Tight turns when driving - how not to hit the curb and obstructions on tight corners.

[@witchsorrowful1918]

This guy single-handedly saving people headache. Everything he's ever said, I've used it. And I literally learned by myself (despite being enrolled in a driving school; they taught me nothing).

[@rida7862]

All they want is money tbh! , i am learning with husband atm but this bean helps so much more! Literally everything we need to know ! Infact an online instructor! And his videos are not ridiculously long either! He gets on with the job and gets it done instead of wasting time and making learningboring like the rest of the channels

Driving schools are just after 💵

[@flix3024]

I don't live in the UK, but I'm watching these videos to learn the basics. I couldn't agree more. My instructor only told me to check mirrors, he didn't tell me HOW to check mirrors. Saw a video on this channel, now I have a good idea of how to use mirrors.

Funny how every instructor fails to teach students anything and you find a random guy on KZbin that makes it seem a piece of cake. Very good advices, I'm also struggling a bit around sharp corners, my instructor couldn't explain when is the best time to fully commit to the turn, can't wait to test this on the road :)

[@serarakavono9255]

Yes same here with my instructor from 🇫🇯

[@BDFProtector]

You will find 95% of instructors are only interested in their pockets and pass rate. They are only taught how to make you pass a test, not in how to drive. In rare exceptions like here you get someone that cares that little bit more, and makes this fine are a little bit more enjoyable. Now if we can get everyone to drive in a little less hurry the roads would improve 10 fold

It's important for learners to understand that when needed (and when safe) it's totally fine to use all of the available road space.

[@ConquerDriving]

Absolutely true!

[@lexsoft3969]

It means that at 11:30 we can do that in one attempt by using available space on the right side before turning at that corner. That is what I do in roads at residence area.

[@lanceareadbhar]

But just make sure to check that there aren't people coming on your right and also how to turn left when there are cars on your right.

Best channel for beginner drivers. No doubt about it.

[@saadyaqub4576]

God bless you. You have no idea how much you've helped me learn. I live in Pakistan, about 5200 miles from where you are. I've struggled to learn how to drive smoothly for weeks and your videos have helped me drive a million times better in two days. No instructor where I live and no one even on KZbin, delves into all the nuances that annoy a learner or scare them or make them panic quite like you do. I now have a solution for almost every problem I've encountered during my learning period. I would like to make a request, if I may. I've seen your videos on reverse parking, but I wanna ask you to make a video or a series on reverse driving. Reverse driving still intimidates me. I find it hard staying in the middle of the lane while reversing and not hitting the sidewalk when going or turning backwards. In this video you've explained how to turn around a tight corner when driving forwards splendidly (i.e. make sure you can see a considerable amount of empty space through your side window before turning), but how can one judge trying to REVERSE around such a tight corner so as not to hit the corner or the bend? Again, thanks from the other side of the world. You're a gem. Keep it up.

[@ConquerDriving]

Thank you. I do plan to make some more reversing videos.

His "put your knee in the middle of your lane" tip is actually game changing. I was hesitating to try at first because i think "what about my car?!" But damn, when you do try it feels natural and the car is very predictable for some reason.

[@Katie-jjwd2sz]

Thanks, after my Dad yelling “keep in” every time I take a sharp bend (with no oncoming traffic) and me then curbing the back wheel multiple times for him to just say “everyone does that” and acting like that is how tight corners are meant to be taken, I now finally understand how to drive tight corners in the way that makes sense and avoids car damage/potential test fail 😁.

I passed my test on the first try with 0 faults. But that didn't mean I can drive. In real life without all the poles or cones indicating when to turn and stuff, I'd have no clue on how to gauge things accurately My biggest fear is doing things that end up hurting myself, or worse, other people as well, especially those with children. I'm in Malaysia and DAYUMN these people drive so recklessly. Doesn't help that we're given turns that are too close together and often have to change two lanes within 300 meters after entering that short road. Your videos have helped me tremendously with being more comfortable on the road and developing habits/thought processes required to be a good driver who understands that I simply borrow a small space on a shared road Thank you, sir!

This is a very important lesson I see many people just know nothing about, you need to be careful of others in this kind of situation and remember bigger vehicles will be in situations like this on normal roads, it really shows how important observations are and not just observing yourself but observe what everyone else needs/is doing.

this is a very good video.. applicable in lots of countries and places with narrow streets.. sometimes the lanes can be narrow that you can't take out car in one go. In that case, what I do sometimes is go wide as you have suggested and try to aim short of opposite corner across where you risk B pillar. Then turn wheel back in opposite direction, come back a bit and then forward again and it goes through.

[@kawsar5946]

Hey Richard, I came to your video to see what I did wrong when I scraped a curb last night. Here's the scenario: Driving at around 11pm just dropping some friends off. Bare in mind, the car is full and the combination of the cold weather and everyone breathing has all the windows bar the from and rear windscreen completley misted up. As I'm driving down the side road, I arrive at a T junction, now at 11pm and in this area, there are no cars but also not much light. Unfortunately, my positioning was dead straight or facing towards the curb, but definitely not towards the right to give myself more space. If you recall, the windows were misted up, so usually i look through the passenger window as you did here to understand where the car is relative to the curb or wall. And instead of opening the passenger window to get a view, i guessed and turned too early, or too tight and scraped my skirting with the curb. And of course, this curb in particular is the highest curb I've ever seen in my life, so I have a nice scar on the car to remember it by. If you've read all of this, thank you. But, what would you suggest for such a situation in the future? Keep it up!

[@ConquerDriving]

I would definitely recommend clearing your windows of mist before driving. Air conditioning helps a lot. Sounds like you need to steer a bit later to avoid the issue.

[@kawsar5946]

@@ConquerDriving Thank you. Will definitely consider demisting 'all' windows next time!

[@AbdulAzizLearner]

When visibility is obstructed, I try to anticipate the part which I wouldn't be able to see beforehand. For example, anticipating where my rear wheel would be when I would be near the corner. Before I saw this video, I have been doing this all the time. This could require some degree of spatial awareness and, for me, is scary at times.

I once tried to enter a very narrow 1 way street which not much space in between (just enough for a standard car). I actually failed and bump the left side of the wall. I though I was going slow (beginner's mistake). The best lesson I learned is if you are turning on narrow road when you're on a manual just work on the clutch and breaks. Don't do much gas until you're cleared. So you can break at least if you made a wrong calculation.

My last lesson my instructor said at the end of the road (which was a one way) is a stop sign and has sharp corners. I positioned to the middle of the road as I was turning left,leaving enough room at the side of me in case another car wanted to turn right. I stopped at the end,looking both ways as it was a closed junction too,edging out cm’s at a time till I had a good view for a space for me to pull out and I didn’t clip or mount the curb. Thing is,I’ve never been taught this. I took what the instructor said and thought about what I was going to do prior to the junction. I found it easy to work out with forward planning,but would it have been so easy if I was on my own.
