Correction: In April 2015, new national speed limits came into force for heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) over 7.5 tonnes on single carriageway and dual carriageway roads in England and Wales. The new limits are: 50 mph (up from 40 mph) on single carriageway roads. 60 mph (up from 50 mph) on dual carriageway roads. The speed limits did not increase in Scotland and are still 40mph and 50mph respectively.
The range of these tutorials is crazy. Thanks.
You're welcome ☺
Even here in Belgium your videos are super helpful, I don't think I would have ever learned how to drive properly without your videos! Thanks!
Happy to hear that!
I normally drive between 5 and 10 mph within the speed limit. Depends on the situation. Currently learning. On my 10th lesson now and today's the second time I've been on the main road. Still lots more to learn. Instructor has helped me take it at my own speed.
25:21 damn that was authentic
😂 I do speak horse 🐴
Keep making these videos as I learn something new every time even from the US💯👍👏
Will do!

I am a professional driver of 32 years and started after decades of saying it taking my advanced driving test i watched this video before going out as i don't use country roads but a City of London driver and urban roads, this helped me on my course and got very good comments at the end of my drive. you will always be learning while driving no matter how long you have been on the road.
Thank you for still continuing to make video even in lockdown !
I'll try my best :)
i love how considerate you were with that lady with the pram (and her wave of thanks both times!). You're such a great teacher it is actually a bit scary
I just passed my driving test today! Your videos have been very helpful, thank you so much 😊
That's great to hear, congratulations on passing!
Such a great point regarding learners steering rather than slowing down!
We weren't born to drive, most people struggle with he same things. Just some more than others.
It’s so right about “examinators disparity on speed on country roads”. On Borehamwood exam I was doin 30-35 on a quite bendy and hilly road and examinator decided it’s a major with a such low speed 😞
Another tip for turning right on a blind bend. Wind your window down so you cxan listen for vehicles approaching
That helps too.
Love all the videos. After watching them all now I feel like I can drive like a Pro :) .. thanks man
Thank you for watching them all!
🤣👏👏👏 the last history with horse and three points turn was very interesting
Vey helpful had my mock today in Sevenoaks and there are lots of country roads glad to say your videos helped and I passed my mock.
I do love watching your videos. Sometimes, I laugh while watching them because you're a funny man. ^^
Thank you!
Your videos are so informative! I wish I had found them before passing my test. Thank you!
You're welcome ☺
Thank you so much this video help me pass driving test in West Wickham
A funny way of explaining the mini roundabout 🤣 Thank you!
Great video, I like the walk-through as you’re actually driving along.. could be a good idea to do a video through an actual test route?
Good idea!
Your horse impression was on point !
25:21 made me laugh so hard xD
😉
Thank you for the video. Love from Bangladesh. 😃
You are most welcome
Thanks for doing this mate
No problem 👍
I learnt to drive in a town and this video is super helpful.👍🏻
Wonderful videos! I can't believe I can access such valuable information for free. Very informative. Bravo!
I was wondering if you can make a video about cars. As a new driver I'm looking for a second hand car but the make, the km, previous owners, engine size..etc are confusing me.
I will in the future. Thank you.
Yeay :) i did 68mph today durring my lesson,getting better every time :)
thanks 4 your videos :)
went on the backroads for the first time yesterday since passed, i was too nervous to go on those roads but it's actually very easy if you have common sense.
You said you have to drive through thetford forest! You must be very close to me then as I live in Bury St Edmunds!!
I live in Colchester Essex but I adore Cadwell Park and I have to get up very early to get there for 08:00 AM
SO DO I!!!! Small world
babyH777 haha 😂 I live near county Upper school
Very helpful video, thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
you learn me a lot, really thank you for good instructions
Since I am from India,most of our road are like this and their are always pedestrians on the left side and there are no footpath plus they allow 12 wheels truck to go through road during day. So, it's a nightmare to drive but I learn a lot from you sir.
Thank you, that does sound a challenge.
Liked and subscribed your videos. They are very helpful. Thanks a lot! Keep them coming!
Thanks for that rural roads video and I'm sure it would have clarified what speeds are appropriate to the road and the road conditions. Do you ever use the term 'limit point of vision' relating to bend severity ? It can be helpful in assessing the distance needed stop safely on your own side of the road. e.g. Keeping to the left for right hand bends and towards the right for left hand bends.
I've never used that term but I believe it is what I do.
i love your lessons :)
Thank you.
thank you
You're welcome
Hi Conquer , Dave a driving instructor here , love your lessons they are really good , Would just say one thing though if you sound your horn before you go round a bend on a rural road you may spook a horse, you even said yourself to stay quiet when going past a horse , if you sound your horn before a bend you may find a spooked horse when you get there
That's true. I generally don't sound the horn myself unless it really is a slow dangerous blind bend.
Please could you do a video about city driving and meeting situations please!
I may do that. I do have a video for dealing with parked cars. Worth a check.
Love from Uganda east Africa 🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬💋
I failed on a country road today literally 5 minutes before the end of my test. So gutted I went down a dip on a bend and steered over to the right so I got a fail. Cant stand the country lanes I just can't seem to drive 40 when its so small and narrow 😅
I'm sorry to hear that, you're not alone but with practise it gets easier.
Thanks for sharing it
In Milton Keynes they have street lamps however the speed limit is 60
You would have signs if the speed limit is 60 with street lamps. The street lamp rule is for when you don't have signs.
25:22 ... excellent impression 😂
😂
Amazing video. Ive just started driving on country roads with my instructor and I’m finding it difficult tbh. My biggest problem is I keep driving too close to the hedge on the left 😅
So many new drivers do that, try to let your instructor guide you, you will feel like you will hit the oncoming cars but they are further away than they seem. Let your instructor show you where to position the car, maybe even guide the wheel for a bit and your brain will start to adapt it's judgement.
me too
The camera angles and view of the pedals is so helpful, thank you. Am I correct that most cars you wouldn't be able to go as low as 30mph in 6th gear? My instructor would have advised me to go into 3rd gear by that speed.
I wouldn't say most but there are certainly a lot of cars that would be shaking in 6th gear at 30mph.
Thanks 😊
Do the examiners use tablets instead of paper in the UK? this way the examiner can show exactly how fast you were traveling(built in gps) on the road, the learner has a harder time contesting results however.
The examiners are starting to use tablet computers but not for speed.
Interested by the digital speed display on your Seat what model do you drive? And really good instructional video too!
Thanks you, it's a 2014 SEAT Leon 1.4 TSI FR SC
Thought I come up with a few more suggestions about videos, what about night driving?? Driving in fog??
Thank you, I rarely get fog and it's hard to film at night but I may try and do something.
@@ConquerDriving Brilliant, love your videos!! And you're an Essex boy!
“Look at the trees” - i live in Scotland, we don’t have trees here haha
can you make a video how to handle on roundabouts?
I do have a video.
Hi very good driving love every min of it careful but sadly people are not careful on roads , thats why i get so many panic attacks its because of driving or being a passenger with people who drive too fast, rural areas are ok for people if they like it i perfect to be in a city where I can walk 🚶♂️ and go on a bike any advice on driving panic attacks i don't feel in control when i behind the wheel, i get people tailgating aswell i do be doing the speed limits coming into towns and cars still over take
There will always be someone who is faster than you. I think you need to accept that whatever you do you will be subjected to a certain amount of abuse when you drive, try to let it be water of a ducks back and concentrate on your own enjoyment. Never drive faster than you're comfortable with, whatever anyone says.
@@ConquerDriving hi if you were in Ireland I wouldn't mind going in the car with you i know your a safe driver like my cousin from UK he is safe on country lanes aswell check out one of my videos driving its me on a country lane last Christmas.
@@ConquerDriving hi my video is called driving to galway its the same safe speed that I am happy with, like I said before I get very panicy when in a car with a casual fast driver
@@ConquerDriving hi merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 to you and happy new year aswell where did you bring it in was it with family or friends.
Which petrol engine do you have in that Seat? I notice it allows you to change up as early as 1900rpm-2000rpm and still picks up very well in the next gear. Plenty of torque.
I noticed you managed to accelerate from 30mph to 60mph in 6th 😮 Not many cars could pull that off.
1.4 TSI 140 It's a very flexible engine, great road engine and easy for beginners. I can change up as early as 1,500rpm no problem.

