Just passed my p3 Meeting situation Your video helps alot Thanks alot

[@JameelahYasmin]

Very helpful thank you. I struggle with this the most 😭

[@nataliescialo5730]

Super super helpful! Driving doesn't come very naturally to me and I feel much more confident about putting my weaknesses to practice after watching your videos. Especially as I don't have a car to practice in and rely on only a lesson every 1 or 2 weeks. Thank you! :)

[@randomthings560]

Did you had test?

[@mrsdopeyuk]

Got my test on Tuesday and this is what I'm dreading!

[@NoorNoor-dl2mh]

Thank you

[@cherryvintage4888]

This is the reason I haven't started yet although I have a car and license since last week. We have several of these kind of roads.we have only 1/2 width of the road shown at 3:29 for parked cars on one side and two way traffic

[@noonomar5425]

Hiya, very very useful thanks you. Planning &awarness and meeting situations is the main thing I’m getting judged on by my instructor atm otherwise I’m ready for my test, so yeah thanks you, will use your tips for sure👍🏽😊👍🏽

[@hybridangel3403]

Thank you, very helpful. Always helps a new driver.

[@ARYAN-KHAN78654]

Very good explanation, real time driving experience!!

[@gemma3767]

Good video! Excellent tutorial thank you!

[@nickychen4406]

Thank you for your videos, I watch your videos while learning . It is really HELPFUL, thank you! I wondered if you have any videos about contraflow system, please? I am really confused.

[@A.bd9]

Detailed explanation

[@manwar1238]

Thank you for the great video. Meeting traffic is one area my instructor wants me to work on, but we can’t predict if we’ll come across it in our next drive! Do you advise a right signal out after a hold back, at all?

[@sampadakhot6397]

this is very helpful, I failed in today's exam for judgment at meeting point :(

[@farjanaparveen8495]

THANKS SIR VERY HELPFUL VIDEO &GOOD EXPLAIN.

[@essarahmaty9436]

Thanks for your helpful videos. Could you please make a video on identifying the speed limits on different types of roads.

[@moroccanbangali6198]

What abouts in ome way road if 2 lines how to move to pass it nd do i have to signal or no

[@najan443]

Failed my test today for meeting. 1 serious and 1 driver fault

[@atinukesijuwade5994]

What’s acceleration sense

[@siajames1536]

I have currently pay for my theory test but still not confident to take it I keep changing the date hmmm

[@GetDriving]

Hey Sia keep revising! Use one of the apps to help you and do mock tests. They'll help you know when you're ready and don't be afraid of failing. The driving tests are the most calm tests you'll ever take... If you fail it you just do it again till you get it right 😊

[@khatraadam540]

The explanation was good , very information , that is my weakness point in driving , LADA I will apply it and thanks you a lot . 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@GetDriving]

We are thrilled to hear that it helped!

[@sportcrayzee]

This is very helpful to watch between driving lessons. So thorough! Thank you ☺️

[@ana-andreeadinica6713]

Such a variety of real life situations encaptured in one video and all so clearly explained. Very helpful. Considerate of all traffic participants including the driver, giving good clues of how not to get stuck and keep the flow of traffic moving.

[@GetDriving]

Glad it was helpful!

[@IIAryanMajmudarII]

I passed yesterday, and throughout the whole test, I kept on thinking about this video and vocalising spaces I was seeing during meeting situations. Thank you so much for the help!!

[@yasminkhninech1624]

Been driving 3 years but still watch this guy! Hes gold🎖

[@elvinafernandes]

At 4:58, you’ve waited on the zig zag lines, was that obstructing the traffic behind you coming from the left of you? I am wondering if I stopped like that on a test whether the examiner would think I’m a hazard to other road users 11:20 as well, you’ve waited at the junction opening , so wouldn’t the examiner feel I’m obstructing traffic trying to come out and perhaps go in the opposite direction? Having failed 3 tests so far, I question everything 😖

[@fatimaal-habib5851]

Passed my test in redditch yesterday (3rd attempt) i binge watched your videos the night before 😅please continue to make these great videos

[@DidiRussia]

Hi Francis, thank you so much for the content, this is much appreciated for us learners ! I was wondering if it is possible to have some videos/advices on automatic ? Thanks a lot !

