The quays in Dublin can be lethal for drug addicts crossing the road in front of oncoming traffic without even looking. As a pedestrian, I've seen that a few times were it caused many cars to break or swerve suddenly. My instructor even warned me about it when we drove down the quays.

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

Hazards come in many varieties!

[@jameskehoe1442]

Can you overtake a cyclist on a continuous white line if he is going very slow and it’s safe to do so? Or must you wait for a broken white line?

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

You can yes if its safe, you need to be practical.

[@roldancbu]

I always looked at my flanks (the sides) when pulling off or before turning into a road. the cyclist might appear suddenly esp. kids

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

Good things to do

[@freddykrueger3690]

Hi Dane, was wondering can you use the indicators when moving around potholes in the road? Thanks

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

If moving out over the middle of the road yes

[@estilen69]

What's the adequate clearance for being stuck behind a cyclist with no ability to overtake?

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

Around a car length plus a bit, need to be close enough to make the overtaking more practical and easier.

[@ninatimofeyeva7282]

Hi Dane, how about a cyclist on the road when there’s a solid white line in the middle? I was once stuck behind one for about 10 minutes. My instructor then told me I could overtake, but I’d be crossing the solid white line then?

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

You need to be realistic and practical and stop applying a rigid interpretation of the rules of the road, you really need to watch this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6utqGeQh9mMr8k

[@alanodonnell4788]

It's hard for me to tell which Pedestrians are Vulnerable or not? But I know I have to really check who really is? And the Cyclists to.

[@dianam5141]

Hi Dane, if a pedestrian steps off the pavement - NOT at a pedestrian crossing- but then waits there at the side of the street to cross, is a driver still obligated to stop for them so they can cross? (even if they are not in any kind zebra crossing and haven't continued to walk across the street)

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

Yes usually the driver must wait for the pedestrian to cross in that case.

[@dianam5141]

@@DaneTygheletsdrive Thank you for your reply! So is not dangerous to allow the pedestrian to cross when they are not in a pedestrian crossing? Or is there just the general rule of once they are off the pavement cars have to stop for them no matter where they are (and even if they don't continue walking out into the street)? It just seems if a car stops in this case, it's putting the pedestrian in greater danger because without an appropriate crossing other cars/motorcycles/cyclists might not see them and try to go around the stopped car, possibly hitting the person.

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

There is no specific answer to these questions because it entirely depends on the situation and I'm certainly not going to be going into a hypothetical rabbit hole because we'd be here all day. What other cars do is up to them and you should not waste your time worrying about them. Just don't beckon the pedestrian out onto the road, let them make their own decision and if they want to walk out in front of a moving car then that's their choice, not yours.

[@reecegill2224]

Hi Dana having great stress panicking about theory questions are they as important as I’m making them out or am I overthinking it ?

[@reecegill2224]

Dane*

[@pausz8729]

Passed mine yesterday and was the same as yourself. I thought alot more theory was involved. The examiner for me anyway, seemed to ask me questions that are commonly asked so I didnt have a bother answering them. I'd say touch up on road signs but again they seem to ask common enough ones. Don't stress about the theory too much because if your driving is spot on you won't have anything to worry about, although it makes a good impression on the examiner if you are able to answer every question he throws at you !

[@reecegill2224]

@@pausz8729 cheers appreciate that

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

As pausz said, it makes a good impression to get off to a good start but the theory is only a small part of the overall test.

[@kszoknyik]

Hi Dane, great video as always! I wanted to ask: is it legal to overtake a cyclist when there's a continuous white line but is safe to do so (no oncoming traffic)? Thanks so much!

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

Yes that's fine in order to drive in a practical way only if safe in order to maintain good progress.

[@binuthomas6658]

@@DaneTygheletsdrive During the test, if the cyclist is very slow, can we overtake him by crossing continues white line or crossing hatchmark?

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

Yes that's OK once safe

[@GJ-io3dn]

Hi Dana, I hope you're well . When you overtake cyclists do we put the indicator on? Also in theory the stop sign, you stop at the sign but during your practical test if the stop sign is not accompanied by a white line do you stop at the sign or where you think the line should be? Please advise, thank you

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

Good to indicate if crossing the white line or the middle of the road. Stop at the sign if no line.

To me it's insanity to cycle on the road full stop (think of the odds of an accident for a cyclist vs how many times he travels - practically guaranteed having an accident while extremely heavy vehicles are moving fast in your proximity). I used to always cycle on the footpath often, never had any issue (practically 0% risk for me or pedestrians), but granted I use common sense (and if something happened, sure, its crap, but car vs cyclist = death, while cyclist vs pedestrian = ouch, sorry about that{unless they are a madman on the footpaths - but that CAN BE SOLVED}). I think it's sad they 'have' to cycle on the road, cause I want to follow the rules, like to cycle, but there is no way you will see me cycle on a main road, unless I have to for a min or two for whatever reason (eg. paths blocked). Bear in mind, you may be a safe driver, but many are not. I'm not going to risk my life because you and a few others are good drivers. Now imagine those reckless (no common sense) cyclists on a road if forced to do so, or worse, driving. Bigger footpaths, loosen the laws and everyone just chill out. CCTV everywhere now if a cyclist were to be reckless or hit and run (is it really so hard for police to follow up, special licensees can be given to cyclists on footpaths too - and we'd all be a lot safer). Its not ideal but your not going to get ideal, all I know its almost impossible for me to have an accident on a bike on a foot path (especially a reasonably big one - forget about those retarded lanes too, how often do people walk in them, rules overload and 0 common sense), I think you're all mad. The one thing that would put me off driving is road cyclists, in my opinion they are insane and don't belong there - and ive cycled more than most. [Rant over]

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

Footpaths are for pedestrians not cyclists (unless the signs say they are shared)

[@CraicDiario]

I failed once 5min after my test started because of a pedestrian ... it is so frustrating

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

They are a law onto themselves.

[@Addictivemeh]

Failed my first test earlier this year from a cyclist swerving out across into the middle of the road avoiding a parked car and I swerved myself to avoid hitting him. I was the only car driving on the road thank god but I could just sense from the tester from that point on that it was over for me. Heading in for my second shot at it tomorrow, hoping it's second time lucky haha

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

In that situation you needed to be aware of the possibility of the Cyclist doing that so you should have been alert to the cyclist and the parked car because they can make sudden movements.

[@Addictivemeh]

@@DaneTygheletsdrive Yeah 100%, was my fault without doubt think the nerves had just gotten to me and wasn't expecting such a sudden swerve. Just passed today at last though, thanks for your videos Dane they've been a great help

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

You didn't hang around! Congratulations on your success 😊

[@Alex-oc2vt]

Some cyclists are aware that there is a cycle lane yet still chose to ride on the road and slow down the traffic behind them. What’s the reason for that?

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

I know such behaviour can be frustrating but if they are overtaking or or turning right up ahead they might need to move out.

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

That's why you need to look behind you and not stare at your mirrors. But yes Pedestrians can be careless and unpredictable.

[@AntonSlavik]

As both a cyclist and pedestrian learning to drive, I can guarantee that we are the most dangerous things on the road. Drivers know what they're doing. The rest of us are reckless morons lol Edit: If a cyclist is not on the road, they're not beholden to the rules of the road and they definitely don't care about them. They have a definite chance of suddenly deciding to use the road. It took me way too long to realise I was more of a factor of concern than a pedestrian because of how quickly I can move. I simply didn't give a shit.

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

The more protected cycle lanes we get the better. In the meantime we all just need to show a bit of cop on and respect.
