Great instructions 👍🏿👍🏿

Regards a right hand turn for a bus on a single lane roundabout; what would be the best position to be in once you have turned right onto the roundabout? Is it better to follow near the outside left curb of the roundabout during this manoeuvre before the right turn?

Sir may I know how to judge the left and right side of the vehicle kindly make a video on that

I have my bus driving test tomorrow. Passed my reverse parking yesterday. Thanks for the tip

Thank you very much for this explanation 👍👍👍👍

Thank you for the explaination! Can be useful for me in 2 years time for me hopefully 🙏🏾

Thanks for your videos, It gave me many tips and techniques to pass my bus driving test. As I needed to work on mirrors, my forward planning and awareness. I did it. Many thanks 😂

thanks alot for this explanation

Hi Craig just letting you know after writing the comments to you below. I passed my test. so thnaks for all of your help and guidence. I do want to ask do you teach your drivers about Tachographes if so can you help me to learn how to use a Tacograph Pleass.

straddle or double steer

Tremendous stuff. Its a real benefit to listen to someone who knows bus driving and how to train learner drivers. Thank you Craig !

I really want to pay heartfelt thanks to Craig for his content. I wasn't put forward for a driving test at the end of my 25 hours of training with a national bus company. I experienced several of the instructor/student issues described in this video. Craig's content has helped give me the perspective and context to apply to another bus company to complete my bus driver training. So muchos gracias Craig, if karma is money you're a wealthy person.

Roundabout are sometimes a nightmare when people don’t signal or use wrong signal or people over speed.large Roundabouts should always be controlled by traffic lights.

Really valuable lessons. Thank you Craig !

I am a woman bus driver. On tight corner it is important to steer as slowly as possible and not to oversteer when you turn the bus from a side road into a main road, if there is no one coming from both sides you go as forward as you can possible then you steer but not too much and then you straighten, as well as this it is tricky at round abouts because when you go right you have to constantly avoid the hitting the round about just keep it steady but not too fast....generally it is easy to avoid kerbs if you also steer when your front wheels are past the turning point into the roads....tips are always welcome

Hello Craig I have my practical driving test tomorrow morning any hints and tips for me

You’ve got a great way of delivering information, looking forward to watching more of your content! I’m starting my training as a PCV driver for national Express soon, my long term aim is to be a PCV instructor.

Craig, just been watching your video on the driving line. You say you may need to signal if going overhead white line in the middle of the road. Do you need to indicate every time you cross the white line? Where is this written down?

Thank you🫡

I have my module 3 and practical test this friday and this has helped a lot. Thanks

czcams.com/video/pzHA2PKOFLs/video.htmlsi=Xn9u-D9dn16FdD9f Please watch this video as well to understand how you steer.

Nice vedios thanks for you your help with the bus driving lesson

Thank you very much, your teaching and advice and tips are superb! I did public bus training twice at 2 different companies in Sydney, Australia and want to be prepared as best as possible if I can return to driving buses again. It's also good to consider professional driving as an art according to the way you describe it, not just something where you learn a series of facts from a list, but something where you have to think all the time about what you are doing and all the possible implications and the precautions you must take while driving the bus to ensure the safety of your bus and other road users and pedestrians too. Thanks

Nice lesson thanks

Just passed the exams for Dublin bus. Looking forward to take my bus on the road. Definitely I’ve learned a lot. To respect pedestrians, cyclists, bikers….traffic lights. Thx pal

I'm learning to drive a bus but am struggling with over stearing and kirbs. I'm not being told what I'm doing well just what I'm doing wrong or not bas well as I could be.

I was told to put gas before I learned and get used to swin and swing ... 😢sorry I may be dumb new bee but I'm not driving fast 9.5m bus between mad cyclists and pedestrians when I dont have basic training of narrow roads techniques...too bad for not listening ,not going faster, too slow . I mean my fist 6 of 7 hours toke place at night rain in busy London ... no explanations and only "stear more to the right ,stear left "... what i learn from instructions when im shaking around cars and pedestrians ...when after every curb must be explanation what we doing... and taking time to observe mirrors, somewhere were curbs are real and no other trafic. I had that proper training with cat C in EU . In UK i see how they create dangerouse drivers by teaching them speedy turns before they mastered the technique. Ones they bumb into new situation different situation ...they dont know what to do ... i dont want license with skills like that ... My nearside movement strugle and i never had slow motion adaptation. I can listen and do it ,but im aware one day in situation that seems similar as training turns, but actualy isnt... i will pay the price for fake understanding and not proper basic preparation. To master techniques in vehicle speed must be very slow and that speeding slowly ... it may take 2,4 h for technique only but then, another 2,4 h for application on the road.15 h you only master top skils in traffic ,but if first 5 6 are proper you may need 8/10 only . Here they telling you "go turn, gas,more gas".. and do all half way, no matter but 8h you must looks like you know how to drive ... Looks like *** speed and stearing make difference in the angle and that skill you can learn by practicing from lowest speed by building up speed day by day ...not for fixed paper work standarts...when i see my budies with 30,40h before the exam passing road work closure and instructor correcting them ... i know they look good ,they may get cat D ,but they are not safe and 30,40h been wasted. Im going back to europe to learn and to work ... safety come first...giving up with 7.5h-1 h reverse , motorway 1h, 1h circling the garage , 3h around the shoping center in 5 fragments of driving ... and hour imaginary that I dont remeber...pushed to speed up ,speed up ...

You should be constantly checking your positioning and mirrors before you even reach the junction, retired bus/coach driver of over 40yrs. When I was taught we sat over the front wheels, our instructors instilled in us the importance of your mirrors. Good luck to you in your career choice, I absolutely loved it especially the coach driving part.

Many thanks for your teachings ❤

Wow.

Would be first class if i didn't have hear the person using the camera chewing gum, I have misophonia, sounds petty but selective sound sensitivity syndrome is a condition 😂

Very informative 👏 How about make a video or a few videos showing step by step how to become a bus company bus instructor?

which garage are you based at please

Great Footage

Thank you

Hi Craig love the videos do you teach privately and if you could make more videos on driving the bus please thanks
