Most videos here on KZbin, turning left there is hardly anyone in front of the instructors, I live in a congested suburban town, can you do MORE when there is many cars in front of you turning left, instead of just being you and maybe another car, because I know we have to decide if we can even put our car into the intersection if it’s to congestion but light is still active green. I’m still not confident on turning left in a left turn lane on a green light with a busy/congested intersection for driving test and for general driving. Thank you very much!

trust me, its not that hard. I mean it depends on what time you take it. If possible, take it in the morning when there is less traffic. If you do this, it will be easier. You have to pick up speed once you are in the acceleration lane and have ur blinker on. Do your shoulder check and mirror check as well than merge when safe. For exiting, decelerate/brake at the posted speed limit

That was great, Rick, thanks! Made me think: It was absolutely necessary for me to teach my driving students the S maneuver when I lived and worked in Toronto. Here, in Sudbury, Northern Ontario, not so much except for a few problematic intersections. I avoid doing it or teaching it here because other drivers don't expect it as part of their Northern driving experience. They are not familiar with the S maneuver up here, so when an on-coming driver sees me do the jig-jog, it kind of freaks them out a bit because they think I might be proceeding through the intersection right in front of them. You can watch them either start to slow down or veer to their right when I begin the maneuver to the left until they realize I've straightened my wheels out again. It's very useful in high traffic cities though.

Oh my goodness I been watching your vids , for my road test preparation for March 27th. But my biggest concern was the turning left as solid green light, and where do I yeild? At the line or in the intersection. Some instructors in videos said if your already in the intersection ima green light grinding to traffic across from you and might turn red yiur aldewdy legally over the line bc you came in at a green light so that’s not deduction I asked the girl I took a lesson with and she said to stop at the line at green light if I seen On coming traffic, not in intersection so many different things being said but I take your advice and my lesson lady because you both are saying same thing. So this was my biggest concern and I’m soooooo happy you have a whole video on this I’m a mom of two boys and I need to start driving . The woman said the test at the school I’m Doing it at is fairly simple compared to dmv and I don’t have to parallel park only reverse !!!! Yay And yes I had my lessons but I feel like there’s things I needed to to know that don’t get addressed the instructor was overly confident in me I think bc I come across as confident as well. And I am 25 LOL so . Well me and the instructor were talking about life the whole time . And about her relationship ship. I was giving her a lot of advice. And she is 4 years older then me but She was really interested on Mya device I even told her to exchange numbers Anyways Thankyou so much Rick for this video.

Rick, will the driving instructor tell you to move back into your right lane, or is that just something you need to know? Thanks!!
@smartdrivetest8 ай бұрын
Great question! It's just something that you need to do my friend. The examiner will NOT tell you to do that. However, if you drive in the left lane for a time and are holding up traffic s/he will assign demerit points. Drop us a note if we can help further. All the best, Cheers Rick

3:25 when you make this left turn as the light turns yellow, if you were made to wait for others cars that go through the yellow light and then have a red light as a result before being able to turn. Would that be a fail ?

@Smart Drive Test Hi, I just have one doubt. When I pull forward on a green light to turn left and I am looking at my left shoulder and there is a pedestrian there who just started the crossing. Should I wait before the pedestrian covers crosswalks completely on both sides or I can make a turn into the lane as the ped is still in the other lane?

@@smartdrivetest correct, sorry for not clarifying. Yeah the pedestrians on the cross street
@smartdrivetest3 жыл бұрын
Realize that this situation rarely, rarely happens. You'll have to make a split second decision owing to the fact that the pedestrians on the cross street are jay-walking. Are you going to stay where you are - and in most cases on a driver's test that would be a fail. And the second option is to go. Know that you own the intersection, and you're going to have to wait for them to clear. If it's that late in the light, I suspect the pedestrian is going to be running because the cross traffic is going to be going shortly. All the best, Cheers Rick

Hi I failed my road test for causing obstruction. I was the first car on stop line, had a solid green light but there was lot of oncoming traffic so decided not to enter the intersection as I was sure that there is no gap in the oncoming traffic and I cannot clear when the light is still green. Examiner told me that you must enter the intersection. Once oncoming traffic stops you will have your right of way. What is your opinion on this.

Some intersection will have an advanced green giving left turning traffic priority.

What's the proper procedure when two cars meet at the same time at an intersection from opposite directions but they both want to make left turns. I have always driven far enough into the intersection and turned left after the other car passes by my driver's side. But lately I'm noticing that the opposing left turners stop in the middle of the road and wait for me to turn left in FRONT of them. This seems crazy to me.
