Driving On A Dual-Carriageway | Extended Drives

Many learner drivers say they feel apprehensive before driving on a dual-carriageway - but they really shouldn’t worry, as they are statistically the safest roads to drive on. In this video, we will drive on a dual-carriageway for about 25 miles - but to make it more interesting, we will take every exit, before rejoining again! Hopefully, we can share a few tips to help you next time you use a dual-carriageway or motorway.

[@shourov4637]

Whoever runs this awesome channel thank you soooo much. I have learned so much from this channel and conquered my fear of driving. And the voice behind so soothing 😌

[@yourchannel3046]

I passed my test first time a year ago and drove more that 20,000 miles since then. These videos helped me a lot.

[@dkmaorusamuk]

Thanks for this. Would love to see more of these!

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

There are a few more in the ‘Extended Drives’ playlist 👍🏼

[@Loadarine]

I love this channel so much. Ive passed my test almost 2 years ago and ive been subscribed ever since. You guys do put so much effort into your videos and I appreciate it. Thank you guys!

[@imeldaevans2255]

Another brilliant video from advance driving, thanks very much.I needed this before my mock test.

[@rebeccacx_4804]

Really insightful video on how to leave and join dual carriageways, also interesting to see how other people drive. Really helpful commentary too 😊

[@aleksandarcvetkovic5657]

I don't want to skipp I enjoy in every minut of the video!!! Many greetings from Serbia!

[@Parrotting]

These videos are massively helpful. I have dyspraxia and the different angles of the camera and simple explanations allow me to understand it all perfectly clearly. Thank you so much.

[@andrewsoware2076]

Have been driving for two years since I passed my test. Love watching your videos, very informative.

[@zzharia]

Been driving 2 yrs and still so nervous on some of dual carriageways and motorways , especially when exiting. Thanks for your videos they help .

[@mk63369]

Fantastic video n love how you 2 work 👍

[@rosiejeffrey5413]

Thank you I just passed my test but I don't do well on the slip roads ..iv just learned by watching ur footage if I need to I can ithere slow down or just wait on a gap ...thank you I didn't no I could wait on a gap coming of the slip road if I needed to

[@fatimaesf8364]

Thank you for the clear speaking accent.

[@tauseefkamran8531]

very good and safe driving video helps a lot of people and boost our confidence thank you , I learnt a lot

[@bijayaadhikari7628]

Thanks 👍 it was useful

[@artemkatelnytskyi]

This whole video is just Mat showing off his downshifting skills. Can't blame him though!

[@paulbutler2273]

Great video

[@ndureone999]

Awesomeness!!!

[@binocat7143]

Thanks 😊

[@ivandrago7550]

2:20 This also help's other driver's if there going over poor road surfaces, so they have the space to steer around "potholes/crater's".

[@JohngolightlyLive]

20:49, should play kevin macleod music, that's copyright free to use lol

[@tamarapowell4193]

Yet again, another video job, well done 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿. And Mr ADS (I know your names Matt, but I like Mr ADS better 😁) you made that seem effortless 😂😂. I was watching it (from start to finish) with my mum and said "he makes it seem SO easy, I think I could do that. But in reality I'm screaming for my mum, because I'm going TOO FAST" 😂😂😂. Yet again. Job well done 👍🏿. And if you're stopping at KFC.. Can I have a big daddy box meal please? You know, for being your biggest fan 😁😂😂😂😂

[@Scorpions123456]

I have found your videos very helpful, i have my test in Bury st Edmunds in 2 weeks. i was wondering if you could answer me a question. if you are driving up a slip road to join the dual carriage way and you indicate and check your blind spot but you cant find a safe gap to join should you slow right down or even stop on the slip road? i was just wondering what you should do in this scenario

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

We should adjust our speed in order to take whatever gap is available. We often need to accelerate or brake to do this, but it is very very rare to actually stop on the slip road. Good luck on your test! 🤞🏼

[@Danielagostinho21]

Did you do something to the Fiesta? Seems Louder than usual. Also, so neat to see the same vehicles after rejoining the Dual-Carriageway

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

If you look closely at 1:40 I switched it to ‘sport mode’ so we could hear the engine more clearly 👍🏼

[@Pauldjreadman]

I'm watching this because I'm thinking of taking lessons. One thing that drives me made is when people don't indicate, I hadn't realised it is against the law not to.

