Turning Right at Junctions - Major to Minor and Crossroads

[@beejay6284]

Hi guys, I passed my driving test yesterday with 2 minor in my 4th attempt with my own car,no professional instructor, just a family member. I learnt a lot from this channel. Thanks so much.

[@jackdpaul]

I’m decently confident at driving and just been waiting for a test for ages. But I just enjoy watching these videos

[@TheDantheman12121]

I passed my theory and test first time and i know for a fact that it was videos that made it so i could pass. You should also watch as many mock tests as you can.

[@thespanishinquisition8628]

I watched these videos for my driving test in Sweden and everything seems to more or less apply over here too. You were one of the biggest reasons I passed my test and are also responsible for me learning clutch control properly. I had the problem where the car that I drove in my driving school would move off without gas (even on steep hills), so you can imagine my shock when my little 19 year old 1.6 L Golf would stall everytime I wanted to move off. I passed my test almost a year ago and I've kept watching since then mostly for entertainment, but I guess It's also good to get a refresher every once in a while. Thank you for the good videos Richard!

1:47 were to wait (when the middle line is in line with mirror) 3:12 If you are turning right on our road do not go near the middle as there isn’t enough space 3:35 turning on a bend(bring the car to near stop and go into gear one as it’s safer) 3:55 waiting areas, don’t ever go to the end 5:05 if your turn to early and finish on the right it’s a serious fault Always look right when turning right 6:55 turning right with right filter light and traffic light without filter lights When turning right, If you have a green light then the traffic across probably also has a green light 8:17 yellow box junctions, Only use when you’re turning right and your exit is clear 10:33 turning right at smaller crossroads, go offside to offside as it’s too small for nearside and you’ll end up on the wrong side of the road WAIT BEFORE THE CROSSROADS IN THIS CASE 11:24 GIVE WAY LINE

Thanks a lot for your super helpful tips. They aided me greatly on my driving school journey.

[@francisvv032]

Hi Richard. Im from the Philippines and I have been binge watching your videos for the past 2 months and I can say I went from zero driving experience to being very confident on the street with a manual petrol car. The most important things that I have learned from you is gas first before clutch release and using handbrake for uphill starts. From there, my life changed. So many things still to learn. I don't know how to give back to you but subscribing is the least that I can do. Keep doing what you are doing and again, a big thanks!

I'm so pleased to hear that, thank you.

Hi, pareho tayo! Also from Philippines and learning to drive for the past month or so. Difference lang eh naka-automatic ako hehe. Good luck on your learning! Hopefully, more Filipinos become more aware of these videos and become more disciplined on the roads!

[@francisvv032]

@@gsmendoza Yes sir! We share just the same road. Being patient and giving way won't hurt too much of our time. If we want to arrive early, then we should wake up early, not drive fast since we have to take note, we don't own the streets, we share it with others. Goodluck on your driving as well and be safe.

[@npxmnpxm]

When I started out with a manual, I was always worried that I was making these kinds of turns too slowly, which only made things more difficult as I tried to race trough the gears. But then I had an opportunity to drive an automatic again, and I realized my starts had always been nice and easy, there's no reason to mash the throttle, and that most of my problems driving a manual just stemmed from anxiety.

[@ConquerDriving]

That is true for many.

I've been struggling so much with the yellow box junctions. Thank you for this!

[@irishnationalist1764]

Today I was at a 4 way junction with lights. I was turning right but the oncoming traffic who were also turning right came 3/4 of the length of the entire yellow box and not half way. This gave me no opportunity to turn right before the oncoming traffic because by the time I attempted to reach the centre, I was blocked by a big Merc flashing it's lights. He then signalled me to go to the right hand side of his flow of traffic, (as the highway code suggests, but as you mentioned is a bad idea). This then left a standing line of traffic for me to get through in order to turn right, even if I crept forward, I physically could not see the traffic going straight. So I pulled out slowly but even then, the oncoming car was forced to slam on the brakes, and I had no choice but to boot it to take my opportunity to turn right. The initial confusion over the oncoming turning right traffic led the traffic to stand still which in turn led to a dangerous crawling and peeking situation at a completely blind spot. I felt terrible about this as I'm on a provisional license and it really knocked my confidence. But this video shows me that regardless of the highway code, traffic turning right at junctions should always wait at the middle and not veer over to the left thus blocking the turning right lane of opposite direction traffic who are also turning right, (me). Thanks for the informative video.

Great video. I've actually been driving for around 5 years but had a bad experience just after passing my test when turning right at a crossroads - sometimes I like to have a search to see what the professionals say (specifically to do with turning nearside to nearside or offside to offside).

This was very helpful. Failed first time due to not waiting for green arrow for the right turn facing oncoming car. Didn't understand the difference between right turn at traffic light. Now, I do, if no green arrow, then oncoming cars are moving as well, so have to wait. Also used to stop for seconds before turning right even if no oncoming car. Now, I understand I don't need to and I understand when to start steering and looking into the right side of the road. Very helpful. Thanks

That's very useful, but I just wanted to see a turning right from two lines on traffic lights. For example when we on first line we have to go to in first line ahead.

[@AC-iw5mv]

Thank you! So helpful and absolutely brilliantly clear explanations of each step and scenario. Thank you!!!

[@lizzieprior2297]

I find most of your videos extremely helpful, thank you, but I just wanted to say that at almost all of the traffic light controlled junctions around where I drive in Tottenham and Wood Green in North London you are supposed to turn offside/offside rather than nearside/nearside as you show in this video. If I tried to turn nearside/nearside ie in front of other oncoming vehicles turning right I would cause a lot of problems! So my point is that some areas are obviously quite different to others in this regard.

