My Sentiments exactly!! Jacquelines Great!!🎉❤
So calming and professional driver , I am learning a lot from you !
Thanks for being a part of our community! We're grateful for your support and we hope you continue to learn and grow with us😊
Wow, Jacqueline, you wore the correct shoes to explain how the ball of the foot, and the big toe helps control speed, thanks
You're welcome! We were actually looking forward to someone noticing it! 😊
Your videos showing feet on pedals have been so beneficial. It's one thing to hear about it, another to see it done right.
I glad you teach using the bottom of the steering wheel. That is what my (new) instructor teaches. I feel like I have more control of the steering that way. With the hand over hand method, I had a tendency to cross my arms by mistake.
I like how you talk😊 so calm 😌. My husband was screaming 🙀 when I practiced driving it makes me nervous 😬. Jesus 😅🥰
Thank you so much for all fo your videos! After I failed my test the first time, I started watching your videos and passed the second time today!
The way you explain driving techniques in this video is amazing.. so easy to understand! Great job!🙌
What a great instructor! Calmed, knowledgeable, always sharing easy to understand tips, and instructions. So glad I found your channel. Thank you for the time you take to prepare these amazing instructional videos for us.
Really useful!! I was also taught hand over hand way, and now it’s more easy to steer using your method
It's great to know that our videos are having a positive impact on your driving skills. Keep it up!🙂✌
I am so glad I found your instructional videos. I would love for my son to have you as his driving instructor, you are so calm and professional.
Your positive feedback motivates us to create more valuable content. Thanks for your support!❤
Thank you so much Jackie for teaching a new driver like me a new technique and easy for me or for those new drivers out there ❤ your awesome teacher I learned so much watching your videos ❤ hope more drivers learning to watch 🎉 thanks Jackie 💞 your awesome and cool 😎
Thanks for your kind words! If you ever need assistance, just reach out❤
For some reason I find this technique therapeutic. Maybe because I am really just frustrated because I got a very bad instructor (not really wanted to call him that though). It seems I only rented his car since he never actually taught something (even the parts of the car). He just let me drive in the first day since I got a little knowledge through CZcams.
As always, thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you so much for your videos! I've been trying to watch them all for my test which is tomorrow. I wish everyone good luck and confidence to pass!
Your support means the world to us. If there's anything specific you'd like us to cover in our next video, let us know🙂✌
Thank you very much, Jackie. I passed my road test last month and your videos helped me very well.
Thank you for so kind words ❤ and thanks for being a part of our channel!
I passed my permit exam on the first try!!! Thanks to you guys for providing sooooo much study guides!!! The only downside news I have is I didn’t pass my vision test. I did good reading from both eyes, and my left eye. My right eye I couldn’t see very well. I wear glasses, so I need to get an eye exam and probably some new glasses. I think I know what would the outcome be is probably night driving won’t be the best for me. But other than that, I’m happy I passed, now I just have to focus on practice driving and get ready for the driving test! 🪪🚘
Congratulations on passing your permit exam! That's a great achievement. It's a good plan to get an eye exam and new glasses to ensure your vision is optimal for driving. Keep up the practice, and you'll do great on the driving test! 🚗🎉
@@Zutobi_US thank you 😊

Thanks for the useful video. Nice shoes!
Thanks for your feedback! ❤
You have explained very well people usually think that they have to put their whole foot over the break and use all of their pressure to press down on the break, but that's incorrect. Your method makes it easier to pivot between the two pedals which is correct otherwise it will become messy as your foot keeps on jumping from pedal to pedal and hence in an emergency you cannot react in a split second!
I just love the way you explain ❤
Thank you for special presentation
Thank you for being a part of our driving community! If you ever need assistance, just reach out🙂✌

Thank you in advance.

I'm still on the fence on this. tried both, but for tight turn always resort to the hand over steering style.
Looks more controlled for sure. Is this method of steering allowed during road tests though?
🙏
Thanks for your feedback!
Very gud instructres.😊
This is fine for slow speed and shallow turns, but I notice you still use the hand over hand method in your latest videos, or I should say a combination of both methods. I believe the most important thing is to allow the steering wheel to self center as the car straightens, sliding through your fingers, or letting your fingers just follow the wheel as it self centers, always being ready to take control. I say whatever feels most natural for the situation, not just copying what race car drivers to, is probably the best approach.
There is an instructor in England who only recommends the bottom of the wheel method, and he recommends you keep you hands firmly on the wheel and steer the car back straight ahead, not allowing the steering wheel to self center. These students have a heck of a time, constantly under and over steering and over correcting. They look like they are drunk, swerving around. I believe that is very bad advice. He also recommends putting the parking brake on at intersections, which is ridiculous. He's pretty good about scanning and using turn signals though.
What’re thoooseeee
I have my test tomorrow and I’m a little nervous but your teaching is helping me so much my turns have been so much better 🫶🫶🫶 I will update you guys and let you know if I passed 🥹🥹
Thanks very much for this video! 🥹💜
