Okay let's try that again.[LAUGHING] You start early because there's no
sound. So where did my book go with my notes? Yes, thanks Sam.
I got it sorted..,. ironed my shirt, but I forgot to plug in the microphone for the
audio so we should have audio now. Thanks Rebecca.
So...[LAUGHING] Sam says hi to everybody. Hi Monica. Yes it's working thank you so much so just
again start here if you got Facebook running in the background or you got any
other programs that are running just turn those off that way it will help
with the live stream to come through more efficiently and those types of
things because believe it or not there is a lot of data here that's coming
through to you so as I was saying as well if you like what you see here make
sure you hit that subscribe button give it a thumbs up you know all of that
helps out the channel increases the SEO and gets us found in Google and the
search engine here in YouTube and it helps everybody else is going for a
license tight I hate big money boss yes thank you we can hear you now it helps
when I plug in the microphone so as I was saying I am going on holidays as a
Wednesday for two weeks I am gonna try and keep all of this going while I'm
away in the province of Ontario visiting my mom my nan hemmond or our store you
passed your road tests what tell me what happened what was what was the reason
that they gave you that you weren't successful in your CDL road test so as I
was saying I'm going to interview for two weeks and to try and keep this going
I am gonna try and do this live stream Sunday nights it will be on my phone I
will be answering comments all of my comments on the phone so just bear with
me if the punctuation is not in place in the capitalization those types of things
so know that that I'm gonna be working on my phone because believe it or not
I'm going to Wingham Ontario you know part chicken part Pig and for whatever
reason they don't really have internet there so I'm gonna be working on my
phone Michael I'm scared to drive and have bad
eye in real life I can't be around people
I'm going for my end what do I do okay Michael look at the video on fear
and anxiety in driving and passing a road test that will give you really good
information about overcoming that fear and anxiety in terms of driving and if
anybody has fear and anxiety in terms of driving or any aspect of your driving
make sure you have a look at that video that video is been extremely popular
it's some really good information and now one of the things that I suggest to
students in terms of fear and anxiety and overcoming that is to start small
okay get used to the vehicle take it out go to a parking lot get used
to the primary controls and do really short lessons okay don't try and take
too much little short lessons little short steps and if you just go up for 10
or 15 minutes and drive and then take a break and then maybe do it again
sometimes just sitting in the vehicle is going to help as well in terms of
overcoming your fear and anxiety and those types of things so I east passed
his road test last Thursday awesome okay Amador ahmud noir sorry I'm trying
to pronounce it properly for you you panicked yeah sometimes unfortunately
that happens in our road tests so you know it happens you just kind of kind of
take it as a learning experience regroup get a little bit more practice and then
go back and do it again so yeah okay so where is my cursor and where did my
cursor go don't have my cursor there's my cursor okay there look at
that live chat on the window even better okay so I'm going for holidays for two
weeks to Ontario I'm gonna keep this up keep trying on this so just bear with me
in terms of my phone hopefully the live stream will work on my phone one of the
things that I wanted to consult with you about was the name of this because I'm
going to do it every Sunday at 6 o'clock in the evening
smart success Sunday's is the current name
you can weigh in on that and I'm open to all kinds of suggestions I would love to
hear your comments about maybe what we should call it in terms of a Sunday
night seed the reason I wanted to do it on Sunday nights was because lots of
people are doing the road tests for the upcoming week and I can give you a hand
in terms of any questions or concerns that you may have in terms of your
upcoming road tests for the week so if you want to leave a comment by all means
that would be really great and helpful to all of the other people are going for
the road tests okay so Joe from in the apple Indianapolis Joe is a bit
frustrated by people driving slow in the button in the big dollar Lane the fast
lane the acceleration lane the left lane so Joe yes we all know that that sign
which says unless passing please stay right is usually for the people driving
in that lane so yeah okay we would like to just emphasize and ask courtesy for
other people that if you're not driving the flow of traffic please stay in the
right lane so I skipped some comment about staying calm for the people who
are doing the road tests try to remain calm just breathe relax get as much
practice as you can because remember when we get under stress for the
purposes of a road test we do what we practice if it's only been a week that
