Observation Turning Right Clearly Explained

In this video I am going to look at right turns and specifically how to show proper observation at t-junctions and side roads. As you will see it's all about planning ahead and previewing the junction while not focussing on the one thing too much. You also need to keep th ehead and eyes moving so you can take in as wide an area as possible.

I really need to look all around when making and before that turn. And to signal on first before I move off. Or change direction and at the Stop sign. Where there is no line I stop at the sign. And I did 6 of my 12 Driving Lessons. So I done half of them so far. And I plan to do well when I do the next ones.

[@sarathrajan999]

Hi Dane, A couple of questions 1) One final look towards the left if turning right (with lots of head movements), and towards right if turning left- that is exactly what my instructor told me. But the tester graded me down saying he did not see me looking to the left (was a left turn) when turning left - he said but you looked right which is incorrect. 2) Checking blind spots while turning left or right by moving head sideways to the shoulder - graded me down 3)Meeting situations- car parked on the left side-and on coming cars but as I felt there was enough clearance space I proceeded - graded me down 4) Meeting situation again - different tester- Cars parked on either sides- bank opposite for 200 metres and oncoming traffic, I stopped/ yielded as I felt there was not enough room for 4 cars- graded me down as the tested felt there was enough space for 4 cars ….😢 5) Too much observations - different tester - closed junction with parked cars- tester told me only use your ‘peripheral vision’ which my instruction felt strange. 6) Roughly 12 metres from traffic lights on a 50km/hr road stretch, lights go amber/yellow- cars behind me didn’t stop as I felt it was unsafe- marked me down. 7) Road section speed limit is 50km/hr, but has ramps/humps every 150 or 200 metres- so I kept 20- 25 in 2nd gear -first time the tester graded me down that I did not progress by changing gears. 8) 2nd time with a different tester I shifted to 3rd gear and did roughly 30km/hr before lowering speed and shifting down to 2nd gear to clear the ramps, the tester marked me down saying you shouldn’t have done it as the ramps are there for a reason. Test centres- Raheny/ Killester - they have overlapping test routes and 90% of the roads are with ramps every 200 metres- only 10 percent js a road stretch where you could do a 50km/hr. Any advice ?!

@@DaneTygheletsdrive not really to be honest. The tester indicated that I wasn't being cautious enough and described it as 'flying observation'. I'm not even that clear if it was right turn from minor onto major at a T, or from major onto a minor, or both. But I will try to be extra observant for the next test. I didnt want to be too cautious either and lose marks for progression!

Hi, Hi! I can’t seem to find the information online anywhere. For an automatic, do you have to put the handbrake up and go into Park at traffic lights or do you keep your foot on the brake and stay in drive? Thanks so much!

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6uZdKmQnLd8hK8 This is my KZbin video on automatic cars and all will be explained there. At traffic lights use the handbrake and wait in Drive with your right foot ready over the acceleration pedal. That means you are showing confidence in your car and you're ready to go.

[@Bowen764]

New here Dane, opinions on going automatic rather than manual? Is it the future? I know my license would be only auto but still would like an opinion. Or point me in the direction of a video you made on this if you have. Thanks

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]

I don't have a specific video on automatic v manual but it certainly seems to be going the way of automatic as electric cars become more popular. Automatic is easy and pleasurable but at the moment choice is not as broad as the manual options. Manual is the safer and more practical choice right now. But in 5 years my answer will probably be different.

[@chanice7490]

Hi Dane, when reversing around a corner, when the turn is made just before you stop, it is aloud for me to steer my car more to the kerb if I’m too far out? Or am I marked on my initial space from the kerb after the turn? Thanks

When turning right on a mini roundabout when a car on the opposite side wants too turn into the same road, who has right of way? I get mixed up on this because the car on the opposite side has the turn closer.

Hey Dane! Great video as per usual 👏 I failed the test recently by one mark and the tester advised me to get a lesson or two before my next test as it's been over a year since I had my last lesson. Just wondering in your professional opinion how soon before the test should I do them? Would it be better to do one a week before it and then one on the week of it, or would it make more sense to do lessons as soon as I get a date and keep practising with the instructors comments in mind? Apologies for the essay! Míle buíochas!

[@DaneTygheletsdrive]
