Technique for approaching junctions and hazards - makes driving easier. (two stage stop)

[@artemkatelnytskyi]

It must take years of experience to realise this, but you managed to put into words and demonstrate it. I haven't seen anybody use this teaching method before. I think it's superb, Richard! Thank you for the upload.

[@ConquerDriving]

I think it's something most of us do to a lesser extent when experienced at driving but we don't tend to notice it.

[@keld2701]

I’ve just passed my test in January but I’ve hardly been out in car since😬 I have no confidence and feel as if I’m not in control ( the cars alot older than my instructors new 21 plate auto handbreak no t much gas to go etc) but I’m really struggling in it I’ve got the fear I’m always going to stall and I can’t get over it. Any advice 🤞

[@artemkatelnytskyi]

@@keld2701 I guess the option to take a couple of lessons with a driving instructor, or an experienced driver is always there. Although, it is better to go to an instructor, because if you drive with a family member it can be very awkward. They may not even know _how_ to help, even though they are good at driving. Or just take it slow and practice 😃.

[@keld2701]

@@artemkatelnytskyi cheers I think that’s been the problem I’ve went out with family member and I think it’s made me even more nervous I need to try and go out in the car myself but my nerves are getting the better of me. The thought of stalling fills me with dread 😬

[@artemkatelnytskyi]

@@keld2701 Going out with an instructor definitely takes that pressure off. And also if you practice on their car they have dual controls which will hopefully make you feel even more secure.

[@PH079x]

It was schockingly funny how well you portraited the thoughts of a leaner / new driver - I definitely saw myself there lol thank you for explaining so well and helping us all drive better :D

[@samuelbrenya1426]

Is there a reason why this gentleman hasn’t won a world driving instructors award yet??? Well maybe there isn’t such an award 🥇 but trust me you win. You’re too good a teacher. In fact you’re the best human being on the planet. I bet I could watch your videos and pass my driving test without having to deal with the typical “thickness of a pound coin instructors. 😀😀

[@greatdara]

Richard is the best instructor I have seen yet! Explaining each and every detail bit. Getting into learners shoes and explaining our perspective so well and then teaching us. Hands down you are the Best. 🙏

[@dileepkrishnan4276]

Man! I have seen driving lesson videos from India, Australia, US, The Netherlands, Germany and some others from the UK and I can tell you this for once and for all. You are simply one of the best if not the best! Be very proud of that!

[@stephenallen4635]

this is exactly what my instructor was trying to explain to me but the visuals here really let it sink in for me

[@omar7909]

When I started driving like this it made driving so much more relaxing. Sometimes I have to tell myself that I am not holding up traffic by doing this, as there is no where for the persons behind me to go, anyway. Have had a couple knobheads honk at me though.

[@MadSniper553]

Just ignore the idiots mate , I have the same problem even though the light literally just turned green 😂

[@UsmanKhan-mx9ll]

and whenever they see a learner car they feel the need to overtake it even if i’m doing the speed limit and not slowing them down.

[@MadSniper553]

@@UsmanKhan-mx9ll yep happened today when I was on the roundabout, didn’t let him through. Don’t let idiots bully you when you’re driving 👍🏻

[@notoriousmole]

Passed yesterday with 4 minors. Woke up and still feel compelled to watch your informative videos. Had this fresh in my mind when I was out driving on my own for the first time today. Great stuff, thanks for the amazing content you continue to push out for free.

[@ConquerDriving]

That's great to hear, I hope you enjoy your licence.

I'm an older learner and I feel like I'm making up for lost time by watching your videos! So much clarity. Thank you 😊

😂😂😂😂 the way I feel violated watching this video. the inner monologue with the sound effects, the accuracy of all the thoughts, it's like you're pulling them right out of my head....I know 2 things for sure: [1] you've been there and done that. [2] you've come a long way on your journey as a driving instructor. If I hadn't already subscribed, this would have been the video that finally gets me to do so, thumbs up for this great clip.... sensational.

6:21 that well-timed jogger as you said "jogging speed" lol

[@jutendouji]

Hey man, just wanted to say thank you for all your content. I'm an experienced driver from abroad (20 years driving), and been living in the UK for the last year. Today I passed my practical, and your channel was massively helpful in understanding the quirks of driving on UK roads. It is really much appreciated that you do this, and anyone looking to learn how to drive properly, and is in the process of doing so, is in the right place. Again, thank you!

[@ConquerDriving]

That's great news, congratulations on passing!

[@author4216]

Passed today with 4 minors in heavy rain ! Thank you so much for all the videos ! I will keep watching them to become a better driver !

