As a new student driver, this video really helped me a lot to understand when to check the mirrors and its steps. My driving instructor didn't explain further because of language barrier. I really hope that all instructors from non-English countries could at least explain in basic English.

[@mariamnjie6312]

I agree. I think DVLa needs to work on communication skills of instructors. Some instructors are just not good at explaining.

[@NzEidolon]

Hi team, I am a learner driver in NZ and find your videos fantastic for learning good habits and techniques. the videos are of high quality and its great that different angles, including the POV from the driver and from above is the best learning tool. I really like the fact you have opted for a narrator explaining in a calm manner instead of the person driving trying to narrate as they go. Obviously the road rules, road signs and tests are different between the UK and NZ but I am learning heaps about technique and car control. Keep up the excellent work.

It's for the passenger. This is useful for driving lessons, and compulsory on a driving test. Some instructors even use a third mirror to help them monitor where the driver is looking.

is @7:34 a major fault or was it just right to proceed with an amber light?

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

The traffic light turned amber less than a second before we crossed the stop line. It was too late to stop, so the safest thing to do is continue driving. This video might help: Traffic Lights: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKrJhJmudqiNjbc 👍🏼

very peaceful ride and peaceful to watch and listen . but it's not same here in Sri Lanka. i passed the driving test 2 weeks ago. now i practice driving alone. but my speed is usually 24-34MPH. many drivers keep hooning me and some make expressions by hand something like What the hell/ Go away. This always make me nervous . i was so confident before the test. but now each day after the practice till i arrived home and see my mother waiting for me i'm shake .

Unfortunately there will always be a few impatient and aggressive drivers around - try and ignore them if you can. However, do your best to keep up with the flow of traffic, as this will prevent other drivers getting frustrated. Good luck 👍🏼

[@jd7168]

At 2:21 there is advice regarding cyclists etc on both sides of the vehicle, but there is no comment regarding the use of all mirrors in these situations. It could also be beneficial at the appropriate point to mention that mirrors are an aid to primary observations At 3:03 after the left turn, it would be necessary to check the mirrors to check for any fast moving vehicles approaching from behind which may not have been visible or presenting a hazard prior to the turn A turn involves changing position, speed and gears all of which require a mirror check in their own right and a turn into a new road is a new traffic environment and would absolutely benefit from a triangular mirror check. Unfortunately, these vital checks seem to have been omitted in the commentary. Regards

[@yaseminkaya4976]

Hi so would you not need to check any mirrors other than centre if you were going straight ahead at a one lane roundabout. I’m just having a hard time understanding why we check mirrors before entering a roundabout. Do we check them because of where we will be positioning before entering the roundabout. So if you’re going straight on but positioning your the left of the round about you would check your centre and left. Thank you your videos are amazing

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

The purpose of checking mirrors is to see if there another vehicle close behind ours - so we can make sure we give them enough space to avoid a collision. Depending on where you are going, just consider which mirror checks will help you to stay safe in that situation. 👍🏼

[@eclecticfemale2012]

Hi how do you work on observations pertaining to checking your mirrors? If you seem to struggle with this? I am nearing test ready but I just can't seem to get my mirrors down. Thanks x

Don’t do it because your instructor tells you to, or because the examiner will want you to - check your mirrors because it will prevent an accident one day!

Hi, if I've stopped and applied the handbrake at a give way, junction, roundabout or traffic lights should I check over my shoulder blind spots as well as side mirrors just before releasing the handbrake? I would always do this following a manoeuvre or from a kerbside position. These videos are fantastic so thanks loads.

Hi, thanks for the very informative / detailed videos . IF the car in front suddenly stopped without any warning etc. should we quickly press the " Emergency " triangular button ( all yellow indicators are on and flashing at the same time ) and simultaneously pressed the foot brake... in order to warn the car behind to stop quickly as well , please ? Thank you guys .

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

That depends on how munch time we have. In a real emergency we would focus on stopping the car first, and then turn on the hazard lights afterwards. The time it takes to reach for the hazard lights will delay our braking and make our stop even more sudden. However if we have more time / space to stop our car then we might be able to use our hazards lights before we stop.

[@lwangasmith5710]

Helo guys thank for teaching us how to drive but i would like to ask whats the use of the second gear transition in some Automatic cars

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

Selecting lower gears manually in an automatic car is sometimes useful when extra engine braking is needed, such as when driving down a steep hill.

[@charlotteproudlove3730]

Hi. I hope you can help. For a pedestrian crossing is it just interior mirror or is it interior right mirror? Also, for an advanced drive, such as The Cardington, which mirrors would you check before a pedestrian crossing - all 3? Many thanks.

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

We should check whichever mirrors might show any danger behind us. Since we might need to slow down or stop we would focus mainly on the centre mirror (to see who is behind us) but if we feel it necessary check the side mirrors as well. We don't have any experience with advanced driving, so cannot help with that unfortunately.

Useful video, thanks. What about blind spots, what window would you look through? When you say a shoulder check, where specifically are you looking? On a standard car is it through the rear passenger window? Just wanted to make sure. Thanks a lot.

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

If pulling away from the side of the road, we would do a full blind spot check with all the windows and mirrors (as shown in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bn68hpSYgMidl8U ) but if we are just changing lanes we would do a ‘shoulder check’ on only the needed side (as shown in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4O3cqulqdl1obs ) 👍🏼

So I need to slow down because of something in front of me. I check my centre mirror, theirs a car tail gating me but i have no choice to slow down so I slow down anyway, then the car hits my back bumper. What was the point of checking my centre mirror if i havent got a choice? is it so i can slow down more gently giving a brake light to the driver behind to give them more time to react?

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

If we know the vehicle behind is very close to us, we can driver a little slower to give us more time to react to a hazard, and also brake more gently as you suggest.

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

The examiner will see our mirror check even if it's just an eye movement - there is no need to exaggerate anything. The people crossing the road were not on a pedestrian crossing, so as long as we think it is safe there is no need to stop.
