It’s pretty easy, if you leave space for a car door to suddenly open if someone opens their car door suddenly you won’t hit it.

The speed road markings regularly don't match the speed signs in Wales, well my area at least. Quite a few that show 30 on the road, and 20 on the sign

Highly useful and valuable lessons! Thank you so much for helping us learn driving!

This is my problem

Excellent driving skills, thank you ❤

Perfect 👌 Thank you so much… one of the easiest methods 🫡

great video this ty

Thank you so much 👍👏👏👏

the presenter is talking to the camera for the first couple of minutes , but there is no sound until the driving starts !

Yes indeed ; I saw two TSRM ( traffic signs and road marking ) offences where both the car and the motorcycle failed to obey the mandatory KEEP LEFT signs on the central islands ; the car may also have been speeding as well as driving without due care and attention , but the motorcyclist most certainly was speeding , given the indicated speed of the overtaken vehicle on the dash cam . Both the driver and rider put themselves in danger as they passed close to junctions on the right ; and even though emerging traffic still has a duty to check both ways , they would have been primarily at fault in any collision . it should always be remembered that , notwithstanding the islands and KEEP LEFT signage , that emergency vehicles can still pass to the right of these if the road is blocked on the left , although normally they would be on blue lights and sirens as well as proceeding with extreme caution . Always expect the unexpected . Fortunately the car in the first road on the right did appear to look both ways before emerging .

Nice drive . I first did commentary driving when I did my advanced courses with the police several decades ago ( late 1970s ) . Below is one I did for one of my car clubs a few years ago to illustrate what it's about . I'll see if I still have any emergency response runs as well . czcams.com/video/5GE9n5GIb44/video.htmlsi=D2iVMoWcNde5NeZN Here's one of my colleagues on a training run ; I'm in the passenger seat filming this czcams.com/video/BndT_1_liaE/video.htmlsi=O0OpaR8RBB2pLm6_ Alas no commentary on that one , but it does show response driving from an emergency drivers' point of view . I will see if I can find one with commentary .

Just come upon your channel and this is my first comment. One thing you seem to be doing is staying in low gears when it looks like you could be changing to a higher one. It looked like you stayed in 3rd when it was a 40 mph zone, I have noticed this from other driving instructors videos. I would like to know your thoughts on fuel economy. My car gives an indication of when to change gear, I appreciate this is only an indication but I mostly change anyway. I could be in 4th in a 30mph zone and still being within the speed limit.

You have a passenger with either a morse code machine or they have loose false teeth!

This is hard

“Don’t be afraid of stopping” …unless you have a car behind you with better windshield wipers.

'"You can't hit anything if you're not moving!" No, but some daft tw@t can ram straight into the back of you! A good friend had her neck broken because of this.

Life Skills Driving School. Can you speak a bit quicker and with more background noise?

You could take content like this to the next level if you get a (cheap) drone or another way to get a camera high up, and show these situations from above. Then try to find an empty parking lot, and with some chalk or cones you can reconstruct the situations. Then finish it off with a commentary :D

In Europe hand break officially is just option on trafic lights and even ,nit recomended option ...I talk about manual cars . Buses must stop with hand break, again that is completely different vehicle. But yea no hand break on trafic lights and neutral is the instructions , with going on first gear wen yellow line go on

You have a funny way of labelling every thing ahead of you `pedestrian on the right, car on the left…’ i consider it an intelligent move as it can help one focus and plan ahead. Welldone!

I did commentey driving on my test . Passed with 2 minors . No mirror faults

Please kindly show other menovers like this way for beginners. Tnx u

@beatriceng4923 0 秒前 I am preparing my G2 test(Toronto)!!! Turn the steering wheel fully to the right & drive until I see the corner of the parking lot in the side view mirror --> I want to ask✏ 1) When I see the corner of the parking lot in my side view mirror, and then I need to straight the steering wheel before next step (reverse), right??! 2) My foot should fully step on the brake or lightly step on it when straightening the steering wheel?

It's very confusing that the camera pointing to the driver is mirrored.

very useful, thanks.

I wonder how are there are not many likes and views on your channel. I appriciate the work - very straight forward and to the point guidance. Thanks for sharing. :)

No.

ugly houses no cycle paths

driving on the wrong side of the road must be in another that's about all that there is to see

No

There is no crosswalk, as sign is saying, if I am not mistaking?

There can be cars pulling out from the properties on the left hand side. Or that it can come cyclists from the small road (the road that blocks the vision for the driver) on the left side that doesn't check before going into the road (the road on 0:10). Or my last thought can be that there comes kids running out from one of the properties onto the road.

Didn’t slow down for school zone

Im not from UK so no clue, but I did felt the car was very close to the curb at 0:33

driving on the wrong side /s

6 was harsh, because they made efforts to avoid it. 7 was not fair, the cyclist ran their ran and the person following should have increased their following distance.

7 feels really harsh. If you pause at 3:09 and look to the right you can see the red light for the cyclist which they clearly ignored...which unfortunately caused them to fail!

Im sorry but how do you fail these when i see people with licenses who cant even drive an R/C car

For fall 4 , the driver behind needed to fail their license as he/she didn’t clearly maintain the distance needed. This is ridiculous.

Fail no. 7 a bit harsh, the cyclist wasn’t visible until the very last second and that car was following incredibly close behind, no 2 second gap. So you’re choices are hit the cyclist or brake hard and let tge car behind you crash into the back of you?? Not sure about that one…

For number 4 how's has he not shown lane discipline or for number 8 the other car gave way because the driver got there first I'm confused on that one

Watching your video made me have learned more than any of my driving lessons! Really appreciate it and I will do commentary driving from now on. A small question: At 19:32, could it be changing two lanes in one signal? Or have I missed something? Cheers

Thank you to those who have commented. The camera positions sadly don't give a true reflection of the front of the car and although it may look like the driver crossed the stop line, in fact, they didn't. To those who mentioned the change of lane. FULL MARKS! That is exactly where the serious fault originated. The driver did change lanes (mainly down to the poor visibility of the lane markings) but DID NOT check it was safe to do so hence the failure. Thanks for engaging with these videos. I'll definitely post more

i'd give 2 serious faults for this. Stopping over the line at the lights and moving lanes to the right on the roundabout, that would either go as use of mirrors change direction if they didn't look in the right mirror as they did it, or response to road markings.

The lane markings, although very faded, indicate left lane traffic should remain left, and not all of a sudden switch to the middle lane as this person did. Watch it back closely and you can just about see the lane markings. Unfortunately for the learner, it's not 100% clear from the road markings, but my take on it would simply be I'm in an inside lane, therefore I should continue on travelling in an inside lane.

yeah he stopped over the line waiting for the light

Although is that a fail??

Did not keep left.

Looks like they were caught in the so-called “dilemma zone” (in DfT manuals about road markings etc) in the first few seconds. Bearing in mind the location of cameras like that, it looked like it was a last minute sharp stop with it being stopped past the line.
