, instead of doing a full stop, I did a rolling stop on the red light. I thought it would be OK to do it since I'm turning right. I guess I'm wrong because that's what the examiner comment about me. Hopefully next time I'll got it right, and make sure not to forget it.

Turning right from a two lane road (two lane in each direction) onto another two lane road. I have a red light and to apposing traffic has an advanced green. Should I proceed into the right lane and assume the car with the advanced green will turn into the left lane or do I have to give the right of way to the traffic with the advanced green.

I live in Montréal, Québec. We can't turn right on the red light in Montréal so I'm not used to that. When I drive outside Montréal,some drivers will honk at me because I'm not turning right ! Lol.

Holy shit my test is in 2 hours!!!! Been up all night watching driving videos

Hi Rick!!! I passed!!!! Thank you for all those awesome videos!! I will continue to watch them!

thank you

How will I know if the across traffic has a green arrow? Thanks. All your videos are so helpful. More power to you.

One of my biggest struggles with right turns is I have a hard time figuring out how much I should turn the steering wheel to make sure the turn is executed properly so that I stay in my lane for the whole turn without crossing yellow lines or grazing the curb. Any tips for that?

Thank you so much for this video it helps a lot .

You are awesome!! Thank you!!.. I like the way you teaching... Your confidence...

Wow, thank you so much for making these videos! They've helped me a ton, and no doubt have helped many thousands of other people as well. If you have a sec, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts about making a left turn from a side road onto a main road (and across multiple lanes of traffic) vs. making a right turn followed by a subsequent U-turn. Given the often unpredictable and sometimes unsafe/illegal driving on the road from other drivers, coupled with busy traffic times -- do you think a right turn followed by a subsequent U-turn might be a safer/better option in some scenarios? Thanks! :)

I liked how he kept eye contact with the cyclist he didn't know what he was doing, good tip for safe driving

A friend of mine got a ticket for doing this. I live on the boarder of New York City and Long island. In NYC this is an illegal technique while in Long Island it is allowed. My friend was a block away from the boarder into the Long Island side and the cop didn't give him a break

Thank you very much.

Yes as some red light turns are not allowed as the view is obstructed I can not blindly follow other drivers as a sign says no turning on this red light

Where I live, there are a lot of signs that say no right turn on red. I have to look out for those.

Good instruction. Nearly had a guy hit me making a right turn at a red light (his red light), while I had the green left arrow. After he sped through his turn and ahead of me, he honked his horn and yelled out his window as to suggest that I should have yielded for him. I may just start making magnetic cards with websites on safe and correct driving laws/right of way and throw them at these bad drivers.

Hey, Rick! I often make the mistake of turning right on red as the cars on the opposite end of the intersection are turning left on an advanced green light. What's a good way of telling if their light is green to turn left before I make my right turn? Also, is it okay for me to choose not to turn right on red for any reason and just wait for the green?

I know that turning right on red or green is optional. I also know that you can turn right on red or green any time except when there’s a sign that says “no turn on red”. But before I watched this video I had a difficult time figuring out when a driver turning right has the right of way or driver turning left. Now I realize that a driver turning left has the right of way but only if they are in the advance green light and the driver turning right if the driver turning left is on a red light.

Hey sir! I’m not sure if you’re still able to answer my question but what if you’re going to turn right on a red but the other side of the intersection is making a left. Do we wait for all the cars that are on the other side of the intersection to turn left and then proceed or can we still turn at the same as them as long as we go in the first lane? Sorry if my question is a bit confusing I can’t really explain it well😅

Don't know why the Brits make such a big deal about Turning Right On Red. Although I'd say most of them never drove in US or Canada. Here in UK i wish we could do it on a left turn. Excellent video.

Can you explain how to yield on right turn yield islands in a commercial vehicle?? Let’s say it’s a red light and you are turning right in a semi on those yield islands. Do you completely stop behind the crosswalk until light turns green or do you stop and go up if you see no pedestrians??

Thanks good video!

Hi dear turning right on red light if some one is coming and crossing from other side or st where should I stop

Thanks for the video.Often , at right turns on red light , there is a car that is going straight ( on my left) and has pulled up far enough , obstructing my sight line . Therefore, I am under the notion that it is not safe to creep forward cause maybe there are pedestrians crossing the street. What would be the wise thing to do in that case?? Thank you in advance.

Hey Rick, could you please explain positioning when turning?. That part isn’t clear, I need thorough explanation of it. When do I start turning the steering wheel to execute this maneuver?. Please.

Thank you very much!

What if it is a wide lane can you sneak beside a stopped vehicle?

i have a question what if your both green light and the left turning vehicle who has the right of way?

I failed my test because I inched up to be able to see the intersection as the last car was moving and then I turned and the examiner said it’s illegal to inch up when there’s movement at an intersection in Massachusetts

You probably mentioned this and I missed it. But MUST you turn on a red light if there is the chance or is it ok to wait until a green light even if others honk at you? I'm a tourist driving in the US.

hey rick. does this also apply to a doghouse light when the only light that is on is the top red one and there are no signs saying one cannot make the turn?
