I was 21, as I recall. Heading into a breafast cafe. Saw a Texas State Trooper's car and stopped to admire the eqipment. On the dash was an acronym which read All Good Kids Like Milk. It stood for Aim high, Get the big picture, Keep your eyes moving, Leave yourself an out, Make sure the other guy sees you. I'll be 80 next month and I've never forgotten that sage advice, been driving that way ever since. And had zero accidents.........
I’ll never forget this guy speeding up behind us on the mountain road to Tofino. We pulled over, and he zipped past us. Sure enough, a little further up the road, we found him upside down in a ditch. Another motorist was already calling 911, so we kept moving-no point in interrupting someone in a hurry to have an accident.
Yep I agree but in the real world zipper merging won’t work. Some don’t know and get really aggressive about letting people merge infront of them when the merge ends 😅
I had a guy tailgating while i was going literally like almost 35 in a 25 speed limit street. I know i wasn't supposed to but that street is really narrow and pulling over could've cause an accident. He was angry beeping his horn aggressively. If it wasn't for laws oh man the things i would've done..but instead i just started recording and when the police ran his plate the car wasn't registered and he had no insurance. So they towed his chunk of garbage car,it was such a great feeling i tell ya' 🤌
I past today my test in canada, I dont have teachers only wacht your videos in RUclips and make all you leson and past the exam with perfect score, confidence 100% thanks!!!
I PASSEDD!! man I can’t thank you enough for those videos on turning and mistakes to avoid, I studied them almost everyday to make sure I had it ingrained in my head.
Great job! Luck favors the prepared my friend. You did the work and pass. CONGRATULATIONS! Where did you go for your first solo drive? All the very best, Cheers Rick
Well I guess my question would be if we're not supposed to slow down should we not increase following distance between the car in front of us if somebody is tailgating us? Wouldn't we need to slow down to create more space between us and the car in front of us? Thought if the car in front of us breaks suddenly if we allow more distance we can come to a slower stop so that the person behind us has more reaction time. Edit I guess I should clarify I'm talking about on multi-lane highways we're the person refuses to move left to pass
Do you have any videos that go over speed limit based off area for example like residential areas? I have difficulties telling areas apart because I haven’t experienced all of them or if I have it wasn’t a lot.
That's AWESOME news my friend. Simply incredible success there my friend. So happy to be able to help out be part of the journey. Where did you go for your first solo drive? All the very best, Cheers Rick
Hi Rick, great livestream. I hope that I can join some time. I have a question about judging your speed while driving down on steep hills on a curvy road. I recently had such a trip and found it difficult to judge the speed I was moving with. Sometimes I slowed too much on insignificant curves but the more scary part was when I was going too fast on an almost 180 degrees turn and I had to slam on the breaks while turning and the back of the car started skidding. Luckily there were no cars on the opposite side of the road but still it was not a pleasant experience. The advice I got from the other passengers in the car was to treat every turn as a sharp turn. But this doesn't seem practical because 90% of turns you can take with just a little bit of speed reduction but the other 10% of the turns you need to go as fast as 10-20 km/h otherwise you risk losing control of the car. What is your advice on this? How do you judge the speed you need to enter a turn with in order to have the best experience for you and your passengers? P.S. I am talking about going downhill on steep hills because this is where the car will accelerate the most without your involvement (especially cars with automatic transmission).

I’ve been driving over 40 years & I learned a lot from this video and/or refreshed my knowledge.

Zipper merge would be more effective if they advertised how to do it properly. I learned about it on RUclips after decades of driving
Yep I agree but in the real world zipper merging won’t work. Some don’t know and get really aggressive about letting people merge infront of them when the merge ends 😅
I passed my class 5 thanks to your videos Rick thank you so much ❤
Man these videos are the best. I love the way Mr. Rick explains things so concisely and clearly. I always learn smth new
comment so the algorithm recommends this to more people

Do you work as a CDL driver? All the best, Cheers Rick
Yes, strobe lights in Texas, here anyway.
Dude car man

Thanks for all the road teat tips! I live in the same town as you and hope to see you on the road 😊
But what if they tailgating us on a road that has one lane or the other lanes are closed due to construction?
Hey Rick, Thanks for your great work. I passed my driving tesr today. I have learned a lot from you.
That's AWESOME news my friend. Simply incredible success there my friend. So happy to be able to help out be part of the journey. Where did you go for your first solo drive? All the very best, Cheers Rick
@@smartdrivetest Haha planning to explore northern Canada😃
And, HEY! I STILL learn from your videos! A few things have changed...........

❤ I have learnt a lot from this video but parking and reversing is my biggest challenge. Please help me get over that. Irene Uganda
hi algo
Excellent
