if i would brake like that i could go home hahah

[@james7235]

Thank you for all your video's, they have been very helpful using them in combination with my lessons. I understand you check all your mirrors before you indicate, then a right shoulder check is necessary before pulling off from stationery, but do you need to look behind over your left shoulder as shown in your video to pass your driving test? This isn't something my instructor is teaching me.

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

The left shoulder check isn’t usually as important as the right check (assuming you are parked on the left side of the road) but would be necessary when manoeuvring in open places like a car park. We recommend checking both every time, just in case.

[@na-up6gs]

do you put car into park after you emergency stop as this what my examiner told me to do

This car is a manual, so doesn’t have a park setting so we selected Neutral and applied the handbrake. Of course in an automatic car Park should be used 👍🏼

can i ask sounds silly but that seems far to slow i thought was a lot more quicker

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

The camera just doesn’t show how hard we braked. Remember that we need to stay in full control during the emergency stop - so simply stamping on the brake pedal and relying on the car’s ABS isn’t the best technique, as it would lose control in older cars.

[@Matthew_M11]

@@AdvanceDrivingSchool I don't get that logic. If you're in a newer car with ABS and emergency stop assist and a kid runs out in front of you should you just stop like you're in a car from the 1980s?

[@evestmwaetako5727]

Are we not supposed to put on hazard.

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

You can if you think it will help someone, but it's not compulsory.

[@joannericoph]

emergency lights should be turned on, right? so the car at the back would be forewarned.

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

No, in an emergency the most important thing is to stop the car as quickly as possible. Doing anything else, such as checking the mirrors or turning on the hazards lights will waste time and extend our stopping distance. If you didn't know, modern cars sense emergency braking and automatically flash their brake lights, to indicate heavy braking to following traffic!

[@SuperVitz]

Thank you for putting these out. What happens if you actually need to do a harsh braking or emergency stop during the driving test? Obviously we should try to anticipate and plan for things, but if we don't react to something in time, and instead do an emergency stop, do our 360 degree checks and set off, would the examiner be happy with that?

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

It all depends on the situation you are in. If a real emergency happens in front of you, then braking as quickly as possible is the right thing to do. However, if we do a poor job with our forward planning and put ourselves in a position where we are forced to brake suddenly, then we should expect to be given a fault.

[@SuperVitz]

[@iyb5378]

Great video - super helpful guys! I will do my test in a 67 plate Mazda2 so it's quite modern and has ABS. For carrying out the emergency stop, should I press the brake first then clutch very shortly afterwards as you did in this video, or both together? Cheers.

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

In a real emergency the most important thing is to react fast and stop the car as quickly as possible - it doesn’t really matter when the clutch pedal is pushed, as long as the car doesn’t stall!

[@iyb5378]

@@AdvanceDrivingSchool Brilliant guys, thanks for the quick clear reply.

[@MsMagician0]

Alert to all : Yesterday as a beginner I got brake checked , stopped an inch before hitting the car in front of me. Consider this as an important and crucial part of your driving exam which can save your life. If I didn't hit the brakes , I would definitely crash into it with the speed of 60km/h.

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

Thanks for the advice. Brake checking is a really dangerous thing to do - and if there was a collision the car in front would be to blame. This is also a good reminder to keep a safe following distance from the vehicle in front, in case there is a real emergency and they stop suddenly. We see so many other drivers following each other far too close - well done for stopping in time!

[@tessc-b1886]

I was told that you shouldn't put the clutch down until after you've started braking, is that not the case?

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

The most important thing is to react quickly and brake hard. It doesn’t really matter that much exactly when we push the clutch down.

[@vernondourado1218]

Is there a need to put on hazard lights after making an emergency stop?

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

We’d definitely use the hazard lights in a real emergency - but on the driving test it probably won’t be necessary. However, you can use them if you think someone else would benefit 👍🏼

[@Gourmondise]

On the video the driver turns the engine off after doing the maneuver. Is this something that me as a learner have to do?

