- Hey there, fellow road warriors! It's your good old reliable driving instructor Micah here, and today we're tackling the most exciting turn of them all - the right turn!
Now, I know what you're thinking - "But Micah, isn't the left turn the most exciting one?" Sure, it's fun to dodge oncoming traffic and make that wider turn, but the right turn is where the real challenge lies. You've got to avoid clipping the curb and parked cars while making a much sharper turn. But don't worry, I've got your back.
First things first, before you even think about turning, you need to assess the situation. What's the traffic like? Are there any pedestrians or bicycles around? Is it a four-way stop or a one-way street? You gotta know what you're dealing with before you make your move.
Once you've assessed the situation, it's time to prepare for the right turn. Gradually slow down and put on that turn signal, but don't get too close to the curb just yet - you gotta check that blind spot first. And here's a pro tip: when making a right turn, always move towards the right curb after signaling. It's like dancing with your car, but instead of a partner, you've got the curb... it's actually nothing like that... just making sure you're listening.
Now, let's take a look at some different scenarios.
If you're at an all-way stop, remember that it's "first come, first serve." Make sure to check your blind spots and the crosswalk before turning.
For two-way stops, where cross-traffic doesn't stop, you stop first and then inch out into the intersection and angle that steering wheel to the right. You're like a driving ninja, smoothly guiding your car through the turn while checking for any incoming danger.
And when no stopping is required, if you're feeling particularly daring, you can make a rolling right turn! But don't get too cocky - make sure to slow down before the turn and keep a close eye on your surroundings.
At the end of the day, it's all about visualizing where you want to end up and confidently steering your way to victory. So buckle up, my fellow road warriors, and let's conquer those right turns!

Yeah I am frustrated just after my 2 days class. So I am here to get more tips 😢
The best description of right turns. I learn better from you than my instructor. THANK YOU
Glad to help, thank you for the support!!
Your video teaching is far better than driving school teacher Lubbock.
Wow, thanks so much!
This is the best driving video I've seen for turning. I'm a new driver struggling with turning, although I'm much better than when I first started. If only my instructor had told me all of this. I especially like the blueprint for making the right rolling turn. This is a fantastic video. Thank you!
Thank you so much for the kind words, glad we could help!!
I have a couple of friends who prefer to let the steering slide back in their hands to its straight position when completing a turn. Whereas other people prefer to manually turn the steering wheel back. As for myself, I prefer to do it manually like you and the rest of the people who are like us.
Thank you for sharing! And thanks for keeping both hands on the wheel too!!
Just had my first lesson today but didn’t feel very confident at all with my turning so here I am lol.. Thanks for these videos!
Thanks for watching, glad we can help out!!
i failed my drivers test yesterday. I go back in two weeks so im here to get some pointers on turing.
Sorry to hear that, but best of luck to you on your next try, you can do it!!

I am just learning at 30.
Best of luck! @@juliajonez
I learned this at 22 but still haven’t pass my test. I am going into my fourth test.
Same
Seems like you're playing with steering and that's where my fear begin, still not in control. Really a great video, i will try this in my next class. Thank you.
0:55 Some say it is more efficient to pivot the foot between brake and accelerator. I kind of agree with that.
I'm really struggling with rolling right turns , I'll use some of these techniques and hope I'll help. Thank you !
Best of luck to you!
@DriversEdDirect
Hi there. I was really, really having a hard time with the fear of hitting curbs and making turns on right turns. I applied the strategies you mentioned and it's helping ALOT. I drive more smoothly and with more confidence now. I wanted to say thank you and please keep doing what you all are doing.
Very good
Thank you!
Thank you ❤
You're welcome 😊
I came back again in this video to simply say "Thank you" to both of you for this simple and yet very informative video (same thing goes with the Left Turns Video)
Last oct 22, i passed the final road test and got my driving license. we got our car last 6th of nov. and i've been enjoying it.
whenever i make right and left turns i remember you guys. :) Thanks a lot.
This may not be the only video/channels i watched for car driving lessons/tips but this channel is one of the best choices for those learning how to drive safely and defensively.
God Bless your whole team.
P.S. this does not mean i will stop watching videos from this channel, there's still a lot of things to learn.
Thanks so much for those kind words, we appreciate the feedback and support! Be safe out there and CONGRATS to you on passing and getting a car!!
I’m here to watch your video I’m practicing until mastery of the turn left and right
Thanks for watching!
Thanks!
🙏🏻 Thank you so much, your support really means a lot to us! Please stay safe out there!
thank u left turns are much more and i always need to turn the wheel in that lane i wanna go in
Thanks for watching!
Thanks 👍
You're welcome 👍
This is very helpful I have highvanxiety when it comes to driving I come down a little hill to a red light do I use right mirror I seem to always over steer it
Thanks for sharing, you'll get better the more and more you drive.... pretty soon all your right turns will be PERFECT!