Just had a look at the stats and amazed that it has potential to return 70mpg! I think you should make a video demonstrating this *wink wink*
I found the road with speed limit around 40-50mph is more difficult to manage than motorway (70mph). Because you need to keep speed up & down & stop very regularly. I am driving an auto car and it takes several seconds to slow down from 50 to stop. Do you have any tips or video talk about it?
It sounds like you may need to focus further up the road so you notice when you need to slow down earlier. These two videos may help:

Almost heaven
Also do you have any tips for driving a van please? I can't afford a car yet so will be straight onto driving my partners fiat doblo van as my first vehicle when I pass, I am quite nervous about the change to a van and no interior mirror.
It's not really very different, just less refined in my experience. You will need to use your wing mirrors more and understand that things look further away in wing mirrors than they actually are.
I've failed on the country road for going to slow ... 🐌 😭
I'm sorry to hear that. They do want you quite fast on country roads in my opinion.
@conquer driving nice video bro...bro if I speeding up the car at gear 3 or 4 and there is upcoming Hill or bridge can I just use with the same gear?
Depends on the car Yogeswaran. Listen to the engine, if it sounds deep and struggles, choose a lower gear, if it's happy then carry on.
@@ConquerDriving noted with huge thanks bro😁😁
Hey I got one question: If you know you have to stop on a traffic light for example whats the righter thing to do clutch neutral gear then brake and stop or clutch brake stop and then when u stop neutral? Does it matter?
leave in gear, brake until the engine drops to around 1200rpm, put the clutch in and then brake smoothly the last bit, and ease off the brake at about 1mph so it's smooth.
If you are going to be sat there a while, handbrake up, neutral and then clutch up.. but this is not necessary, only if your left leg aches :P
You shouldn't be moving in neutral, that's bad coasting.
Exactly. Thanks for the help Michael, I'm getting a lot of comments these days. I holpe you're still enjoying your licence.
2:29 My driving instructor keeps telling me to slow down 😂
Just speed though traffic
“It’s April 2020 and we are still in lockdown”, man doesn’t know what’s coming
Yeah, you can say that again. I'll try not to think about next winter.
Do we always have to look at the rev counter while driving to find the bite points
MDKGamer PRO No... you feel it in your foot... and eventually it will become muscle memory as to where to raise the clutch to
@@Joemerry1603 Very well explained.
You can feel it, don't look for it, you want to look at the road in front and behind.
@@johnhall4917 indeed
@@ConquerDriving tnx
If 60 if the national speed limit then why is there other limits just have 60.
National speed limit is specific to vehicle.
My girlfriend failed her first test for going 40 on country roads
👏👏👏👏👏
Hi do you take any clients in Colchester at the moment
I'm fully booked at the moment. I'll probably have spaces in the Autumn.
@@ConquerDriving I'll probably pass by autumn
