Driving at Night Part 2 - Demonstrations and Examples

[@kajairokajairo2271]

This guy is amazing, anything you are worried about in driving, he got a video for it

[@3LZ0RR0]

I've had my license for 3 months but i'm still watching videos like this for some reason haha

[@ConquerDriving]

I hope they help.

[@muhammadabdullah03]

@@ConquerDriving the videos your making are very helpful. I will get my licence and start to drive in the near future

I got mine last month am 45 and still watching to learn

[@user-lu1pt2ud3y]

As just a pointer for anyone who finds it useful, if you're getting blinded by the oncoming traffic, you can always see the side line of your lane, so you could look for that side line to keep driving straight.

[@edwardtsui4115]

Very good video. I am living in Hong Kong. 99% of the roads are well lit by street lamps here. Your video teaches what I need to note when driving on "dark" roads.

[@davidriley9194]

This video really helps! I had my licence for a year and 3 months after I’ve passed my test. Here’s another tip, if the headlights from oncoming car are giving too much glare to see past clearly, then you need to slow right down or even stop sometime. Try not to risk carry on driving when blinded as they might be a cyclist, pedestrian etc that we could hit. So if you can, if you’re blinded, just pull over and allow your eyes to return back to normal before continuing. Also, try not to flash your headlights at another oncoming car to dim their lights down as they might also can be blinded and they can lead to accidents. Hope this helps!😊

[@Jamesdanielfitness]

Brilliant video! I wouldn't mind seeing a video about the main dangers of driving, like wrong shoes and animals like you said.

[@ConquerDriving]

That's a good idea, thank you.

[@Jamesdanielfitness]

@@ConquerDriving no problem, maybe Instagram for your channel next??

[@TheZobdob]

Going to be driving I'm the dark for the first time tomorow and I'm really nervous but watched your videos for some tips and hopefully all goes well! Thanks for the videos I watch them all the time as a newly passed driver and they have helped alot

[@finfoxwolfpack2542]

Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos. I’m a new driver & I’ve been seriously struggling with night driving. I took your advice & invested in getting cleaner windows. After removing the hard water marks & using better products the cars completely different. I can see! Onwards & up. 👍🏼

[@cub1xthebest]

Person that disliked this probably doesen't turn off their full beams for nobody

[@user-rfyl4t]

Great video, very easy to understand. I went out on some short stretches of country roads at night on my first 20/25 hours of my driving as a learner and it wasn't too bad, a bit daunting as a beginner though. Even though I never looked directly in the headlights of oncoming cars, the glare makes it hard to see ahead in the dark so I was on the full beams asap haha.

[@MichaelFlatman]

11:13 The corner light markers on big vehicles can be very helpful when negotiating parked cars, can give way in plenty of time, as the glare form their headlights usually makes the size of the vehicle almost invisible. Helpful video anyway, I do agree with the 30mph dipped beams also.

[@ConquerDriving]

That's true.

[@scottradburn-acting794]

I think with my lessons I have been very lucky, none of it was intentional it's just how it pans out, so far I have driven in the dark with pouring rain aswell as country roads in the dark with fog, I feel very grateful that I have been able to experience these with my instructor otherwise if I was on my own I have no idea what Todo, but with lockdown these videos are helping me with both my practical and theory knowledge, like with the first lockdown these videos knocked so much time off, thank you so much

[@kurtishornsby5103]

Passed my test 18 months ago and I'm only now learning that I can pull on the mirror to reduce the glare lmao

[@ConquerDriving]

Well I'm happy I taught you something 😊

[@jo86bevo92]

Your videos are great and have helped me improved my driving even after I've passed my test. Would you also make a video that talks about driving at night in the rain? I find it very hard to see and follow the roads/lanes markings at night in the rain, and hence driving under such conditions makes me very nervous.

[@KushShetty]

Using all your tips to drive here in India, as even here cars are right hand drive

[@blueninjanoname7338]

Great video, deserves more views for sure.

[@bq4823]

For me becoming a physician was a lot easier than driving 😅

[@ConquerDriving]

😂 For some I'm sure that's true.

