Nice video, could you also put a camera to show the pedals? This gives us an idea when you press the brakes and with which intensity.

[@Zutobi_US]

Thank you for your suggestion! We appreciate your feedback and will consider showing the pedals in future videos. Stay tuned for more informative driving content!

Do you have a video showing when you are going to release your gas when approaching the roundabout or curves? Also, technique of signalling right when you are about to exit the roundabout. I struggle with my left hand in making a right signal when I am about to exit the roundabout while I am steering the wheel.

Thanks! Where I live, there’s only 1 highway, and it’s very windy and is a bit nerve racking when you’re having to do turn after turn while going 100kmh / 60mph 😅 because each curve is different it’s a little bit difficult to navigate/judge how much the steering wheel needs to be turned

[@jamisona.5639]
