- Weekly Learning Point 62. This pupil wondered what it was like to go through a drive through, so I taught her. Spacial awareness as you drive is key.

I don't see why people are slating him for doing this on a lesson. Its something you do after you pass your test and you feel uncomfortable the first time doing it. If anything, it teaches the student a bit of control in some tight turns and a congestion. Fair play for doing this in a lesson
jack harrison coulda been the end of the lesson for all they know she might have been on the way home?
Yeah exactly! First time i went through a drive thru I was so scared 😂😂 and he's coaching her the whole time, its not like the lesson stops anyway
jack harrison g3
,
They should teach all girls about the mirror thing so that they don't have to half climb out of the window or open their door at ticket machines.
@@dgphi or tolls
The first time I went through a drive through I almost crashed. I wish my instructor did this with me, it’s good for teaching spacial awareness. As long as it was a one off I wouldn’t have minded.
Without being rude, if you've passed your tests and still manage to almost crash in a drive through then it is kinda worrying.
My first time was no problem. Even with my new large SUV I did perfectly fine
@urbex2007 it was the fact i was nervous and took it too fast. When i first passed nerves always used to rush over me and choke me up
@@w.e.s9711 ever heard of nerves?
@@josephmarsh8235 i do it fine now, it was just the once tbf
I refuelled the car on one of my lessons. It’s still learning and experience...
Chris Gough I had a breakdown on one of my lessons
Pete Smyth 😂
@@peter_smyth Did your instructor comfort you by giving you hug? Did he/she have a tissue at hand? Asking for a friend.
V - That one is fairly clearly criminal fraud. That's the real lesson :) Why it's worth getting the AA out to give even a banger the once-over tbh, the brakes could have failed when you really really needed them and you'd have been in the morgue.
Chris Gough wish I did this on mine. Had no idea what I was doing first time round.
My driving instructor got me going through the drive-thru on the day of my test. It was good practice for the hundreds of other times I’d be going through
Ahh. Sounds like a little bit of mind control going on there. Let me guess, they made you buy a coffee? The day of the driving test, one of the most nervous days of our lives! The trip to Mackies could be a calming method to settle the nerves. The coffee to increase the learner's awareness before their test.
This is a great example, in the sense that it’s probably the first place teenagers go when they learn to drive
Late reply but you aren't kidding, the same day I passed me and my sister went and got a McDonald's for dinner 😋
Teens?? Hell im 36 and first thing im doing when i collect my car after i pass my test is driving up the road, round and back down into maccy ds and getting my babies a happy meal lol! (They wont be with me tho lol!)
I'm 20 and have been driving for a year and I ain't done this once lmao
This should be part of the test 🤣. In all seriousness everyone should have instructed for drive-thrus and supermarkets
@@gamesmaster1060 it just hasn't occurred to me to go to a drive through, always prefer to park and sit at a table like a civilized person.
Driving around a fast food joint like McDs, should be on every instructors mind going through lessons, and such, usually it's slow precise driving and parking that ice seen a few people mess up badly...
Depends on the person.. It's mainly about knowing where you are putting the wheels of your car. I often find city traffic giving me troubles because i miss signs or being too late at presorting. Mac Donalds drivethrough and things like reversing on the mirrors is easy for me.
I think refuelling a car should be compulsory on lessons. Heck the instructors gonna have to do it anyway so just give the learner an extra 10 mins on their lesson
As for this video, fully acceptable
I agree, I didn't have a clue how to do it first time I had to get my mum to show me, also the way the handle clicks and goes off all the time it would make a newly passed driver think their doing something wrong with it.
I agree. I did this with my instructor and without it I wouldn’t have known what to do at a petrol station!
A decent instructor will do it. Luckily i have done petrol many times before for other people but not everyone has.
It took me 15 minutes to figure out how to unscrew my fuel filler cap the first time (had to put a key in, push inwards hard and twist). Felt like a right prat
@@ala0284 Wait, isn’t the gas tank just covered by smt soft and u just push the nozzle inside?
That's ideal that is mate. Get the learner to drive you for a coffee, order it for you and everything. Happy days. You don't even have to lift a finger.
Well, as you could hear at 2:16 it was actually really good idea to take the learner there:)
Mr.Mister IKR? My driving instructor never let me go to McDonald's
Mr.Mister
You’re a funny guy🤣😂. It’s good to learn tho😌
😂😂😂
And she was paying him to do it ahahaha
I use contactless even for small things. Everything gets categorised and I can see how all the spending is split with the card. And it’s quicker.
