I noticed a few checks I do that it looks like you don't. Probably not even worth of a minor, but thought I'd mentioned them anyway in-case anyone would like to engage in a discussion. 1. After waiting at traffic lights or pedestrian crossing, check left and right mirrors for overtaking bicycles or motorbikes before moving off. 2. When turning right and waiting for on-coming traffic a right mirror check before moving in-case of overtaking motorbikes. 3. After entering a new road (or on speed limit change to higher speed) centre and right mirror check for any overtaking vehicles before accelerating. 4. Lanes merging two-into-one side mirror and shoulder check on relevant side. 5. Entering a roundabout left mirror check for anyone straight-lining. 6. Reversing into bay on left do a right blind-spot check before frontend swings around, and visa versa.

Some fair points there indeed. , I personally always thought number 3 never seemed quite right when I was pdi (long time ago haha). If someone is likely to overtake you when you've merged, that means you probably shouldn't have merged. If when say turning right into a new road, you check mirrors before accelerating then you are encouraging cars to overtake simply by not accelerating. I see more faults for pupils emerging and not checking mirrors to see who might be catching them up, in case they need to accelerate 'more' (within limits) to avoid causing following car to slow down, rather than encouraging cars to overtake, which could be more dangerous. Hope that makes sense

@@Grahamvfr It's all about timing I guess. Obviously if you're taking your sweet time about getting on with it (accelerating) then you'll be getting in the way. But it's perfectly possible to complete a right turn, take update of surroundings, and start accelerating, all whilst a following vehicle is still taking the corner. For 99% of the time at least. For that one off time the guy is right up your arse, powersliding round the bend, they'll be overtaking regardless of how soon or not you accelerate. So probably best to just let them get on with it and be out of your hair.

@@AKAMustang yes I understand where you are coming from. Perhaps the routine should read : on entering a new road check mirrors to see if you need to 'come off' gas for overtaking vehicles. This would remove the inference that you are not in an accelerative state at that point... Which ofcourse you should be. Think we are both on same page 👍

Why does it feels as if the video is faster then usual, as if everything is happening quicker then usual. Maybe because I can't see the bonnet of the of the car.

Got to be the easiest drive round Castle I've ever seen.. No roadworks, no smart phone zombies stepping into the road, no 18mph taxis, no temp lights 8 metres from a fixed set of lights, nothing Gosh, I wish I could have just one day a week on the road in those conditions...

questions; 5;45 you mention waiting in the middle of a traffic light giving way to oncoming cars before turning at a green light. Regarding this, how many cars can wait in the middle? One or Two?

He means if there is space when on green pull forward to the point of turn and look for space, if there is room for 2 do it, just don't wait on box junctions if your exit is blocked off

If possible can you let me know your availability and mock test charges if any. So would like to have your comment on my driving. Await your reply.