[@Loadarine]

Reversing at night when its raining can be difficult. I done that with my van. Theres a blind spot directly behind me

[@patjoethebaker]

Top notch as always, thanks Richard

[@AKtuallyme]

Great video! I have never driven in the night time so very useful content. Why can’t authorities light up all the roads? 🤔

[@ConquerDriving]

Always come down to money and resources.

[@WATCH_TOWER_MAN]

Oh, hmmm...

[@nanna382]

Thanku Richard 💯 I found this video scary although I would like to experience it, unsure if I ever will. My practical test is due on 4th March but I know it will not take place. I have been trying to overcome trauma for many yrs and never taken a practical test due to flash backs, so this would have been my first attempt & now the pandemic makes me feel as if I should abort this goal. I now also have disabilities so I need to drive an automatic car. I appreciate the videos that you upload many thanks 😇

[@ConquerDriving]

Thank you. Always keep trying 😊

[@karan2shane]

Can you please do a tight parallel park video (with a double park road, and cars both in front and behind the space)

[@ConquerDriving]

These two videos may help you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHyWlat9oNqNrqs kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJnHgqNjfdKXqZY

[@vamsikrishnachaitanya8866]

Can you do video on tyre maintainence

[@ConquerDriving]

That's a good idea.

[@llxhs8]

I live on a narrow bendy street where people park all the way down and it’s so hard to get down even during the day as the gaps are so narrow. My main worry in the dark is getting through these small gaps with reduced vision

[@iamkhtray]

could you please demonstrate on a rainy night too? thank you!

[@ConquerDriving]

Thank you for your suggestion. I may do in the future.

[@iamkhtray]

@@ConquerDriving thanks, I don't think I can see the white and yellow line including the text on the road on rainy day even though my headlights and fog lights have been turned on.....Also, last time you told me about doing a video about parallel parking on the right-hand side... still haven't seen it on your channel. thank you.....

[@thevahandbook]

I hate driving at night. I've just moved to the countryside and when cars are coming towards me, I find it hard to see if the (still unfamiliar) road ahead is curving etc. And then I usually end up hitting a pothole as well!

[@ConquerDriving]

It's definitely harder at night time. A lower speed increases safety when you can't see as far.

[@jimmyjonga8048]

Good Luck keeping that distance from the car in front. As soon as you leave the distance someone will come in from your right and take up that space. Then you will try to slow down to leave a gap with the car who took up the space and there will be one behind you right up your back side badgering you even if you are going at the maximum speed allowed. Boxed in is what happens in reality. Especially if you have an L or P plate. They go nuts when they see those letters. Enjoy!

[@ConquerDriving]

I don't usually find it too difficult, occasionally I get badgered for keeping a safe distance but it's not all the time and I think the badger may not be the one to listen to.

[@jimmyjonga8048]

@Conquer Driving I agree. I was merely sensitizing new drivers to the realities of being on the road compared to what should ideally happen. It does not happen all the time. You are correct in pointing that out. There are people who keep a good distance and give you space when they see your P or L plate, others are apathetic, and for a select few, it is like a red rag to a bull.

[@dddasilva9634]

This is true in my country. Lots of aggressive and indisciplined driving

[@rairaur2234]

YMMV, I find it really easy to keep a safe distance and an occasional driver that pulls in front of me is merely a new target for that safe distance.

[@bryanguegan6937]

Amazing as always. That helps for sure.

[@hadeeraliabdulbasir117]

Hi from Egypt! Your videos are absolutely great and helped me alot as a new driver, thank you! Can you share a video or tips how to maneuver or what do when faced with street bumps and troughs in the street? Thanks again!

[@ConquerDriving]

I'm happy to hear that. I have videos on both. Search speed bumps and I have a playlist for reversing.

[@Destro7000]

It's unfortunate that it's night when it usually happens, but slow down going through all villages/residential town areas. Give little horn honks for cats. My cat died to a truck driver in fog because she wasn't scared of cars, etc whatsoever being young and would walk out in front of them casually because other cars stopped for her in the daytime, so she had no fear and thought this was the 'car animal's normal behaviour to stop for her. It's beneficial for cats to fear cars.