[@TheMinaProject]

I watch your videos before each of my driving lessons and they have made me much more confident. Thank yoooou!

[@GetDriving]

That's great to hear! We hope your lessons are going well :)

[@andyuxui]

This is so helpful, I really like the description on acceleration sense and highlighting passing places, I have walked down Abbeville Road a lot of the times and I can see how taxing it is to drive through as its very narrow with parked cars and gets really busy, particularly at home time as its close to Bonneville School! Thank you!

[@AKtuallyme]

Good stuff. The steering technique you use at 10:29 I use the same too but my instructor thinks that I’ll be marked down for that with a driving fault. Any thoughts with that style of steering?

[@CarlTheDrivingInstructor]

This is palming and could mean a mark down or a fail if you lose control by hitting a pot hole, you have to remember Francis is very experienced

[@amyroberts4071]

Hi 👋🏻 been learning to drive since February this year and recently been having trouble with when to hold back, meeting traffic etc. This video is super helpful and will keep rewatching it to help my learning 😁 x

Thanks for an excellent video Francis. I was asked to look this up by my driving instructor so I am keen to put it into play in tomorrow’s lesson.

[@swan5446]

This is my biggest problem and this is great training for me thank you so much.

[@TEA-SIR-KINGIII-QUEENII]

3:46 aaarrghh why is my instructior asking me "what do we do here? Yes we signal so the other drivers know your intention " why does he say that if not necessary, I'm so confused 😐

[@LM-zg9il]

This helped me pass. Thanks, Francis!

[@DrivingTestMordan]

Hello, thank you for this wonderful video on meeting. Very useful and well explained. I've been putting into practice what you teach. I have a slight off topic question. How do you get the speed, revs and gear Get Licensed animation? Is it based on data from your dashcam? How do you do it? It's so cool.

[@sakiluddin7137]

I want you to make a video about how to turn right and left on the road and when to turn

[@al-anoud-123]

Lovely stuff, you make driving looks easy and fun but in reality it is much more complicated lol

[@anmedia7747]

My lesson today was turn into roads and how to firmly break and stir the wheel this was perfect!

[@paulbrown1471]

well done Francis i learn more and more each time watching your videos thanks x

[@jessicasequera6070]

Your videos are so clear Frances- thank you! I have learnt a lot from all of your videos:)

[@mistycat1954]

Why are you only using one hand on the steering wheel for long lengths of time when narrating ? A couple of times you took both hands off the steering wheel .

[@mizzGigglez94]

Please post the outtakes lool. I wanna see the video's of how not drive with terrible drivers you would most probably encounter. xD

[@GetDriving]

Could be an idea for the future😂 Keep an eye out

[@kashifsultanahmed847]

Excellent information and video ❤

[@nkeiruezeh4257]

I passed yesterday. Thank you so much for the videos

[@maitridajames1997]

Really helpful revision. Only passed my test last week and am now driving and meeting lots of situations on my and it's really useful to check I'm doing the right thing (or not!).

[@sherwinsalvatori6997]

A motorcyclist and first time car owner. Will it be easier to navigate on road

[@Therianlife100]

Meeting situations and nit reacting in time is my downfall at a minute. im on my mocks

[@adelinaciubotariu4480]

The problem that I have with meeting traffic, sometimes I feel I don't have enough room and the driver instructor it's telling me yes I have room, and sometimes I feel I have room and the driver instructor it's helping me and say no you need to stop. Why it's this happening?

[@GetDriving]

This will just come with experience, the more you drive the better understanding you will have in terms of gaps in the road.