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

It was probably the car’s ‘auto-stop’ system stooping the engine automatically. You don’t need to manually switch your engine off during this exercise.

[@srikanthdintakurthi7911]

So in this emergency stop, when did he apply the hazard light? If we are on top speed then is it good to apply break + clutch or only break?

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

There was no need to use the hazard lights in that situation - however in a real emergency we would probably turn them on to warn following traffic. The clutch only needs to be pushed just before the car stops, to prevent the engine stalling.

[@lovinallthingsmac]

I’m learning in an automatic, how hard is acceptable? Also do I turn the engine off after making the car safe or just put it into park then handbrake? Thank you I’m advance

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

Always brake very hard for the emergency stop - even if the ABS is used there will be no problem on the test. Once stopped in an automatic, select Park to secure the car before driving away. There is no need to use the handbrake or switch the car off. 👍🏼

[@lovinallthingsmac]

@@AdvanceDrivingSchool that’s great thank you 🙂

[@ProfessorTrashuo]

Can you fail by slamming on the brakes too harshly? The entire car shook and my instructor said not to do it like that :(

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

No, you can’t fail for braking too hard - as the car’s ABS system will help you stay in control.

[@NeueEMSigeZeitung]

Hello. Bremsweg in Metern? Danke

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

"Braking distance in meters?" - The Highway Code does state approximate stopping distances (which includes thinking distance and braking distance) for example 30mph is 23 meters. However these will vary greatly depending on many factors so are only an estimate.

[@AndyXGumede]

Sooo what if the car is moving really fast?

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

On the Driving Test if they do the Emergency Stop exercise it will normally be in a 30mph zone. However in ‘real life’ an emergency could happen anywhere so you must be ready to stop from any speed!

[@damiandobransky2893]

i was taught to press both clutch and brake at the same time. is it ok?

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

Yes 👍🏼

One test in three will be asked to do this.

[@arifmahmood600]

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

If they do the emergency stop routine on the driving test, it is usually in a 30mph zone.

[@arifmahmood600]

@@AdvanceDrivingSchool I have to give driving test as adi stage 2 in dublin, ireland. What you think at which speed should I try this emergency stop?

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

Just drive at your normal speed for the road / traffic conditions, and be ready to react when they say stop!

[@migo8286]

how we need to do with an automatic car ? Couldnt find anything on youtube. Do we have to use our left foot for emergency stop just to make it stop quickier and also harsh. Or we should still use our right foot to stop ?

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

It’s exactly the same as a manual car, except there is no need to push a clutch pedal. Just use whatever foot you normally use to brake with, as it will feel more natural 👍🏼

[@Kain987]

@@AdvanceDrivingSchool What in God's green earth? Are you saying people out there learn to brake with their LEFT foot?! Ok, I may have driven a manual for 15 years before getting a car with a dual clutch transmission... but... Right foot for gas & brake is what I use. I can't imagine using my left foot since that's used for the clutch. Brake pedals feel nice & soft when pushed with the right foot, giving ample feedback as to the force applied. When pushed with the left foot, it's just a really short and hard pedal that kicks in ABS the moment I touch it. Not to mention that whoever is doing this could still have their right foot on the throttle, thus limiting braking effectiveness & possibly causing a crash if they release the brake at any point when they should be stopping.

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

@@Kain987 Yes - in some countries drivers are taught to drive with both feet in an automatic. We made a video about it here: Left Foot Braking An Auto: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4nCq2mFi8iDm7M

[@bensummerfield592]

do you need to check any mirrors before braking or is it just straight on the breaks?

No - as in a real emergency it wouldn't matter what was behind us, we would still brake hard anyway.

@@AdvanceDrivingSchool it's crazy isn't it

[@ryanmcauley4602]

why push the clutch down straight away? you would be loosing engine braking. when not push the clutch last second?

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

The brakes are powerful enough to easily lock the wheels when braking hard - so extra engine braking won’t make any difference.

