  • In this video I am going to explain how applying a strict and rigid interpretation of the rules of the road is not always the best policy. Sometimes a bit of flexibility is required and this needs to be done in the context of judging each situation individually and on its own merits. In this video I will show you what that means and in doing so I'll be talking about driving in the rain, road positioning and also crossing the solid white line in the middle of the road.

    Thanks so much!! I’m back to relearning after 4 years of not driving and you have helped so much!! It’s a bit of a simpleton question but, when you’re breaking at different speeds such as high speed, or else being stuck in traffic in town, does it matter if you’re pressing clutch first and then break? Or break first and then clutch? Thanks for the help!

    • @DaneTygheletsdrive
      @DaneTygheletsdrive  Před 3 lety +5

      It's normally brake first then clutch as this gives you more control and helps you to avoid coasting, this video will explain :

    • @DaneTygheletsdrive
      @DaneTygheletsdrive  Před 3 lety +2

      In that case I'd say that you need to turn a bit more, either that or you are turning too slow. All corners are different and you may need to steer quicker on shaper corners.

    Hi Dane,
    Do you have to go into neutral every time you stop at lights etc? I rarely do so just wondering if I’d get marked on this.
    Thank you!

    • @DaneTygheletsdrive
      @DaneTygheletsdrive  Před 3 lety +4

      No you don't, I never advised anyone that. You can wait in neutral if you are further back in the queue but wait in first if at or near the top of the queue.

      If you do that in a test you will lose marks and potentially fail. Don't take it upon yourself to enact sweeping generalised rules because you need to judge each road individually based on the conditions you have to deal with. If I was a tester and I saw someone behaving in this way I'd fail them.

      No. You're not listening to what I'm saying. As an instructor I advise and help people to judge each situation individually and stop looking for simple yes no answers. So I would encourage you to just focus on the individual road and make a judgement on speed based on how busy it is, how wide the road is and what kind of visibility you have. At the same time bear in mind the speed limit. If you do this instead of searching for some shortcut black and white answer then you will be a better driver.