you've been driving a vehicle and you're going in for a road test it's going to
be really tough for you to pass that road test because you haven't had enough
practice so try to get as much practice before your road tests get a good
night's sleep eat breakfast pause breathe make sure you have all
your documentation you've done a pre-trip inspection on the vehicle
before you show up for your road test get there early check in go for a little
walk breathe practice on your breathing and
when the examiner gets out get in the vehicle I remember the first five
minutes of your road test is the toughest because you don't know the
driving examiner you're not comfortable with the driving examiner you're kind of
trying to develop a rapport as long as you can get through that first five
minutes it gets a lot easier after the first five minutes so big-money boss who
just moved to Las Vegas and a big road trip down there and I believe he moved
down there with his family he's trying to hold back truckloads of questions but
it's hard just fire away big money boss Joe that's okay Joe yesterday and I'm
gonna put this up on Facebook I don't think I'm gonna put up on a YouTube
channel but I don't know what happened yesterday but I was driving through two
stop signs and both stop signs somebody tried to charge through the intersection
and they're honking and yelling at me and all kinds of road rage so I
unfortunately I was upsetting other people yesterday so I I hear your
frustration Joe I definitely under straighten ya advert very bad in parking
but my rest of my driving is good please tell me something to improve okay yeah
adver i'll leave a link down in the description for you after finish the
live feed here but look for the fundamentals of driving video that will
give you exercises to do in the parking lot I'm trying to stay over in the shot
here so that I'm beside the comments I feed so that's why I keep moving over to
the left here yeah drew you want to go and rent some of those 36 inch tall 1
meter tall pylons from your local renter's shop rental shop you'll need
about four of them they're less than ten bucks for a day go out to the parking
lot and straight line along the pylons reverse along the pylons forward figure
eights back in round corners all of that will help you with your parking and
you're backing up for the purposes of your road test so have a look at that
video again I'll leave after I get this live feed up I'll leave it just a link
down in the description here for you and you can have a look at that and that
will help you with that Atomics average test for a class five is between 20 and
45 minutes I have heard people that it's been shorter than that depending on the
examiner but for the most part your class 5 test the actual physical test of
the examiner getting in the vehicle doing their little mini pre trip
inspection because they're gonna do a pre-trip inspection before they get in
the vehicle with you is going to be 20 to 45 minutes the time you come back and
do feedback and go and check in and those types of things so that's how long
your average road test is ice was calm the whole time
prize that I passed the first time I was a little concerned about not passing no
you you did pass you did what you needed to do right and you got the practice and
you took away the examiners right to fail you that's all you have to do for
the purposes of a road test is take away the examiners right to fail you that's
all you have to do so Isis like he said his road test was only about 15 minutes
that's a little on the short side I would say the average is closer to 25 to
30 minutes for most driving examiner's again it depends what time of the day in
the morning it's going to be more to that sort of 25 to 30 minute block for
if you're later in the afternoon what happens is they sort of get behind and
the the road test says the day goes along tend to shorten out over the
course of day Sam may be able to weigh in on that as well
about what his experiences in terms of the length of time for the average road
test Sam is in New York for those of you who don't know Sam Sam was the driving
instructor down in New York's and he teaches down there so he could probably
weigh in on that as well can you pass a road test if you don't practice for like
a month Amador it might be a bit tough if you're
not you're just remind me now you're taking a tractor-trailer license if you
haven't been in a tractor trailer for a month that might be a bit challenging I
might suggest you might pepper that with a couple of lessons between now and then
or if you can get a hold of a truck to at least get in the truck and go for a
drive Carlos Mexico Veracruz thank you for your video you are very
welcome my friend very welcome if there's anything that we can do or you
have any suggestions by all means
okay so Isis his test was in Indiana it was around 2:00 p.m. Eastern when I took
mine yes so you're getting into the early afternoon there and the road test
get a little bit shorter and shorter and shorter because they get backed up and
they got a certain amount of road tests that they have to do in over the course
of the day and if they're getting backed up because one in the morning took
longer you know because they've had a lot of