Same here. Every transaction, even a 70c maccas soft serve. I have had my card loaded on my phone for 7 years and tap and go is every where. My phone is always on me and in my car it in a mount so quick and easy at the drive through.
It's not like it costs me anything more and and I don't have to carry money or go to an ATM.
In 2021 everyone is using contactless for everything, almost no cash around at all!
Thinking about it, this is a really good lesson to teach. For some reason I was petrified when I first went to a drive through with all the tight turns and getting close to the windows and whatnot. Good skills.
It's a good idea, some of them are extremely tight. My driving instructor also took me to a petrol station to fill the car up which also makes a lot of sense.
Ive passed my test but still lack good knowlege on spatial awareness, and a drive thru should be one the first places i’ll be going so thank you for this video! I dont get why people are saying its a waste of a lesson, i would have loved for my instructor to have taught me this
I wish my driving instructor would do this with me lmao, I'd order a whole menu
I avoided going to the drive through for months after I passed my test, so going with my instructor would have helped a lot. On the other hand, I wish I still had a fear of the drive through, so I wouldn’t go there so bloody often.
2:53 Go right go right!! *one sugar* use your right mirror!
Made me lol :)
Valuable life skill, maccys drive thru!
I really enjoyed this video because you were slowly explaining carefully to the lady what to do. Beautifully done
Say what you like, but this is genuinely useful and is a situation which the majority of us will frequently find ourselves for years to come. I passed my test only last week, but I can already guarantee that I'll go through a McDonald's DriveThru 1000x more often in my life than I'll pull up on the right hand side of the road and reverse two car lengths.
I actually work at this Mcdonalds and I think it’s great instructors are teaching pupils this as when our drive thru is busy it can be very dangerous if you don’t know where to go/what to do no body really looks where they are going and I see lots of people going the wrong way down the one way 🙄
Such a good thing to teach your learner, I went through a drive through for the first time today and I was quite nervous so this is really good to teach a learner
My instructor used to take me in the drive-thru for a coffee. I used to ask are we parallel parking, and he'd say no - go through the drive-thru... I now know why! So I can learn spatial awareness.
He was the only instructor I liked as well. He clearly knew his stuff if he was also doing this!
I find cash far slower and more cumbersome. Contactless card payment are way better, especially for odd amounts.
sure, contactless is quicker but you're sat in a queue anyway so what's it matter (unless you're counting out pennies).
Disagree. You should use cash as much as possible. If I want a fiver, you can give it me there and then. No one knows about it. Works 100% of the time, quickly and without hindrance. Doesn't need anything other than the money to do it with. No faffing. Visa went down nationwide the other day and caused chaos. They want a cashless society. Ask yourself why. If you allow it, say goodbye to freedom and democracy. They know everything then, you surrender everything. If they don't want you to have money, they block you out of the system. Having faith in banks and government obviously show your innocence and your naivety.
Dude chill out its just a McDonald's drive through
I've had my card compromised twice, both times I suspect it was from using it at a drive through. Now I use cash or a gift card if I have one. Surprise, it hasn't been compromised since! I also put a sticker over the numbers except last 4, before I started paying all cash. One time the guy said something about it, it made me wonder if it was him taking down people's card info, cuz I saw him look at the back too.
Guys watch out, the IlLuMiNaTi is gonna steal your personal information when you use your card, grab your tinfoil hats quick!111!1!
My instructor never took me to maccies :(
Brilliant idea! Wish I had done something like this in my driving lessons. First time coming out of a carpark with a barrier I ended up nearly destroying the alloy on my new car. I was so busy trying to make sure I didn't hit the front wheels that I totally forgot about the back wheels 🙄
Honestly, Drive-thru's are a good lesson. Very tight spaces and tight turns. I was actually a bit nervous just after I passed my test about going into a drive-thru as my car is fairly wide and I didn't want to damage my wheels.
I learnt to drive back in 2003, passed first time in 2004 after A-Levels etc. During school holidays was when I did my driving lessons, which was in the outer NW London area. I remember my instructor took me to fill the car up on two occasions. A lot of driving habits through the years I refuse to cave in and do them. With using all lanes available at the merge, when other road users think "he's jumping the queue" I keep that with good practice all the way back since 2004. I owe my thanks to the instructors who teach their students well, and become safe drivers for the rest of their lives when they use the roads 🙌👍
This is actually a really good method of not only teaching learners clutch control and manoeuvring in really enclosed areas but its a practical skill seeing as so many of us use drivethrus on a regular basis. My instructor has brought me to a large and busy asda petrol station a couple of times to not only teach me how to use them but also to manoeuvre in tight areas. Good job 👍
I was trying to clean all that dust off my phone at the end there! Great video, keep them coming.