[@GR-kn7mt]

Apart from animals I also hate driving at night because of bends. Many times can't use high beam, only just low beams and to catch the best curve on the bend is quite tricky especially with older cars equipped with non-xenon non-LED lights...

[@ConquerDriving]

It can be challenging, only go as fast as you can see.

[@WATCH_TOWER_MAN]

You're so, so amazing. Thank you.

[@stokes8762]

Would help if all the cat's eyes were working, thought they were self cleaning but there are long stretches on some roads with no reflection. Sometimes wonder if it's policy to remove them. Also unlit stretches of motorway are unforgivable.

[@annettakerley9838]

Thank you Richard a very helpful video. Just one question would you support night driving glasses as they tend to dim down the glare of on coming lights similar to the adjustable mirror.

[@ConquerDriving]

I haven't used them, although I would be worried if they're anything like sun glasses.

[@annettakerley9838]

@@ConquerDriving There not like sunglasses they give the same effect as the front mirror anti dazzle. Just wondered if you had used or know of them. If so would you recommend them.

[@sulmanmasih2953]

you are doing a great job Because there is a lot to learn from your videos . 🇵🇰

[@yawanane]

I was waiting for this!!!

[@digantaroy8152]

Please give suggestions on safely changing lane at night.

[@ConquerDriving]

It can be harder to judge distance with the glare from lights. I can only say be more careful, signal and only move if you're sure it's safe. Dimming the mirror can also help.

[@20shourya]

@3:42: 'should not avoid an animal' - I only follow it religiously if there is a cat around. If a puss is in sight there's nothing stopping me from petting it #kitteh

Besides fog when do you recommend you use your fog lights ? And does the rear fog light have the ability to blind “ cars behind ?

[@LouiseMcvey]

See when other cars pass is it dipped headlight then when nobody about full beam at night ? I’m new to driving at night and absolutely hate it 😂

[@angelchristinem]

i hate driving at night. if i could avoid it, i would not drive at night.

[@CatsForLife21]

Thanks. #OneMessageFoundation

[@ranao7219]

super great thank u so much

[@colettemikaelson160]

i don't enjoy night driving. the state of our roads is ridiculous. half the time lane markings are not visible and even worse if it's raining. you would think there would have been improvements in the paint they use for road markings to make them more visible at night and/or in rain by now lol

[@daviemac9925]

Absolutely not for me! I'm full of admiration for those who have to drive at night.

[@owen_003]

Did you mean to leave your car in 5th gear at 30 mph? I guess your car has very short gears!

[@dougscott7079]

Petrols are generally quite happy in 5th at 30, believe it or not! Avoid it on hills or in hazard-rich areas though.

[@preussen577]

My car is a petrol and although I would never do it, the car isn't going to stall even if I selected 5th gear at 25 mph. I find that 4th gear is usually best for 30 mph in my petrol though. I think in a diesel car there is less flexibility with the gears from my experience when I was learning in a diesel.

[@ConquerDriving]

All cars are different. I've driven a diesel Rav 4 that would only accept 3rd gear at 30mph yet my MX5 asks me to select 6th at 30mph even up a small hill and it's fine.

[@amansoni158]

You might want to change your camera settings for night videos

[@excellentgodsownvineyard4560]

Need you to teach me how to drive and I'm living in Manchester Openshaw

[@BichaelStevens]

What I can't prepare for is that most places are so dark, that the sky merges with the ground, and all cars today are black or gray, so ALL I see is 101 dazzling lights on black! AND EVERYONE WEARS BLACK! I LIVE IN A GOTH CITY! PEOPLE! PLEASE! PICK ANYTHING OTHER THAN F-ING BLACK!!!! YOU ARE *NOT* VISIBLE

[@BichaelStevens]

Learning to drive, I had to merge onto a bridge with INTENSE traffic and I failed miserably. I swear, they need to start putting a bright street lamp EVERY METER of high traffic areas, because all I see is a sea of headlights and nothing else

[@cruiserss1801]

Dazzle!!!!😅🤣