people who are passing if they get a few people who fail those tend to be
shortened up the length of the road test so if they're getting into mid-afternoon
and they were I still got six road tests to do your
road test might only be 10 or 15 minutes so yeah you might have got lucky ah
Angie I had my learner's permit that expired 10 years ago you have to take
the test to get my permit again mmm you you might have to it probably expired by
now yes because I believe it's only 365 days for a park learner's permit so yes
just you are in BC I gathered from this I think you're in British Columbia if
you're in Bruges Columbia go on the ICBC website and have a look but I'm almost
positive it's going to be a year in most places for the permit okay Sam says that
8 to do 8 to 10 minutes in New York City Wow that's awesome so is so is that Sam
is that 8 to 10 minutes for the actual drive or is that sort of 8 to 10 minutes
from the time like how long would it be from the time that say you check in till
you come back and you finish up the paperwork and get your license what
would the duration for that be yeah believe it or not yeah 8 to 10 minutes
seems a bit short but anyway it's a lot of anxiety for 8 to 10 minutes of your
life which so much is hinging on it Amanda took my test Friday and thanks to
your videos I feel very confident my abilities and past first try
congratulations Amanda that is absolutely awesome and that was the
other thing I was gonna do that I okay next week I am going to be much more
prepared for this smart success Sunday live feed and I'm going to have a list
of people who were successful and passed their road test in the previous weekend
we're going to celebrate that because it is an absolutely awesome achievement
whether you're going for a passenger vehicle or you're going for a truck or
bus it's just a great achievement to get your license and be successful in that
endeavor because it's probably one of the hardest things you know not not the
hardest things but it's something that you work hard for and like I say in
terms of success in our lives we appreciate those things for which we've
worked the hardest and you know there's just there's a lot of things going on in
terms of you know passing a road test there's a lot of skills and abilities
that you have to learn there's a lot of knowledge that you have to learn
you have to learn physical skills in order to be able to operate the vehicle
successfully and there's a lot of abilities that you have to know in terms
of you know Road rules and skills and you know driving is a bit of an art as
well in terms of implementing all that stuff so okay so Sam said the actual
drive is eight to ten minutes so it's gonna obviously it's gonna be probably
closer to half an hour every time that you check in go over to the vehicle wait
for the examiner to show up go for your drive get your feedback and then go back
in at the end of the examination and do the final paperwork and actually to be
issued your license okay big money mas I still have trouble with curves I wanted
to know how do I stay centered my test was short also okay so big money boss
just riding the big money box you did take your test in Colorado right yeah I
think that you yeah you did you got your license in Colorado so just confirm that
for me buh-buh-buh-buh-buh which list is that
ice that you're on okay Amanda so Amanda was the same it was about 10
minutes in New Jersey for for me she had a parallel park and drive for about five
minutes very easy so it seems to be in the states that they're the actual drive
is quite short it's only about eight to ten minutes so Sam might be able to
actually talk to this a little bit are they do you think that the DMV is on the
eastern seaboard are getting backed up a little bit is this why the ship the
tests are so short is is that they're trying to do more tests over the course
of the day is that why they're getting shorter because my experience here in
Canada at least on the west coast because I haven't been back east for a
while road tests here tend to be 20 minutes 20 minutes 30 minutes so I don't
know you probably speak to that more big-money boss I'm I'm working on the
highway video for you to stay in the curves and I will give you the
information in the interim watch NASCAR they'll show you how to go around
corners and how to make the corner longer but otherwise I'll give you an
explanation for that and show you how to do curves so I'll get that video done
for you and actually that's a good video for me to do when I when I'm in Ontario
and I'll I'll get that video for you Matthew tips great take turns I
take turns - slower - wide my test is in five days and I'm so scared I've been
stressing over this for months okay Matthew slow to 10 to 12 miles per hour
before you get to the corner for the right-hand turn look in the direction
where you want to go when you're going around the corner
sometimes you need you need to look farther down the road where you want the
vehicle to go because the vehicle will go where you're looking so you have to
look in the direction you want the vehicle to go and the vehicle will go
there when you're about halfway through the turn that's when you accelerate out
of the turn and allow the steering wheel to come back now depending on your local