Also, providing the student learnt something valuable from this, then it's perfectly acceptable I say.
Probably not with your driving instructor but another interesting place to practice would be a multi storey car park. Some of those have crazy tight turns, curvy kerbs, steep ramps, ticket machines, barriers etc. It's all practice and confidence-building for going it alone once your test is passed.
Why not with your instructor? I've been asked and done it before :)
Even better with instructor yeah. I thought it was maybe a bit too unlikely with instructor as someone would have to pay at the barrier 😜
Good lesson.ive never done it before and never seen how to.do it on the car.thank you.
This reminded me of the 'pay on the way out' for car refuelling at my usual branch of ASDA. Works well, but sometimes they get it wrong and ask one to pay for the wrong car; worth noting which pump was used and how much etc.
Doing stuff like this is great for clutch control because you’re moving so slowly. I spent the first few weeks with my license being scared of drive thru (although clutch control is my strong point) because I was scared of stalling etc. It’s great practice, and let’s be honest - most young drivers first location is maccies 😂😂
This is amazing, one thing I always used to get nervous thinking about is going through a drive through and never had anything like this but this would’ve really helped me calm myself
Great to see this covered it can be daunting place, lots of cars and people etc. Good for spacial awareness and getting close to booths. I remember I, went across a roll bridge after passing my test. It was way out of reach of the booth lol.
This was a really useful video!! And I didn’t know that they take pictures of the car so they know who to give the orders to, I’m mind blown!!
This should be mandatory on all driving lessons and even the driving test!! Let’s be honest... everyone has a maccies drive thru 😂
Not really
In the north of scotland we have sod all
I wish my driving instructor made me go through. Took me months before I built up the courage to go through a drive thru!
I like the angled parking spaces @ 3:21.. great idea... I hope to see them more and more in UK.. I have not seen any in my area.... so they aren't "everywhere"... yet...
What do you mean? They're everywhere. I didn't have to learn bay parking when I was learning to drive because there were no straight bays near the test centre where I did my test.
I think this is a brilliant idea to include in a lesson, it’s an unusual driving situation that requires careful slow speed control and observation. You can then add a manoeuvre to go and bay park after, or even teach the student to refuel a car
Yh we have a screen with photos of each car from lane 1. ( The lane ashleys pupil used here ) if youre in lane 2 and there is a queue it is hard to tell which order is yours so we usually ask what your order was first on window 1.
Going through drive-thrus, multi storey car parks, petrol stations... anything awkward or difficult... should be taught, you arent just driving around once youve passed on a normal day, youre doing all sorts... this is great, i had to learn it myself... luckily i had a small car then :)
Yes, multi-story car parks especially so many people are frightened of them and many a wheel have been scuffed in them and many doors dinged.
Any road experience should be part of a lesson, i love that real life practical situations that your new learners will no doubt use are being taught beforehand and improved confidence to new drivers, could you do more like fuelling, waiting at a train crossing, car washes etc too please Ashley. (If you haven't already done them, still watching your videos, as i like to refresh myself from time to time)
My instructor used to take me to Tesco Sunday 10-11 in the morning for parking lessons.
What a great idea , I didn’t go to a Drive Thru for ages cause I was so nervous lol
Sounds like idle is a better speed to travel at during the wall riding?
Brilliant instructor, excellent driving points
I currently work for McDonalds and I can attest to the pictures. We get a picture of your car, on an angle that youre able to see the drivers face!
they ask you what you ordered and you say yes or no.
They ask for varification. Half the time, customers will say yes regardless of if it was actually what they ordered. I guess they don't listen.
Chelsey Customers are angry and impatient when they're hungry! I work in a cafe btw.
Marton Smith
HAHA🤣🤣😂
@@Davewithamullet McDonald's food is barrage of chemicals, ammonia, silicone oil, sulphates, propylene glycol (anti-freeze), carmine (crushed insects), anti-depressants, you can even find traces of petroleum in their food believe it or not. It's certainly not the animal you're tasting at McDonald's.
