😎🤣

Drivers who live in Rural areas yes.. Urban areas not so much

@elitedriving99 Understandable, but I passed my test in 1986 and despite a lot of changes to road layouts etc and new legislations for road users, sign posts and junction rules are largely unchanged since the highway code was introduced on 1931. So people who live in cities🚊and towns 🚘 read of the same hymn sheet as the country bumpkins 🚜

Knowledge vs Familiarity

Possibly this one.. Good Luck with your test 👍

Seconded

I avoid bus lanes like the plague lots have cameras not worth the risk

@@adriancarter825 I do the same.

To be honest, the sign isn’t clear to me either. But i'm just a tourist 😅.

The sign only mentions times, which might lead one to assume those are the ‘valid’ hours for driving in that lane. However, it should also include a red sign indicating that driving during those hours is not allowed. In our context, blue signs provide information or advice, while red signs indicate restrictions that must be followed.

I mean, personally, I'd prefer their observation skills were directed towards the road over scanning for signs

Utter rubbish. The photographs are ALWAYS date and time stamped. If they are not, you can challenge the bus lane ticket in Court. The reason people don't enter the bus lane is not for the reason you stated, it is because they have not noticed and read the restriction sign for the bus lane, so they automatically think it is a 24 hour bus lane and cannot enter it at all.

It's not utter rubbish..it happened to me when there was no time date stamp on the photo they sent me...just on the letter of offence. It might have been possible to challenge it in court on the basis that there was no time stamp on the photo, but who can afford to win in court and avoid a 100 fine, when you have to take the whole day of work, sometimes more than once to attend court? Also, how do you prove that it wasn't at the actual time that they claim it was? It's almost impossible to prove a negative. Hence, it's safer to always stay out of bus lanes, even if it means queuing....they can't photo you in it at allegedly the wrong time, if you are never actually in it. Finally, with the best will in the world to use them, you often don't have enough time to safely and fully read all of the valid permitted use times, that are found on the bus lane signs, as you drive by them. If you get it wrong, you're screwed. So why take that risk unless you have previous local knowledge of the permitted times. Remember, they refused an appeal on a bus lane fine by a car driver that temporarily pulled into the bus lane just to let an ambulance on blue lights get by! They don't care as long as they get the fine funds!

Only if the tines are listed, The times below the bus lane sign Show the times where the bus lane is active. You can not drive in an active bus lane. If no times are listed then it is a 24h bus lane which you can not drive in at any time. Time may also vary from place to place so make sure to read the times before using the bus lane

Nonsense. It is locally dependent on the traffic situation in the town/city. As it should be. Why not make it adaptable ? Surely that is a far better way to use the lane?

Of course he does! He cannot suggest people enter the bus lane during prohibited times, and definitely not when there are bus lane cameras present!

@smoko7113 very true 👍

It is indeed illegal, Motorways & Dual Carriageways 👌

@sel6078 Glad you found it helpful 👍 😊

@@JaveyEL6369 it's certainly more difficult to get your full licence nowadays

Thanks, glad you found it helpful 😊 I have done 4 videos on Bolton Test Routes & they are all possibilities for your test at 1.35, so give them a look 👍👍

@@elitedriving99 I passed today with 2 minors I’m really pleased & just wanted to say a massive thank you to you for your brilliant videos, honestly thank you 🙏

@Oscardfw12 that's amazing, very, very well done 👏 👏 And thank you, if my videos helped in some small way then that's great 👍 😊

@@Oscardfw12which test was this x

@@zara2500 it was the Darcy Lever route, I’d never been down there but it was fine tbh, didn’t encounter any problems, this a likely route they’re starting to use though, so try practice it with your instructor, just in case it is this route. I’ll attach the test route video for you: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pq5-fauIy7XDeZ8.htmlsi=ggVE8fjtp_8092q0

Good question 👍 Undue hesitation faults include waiting when the space was sufficient, waiting when it's clearly your priority or an accumulation of both potentially. Ultimately it's down to the Examiner's discretion 👌

@@adamscraig88 100% agree with everything you said, dropping to 30mph before the exit road is potentially very dangerous

@daveyjones1970 Different Instructor's will advise differently in these situations, it's all about opinions.. but I agree with yours mate 👍

I concur

@@johnknott6539 👏👏👍👍

Agreed 👍

And then you risk getting rear-ended by the car behind who expects you to proceed… So many people nowadays stopping at roundabouts unnecessarily, which completely negates the point of the roundabout in first place. They are “Give Way” not “Stop” lines; by all means drive defensively, but don’t blindly stop at roundabouts if you clearly have priority/right of way.

I would trust the other cars indicator (or lack of) as the majority of cars do indicate correctly.. just make a final glance just before entering the roundabout to make sure, as some indicate late & some like you said don't indicate at all 👌

100% agreed, great points 👍

Indeed it is 👍 Glad you found it helpful 👍

Apologies I don't have capacity to accept your request unfortunately 😕

Exactly that, just hold back & see how the situation plays out 👌

He does later in the video, just not before he rode onto the road off the pavement imo

Indicating doesn't give you the right to cut in front of other cars & make them slow down, this driver was in the incorrect lane at the traffic lights due to poor planning

As you just stated, 3 'minors' in the same category is not necessarily a fail.. & yeh hesitancy in new drivers, particularly on a test, is completely understandable & will pass as your experience & confidence will grow over time 👍 Congratulations 👏👏👍👍

I've studied it countless times, I can't see one imo!! 100% agreed that he shouldn't be on the pavement in the first place though 👍

Usually at least once, possibly twice.. it's all down to the Examiners' discretion

It's between Kearsley & Stoneclough this route 👌

Thanks, glad you found it useful 👍 And tell me about it!!

@elitedriving99 I've been a trucker for years, and some of the drivers look.like they got their licences out of a Kellogs packet

@@user-ep6md1ss5j a lot drive like they won their licence in a raffle!!

Probably not this one.. I would say a route that avoids most major roads if your test is still in school term times

I know!!
