No but why is this literally me. I’m currently taking lessons and have a test booked for January. However I don’t feel confident parking or approaching roundabout because sometimes I just don’t know when it’s clear to go. Other times it can be a tight gap that I need to go through or stop to let a car go by and then go but I keep driving. I feel that I should stop but I don’t physically do nothing about it and my driving instructor gets mad at me. What should I do about this because it feels like I just freeze and don’t know what to do in the situation which is obviously dangerous?
@@shopkinsisland6560talk to your instructor about this, they are there to help you pass your test. If you are learning with family members try and get as much practice done as possible. If you don't feel comfortable, you can try and move your test back, it's better to wait a little while and pass the test than fail. As for approaching roundabouts, as you come to the roundabout, slow down nice and early and approach at about 10-15 mph, this should give you enough time to scan the roundabout and see if it's clear or not. I hope this helps and you pass your test
Never in my life will I want to do a driving test in the UK, the amount of mirror and blind spot checks at certain times is absurd, I can't think of a single situation where this would've made a difference, it's not like you are blind until starting to park, you can assess the situation beforehand
UK driving tests are super easy though, I passed first time after 24, 1/hr driving lessons. Checking my blindspots never helped learning to drive and passing my test but it's stopped me from being hit by reckless drivers in certain situations plenty of times. UK driving tests have their main focus on spotting dangers around you and perceiving hazards before they happen. Not that your dangerous but that you should always perceive others as dangerous. Still though there's plenty of terrible drivers on UK roads. Until we have driving licenses have 20year renewals, bad drivers are here to stay

