You explain using simple terms, with actual thought/explanation, not blindly following rules + taking much care for every detail. Thanks for this video!

[@a1trainingservices]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!

Helpful explanation of lane discipline, Thank you. Splitting a lane too much on a tight right turn cost me my 3b CE test last week, car squeezed past on my right👎. Watching this hopefully will help with my retest next week.

[@a1trainingservices]

Best of luck!

Thank you for the video, I am sure that took a bit of editing with the rear/side view camera being added in. Just a question, if at 11:59 you had moved forward and your trailer was blocking that crossing, would that be a minor fault or a serious fault? I assume the latter, would just like to know :)

[@a1trainingservices]

Hi! Yes your correct if you block the crossing you would fail. Thank 🚛

[@Scotty93Yellow]

My instructor doesn’t tell me to check the in front when pulling away just the blind spot and both side mirrors?

[@a1trainingservices]

It’s important to check what’s in front of you before moving off.

[@BoswellZacheus]

Great

[@a1trainingservices]

Thanks!

For the bus lane part, given it said 7am-7pm, if you’re outside those times (judging by daylight you werent) but it is correct to use that lane as a normal running lane?

[@a1trainingservices]

Thanks for the comment, you can use them after 7pm through the night until 7am the next morning. We filmed during the afternoon so we were not allowed to use the lane during that time.

[@caolkyle]

@@a1trainingservices Yeah thought that given the time of day it looked. It annoys me as I see too many mortorists see a bug lane and lose the plot and get scared. Had a P plate car force their way over despite no need for it and then go 25 in a 40, so had to press brakes pretty harshly but gladly kept my cool since it was a P user lol

[@furiouzzzz]

Instructor can change his mind on the egzam? Hahah that's dumb

[@a1trainingservices]

Sorry what’s the egzam?