DMV some driving instructors are gonna want you to manipulate the steering
wheel back other ones you can simply open your fingers keep the with the
steering wheel in contact with your palms and then allow the wheel to spin
through your hands and then just do the slight correction that you need to do to
do the right hand turn now there are some videos here on the channel making
right-hand turn and again I'll leave that down in the description for you
after the live feed on how to do your right-hand turn so have a look at that
video as well as well I would suggest that you also look at the fundamentals
of driving video to get more familiar with the primary controls and get those
36-inch to meet 36 inch tall pylons you can get from your local rental shop for
about 10 bucks you need about 4 of them and go out and do forward and reverse
figure eights in the parking lot and that will help you controlling the
steering wheel in the throttle and the brake the primary controls of the
vehicle for the purposes of your road test ok ah ok
okay so Sansa's it has been 8 to 10 minutes
kami failed wrote right turns that's unfortunate sorry to hear that okay
you are most welcome Matthew what else we got here
kami failed my road test what was the reason you failed your road test kami I
just let me know here maybe I can make some comments on that okay
I am and ayman nour yes you can keep trying the road test but you know you
wanna unfortunate it's a bit hard on your self-confidence if you just keep
taking road test after road test there is no limitation how many road
tests you can take but you do eventually you know want to get your training in
place and I would strongly encourage you to work with a driving instructor and
get a mock road test done that way you can get some feedback about your whether
you're prepared to take a road test and as well if you're having difficulty with
your nerves and those types of things try and get yourself an honorary driving
instructor that's going to kind of put you through the paces I'm kind of like
that once I get near road test three or four lessons out from a road test I am
gonna kind of push the student and see whether they can deal with stress and
how they respond to that stress because unfortunately if driving is Examiners or
driving instructors are just nice to you until up to road-test day they're really
not doing you any favors because you're gonna be under a great deal of stress on
your road test day and you you want your driving examiner to kind of have that
lesson in place that they're gonna see whether they can push you a little bit
and see if they can trip you up because you need to know how to deal with that
stress for the purposes of your road test so see that as well and see if you
can get that in place ah okay how do I know if the steering wheel is straight
if it's not how do I decide which way to steer to bring it straight okay no briam
the steering wheels on passenger vehicles turn one and a half to two
turns in each direction most passenger vehicles the steering wheel goes one and
a half turns complete left one and a half turns right so you have to keep
track of the steering wheel and the little logo if the steering wheel hasn't
been removed which it hasn't on most vehicles turn the steering wheel one and
a half turns bring it back one and a half turns until the log goes straight
and it will and your steer tires will be straight so you have to keep track of
where the steering wheel is as well if you're not quite sure if your steer
tires are straight just inch forward a couple of inches and you will know
immediately whether you're one revolution out on getting your steer
tires straight so one of the the skill that you need in order to
control the steering wheel is to know that it moves one-and-a-half revolutions
in each direction so that's how you keep track of the steering wheel my driving
instructor was really nice well you know we like to be nice for the most part but
you know as driving instructors as teachers good teachers good driving
instructors their job is twofold one is to take you outside of your comfort zone
because nothing happens there's no learning inside your comfort zone right
we're always uncomfortable when we're learning something especially driving
and the other thing about driving instructors and teachers is that the
other part of the other twofold of that is that they're there if something goes
wrong there there is a safety net to help you out and pull you out of an
emergency situation if you get into something that you can't handle so for
example you're on a left turn in that night and you can't see where to turn
around the corner that's what driving instructors are there so the first thing
is they take you outside of your comfort zone so they push you a little bit
because there's no learning inside your comfort zone and the second thing is is
that good driving instructors good trainers and teachers act as safety nets
if you get into a situation you can't handle they intervene and help you out
and smooth over that transition Katherine okay Katherine little things
there are not little things that they're looking for they're looking for the big
