- Just because you can legally drive fast doesn’t always mean you should! This driving tutorial focuses on a way to accurately judge your speed and gear before entering a corner or bend. Used by Emergency Services and all Advanced Drivers, Limit Point Analysis will give you a method of keeping you much safer on rural roads, or anywhere where the limit of your vision is reduced!

Amazing video, as an emergency response driver I love it when people call it a “hump back bridge” it’s been deemed a northern thing. A lot of people don’t actually know it’s called a hump bridge
Thank you for setting me straight with that! 🙏😆
Great video. Well explained in an uncomplicated sort of way.
Very helpful. Thank you 👌👍
Brilliant, explained that very clearly, thanks 😊
Awwww thanks for the feedback, Rudi. Very much appreciated 🙏
Nice one Paul. Good info & explanation. I know this is about limit points in the topographical sense, but it might be useful as an add to mention that the LP (the distance which we can to be clear and the need too be able to stop under control on the correct side of the road within that distance) also includes the rear of any vehicle in front. :)
Many drivers and in particular motorcyclists fail to give that safe distance around abend. The limit point maybe say some 120 ft. ahead and that relates to the stopping distance in the H.C. for a car travelling at 40 mph but if you have a car in front of you and you are only some 60 ft behind it than that car is now your limit point and if driving at that speed of 40 mph you are committing the offence of Tailgating ie. as said 'not being able to stop in the distance that you can see to be clear and on your side of the road if that vehicle in front does an emergency stop or comes to a complete and immediate and unexpected halt.
Further to that the H. C. list of speeds and stopping distances relates to only cars and light vans. The H.C does say that motorcyclists and HGV's take longer to stop in. Also its says that those stopping distances are on a straight, level and dry road, so if one is going round a corner or bend in the road say on a motorcycles and you are leant over you are no longer on a straight road and with your braking and steering ability already compromised by your speed and lean angle if you had to brake to avoid something it would take a hell of a lot longer distance than that stated in the paragraph above of stopping in 120 ft at 40 mph it would probably take some 50% more distance before you came to a halt.
Bear that in mind when riding on a motorcycle. or following one or being followed by one on our country roads and round bends.
Brilliant.
Thank you Jill 🙌👍
On a left hand bend the limit point is actually closer to you than it looks. That is because your vision is looking at where the two verges meet and that distance seen could include kerbs and verges or other greenery but is also includes a part of the road that is of no use to you as its on the other side of the mid line. Then if I remind you that the golden rule is 'always to drive at a speed so that you you can stop in the distance seen to be clear and ON YOUR SIDE OF THE ROAD,'. So that limit point of a left hand bend also includes some roadway etc. over that white line which you cannot use for stopping in. So as your limit point is now only to the the mid line, as far as you can see there may be some 20 or 40 ft. or more of further vision on the wrong side of the road.
So on left hand bends take that into account and dismiss that part of any road as being of no value. and slow accordingly. Maybe dropping some 5 to 10 mph depending on how much useless road there is visible on the other side of the road.
Big PS.we don't have to drive up to the speed limit of the road. That is a fallacy. Take your own speed, one that you are happy with and one that can keep up with traffic, providing a safer following distance at all times by applying the minimum of the 2 second rule ok. So often I see drivers and riders ride right up at the legal speed limit and all that happens is that they end up behind a slightly slower moving vehicle and what always happens then is a need to overtaking. Overtaking everything they come up behind. If they just slowed by a few mph they would not catch up with as many vehicles and therefore no need to overtake as often. We know overtaking is one of the most dangerous situations or manoeuvres on our roads today. Together with the taking of bends they are a big danger so do it right. If all traffic is doing 50 or 55 on a 60 speed limit you are just asking for trouble. More trouble that it is worth so slow down a little. take it easier. braking is easier, acceleration is reduced and it takes less distance to brake in. Wear and tear on your brakes, gears, tyres etc. is reduced and you mpg will increase.
You will also be a safer driver or rider.
do we have to check mirror before we slow down on the bend?
Absolutely 👍 💯
We should actually lose our speed or slow down prior to he bend itself. If we leave it at the last minute we could be on the bend and braking hard and also steering and that is never recommended. As is changing gear round a bend we should be at the right speed and in the right gear to take the bend completely. We look in our mirrors and on a biker should also look around for anything closer to us in our blind spots and then if all clear or if being followed we slow by braking and showing our brakes to inform others that we are actually slowing and all that before we actually turn into the bend. Achieve your safe speed round the bend at the beginning and follow your limit point throughout at a steady but constant throttle and then after the apex when the bend has straightened out and we can see the road ahead being now straight do we accelerate to whatever legal and safe speed you want.
Too many drivers are lazy and will enter a bend braking too late and too hard to lose speed and then accelerate far too soon out of one. That pushes and pulls the semi liquid tarmac and puts a strain on the roads elastic surface and causes greater damage to it in terms of evenness, wear and tear. That poor and reckless driving helps to creating pot holes and or the breaking up of the roads surface tarmac and loss of aggregates. That makes it a greater problem and danger for all two wheeled, single tracked vehicles as they are on a bend leant over and that surface of the bend is damaged by cars, vans and HGV drivers taking the bends all wrong. All drivers should think of what they are doing and understand the consequences of their actions. Unfortunately many don't,
One must remember that the road is to be used of all of us and not just for them.