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

Most of the Highway Code is just official advice. Only when it states ‘you must…’ is there an actual law about something. However, we also find it frustrating when inconsiderate drivers are too lazy to indicate property!

[@AKtuallyme]

Thanks for everything you do for the learner community. Can a learner do away with fifth gear on driving test. I think dual carriageway can be safely driven up till 4th gear. For some reason I dread using 5th gear and loose my focus from road to gearbox.

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

That depends on the car and the speed you are driving at. In our experience most cars cruise better at 60mph+ in 5th or 6th gear. On the test you might be given a minor fault for staying in 4th gear, but it won’t affect the test result. Maybe just practice selecting 5th a little more until you are happier to use that gear. This video might help: How To Change Gear: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6DbZWSuisyln7M 👍🏼

[@aleksandarcvetkovic5657]

I have a problem when I change a gear especialy from 1st to 2nd. After I move a gear leaver from 1st to 2nd and than lifting the clutch my car slows too much. What you recomend to me to do? Did I need to add gas as I'm changing a gear?

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

It might be that you are changing gear at the wrong speed? Try to follow what we do in this video: How To Drive A Manual Car: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHzUlXmir65_kMU 👍🏼

[@chrisst8922]

What i can imagine why some drivers slow down approaching a dual carriageway but i can't understand it.

[@ayeshakhadim5301]

Very ture

[@mohdarifarifhafizi9874]

Driving good luck

[@ralphshingfield8865]

At 2.40 he goes round the roundabout and indicates left to come off but indicates before the sugar factory but comes off exit after is this correct and what should be done?

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

I indicate to change lanes, cancel the signal as I pass exit 4, then indicate again to take my exit. I prefer to change lanes earlier than usual on that roundabout as it’s safer than doing it quickly after exit 4.

[@subbingtoeveryonethatsubst6920]

Hi, can you please do a FULL driving test PASS where you the instructor is driving and you talk through the steps? Thanks you.

[@turabhaider545]

I want to join this driving school

[@herhighness476]

How fast i should drive on dual carrige way on my driving test? 55m/h is enough or keep closer to 70mh?i hear many different storys abt it😓

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

We must keep up with the flow of traffic. If the road is clear, we like to stay above 60mph - so lorries don’t have to try and overtake us. In heavy traffic, just follow the car in front at a safe following distance. 👍🏼

[@iinavanplayz]

On a 2 lane slip road which lane should you aim to be in- right or left

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

We drive on the left, unless we need to overtake slower traffic.

[@JeanRoi]

Well that is sensible driving.

[@adavirus69]

Why does the GPS speed reading differ from the car speed reading? 7:47

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

That's because the GPS data is accurate, but the car's speedometer under-reads a little, to allow for the fact tyres get smaller as they wear.

[@safaulhoque4667]

Why during lane change sometimes indicator is not used?

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

We only need to indicate when it would help someone else understand what we are about to do. If there isn’t anyone nearby then it’s OK no to signal.

[@aleksandarcvetkovic5657]

Did you go in KFC at the end for a snack?

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

I was very tempted!

[@Tommy_67]

Dual carriageways are statistically the safest roads! Safer than motorways?

[@user-hj8jv1rz3s]

Notice the exit was a 20mph bend but the car was going 30mph

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

Where was that please?

[@user-hj8jv1rz3s]

Hi , exit 2 has a left hand bend sign with 20mph on it . I’m not an expert, this could be advisory.

[@user-hj8jv1rz3s]

@@AdvanceDrivingSchool Hi, 8:23 - left hand bend sign .

[@user-hj8jv1rz3s]

I did enjoy the video 👍🏼

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

Thanks! A rectangular sign is only for our information, rather than an order contained in a round sign. So in this case they suggest 20mph for the next corner - but the national speed limit still applies. In a modern road car 20mph seems unnecessarily slow so we drive a little faster. 👍🏼