[@ehtishamkhurshid6997]

Can we fail test if we didn't push in clutch

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

Not usually. If we stall the engine but quickly restart then it should only be a minor fault. However - if we block the road for some time and get in people's way then a serious fault might be given.

[@siamabegum8627]

Hi I’ve been practicing my emergency stop here and there and it’s been fine but I’ve noticed recently that the ABS gets on when I do my emergency stop. I noticed on ur video there was a little stopping distance when the brake was applied. My stopping distance is a lot less so I’m assuming I brake to harsh and quick. Have u got any hints on making sure I don’t release the ABS??

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

I think the wide-angle lens on the camera makes objects look further away than they are really - as the car did stop quickly. Anyway, triggering the ABS isn’t a problem on the test so you don’t need to worry if it happens. ABS will only work if we exceed the limit of the tyres grip, but the slippery roads in winter make this fairly easy at the moment.

[@siamabegum8627]

Advance Driving School Thanx for the reply but I’m really confused as my instructor tells me it’s a fail if I trigger the abs! Well it may not be triggered but the car makes a rumbling sound as if braking in snow if u understand! I didn’t really understand what u said about the weather condition if u can please explain! Appreciate it 🙂

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

The rumbling sound is probably the sound of the ABS working. In cold or wet weather there is less tyre grip to the road so it’s easier to skid than in good conditions. To prevent skidding (and activating the ABS) try ‘pressing’ the brake pedal, instead of ‘stamping’ on the pedal. This will be better when driving older cars that don’t have ABS!

[@siamabegum8627]

Advance Driving School thank u. I really appreciate your replies. Just wanted to ask a question not related to this topic please. If I’m stationery on the side of the road and there is a fast flow of traffic and I want to move off... should I signal? Or should I wait for a gap and then signal or if traffic flow is slow then signal?? I have been getting different answers... wanted to see what u would advise please!!!!

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

In a real emergency our main focus is avoiding whatever is in front of our car - there is no time to warn following drivers. We must hope that they are paying attention and can stop before hitting us.

[@SaMOa0a]

Thank you so much for replying . Your channel is great .

[@loki1066]

If someone wants to do it properly , listen to Gun_man 123

[@FriendlyNeighbourhoodSpidey]

But he's wrong

[@derrick4525]

That emergency brake was the worse one ever. The proper way to do it is, Press the clutch and the brake firmly at the same time.

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

That’s exactly what we did! It just doesn’t look that impressive from outside.

[@wumpty93]

Hassan 4Life "Press the clutch and brake firmly at the same time" Wrong! The brake always goes down first because engine braking accounts for 30% of your total braking power, using the clutch with the brake as soon as you do an emergency stop losses that extra braking power and this can prove the difference between hitting and killing a child or just causing a near miss. The clutch pedal comes down just before the car stalls

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

Actually it doesn't make any difference when you push the clutch down - as any modern car's brakes are more than capable of locking the wheels when applied in an emergency situation. This then means that once the car is braking the only thing that makes any difference to the stopping distance is the tyres grip to the road - which will vary depending on the tyres condition / ABS system / weather / type of road etc. Even if the driver forgets to push the clutch in a real emergency the car will stop just as quickly, but with a stalled engine of course.

[@derrick4525]

Gun_man 123 The brake pedal comes down first, (half way) and then you put the clutch all the way down. And you put the brake pedal fully down. That’s when you’re braking normally but when there’s a kid running in front of you, you have to put the clutch and the brake pedal down at the same time. I’ve been driving for nearly 10 years, so you can’t tell me anything about cars.

[@DanielBrennan9]

That's great, except for when you're not in a modern car with ABS.

[@LA_LA310]

I watched this video it’s completely wrong, incorrect. In my experience the driver should grip the steering wheel firmly as the guy in this video is not gripping firmly and correctly Sorry 😐

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

There is never any need to grip the steering wheel tightly. If you do you won’t be able to steer away from danger, or feel any feedback from the front wheels. Just grip the wheel hard enough that you have good control of the car.