The Mc D's drive through is a right of passage once you pass your test!!
This a bloody good idea, I’m going to see if my instructor with do it with me. Plus you could see as they was going round the front of McDs someone had clouded one of the ballads. Lol
“Get a fucking life” best line I’ve heard about the customers we get. Class.
On the new 2020 driving test, drive thru section
Great...I learned from this(never been thro myself)...maybe will now...thnx
In my Control's lesson I teach that when the car is in gear one of the braking systems must be on. The example I his is the Mac Donald's drive through. If your foot slips off the clutch bang.
Its the little things like this that help. I'll be honest, I was nervous going through a car wash on my own xD, so I got my dad to come with me the first time haha.
this reminded me so much of my first driving lesson with my dad, going round a roundabout, i was doing fine until i looked over the front and thought i was gonna hit a curb then overreacted (just a little) and completely messed up my positioning for a moment, luckily there was no one else on the roundabout at the time and there was enough room for me to safely correct and complete my very wobbly manouver off of the roundabout haha
I think that this is a wonderful thing to do on a lesson. These basic every day things are what's important to learn before being on your provisional license. The point of driving instructors should be exactly what's displayed in this video, but too often they're simply teaching you to pass a test, not to be a good driver. My instructor never did this, or taught me how to refuel the car. She was solely focussed on me passing the test.
I live in Birmingham but willing to travel to Liverpool for a two hours session with you. I had bad luck with previous driving instructors to the extent that my theory test expired and need to repeat it.
Very helpful videos. Thanks
Check 1stdrive, he's in birmingham and I've heard great things about him. He also has a youtube channel so check that out. You might already have learnt or in the process. Nevertheless good luck.
Thank u i would love to try it as my first time wish i had u with me but i think i maybe able to do it after watching this a few times
“Get a fuc***g life” Best observation ever 😄
why do they have 2 lanes for ordering but 1 lane to pick up the food?
I use a similar technique with my left door mirror when garaging my car so it has its uses when space is restricted.
Going through busy drive throughs makes you a better driver.
Being able to smoothly drive at low speeds, in compact spaces, makes you deal with parking and heavy traffic better! Plus some of them have slight inclines so they help with controlled hill starts too.
Also... Food is pretty nice 😂
This is not a driving lesson, this is a driving life skills! Nice one mate, more driving instructors should do this.
This is the teen getting their learners permit and the DMV employee was just hungry. I wish this was a standard in the US.
They should do/teach things like these in driving schools more often (like putting in gas, drive-thru, car cleaning (y'know that high pressure manual booths, not sure what they are called in English).
I remember when I went first time to gas station in my first car and I had to ask stranger in another car to guide me because I had no prior knowledge and the petrol hose seemed stuck (and I didn't want to yank it and start a fire - better safe (and ask) than be sorry).
The washing booths are called jet washers in England.
I wish I could've done this with my instructor!
The real lesson here was the shared financial advice!😀👍
I always buy hot chocolates with my card, contactless is a god send
Liam Sheridan me 😂
Such a strange statement
Stupid. Another idiot sleep walking into 1984
You should use cash as much as possible. There is a lot of need for cash. If I want a fiver, you can give it me there and then. No one knows about it.

@@handsoffmycactus2958 I rather have cash private
Took me like 3 years after passing my test to go through a drivethrough was worried about hitting stuff.
Didn't know that about McDonald's drive through taking photos of the customers. I did always wonder how they matched orders to the drivers.
Near the end of my lessons my driving instructor got me to drive through a car wash, it's all part of the learning experience
Just remember one thing:
It doesn’t matter how well you navigated the drive through, if you order a Filet-O-Fish it’s an instant fail.
Lovely video mate
Weekly Learning Point 91- Dogging In St. Helen's.
When I went through McDonald's on my lesson my instructor bought me a drink lol
And how did that mesh with the instructions to always have both hands on the wheel?
@@HenryLoenwind one hand was what I was taught
@@HenryLoenwind i expect this to be an exception? as if you was required to do that a drive through wouldnt be legal in a way so.
@@PlinkyVR 2 years ago...let me try to remember why I wrote that...
I guess that "2 hand rule" was something either said in the video or repeated over and over in the comments. I was clearly trying to make a joke here.
@@HenryLoenwind damn dont have a filing cabinet for every comment you make and why? rookie commenter mistakes. if that was actually supposed to be a joke you made it look like a genuine question lets hope those 2 years has improved on that lmao
I wish I had watched this a few weeks back.