At the intersection at my right turn I couldn’t see but I stop and the stop sign completely and rolled Down to see just to get a fail because he said I don’t stop at stop signs but I couldn’t see the road
Hello!! Thanks for sharing and so sorry to hear that you failed. Without seeing the situation first hand, it is hard to speculate what the examiner didn't like about your stop before the right turn. The most common things they may have been checking for in this situation might be:
- Did you come to a full complete stop behind the limit line before you rolled forward to get a better view? The examiner needs to feel your car completely stop (wheels lock)... about 2-3 seconds of actually being fully stopped is appropriate.
- When you stopped before the limit line, did you do full traffic checks of the sidewalk and road by looking left-right-left and over your right shoulder (blind spot check to the right because you will be turning right)? If you did a full stop but did not do all of your traffic checks before rolling forward, that could also be an auto-fail.
Hope that helps! Best of luck to you on your next test and thank you for watching!!
Now this is what I needed I take my test on the 29th so please wish me luck
Best of luck to you on the 29th!
Good luck!
Thanks
Welcome!
Do you have a video for, exiting a parking garage--needing to turn right---but a semi is parked literallly in the right lane, so now you have to either turn left but can’t see what’s coming on the right, being forced to be diagonal in the right lane or swing to the left to make the wide right turn to make your original right turn, note two way single lane street. PLEASE ADVISE
Thank you so much..very helpful!😊
Thanks for watching, glad it was helpful!!
Wonderful sir. Could you please make the video of the vehicle having steering on right side of the vehicle.
Hello! I am so sorry, all of our driving here in California is done from the left-hand-side of the vehicle. Best of luck to you!
check out Conquer Driving here on youtube, he's in the UK and steers from the right side of the vehicle.
Best best ❤️
Thank you!
thank you about right turns i think i get it
You're welcome!!
I usually allow the steering wheel to get back straight on it's own, while holding it slightly. Is that wrong for the driving test 🤔
Hello! That is completely fine as long as you maintain contact with the wheel as it "slides" back into position as you complete your turn... you described it perfectly, "holding it slightly". Your hands need to be in ready position to take full control of the wheel in case of an emergency situation.
Hope that helps!
@@DriversEdDirect Yes it helps. Thanks
If there are pedestrians on yields if the signal green can I take right turn without stop or do I have to yield for pedestrians if the signal is green
Hello, always yield to pedestrians even when you have a green light. If a pedestrian is in the crosswalk coming towards you, you should let them reach the sidewalk before turning. If the pedestrian is walking away from you, let them get at least halfway across the street before making your turn. Hope that helps!
I prefer the push pull method
Can we stop beyond the stop line to look at the blindspot if no pedestrians are present? After you move from stop line whats the speed limit to clear the blindspot?
Hello! I am not 100% sure what you are asking, but after you stop at a stop sign but need to roll forward a bit more to get a better view of traffic, you just "inch out" or "roll forward" at a very slow pace. The slower you go, the better! Your speedometer might only hit 1 or 2 mph. Hope that helps!
@@DriversEdDirect I got your point and when you roll forward at 1,2 mile speed if you dont see any vehicles do you need to make 2 nd stop or can you go by increasing speed?
@@nazmashaik390 Hello, it depends on the situation. If you can see clearly after rolling forward and everything looks safe, then you can just make your turn without stopping again. Of course, if you see a car or pedestrian coming after you roll forward and it is not safe to go, then you would stop again and wait until everything is clear for you to go. Hope that helps!
Question. Do you have to always shuffle the wheel back to normal position? Cause I’m pretty sure it straight on its own right?
He answered it literally 10 seconds after I wrote this comment. Amazing video 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ha!! Thanks for watching and sharing, be safe out there!
When doing right turns, do I always have to turn into the right-most hand lane? How do I know if it is a driving lane or not? Am I allowed to turn right into parking lanes and bus lanes? My road test is tomorrow and that is the only thing I am nervous about.
Great question! You want to turn into the rightmost lane that is a driving lane... so you would not turn into a bike lane, bus lane, or parking lane. If you do accidentally turn into a parking lane, don't panic. Just make sure you make a proper lane change into the driving lane (don't just swerve over). Also, keep in mind that if you don't turn into the rightmost lane, it is NOT an auto fail, it is just one point off. If you accidentally turn into the middle lane, for example, just stay in that lane and don't panic - do not swerve back into the rightmost lane - that would actually be a potential auto-fail.
Hope that helps!
1:00 ok but why he have to look at us like that 🤣🤦♂️
what is the best thing to do if you must stop near the curve before turning but there is a fast approaching car from behind?
Hello! Great question. This is why it is important to always be aware of your surroundings. If you notice fast moving vehicles behind you, then make sure you slow yourself down more gradually - this will force the cars behind you to begin to brake sooner. Also, if you leave "escape routes" in front of and around your vehicle, you'll be able to maneuver or move out of the way when dangerous situations arise. Hope that helps!
one thing I don't understand is what are you supposed to do if there are dangerous vehicles behind you? Not slow down? Just barrel through the intersection and hope for the best?? If I'm driving safely but they're driving way too fast and close to me what can I really do about it to stop them from rear ending me?