things overall do you have good control of the vehicle what you need to prove to
the examiner what you need to demonstrate to the examiner rather not
prove you need to demonstrate to the examiner uses that you have do care and
control of the vehicle in changing traffic situations essentially in any
traffic situation you need to have four basic components of the road test in
place you need to have speed management space management observation
communication and those are the four basic components of any road test
regardless of Glac class so speed management if you're taking a passenger
vehicle license you have to do the posted speed limit or the flow of
traffic whichever is less the second one is space management you
can't get near anything or near other road users your
to have good space management and a buffer of space around your vehicle in
terms of defensive driving observation you have to have scanning patterns in
place you have to shoulder check twice for every turn and you have to shoulder
check twice every time you move the vehicle laterally lane changes emerges
on those types of things and then finally you have to communicate with
other road users the position of your vehicle on the roadway lights signals
your horn I contact and appropriate hand gestures don't tell anybody they're
number one on a road test because you won't be successful so those are the
four basic components and the fundamentals of any road test you have
to demonstrate due care and control of the vehicle to be successful on a road
test and then finally all you have to do is take away the examiners right to fail
you that's all you have to do on a road test okay Monique when turning on a left
turning curve do I Drive a little right or and then turn so I don't hit the curb
Monique left turning curve whatever way you're turning in a curve you always
want to stay to the top side of the curve so if you're going around a
left-hand curve you want to stay to the right if you're going around a
right-hand curve you want to stay to the left so you always want to stay to the
top side of the curve because that's the longest line through the curve and not
so much with passenger vehicles but bigger vehicles pickup trucks trucks and
trailers buses and those types of things you're always going to have a certain
amount of off-tracking which means that the rear tires take a shorter path and
the steer tires so therefore you're gonna have to take the longest path
through the curve so if you're on a right turn you're gonna stay to the left
if you're on a left curve you're gonna stay to the right so top side all the
time okay Joe I've been driving for over thirty years and just you just taught me
something didn't know about the steering wheel one and a half turns yes it is Joe
it's one and a half turns some of the other vehicles I have been in commercial
vehicles trucks and those types of things it's two turns it can be up to
two turns but just get your own vehicle and just turn the steering wheel and
then you can figure out how far it is but on most passenger vehicles is one
and a half turns in either direction so glad glad we got something for Joe there
that's great and you know he got to have his little you know rant about his
frustration about slow people driving in the
flame which you know frustrates me too especially on the Pat Bay highway the
Patricia Bay Highway on Vancouver Island it just people insist on driving in the
left lane there okay Matthew I have one more question it does not have to do
with my driving but more with the m/v side I kept my permit in my wallet yes I
know bad idea and I washed my wallet on Matthew you have to go to the DMV and
get yourself reissued and permit that's that's what you got to do unfortunately
which is kind of a pain because it's to deal with bureaucracy so that's what you
got to do i yeah unfortunately you might be able to do it online Matthew have a
look online and see if you can do it online that's also a possibility
Joe just asks for all people who are driving less than the traffic flow in
the left lane to move to the right or if you're on the other side of the road in
the UK and Malaysia and Australia in places like that then move over to the
left please and thank you ah no Brammer this rule is the same in the US and
Canada okay most of the driving rules no briam are more or less the same and
that's an excellent question because one of the points that I always say to
people so the smart drivers here on the channel is seven to ten days before your
road tests go and do a mock road test with a local driving instructor at a
local driving school because they will be able to give you the specific nuanced
information that you need in order to pass a road test and I'll give you a
couple of examples about that the first example is is that one of the things
that I teach for the purposes of a road test is that when you when you make a
turn with the vehicle after you complete the turn simply open your fingers keep
your palms in contact with the steering wheel and let the steering wheel slide
back through your your palms okay and that's the way that I teach it because
the steering wheel will come back on its own however there are certain places and
this tends to be somewhat localized and it tends to be the personal opinion of