[@Beepkris]

Hi Richard! I just passed my exam here in Norway and wanted to thank you. This video was especially helpful for me personally in learning how to keep calm in traffic. I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that I am really thankful for the work you put in!

[@ConquerDriving]

That's great news, congratulations on passing!

[@Hot.dorito]

One thing i learned is learning what gear you will need at the junction you are approaching. Some roundabouts let you be in 3rd gear, other that are smaller usually will need gear 2 like doing 90 degree turns. I feel like once you understand what you will be doing, you will learn to prepare for it. So if you know you are turning you will slow to second gear before hand making it easier to drop to first gear if for example a person is crossing. Pre planning is very good skill to have in driving, it is what i feel to be the main skill

[@sorinadrian6268]

You make everything so much easier! I passed my exam a few months ago but I will always come back here to fine tune my skills. Thank you!

[@jackhenderson2562]

I love watching these after ive passed over a year ago and reminiscing on how i spent all night before my test watching these videos

People may think it's useless but let me make it clear for them. I learned every driving tip from his video's and one of my friends only guided me driving practically for 1 hour for 4 days, and now am a perfect driver!! Many thanks to him!!

[@jamescairns4051]

Thanks so much for the rationale behind the decisions we are advised to take as learner drivers. It’s all to easy to say “do this” or “don’t do this” but actually validating it with reasons and justification helps so much. James Ps. Awesome shoes!

[@alfiefarrell]

Richard! Here is my obligatory thank you to you and your videos. I only had 4 lessons so felt a tad unprepared, your videos helped clear up all those little things I needed to know; I passed today with 5 minors! You’ve heard it a thousand times but I’ll tell you again; your videos show the perfect demonstrations, your delivery is spot on and you come across as a really nice guy. So a huge thank you for what you do, please keep at it. I would seriously consider setting up a Patreon or equivalent so people can make a little donation to say thank you to you! I would love to buy a coffee/pint to say thanks 😁

[@ConquerDriving]

That's really great to hear and that's very kind of you. Congratulations on passing!

[@Neodymium21]

Just wanted to say a massive thank you for your help and work on this channel, I passed earlier today! The upload consistency and way of presenting your videos really stands out and helps me as someone who suffers with anxiety worse when driving compared to other channels. Your scenario specific videos are also really helpful too. Keep up the good work :)

[@ConquerDriving]

That's so great to hear, congratulations on passing!

[@metcalfestarfish]

This was a great video and very informative. Thanks. Regarding going down the gears one at a time. That is a way my instructor taught me, and once I was more confident I would drive my own car with friends and family. They told me that I was making things more complicated and just to go into 2nd as I slow down instead of down to 4th, then 3rd and into 2nd. When I was back with my instructor I came up to a junction and slowed down, I was in 4th and skipped 3rd straight to 2nd and my instructor yelled at me for it. Saying "I don't know where that's come from but I haven't taught you to do that" and made me feel like I had done something wrong.

[@ConquerDriving]

You can do it either way on test.

[@JaSa2502]

Your driving lessons are very important for Indian roads, because jam-packed narrow roads requires you to drive perfectly for your own car safety. Thanks a lot Rich.

12:03 Can’t agree more. I’m still a learner and struggle a lot in entering junctions or roundabouts. After watching this video and your videos detailed explaining clutch control and smoothly shifting of gears, I regain my confidence in learning driving. Thank you so much and I can’t appreciate enough that your unreserved sharing your knowledge to us.

[@sandratrarambeloson6840]

Even if your videos are designed for UK learners (because of the driving in left side of the road), they are still very useful for the rest of the world as they address exactly the questions learners have in mind. For instance, i have already my license because of how easy it is to get it in my country but i still watch your videos because there are still many things that are not obvious for me. I tried to watch different channels that drive on the right side but either they omit some useful details that they think are obvious or they are drifting away from the main subject with too much talk.

7/14/22 5:03 - three-stage stop (change down in second gear while about to go there-junctions or hazards-, slow down to walking speed in first gear if it is still not clear whether there is an opportunity to pass, lastly, stop the car if there really is no opportunity)

[@angusdyson248]

This video highlights the time honoured tradition of ensuring that the driver tracks the speed and gear together all the time... thereby insuring that the car is in the correct gear prior to it being asked to accelerate, (or de- accelerate) which leaves the hands and brain free for dealing with other things. Also by developing the "hand muscle memory" of always pushing the gear lever forward as the car passes through walking pace to standstill will ensure that the moment the vehicle is stationery your hand can be on the handbrake, and you are ready to find the throttle/biting point and ready to go. Even if you get distracted whilst sitting there, the car is in the correct configuration to move off for when you get your act together!!😉👍