Hello and great question, you are thinking like a true defensive driver! Because you can't control the actions of other drivers, you have to do your best to set yourself up for success. For example, if you know you need to slow down soon but notice someone coming too fast behind you, start slowing down sooner than normal and slow down more gradually so that the driver behind you will be forced to also start slowing sooner and have more time to react to you. Also, there will be times where you are thinking about turning, but you notice the fast car charging from behind, so you might change your mind and decide not to make the turn at that intersection and wait for a safer situation further down the road to turn right. Also, create space cushions all around your vehicle so that in the event of a tailgater approaching quickly and about to hit you, you have some wiggle room to pull forward a bit or even move into another lane safely. Hope that helps!
@@DriversEdDirect thank you so much! This is really great advice!
I have a test in Friday night I suck at turning wish me luck
How did it go?
@@DriversEdDirect I pass I mess up two 🧍🏽♀️ I guess the turning in the bike lane got me nervous
if not comfortable , can i wait unitll red light turns green although there is no pedestrians ?
Hello! Yes, you can definitely wait for a green light to make your turn. There is no law that says you have to make a right on red. However, just know there may be situations where drivers behind you become impatient and honk if they feel you are not making your turn when all is safe. Learning how to turn on a red light safely and legally is a good thing - but until you have more confidence, it is OK to wait!
@@DriversEdDirect Thank you so much !
Don't most modern cars return the wheel back straight automatically after a turn completes and u let go
Hello hello! Yes you are correct and that topic is covered here: ruclips.net/video/8jGVnb4ab2o/видео.htmlsi=hDnuBj5oF3uAoS9Q&t=859

What should be the speed in alleys?
Hello!! The speed limit in an alley is 15 mph.
Source: www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/handbook/california-driver-handbook/laws-and-rules-of-the-road-cont1/
I’m confused. I was told that I had to let the wheel slide back on its own in my hands for the road test, is this true?
Hello! Yes, you can definitely let the wheel slide back through your hands as long as you keep contact with the wheel at all times. This is a technique we teach after students have mastered the other counter-steering techniques, demonstrating they can fully control the wheel properly.
Thanks for watching!
I’m turning too wide and I think it’s because I accelerate before turning the wheel, so my question is should you turn the wheel before accelerating on a right turn?
Hello! As you go into your turn, you should be slowing down and or coasting, but not accelerating. When your mirror passes the curb (as in the video), you can then start turning your wheel to the right and you will still be slowing down or coasting at this point. You can finally start to accelerate as you counter-steer back to the left to come out of your turn. Check out these parts of the video for help with this:

Is it ok to do a spin back on a driving test
Or the slide back to the middle
Hello! Great question! The main thing you need to do is maintain control of the vehicle at all times. If you let the wheel slide back to the middle position, that is perfectly fine but you must do it smoothly and in a controlled fashion, making sure your fingers (both hands) keep contact with the wheel as it slides back into position - that way you can easily and quickly grab the wheel at a moments notice. Hope that helps!
I am a new student now practicing to get my license can someone tell what can help
Hello and best of luck to you! Definitely read the DMV Handbook several times and hire a driving instructor if you are able to. If you don't have access to an instructor, try to practice (assuming you have a driving permit of course) with a patient and knowledgeable adult driver who can guide you. Watching videos can help too, but ultimately getting behind the wheel is what will grow your skill. Start off in an empty parking lot to learn the basics before heading out onto neighborhood streets. Once you have mastered the neighborhoods, then you can start practicing on busier city streets. Again, always have an adult licensed driver in the passenger seat next to you.
Hope that helps!
@@DriversEdDirect thank you 🙏🏻
the driving instructors I've got right now are constantly telling me to let the wheel slide back into its straight position on my turns and I have so much trouble doing that. None of the videos I've seen here on youtube have instructors that are enforcing that. My brain just doesn't want to let the wheel slide. I have a fear of driving, and anxiety,
so I don't like letting my grip off of the wheel like they keep telling me to let the wheel slide. (my palms are also sweaty during lessons because of my anxiety and I've explained that to them but they don't seem to get it) It's made me not want to go back and get more lessons from them because I constantly feel like I'm doing everything wrong and they won't move me on until I start letting the wheel slide back.
Hello! We address the slide back technique here: 14:13 - but the reason we don't teach that method FIRST is that we feel it is important for our students to learn how to control the steering wheel using hand over hand and the shuffle method. These concepts ensure that our students can skillfully control the wheel, and once that has been demonstrated, we will teach the slide back technique as well. Again, there is nothing wrong with the slide-back technique and it is actually preferred for most turns once you get the hang of it, but there are other methods of counter-steering that provide more control in certain situations.
Anyway, for your specific situation with anxiety and sweaty palms, please hang in there! Trust us, it will get easier over time and will someday become very easy for you to execute. Until then, just know that there will be some patience and practice involved to get there. But you can do it!!
We've got this trust me. I think we are in same situation. I have phobia for driving, if I have a choice, I wouldn't drive at all. But now I am more determined than ever, working on my fear and hoping to have the confidence to go for my test after winter