Thanks you mr ashley neal
0:44 "just a white coffee" It's funny the subtle differences in every day life living in another country presents. They get annoyed when you say that in Australia because they'll then have to ask if it's a cappuccino, flat white, or latte.
they also say orrange while ordering a drink... and wtf is that like club orrange ? orange fanta ? or orange juice?
Lindsay Gibson
not really. the only drink on the mc donalds menu that has coffee in its name is regular black or white coffee. if the customer wanted a latte or cappuccino they would have said that the first time.
SpookyKettle and I'm saying that isn't the case here. Anywhere I've been (not just Macca's) there's only a category called coffee and none of the items listed have coffee in the name.
A white coffee is accepted as any coffee with milk etc here. The only time you would ask for a white coffee is if you are after instant at a mate's.
Lindsay Gibson nah you say white coffee at McDonald's and they know exactly what you mean
Brandon l not where I live, that's my point.
I wish my instructor took me through a drive through 😭😂
Some real life teaching/learning with some coffee on top of it, class.
I never got to go through the maccy,s drive through on any of my lessons!
Personally, I think this is the most important lesson of them all! ;)
Think this is a great idea don’t know why other instructors don’t do stuff like this, never been to a drive thru yet and passed my test 3 months ago cause I’m too nervous 😂 think they should teach you how to fill up the car and stuff like that too cause I had no clue the first time I had to do it 😂
This is in my hometown!
Watching this in 2020, listening to you talking about not paying by card when Covid has made it so pretty much everything in on the card now.
Ashley...she was already going slow.
Love your channel.
Most essential journey
In this US the thumb nail looks so confusing. Then you got remember the steering wheel and the foot controls is put on the wrong side of the car so drive thrus at restaurants have to be built half arse backwards in the UK. Thanks Ashley for showing us how this done!
Maybe it's the other way around? Maybe you're backwards in the wrong side? :P
@@MinyaKinarNope cars were invented here in the States.
@@scottivlow9962 One, I was making a joke, and two, you've got that wrong. On January 29, 1886, Carl Benz applied for a patent for his “vehicle powered by a gas engine.” The patent - number 37435 - may be regarded as the birth certificate of the automobile. In July 1886 the newspapers reported on the first public outing of the three-wheeled Benz Patent Motor Car, model no. 1.
Henry Ford made the Model T in 1908, 22 years later than Carl Benz.
@@MinyaKinar And if you take that first (as well as several of his next models) as the measure everyone is getting it wrong now, as those first car mostly had the steering in the centre, even when they moved to 4 wheels.
I get my pupils to put petrol in the car and explain the dangers of miss fuelling. It always amazes me that very few know that there is a difference between diesel and petrol. I also extend their lesson time to make up for the time spent in the station. I like the look of horror on their faces when I tell them that as they put the petrol in they have to pay for it, so far no-one has.
Lol at indicating to go into the drive through when already in the carpark
Thanks man, now I know😁
lol my instructor would never have done something like that
i didnt find it difficult at all tho when i did it the first time but i guess when a pupil is insecure about it its a good lesson
0:39 as though she was going to scream her order through a closed window lol
I can't stop imagining someone who hasn't had this lesson going to a drive through for the first time screaming through the window lol
Since lockdown started I have used cash maybe once or twice. I’m just in the habit of using my card now.
Was just about to say that XD
I fold my driver's mirror in when I go to drive through I can get so close that they could almost slide the food onto my door lol.
Going through drive thru the first time I already was past my learner's permit and driving alone it was 10x harder than I thought between grabbing my money making my order all while moving through traffic. It felt like I was driving distracted only I was forced to do it.
kdmq job just i
I have never used a drive through. A lesson for the rare chance that I might in future.
Good idea. They do look intimidating with it being one way, tight, and potentially a queue of cars behind you. And we're probably a few years off having enough parents who have done this.
HAHAHAH, that me ! at 2:03 in the white minivan
Lol
A driving instructor that lets you go to McDonald's?! Where can I find this man?! I would've loved this!!
Did she scrape the mirror on the wall? it sounded like it.
Tyre on the kerb I think :)
It was the tyre.
It definitely sounded like a tyre scrubbing the kerb. Possibly a little bit of alloy on the kerb too.
Deffo tyre ok a wet curb
harrier331 It’s quite easy to scrape your wheels, best way is to drive slowly and carefully and follow the road