[@WeeklyTemplates]

Can you do a vid on mini roundabouts and how to not hesitate too much

[@yuminchen6146]

I failed my test and got marked on road positioning. The tester said in the residential areas, I stayed out for too long. However, I didn't want to weave in and out when there's another obstruction ahead so of course I stayed out for the whole time. OK I changed my ways and try to stay in for as long as possible, and I failed another test again and got marked on anticipation. The tester said I should've anticipated and moved out earlier when I see a parked car. Fudge, whatever I do they pick faults.

[@GetDriving]

We are sorry to hear that you failed 😞 Practice makes perfect though! Hopefully next time is better. Let us know how it goes!😎😎

[@virenageorgieva4136]

Loved this video! Super helpful

[@nattydora]

First lol u hot driving instructor 👀😂

[@GetDriving]

😉

[@lovejetfuel4071]

If you are going down a road, and there is space for two cars,meeting, and you hold back anyway, is that a fault on the test?

[@GetDriving]

Hey good question it depends on the situation. If you totally misjudged the huge gap and braked hard and confused the car behind then probably a fail. If the gap is really small where you'd have to squeeze thru and you waited that would be ideal.

[@lovejetfuel4071]

@@GetDriving A+ Answer, Thanks again

[@mariamarighthere]

Amazing video! What do you mean when you say half in half out for the hold back position?

[@naomiglow8287]

Thanks for your videos, It gave me many tips and techniques to pass my bus driving test. As I needed to work on mirrors, my forward planning and awareness. I did it. Many thanks 😂

[@balkhan16]

Thankyou lol @francis

[@christabel222]

Amazing well explained

[@deanhickton9644]

Quick question one thing I struggle with is if there is enough room to get through sometimes as you'll all know it can be very touch and go, so I tend to slow down and sometimes even gently slow to a stop if it's couple of cars coming through. However once or twice cars behind me have given me a bad time! Even if the oncoming cars thank me haha 😅 it's a strange one as the car behind must of felt there was enough room to get through. Did I do anything wrong or was the car behind just being impatient? Meeting traffic situations is definitely the most scary for me since passing my test. I also hate side street parking between two cars haha 😆 any advice would be greatly appreciated 👍

[@mariomullinisimundemitakon7473]

My problem is road signs

[@zakquinn5420]

I still don’t quite get why you stopped at 11:25 ..couldn’t you have just moved forwards? And the other cars just wait?

[@UltimateD755]

This is my area lol

[@roshinimano2719]

Thank you so much for this video. I completely struggle with this element and I started crying after my driving lesson because I did not understand what I was doing wrong and because I suffer with driving anxiety. This video was soo helpful. I wish you were my instructor :( Please could you be so kind and maybe do a video on how to tackle different kind of roundabouts? Thank you

[@juancarlosjaramillopaz7013]

Francis I'm from Colombia I'm learning to drive in the UK thank you very much for your videos so helpful weldone .

[@Goat.Herder]

Very good mate 👍

[@isaactapiwanasheshamu3751]

Hi Francis, that was a fantastic video and well explained. I had a question however surrounding meeting situations. At times when you are on the main road and have parked cars on your side with the opposite flow of traffic having none or a couple of cars, in what situations would you hold back and in what situations could you still go but slow down? This is all in mind of the fact that there are no passing places when parked cars are on your side predominantly.

[@himarktuan]

i’m so bad at this 😭 this video rlly helped especially the real life situations, thank you!!!

[@naomibenjamin7992]

Hello, Thank you so much for this video. Its made such a difference to my meeting situations! Cannot thank you enough x

[@yasminabedin4276]

a video on how to follow road signs would also be useful

[@rebeccajones9880]

Hello when I approach traffic lights or junctions I am unsure if I have stopped on a really slight uphill road or on a flat road so when I set off sometimes I stall when it is slightly uphill, do you have any tips on how to differentiate whether it's slighty uphill or flat?

[@GetDriving]

It honestly just comes with practice! Once you get the feel for the clutch in your car, you will easily be able to determine what force you need in order not to stall. You got this💪
