You have no idea how watching your videos have inspired me to start driving at 43 yrs old after I received my license at 20yrs old, I was overwhelmed with fear and never bothered to drive because of it. I want to thank you! I almost want to cry

[@Zutobi_US]

[@drpamelamozingo4079]

I did my driving lessons as a 16 year old in California many years ago. Quite a few things stuck with me. But funny, I remember my instructor taught us to not rely on the mirrors. Or that’s what I remember, anyway. One day I realised that I don’t use the side mirrors nearly enough! Ive been more aware of that since that realization 😅

[@saidajesminarahman63]

Lane changes, that’s another thing which stuck! To establish lanes before making a change. In Southern California people don’t seem to do this anymore, what are they now teaching in Driver’s Ed? After many years overseas in a relaxed country, I’m now really scared to drive in San Diego 😞

[@Fred-mp1vf]

In my cars and light trucks, I have always adjusted my side mirrors so that I don't have blind spots. I don't need to see what's directly behind me through my side mirrors. Of course I make an exception in a truck that doesn't have the windshield mirror, provided the side mirrors have "fish-eye" mirrors.

[@RajmaniYadav-rx6kq]

So when you check your rearview mirror and see the cars headlights is that the cat directly behind you that your talking about or the car in the lane that you want to switch to ?

[@criss6945]

I for one use the blind spot mirrors so that I don't have to turn the head over my shoulder to do the check. I think that taking your eyes of the road is better to be avoided.

[@rjh2208]

How do you adjust your mirrors? I am 5’5 and i always have a hard time doing this

[@umahmed8832]

Is not like when u are slow so any advice

[@SY27196]

How to change lane ? I mean how much to steer ? Pls make video on that too

[@jameswylie-le8nl]

techinicallly your right passenger side mirror is set to far inside. you should not see any part of your car unless your leaning over to the right. Same applies to left driver side mirrors, you will greatly reduce your "blind spots" i will not get into poor hand positioning should be 9 and 3. Turns without shuffling the wheel, use hand over hand creates a better turn.

Can you let me know on different instances if there was a a double parked car and there was a vehicle coming toward you from the opposite direction (before you went or go around the double parked car) what would you need to do? Also if as you were going around the parked car and a car was coming toward you from the opposite direction what would you do then?

[@Zutobi_US]

When encountering a double-parked car with an oncoming vehicle, it's important to prioritize safety. If there is enough space, you can wait for the oncoming vehicle to pass before proceeding. If not, you may need to yield and wait for a safe opportunity to maneuver around the double-parked car. Always prioritize caution and follow the rules of the road in such situations.

[@monkeyb1820]

I was hoping this vid would cover proper adjustment of L and R mirrors. I can't get wife and daughter to understand that they're not for staring at the doors on the car, but rather they're supposed to be aimed a bit outwards. With proper adjustment, and monitoring the rear-view and side mirrors carefully, you know if someone is in blindspot and there's no need to turn entire head to look at blinds spot...

[@Alpha_7227]

How do you position your side mirrors. Can you still see your car door or do you extend them right out to cover your blind spot.

[@sharmainelc]

car door! Do head check for blind spot

[@Alpha_7227]

@@sharmainelc Yeah, I always do that, I'm over 50 so I can remember side mirrors that didn't move or have different lenses to cover your blind spot.

[@rosehinds8853]

😊 🙏 🤔 💭

[@glowiever]

one instructor said to do 10:90. that is, 10% car door, 90% outward. I find it adequate. also make sure the horizon is visible right at the center of the mirror.

[@Alpha_7227]

@@glowiever I just extend mine right out - I can't even see a trace of my car door. I find this is the best for my car. I can see a car in my rear view mirror and then it goes to my side mirror - Perfect.

[@gladysma308]

Sorry the following is for my own reference time slots: 😅 7:50 only lane changing if you can see in the rear mirror the headlights of the car behind. 10:17 start to drive is equal to lane change, and pull over, too.

Good but keep it short please.

[@Dontclickthis77]

Excellent. Thanks a lot... you say turn on signal when it is safe to make lane change. However, When you are entering freeway @ 7:37, you turned on left signal and then you saw there was a car on your left so you turned off signal!!. So my question, do we need to turn signal when entering freeway?....

[@jameswylie-le8nl]

yes