[@ConquerDriving]

I've not driven around there, that's interesting as I've not really come across places where people are using crossroads offside to offside and I drive around a lot of the country. Definitely do what is the norm for the junction.

[@PJPsounds]

In Europe you turn AFTER oncoming vehicle which also is turning same way from opposite direction so you can see other oncoming cars, otherwise if you both stop you both blocking each other from seeing full traffic. So any words you pass other car to leave him behind and only concentrate on other following cars. This applies to larger roads with waiting area on narrow roads with small traffic you can make it in a front of each other Driving on the other side doesn't really matter as turning left is a same as turning right over here etc. Obviously sometimes you have guide lanes to follow to avoid confusion especially on larger few lanes roads.

I'll like you to talk about the positioning of the front and back wheels when making a steep turn. I feel the back wheel and front wheels are not evenly positioned when making a steep junction

[@redblade8160]

At 8:32 I don't see a problem with entering a yellow box junction waiting to turn right, even if the road on the right is congested; otherwise you will never make progress and you will be holding up traffic behind you!

[@ConquerDriving]

Thank you. Practise is your friend, the more you practise the better you will get.

[@michaelmacriocaird3068]

Offside to offside is sometimes the best option depending on road markings and the structure and layout of the junction it’s safe if done correctly as your view isn’t obstructed

[@ConquerDriving]

I'm yet to use a junction where people are doing offside to offside. It would take a lot of initiative for the second car to leave space (assuming it's a queue of traffic).

[@guitartommo2794]

Maybe do the whole thing again at rush hour…when other motorists are blocking exits…also turning into streets with parked cars down both sides of the road… allowing only room for single car…and when there are pedestrians crossing at junctions… and randomly walking into the road. Then a bit closer to reality…

[@cathybryant5119]

Hey Richard. I love your videos, so thanks! I have moved to the UK from North America. I got my license in Ontario, Canada, but have also lived and driven in the US. As a new driver to the UK, I have a couple of questions regarding turning right. 1. I was always taught when turning left (right in the UK) that you should not turn your wheels whilst waiting for oncoming traffic. The reason for this is that if someone hits you from behind a minor incident can become a head-on collision if you are pushed into oncoming traffic. You don't discuss this in your video, although your diagrams do show the car turning right has turned their wheels. I have also seen other videos where UK instructors tell their student to turn their wheels. What is your opinion on this and why? 2. In Ontario it is illegal to turn into any lane except the lane you are coming from. For example, to take the UK equivalent, if I am turning right into 3 lanes from the right hand lane, I would get a ticket in Canada if I turned into other than the far right lane. I could then change lanes once I have safely turned if I need to be in a different lane. The main reason for this is to allow those turning right (left in the UK) from the opposite direction to turn at the same time into their lane with no chance of collisions. It appears that the guidance in the UK is completely different. Could you please clarify the rules in the UK and the reasoning? Thanks again!!!

[@ConquerDriving]

It is better to wait with your wheel straight, I generally do this myself but not always. Depends now difficult the turn it. I'm not quite sure about question 2, but you can change lane whenever you like as long as it's legal and currently safe.

[@cathybryant5119]

@@ConquerDriving Thanks! I ask about which lane to turn into because I have seen videos of mock tests from other instructors who have given advisories or faults if the driver did not turn right into the far left lane. That made me think it was a rule!

how to deal with drivers who flash lights(they are giving you a way to proceed) while you are waiting to turn right . what observation / mirror do you need to check before you make your turn.

[@ConquerDriving]

Take your time, you can proceed as long as you think it's safe but don't rush because someone flashes their lights. Check the relevant mirrors for the direction you're about to turn if you feel you need to but mostly look where you're going.

[@alisonjohnston5477]

If you covered it and I skipped it, sorry.... Turning right from an intersection onto a two lane road (carriageway?) Folks in the uk seem to turn into the left lane more often, which means that less folk waiting to turn are able to do so. Growing up in Canada if we turned left in similar then we would turn into the left lane which meant drivers turning right knew they were safe to turn into the right lane. If I have confused my lefts and rights I'm sorry 😅 but wtf? Why the need to make wide turns and not allow others to safely turn when it's entirely possible to do so?

[@Nazarebrah]

I have a question. I've noticed at some junctions the right lane is only for turning right and the left lane is both for turning left and going straight, however on other hand, there are junctions where the right lane is both for turning right and going straight and the left is only for turning left. Sometimes you can't see the road markings as the traffic is on them. I'm asking if there's a hint or good rule of thumb at such junctions as to which lane to take when going straight? I know it's easier when turning right or left. I'm new in the UK and find junctions very confusing when going through straight.

[@ConquerDriving]

Sometimes there is a sign to warn you but not always. Most are left lane for ahead but unfortunately poor road signs and markings are a big problem on the UK's roads.

[@electronz2288]

Maybe I simply missed it but there was no mention of taking a quick look at the mirror before commencing the turn. What if there's a motorcycle or a car overtaking? I get that the way you explained about having to look right kinda covers what I want to say, but I feel too many people just give way to the front without being careful about drivers/riders improperly overtaking while you're stationary waiting for the oncoming cars to pass

Good point! Although I can't recall ever seeing somone try to overtake when the lead car is signalling to turn right. Having said that, there may be someone stupid enough to try it.