the driving instructor the driving examiner
you have to physically manipulate the steering wheel back well unfortunately
my opinion my personal opinion my professional opinion is that these
people have not graduated from the 1940s and 50s when power steering came because
you don't have to physically manipulate the steering wheel back so that's one of
the little things the other thing is the what I teach on left-hand turns and at
complex intersections is to put the front steer tires of the vehicle on the
front cross walk line that way you're committed to the intersection but you're
not in the intersection and the reason that I teach that is because 40% of
traffic crashes more than 40% of traffic crashes occur at intersections it is I
and therefore a left-hand turn and because a left-hand turn is a high-risk
maneuver you're not in the intersection and if something goes awry you're not
going to be there to be to get into trouble
the other school of thinking on left-hand turns is you want to be right
out into the intersection because you want to try and get as many vehicles
through the intersection on the left-hand turn as possible for new
drivers I don't agree with that I I want you to stay out to the intersection it's
a defensive move and it keeps you safe but when you go to your local DMV they
might want you right out into the intersection and local driving schools
local driving instructors will be able to give you that specific information so
I always say 7 to 10 days before you go into your road test take a mock road
test with a local driving school and they will be able to give you the
specific information for your local DMV ok so that's what I say Amanda why do I
think that new drivers are a little bit arrogant yeah I don't really understand
well personally part of it is kind of hyper-masculinity you know feeling our
oats and those types of things and we're not in touch with our morality at all in
terms of the fact that we could potentially die in a car crash other
people as well you just like to go fast you know so they get into trouble so
yeah unfortunately that's going to happen with some people so
you're not in terms of driving Amanda you're just not going to get away with
that and the best thing that you can do is have yourself into a position where
you're driving defensively you've got lots of space around your vehicle and
you're simply if they're cutting you off or those types of things just let him go
and have their crash somewhere else like I said I had kind of an odd moment last
night where I went through two intersections people are honking and
yell at me yelling at me well you know you're trying not to react because we do
all sudden it just kind of pops up but you want to stay calm you want to let
them go and have the crash somewhere else okay Benson what is the best way to
turn the steering wheel the best way to turn the steering wheel in my opinion my
professional opinion is hand over hand there are areas in the world that
require you to do push pull there's two videos here on controlling the steering
wheel so have a look at those so that's the best way hand over hand
okay to control the steering wheel I'm a chicken I'm not a chicken that's the
username okay chicken you have any tips on controlling speed and braking
smoothly yes I do look at the video on fundamentals of driving go and rent some
of those 1 meter tall 36 inch pylons go to a parking lot do a straight line back
being along the pylons back or around the corner with the pylons set them up
so you can do forward and reverse figure eights slow speed maneuvers although not
sexy in any stretch of the imagination will improve your overall driving and
help you to brake and throttle up more smoothly and more efficiently so do
spend the time in the parking lot and do those lists slow speed maneuvers that
will help you out Katherine the vehicle that I'm using for my road test is a
really high rear-end and so the back window is narrow and I'm worried that I
may not be able to view the cones when looking out the back that again
Katherine that's just going to be practice of what I suggest again it's
going get some of those pylons rent some of those pylons from your local rental
shop and work in the parking lot and as well if you can kind of get into the
mirrors using the mirrors a little bit too that will help you as well instead
of looking just out the back window so
scanning looking out the back window check just have a glimpse in your
mirrors as well and that'll help you out Nunes is from Richmond pasture test on
the 2nd of August that's awesome thank you so much thank you for your
compliments and congratulations on doing the work and passing your road test
there in Richmond all the best with your newly earn freedom that's great
and hopefully noon there in Richmond I know if you're getting as much smoke as
we are here in the Okanagan Valley and go for a road trip and get out of the
smoke I'm very much looking forward to getting out of this smoke no briam when
is it ok to honk it's no manubrium This Is It this is kind of a tough one about
when it's okay to smoke when it's ok to honk the horn when it's ok to smoke we
don't want to smoke because it's bad for your health so don't smoke when is it ok
