My instructor was fed up with me turning left or right without hitting the curve and not staying in the left lane, also not always gonna answer my questions, but watching your videos makes me feel better

[@xyzrayzyx]

I started learning to drive, third lesson in a couple days, and I found this video has been the most helpful in making me stay in position and making me feel more confident. My driving instructor says I've been learning fast, but I think it's coz of all these techniques I've implemented. I especially like the leg technique for finding the middle of the lane. On my first lesson I swirved left and right a lot, but now I don't have that problem.

[@auroraskye8730]

I tried this technique and although I didn't get to grips with it on the turning aspect at the time, it certainly helped on the straight. I forever veer to the left and my instructor has to push the wheel away from the kerb or parked cars, which was getting to me somewhat. I applied your technique and she didn't have to touch the steering wheel once. The best thing about this tip is that it takes the job away your eyes in a sense, as it's more of a "feel" approach. Thanks.

[@ConquerDriving]

You're welcome, it's much harder to get it to work on then bend. I normally need to give loads of help and encouragement to get it to work. It's all about aiming at the right spot, not steering to early, not being afraid of the curb and adding enough steer for your left leg to go on the middle of your new lane after the bend.

[@Inspirationdiaries]

@@ConquerDriving your videos are amazing! 👌👏🙌

[@neoshenlong]

I just wanna say the "position yourself" advice was one of the first ones I got from your videos and it was amazingly useful. It helped me position a lot a better from one lesson to the next only by changing my mindset.

You've just described one of my main issues while driving. One of my instructors (got two) actually pointed this out on several occasions (centering and cornering) but even though he noticed it he was unable to give me some proper tips. I drive on the right side (so I'm on the left side in the vehicle) and I'm a bit skeptical of right leg being in the center of the road, but I'm gonna try this out during my next lesson. I've done 10 out of 15 sessions and recently it feels to me like I'm supposed to learn how to drive by myself and the instructor is just there to stop me from causing an accident and point out stuff I'm doing badly. I'm really glad I came across your channel because you actually give tips and how to fix driving mistakes and you don't just point them out. Keep up the amazing work!

In my city in NA there are a lot of junctions with two left turning lanes (equivalent to right turns in the UK) that will have a dotted line to help guide parallel traffic into their respective lanes after the turn. It is the best place to demonstrate how bad many people are at judging their trajectory through a turn, as I often see drivers cross over the line and honk at eachother in these sorts of features.

[@kevbacon9020]

THe dude in the first Road Test was so fast with commands, and i did needed more experience. I just knew when I made that right turn I failed.