@@jordancave3089in some countries like germany for example, but I'm pretty surw also the UK, you aren't even allowed to do the actual driving test right after you passed the first test. You have to do a certain amount of driving lessons and then you can do it. But often people need more than this amount to pass the test, so they do more.
Not really, if you are lining the car up smoothly and are happy that you have added the right amount of steer then the car will continue on the right trajectory
It’s different when you’re reversing. There’s a lot to watch when reversing into a parking spot. You have to check your side mirrors to make sure you’re lined up, the back window to know when to stop, and just checking for hazards all around. Plus Erin was going at a pretty slow speed.
Those parking spots are so narrow! But I understand this is the uk they’re in. I’m Canadian which means we like trucks here. I used to own one and back up parking was the only way I always parked. It’s the easiest for me than just to pull in forward.
I'm not a fan of this method, I think once you pass your test you'll struggle (for example if you have a car following you closely in a crowded car park). The 45 degree method let's you block your bay before then reversing into it.
I completely agree with you. Everyone I’ve seen doing a reverse park into a car park spot in Aus does it that way but then again I was never taught how to actually do one and just learnt myself when I got my P’s since the instructor never bothered to teach it since it’s never tested on the driving test.
I am literally learning how to park from these videos. In my country the standard of driving is incredibly low E.G we spend 22 hours in lessons in preparation for the test and then take a 3 part test with no theory that takes around 10 minutes. You drive out the practice compound, up the road and do a u turn and then back into the compound and do a extremely unusual reverse park which you can’t do in any other scenario or parking space. So I’m short they leave us extremely un prepared for everything. That’s fine for driving in my country where we have cheap valet parking and big parking spaces where you can park nose in however the catch is we can get a international license simply by requesting one. I had to watch so many videos on signage, braking distance, courtesy and essentially all the stuff that should be common knowledge and I’m still struggling to drive abroad. On of my biggest challenges in parking. I still can’t reverse into any space but in getting better hopefully might be able to do it soon
I am 17 1 month left for 18 I have been following your videos since 2021 it has been amazing now I am going for driving lessons lets see how it goes 🎉😅Feeling quite confident tomorrow is my 1st dayyy😊 Day 1: I stalled multiple times on changing directions in gear 1 but it was a smooth drive on gear 2.. Day 2 : I stalled more than ever but this time i practiced clutch control more and steering control was good Day 11 : No stalling but horns and signals not on time
in germany u would have failed cuz here u have to turn around your head while driving backwards... not the whole time.. but here u have to check your mirrors... ur blind spots and if u see "OK I dont hit the cars next to me" then u have to turn around ur head and look out of the back window... I know its weird lol
On my driving test i got 2 negative marks. 1 was when i backed up, i didnt look behind me the entire time. In drivers ed my instructor said it was ok to check my mirrors as well as looking behind me. I still do it like this today. Looking behind me the entire time seems negligent, i have no idea whats happening in front of me that way.
My grandfather taught me how to reverse big trucks using only the mirrors, for exactly that reason. I twist around before starting but otherwise only use the mirrors. I actually don't think I could steer properly if I was looking backwards, my brain is so programmed for mirrors
@@TimeLordWereWolf the problem is you'll get a negative mark if you don't look back so you gotta adapt. I get why you have to look behind you but to only look behind you is crazy to me.
@@tsemiu ugh, lots of things on driving exams just don't make practical sense, like keeping your hands at "10-and-2" the whole time, which doesn't work if you're turning tight. When you're backing and turning, your nose swings out! Checking your nose and your back at the same time just makes the most sense.
What I do to fine tune the left-right position of the back wheels is just turn the steering wheel in the direction you want the back wheels to go. Sounds obvious, but it's possible to get it mixed up as you're looking in the mirror.
@@markfairhurst2848 yeah I refused to do it with my first instructor made him teach me the 3 line one but with my second he forced me and its way easier lmaoo
Wrong. Why should every driving school teach it then? And why should they be called “BLINDSPOTS“? The mirrors are facing the back (side) of your car. What is with people walking nearby your car but not as close as u would be able to see in the side mirrors? Until you move ur head to the site and look you wouldn‘t be able to see them. Did they not teach that at your driving lessons?
EXACTLY. lol even with 2 fingers its faster than that.. my instructor kept hitting the back of my head when i was doing that, on my actual test i drove with one hand almost all times:)) drove the speed limit at all times and was an ez pass. quickly get to the speed limit and not hold back traffic. Romania!
Love your videos. I do have a question. My instructor was always criticising me for having my heel off the floor when using the clutch. I noticed you and Erin lift your heels when using the clutch. Is that something bad?
Same my instructor always tells me to keep my heel down, I think it’s to do with control just in case you accidentally bring the clutch up too quick but I don’t see a problem with lifting your heel tjough
What the heck? Thats very rude. I was driving and practing in spring but had test in summer, so i had 2 overtake bikers for the first time on test... i failed, i paniced and didnt do it😅 dont let them get to you jun
@@megz5082 i sure hope so, dont stress to much about it ok? Even if you do fail, its ok just means you need to learn a bit more. I had a lot more 2 learn, but once i did and had my first crash i reacted perfectly. Even the police were shocked at my reaction after 2 months after my drivers exam. If i didnt react the way i did we would both end up in a hospital. So, when YOU feel ready to pass your mind and body will do the right things and will take over the fear and drive in a way you can pass. Btw i went running beafore my exam it helped me clear my mind and i passes 😊 hope it helps
I wish I had a teacher this pretty, I had a overweight bald fella. I’ve been driving a long time and I can tell you she is a GOOD teacher, get yourself booked in (especially the boys).
Or, in a modern car check your wing mirrors there’s no red lights on and then watch the telly thing as you reverse. Even my wife reverses into bays now.
Ok, if somebody runs behind a car backing up, they deserve to be at least bumped....natural selection you know. Ok ok, I roll my window down and say, hey donkey, wake up!!
Because going 3 lines ahead is just asking for the car behind you to take your spot or a walking person taking their sweet time (with their family) in the busy parking lot to get behind you and block your path to the spot. The 45 degree method is the only way to RESERVE your spot and warn walking people that you’re about to reverse park.
One thing and I don't want to be mean by any sort. Put your head in the fuking middle of the car and then reverse back. It looks stupid to drive backward and look forwards. My driving instructor from Germany told me that and it makes parking better. If you in the middle of the car(at least with the head) you would see everything.

Whoops at the end😭

Is this blind spot thing a UK thing or what? I have never done any of those in my test or in real life driving, except when changing lanes.
ain’t no way it’s just a UK thing. it’s important to check them bc you can easily miss something that comes your way.
