I find that having a fear of something is a lack of understanding on the subject. I used to be scared of clowns until I found out it was just some guy dressed in a suit. The clown face still unnerves me but having this understanding helps me to rationalise it. Keep studying melward! It's the path out of the darkness of fear. Amazing video !!!

I watched Domas on the roundabouts video and it doesn't surprise me in the least to hear that he passed his test. There was a calm confidence to his driving and he absorbs information quickly and accurately. Out of curiosity, what method does everyone use to judge the offset on their speedometer? Over the years I've used a stand-alone sat-nav, two mobile phones and a GPS-equipped dashcam that have all agreed with each other. So I treat any GPS as the gold standard, and that puts my current car's speedo at 2-3mph high between 30 and 70. But of course the GPS aren't truly calibrated either, or at least not in any way that's traceable by the end user. Short of being clocked by the police using a calibrated gun, what's the best method? Maybe do constant speed point-to-point on a straight road and time it? Big error bars there though. (In the 1970s and 1980s my father used to claim authoritatively that "all speedos read high by 5%" but I've no idea where that figure came from. Bloke down the pub, probably, which is what we used before Google.)

Thank you so much, Richard. This motorway lessons through a new learner on the driver's seat rewarded me a lot of the reality varied from the veterans as you of the demonstration previously released, especially Domas was honestly showing how he tried with efforts to keep the vehicle sticked to the center while floating to one side was happening from time to time. The reminders with easy-to-catch phrases, such as "the water the air…“ or " breathing space…", as well as your analysis right on the spot as the vehicles on dynamics are so much helpful for me to scan the road collecting useful information for me to interact with all the rest of the vehicles related to my moving vehicles, instead of simple rules and principles . Anyway, I appreciate of your talkative attitude to share us your observations, analysis and hints❤ Thanks a lot, Domas🌻

I will typically check my blind spot during most motorway lane changes other than when overtaking lorries and large vehicles, and when it's blatantly obvious there's nothing in my vicinity. Cars can hide behind b- and c-pillars, and if you don't have good visibility or blind spot mirrors, you might not spot them unless you check over your shoulder - especially if they're keeping pace with (or undertaking) you. This is often the case in speed control areas like the A14-M11 crossover when most drivers are doing approx. 70mph with only minor speed differences.

Put the revs up to 7000 and jerked us forwards for a split second until I stamped on the accelerator. I'm just grateful it wasn't into 1st. My instructor just laughed at me when I was apologising.

Hi, it is legal in Scotland according to the .GOV web site. Worried about slip roads? Speed is your friend! Quickly get up to the same speed as vehicles on the motorway - that is what the slip road is there for. Signal right, use your mirrors, look a little to the right and aim for a gap in the traffic, speed up or slow down as necessary. What you do not want to do is finish up stopped at the end of the slip road which is probably what is worrying you. You need to be assertive, not aggressive. If you have to wait until you have passed the practical test then take an experienced driver with you in the front passenger seat for the first few motorway merges and listen and follow what they say. The really BIG mistake is driving too slowly. Match speed with a gap!

Ahh super short merging lines, it’s like merging on the BQE in NYC, as well as extremely curved exit ramps that go from 55mph to 20mph or even 15mph in no time. You really have to start slowing down as soon as you’re in the exit lane, waaaay ahead of the ramp.

The part when settling of from the layby . I would also make sure anyone in lane 1 has the opportunity to use lane 2 saftey. Also if driving and if see someone needing to set off from a laybye use lane 2 if you can to reduce risk. Never think its the person pulling out has to make safe. It is everyones responsibility. Really nice driving in horrible conditions

@CrazyInWeston 5 ай бұрын

No, its YOUR responsibility setting off from a lay by into lane 1. Not anyone elses. Its YOU to judge the gap and to get up to speed, not anyone behind seeing you make a manouvre of setting off and changing lanes to help you. Everything is on YOU. The same applies when merging from a slip road to the Motorway (Even a Dual Carriageway if its a GSJ (Grade Separated Junction). The fact most drivers see the hazards and move over to help you join is actually a gesture. There is no law requirement for them to do so. If you pull out and have a collision because the other driver didnt change lanes it would be 100% your fault.

@wrightwoodwork 5 ай бұрын

@CrazyInWeston you are obviously a poor driver . I suggest handing in your licence in. Yes you have a responsibility to make sure its safe, but you also have a responsibility to make safe for others and if that means moving over to make safe do it. You are obviously a selfish twat on the road

If you have any dual carriageway near you say like Edinburgh bypass it will give you most of the skills of slip roads and roundabouts. That will give you the skills for motorway driving minus the 3rd . Getting on is the hardest part. Dealing with the extra lane isn't that hard as long as you have good awareness and checking mirrors you are fine

Motorways are easier than dual carriageways. Motorways do not have roundabouts (before some say they do, they dont, like m32/m4, its shaped like one, but isnt) Motorways dont have pedestrians walking alongside on a footpath. Motorways dont have houses and driveways adjacent to the road. Motorways dont have cross traffic junctions. Motorways dont have cyclists on the road. Dual carriageways can have all of the above!

are you allowed to use cruise control on a UK driving test? Wasn't sure if you were allowed or not?

You can use driver aids on the test - it's just not something you'd be explicitly tested on

After 28:58 "Don't lean on the tyres too much" - what does this mean and why?

@user-mv5zt8qd9l 5 ай бұрын

Don't corner so quick that you can feel the car pulling sideways - that puts excess strain on the tyres and can even put you at risk of losing control of the car completely in poorer conditions.

What user-mv5zt8qd9l has said. The more you feel you're leaning in the car, the more you're asking from the tyres and there is only so much they can do.