to honk the horn if you have children in the area or
there on the roadway or you're near a park or something like that or you just
need to kind of alert them that's the only time that I would suggest that you
kind of give an beep-beep or you know the you're sitting at the intersection
and the vehicle in front of you is obviously texting or on their phone or
something and they're not going at the green light then you can give it a
little beep right and just let them know hey you need to get going here
but other than that I wouldn't suggest that it's it's anytime it's good to honk
because unfortunately I don't know what it is about horns and cars as soon as
you honk it's instantly aggressive so I would recommend that if you don't have
to honk don't honk okay my driving examiner our driving instructor who
taught me how to be a driving instructor did advocate honking you know beeping
the horn bb-but I just it's never really worked for me and especially if you get
into some sort of emergency situation where other people are doing stuff
that's crazy and you're you know people are honking and whatnot I always say if
you've got time to honk the horn and find the horn because I've got one of
those older vehicles where it's just a button on either side of the steering
wheel you usually have time to react and do something evasive like move the
steering wheel or whatnot so you know generally I asked not to get that
when big money boss is going out to win DZ bring me back a burger - I would love
a burger so anyway okay any tips blue duck any good tips on
Lane changing yes Lane changing blue duck
so Lane changing you need three flashes minimum on the signal before you start
to move over and do a lane change and the reason that I say three flashes on
the signal is because the first one is to get their attention the second one is
for them to locate you and the third signal is to do some is to get them to
do some sort of evasive action that they can either slow down and help you create
a gap that you can move into so you need three flashes on the signal before you
start moving over so it's mirror signal shoulder check have a look
find your gap and then before you start moving them over just at the end of your
third signal flash then shoulder check again and then start moving over as you
move over on your lane change you need to speed up slightly because you're
going on a diagonal and you've got more distance to cover because you're going
on a diagonal and therefore to maintain a constant speed you have to speed up
ever so slightly as you're changing lanes finally keep your signal on until
you're completely in the other lane before canceling the other set your
signal and when you get completely in the lane cancer signal look up in the
direction you want to go and accelerate to the posted speed limit or the flow of
traffic whichever is less so that's how you change lanes all right yeah
excessive honking in New York City there you go I'm a chicken okay I'm a chicken
is learning to drive manual car that's interesting chickens driving cars I'm a
chicken do you have to be able to drive manual where are you going are you
cutting you you're coming to North America just remind me that you're
coming to North America because 85 percent of the vehicles in North America
are automatic and it's not likely you're gonna have to drive a manual if you're
going to Europe it's the reverse in five percent of the vehicles in Europe our
standard transmission so you will have to learn to drive manual awesome Zane my
car is a digital speedometer and shows the exact speed them going what if I go
like 3 or 4 kilometers over the limit okay for the purposes of a road test
awesome Zane you don't have to spot-on 30 miles an hour or 50
kilometers an hour there is some tolerance but if you're up say 5
kilometers or 5 miles an hour more over the speed limit make sure you
get it back down right quickly there is a certain amount of time that you're
allowed to go over the speed limit or under the speed limit but trying to keep
it at that speed limit for the most part look at the video here on speed control
that will show you your scanning pattern that you have to implement that will get
you looking every 10 to 20 seconds at the control panel that will help you
with your speed control so have a look at that and that will help you out I'm a
chicken going to India yes I would definitely say that you would learn how
to drive manual now the other thing that I would say going to India is I had a
comment from an Indian woman the other day who said to me that you probably
don't want to drive if you're in India she said that it's very affordable to
hire chauffeured vehicles and that probably it's better to hire a car to
drive you around as opposed to learn how to drive because it isn't anything like
it is in North America so you might want to investigate that a little bit more
that's some of the information that I know about going to India but I mean on
the other hand you know if you've got that kind of adrenaline thing going on
then you know driving in driving in India might be you know really great for
that sort of adrenaline boost there you go so yes I would recommend if you're
going to you need to learn how to drive manual and there is a playlist here on
the channel about driving a manual transmission and getting you started
right from the very beginning with clutch control Katherine wanted to thank
me you are you are most welcome
excellent well Katherine I wish you all the luck and if you have any more
questions at all by all means leave me a comment I try and get to my comments
every day and get people going here and it's it just is really great that I can
help so many people out ok mummy 2 2 2 2 number two and then spelled out in 2
that's great what is the quickest way to fail a road test not practice not be
prepared and commit a dangerous action those are
automatic fails you drive over the curb that's an automatic fail what I suggest
you is to try and focus on the components that you need in place to
pass the road test so you need to demonstrate due care and control of the
vehicle as I mentioned earlier and the four components of any road test and
just have a look at the eight tips on passing a road test and that will
explain more in our give you more detail rather about speed management space
management observation and communication those are the four fundamental
components of a me road test regardless of class of license regardless of where
the road test is in the world so those are your four components that you need
to pass a road test so I know that you know forearm
forewarned is forearmed in terms of failing a road test but you know if you
make one or two mistakes the road test doesn't have to be perfect you are
allowed a certain number of mistakes and you are gonna make mistakes because
you're nervous you're not you don't have a great deal of experience like you
don't have five or ten years of experience like I do in terms of driving
a vehicle or someone else so try and get as much practice as you can just know
that you have to obey the road rules you have to stay away from other vehicles
you have to maintain the posted speed limit or the flow of traffic whichever
is less and just try not to commit a dangerous action and fortunately I had
one of my smart drivers in today he failed he failed a road test because he
went out to an intersection and unfortunately went at a stop sign when
the way wasn't clear and unfortunately that's a dangerous action and he was
unsuccessful in his road test but you know the nerves get the best of us
sometimes on these road tests and we make mistakes it was like last night it
was again I come back to that when I sort of went through two intersections
and had people honking at me you know unfortunately I was thinking about
something else and I was a bit distracted and
you know we make mistakes driving is one of those things that requires so much
attention to detail and if you you got one moment of inattention on one given
day with traffic being so dynamic it's it's it's not gonna matter and on
another day it's just gonna go crazy and people are gonna honk at you and
hopefully you know it's just a near-miss and a bit of cussing and honk horn
honking and you know nobody gets hurt or injured or killed in the worst case
scenario so yeah think about it that way okay Jack Hershel thank you harsh oh
that's really great yes I appreciate your comments so looks like we're almost
near the end here so yeah we'll keep it there if anybody doesn't if anybody has
any more questions by all means leave me a question I'm more than happy to help
you out answer your comments ash answer your questions get prepared for the road
test this coming week again if you have any suggestions about the name of the
weekly feed that I'm going to now have on Sunday nights to help people prepare
for the road test leave a comment down in the comment section there if there's
a better time that works for you in terms of when this live feed could be to
help you out with your weekly road test then by all means leave a comment as
well hit that thumbs up button all of that helps in terms of the search engine
optimization leaving a comment subscribing to the channel again all
that helps out and it promotes the channel and it allows other people to
find the information so that they can be successful on a road test so Jo I
stopped at a stop sign are you allowed to move up over the line if you can't
see traffic yes Jo so there's three stopping positions three three there now
you can see me three stopping positions at a stop sign the intersection at the
stop line before the crosswalk before the sidewalk if there isn't a crosswalk
line and then where the two roads meet those are the three stocking positions
so if you stop at the correct stopping position at the stop sign two
intersection and you cannot see the cross traffic at the intersection move
up until you can see treat it as a yield and then proceed so that's the way you
deal with a stop sign to intersect Blue Duck yes you are most welcome
thanks for the compliment and yes so we'll just wrap it up there nobody
else's any more questions I'll just hang around on the comments here for a few
minutes if anybody else has any questions by all means leave me a
question I'll be more than happy to help you out and yeah we'll just leave it
there good luck on your license and remember pick the best answer not
necessarily the right answer have a great night bye now
