Smart Drive Test its me again. 3 days ago I told you that I passed my road test. Yesterday my daughter passed her road test . We both passed on our first try!!! In another few weeks my Son will be taking his. My kids and I LOVE your videos, we watch them almost every night. We have practice all your slow maneuvers that you showed us here on youtube. Please continue to make more videos as our learning has just begun because its so much different driving solo. Words cannot express how appreciative I am off your videos, thanks again and God bless you!!
Hi Leotha - I just found this incredible comment. I hope this is finding you well!? How is the driving going with you and your kids? All the very best, Cheers Rick
Smart Drive Test oh wow was not expecting a comment from you. The kids are now in college driving on their own, and I am now much more confident drive. I send everyone I know to your videos, so thank you again. All the best.
Thank you for continuing to be part of the smart driver community. Congratulations on the kids being in college. I bet you’re a proud Mom for sure! We’re still making videos, and the business is growing. We recently got a contract to doe defensive driving videos for AmeriGas drivers. Wishing you all the best, Cheers Rick
All very practical and useful tips! Thank you so much for sharing. Just took a trip to san diego, and I wish I knew some of these. I am prepped for the next one!
Hi Andrew Kan - thank you for your comment and compliment. RUclips SUPERSTAR ANDREW KAN IS ON OUR CHANNEL SMART DRIVERS - we must truly be doing something right!! Sorry - got carried away there for a bit! My family and I are planning a trip to Disney, and I was thinking about a trip to the San Diego Zoo - have you been? We look forward to hearing about your next trip. All the best, Cheers Rick
Thanks for your reply Andrew. Is Girl Friend the same as "girlfriend"! Do you get to go to Disney Land all the time!? Is it still fun! Thank you for the information about the San Diego Zoo. I'll definitely check it out. All the best, Cheers Rick
Great video brother! This will be my life soon. Building a van into a camper to move into so yeah, this video is one of a kind. Really loved the more in depth skill/creative type gems you put in. More like this! Maybe one for getting off a highway using an exit and then getting back on and continuing etc. Just an example! Thanks again and God bless brother. Cheers
Hi True Solutions - thank you for your comment and compliment. And the camper van sounds like a fantastic adventure. I'll put that video suggestion on the list - that is a great topic because often the way you get off the highway is not the way you get back on. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick God Bless
That's kinda da my problem as well I just got hired from company they put me on a truck and I was loss and google maps mostly take you to small streets. In a big busy city like where iam it's hard I'm super stressed out about it.
Hi it is found that havings google maps is the main reason since there is no need to remember the directions, do it without maps and get in a new route every time to your destination you will learn a lot
Hi Val S. - you are most welcome my friend. And thank you for the genuine compliment. Yes, Jill (the little guy on google maps) is a brilliant feature of google maps that allows you to use street view. How did we ever navigate and route plan before google maps. All the best my friend. Cheers Rick I'm still working on an expert for the post-crash trauma counselling. How are you doing with that?
Hello! I am 16 and received my learners permit 3 months ago. I am worried that someday I may not understand my way around reading addresses and locations. So far I only know my way around only by using the same routes I experienced before.
Hi James Got The Meds - follow the techniques and strategies in this video my friend and you'll be able to navigate anywhere. Drop us a note if we can help further my friend. All the best, Cheers Rick
Hey Rick I know this is off topic but sometimes with parallel parking I sometimes hit the bumper of the car to the front or the rear. Lightly, I even open the door a little to see how close but I still will sometimes miscalculate, Not something I want to make a habit of.
Hi Reesemoney 1400 - thank you for your comment and query. Have a look at these videos: ruclips.net/video/dJpMKkwEhxI/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/s-mY5BIQDHI/видео.html If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick
20:49 the GPS says turn left but you stay in the right lane since both lanes turn left. If this was my first time on this road I would still have tried to merge into the left lane in preparation to turn left. Is this a problem if I do so?
i know you didn’t ask me but i’d definitely merge onto the left lane to be safe if its an area i dont know. he said in the video he lives there so he probably already knew there was a double left turn and stayed in the right lane for that reason
im doing delivery and navigation has been so frustrating. thank u for the video. gps is not as good as old school techniques to be honest.gps is so frustrating to rely on. it always gives wrong directions. love ur tips.
What do you think about dash phone props and listening to google voice instructions while driving? Is that safe also or should one always remember the route before the trip?
Hi Steve Stevenson - Thank you for your comment. And yes, totally list to the audio directions while driving. Simply--DO NOT--under any circumstances while driving do you touch your phone. If you have to look at the phone for directions, ensure that you stop the vehicle. As well, there have been comments about having to have holders, but I'm going to look into that and will get back to you. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick
i got my license to drive last month and today... i literally had to call an uber to direct me home because i was driving for like 20 mins... i had to stop somewhere to figure myself out. and the google gps was just so confusing
Why do you keep showing the back of the vehicle?!!! I find this annoying! Like we know what check over your shoulders mean. You don't need to show us the back of the vehicle/behind you each time!
Actually, the reason I show it is due to the fact that you need to be aware of the traffic to the rear. Most rear-end crashes result in soft tissue damage which will plague you for months, if not years. Drop us a note if we can help further. All the best, Cheers Rick
Even though I passed my driving test, I often visit your channel again to get reminded and avoid the same mistakes.

I have been to Disneyland! Girl Friend works there, San Diego zoo, no. I have heard amazing things!

What I always find frustrating is GPS doesn't show back roads! Route recalculating over &over 😏

as a spare School Bus Driver i find memorizing different route to pick up kids or drop them off is very challenging..
i got my license to drive last month and today... i literally had to call an uber to direct me home because i was driving for like 20 mins... i had to stop somewhere to figure myself out.
and the google gps was just so confusing
Thank you
Hi Mahmudul Hasan - you are most welcome my friend. Drop us a note if we can help further my friend. All the best, Cheers Rick
😃
"I know it cuz I live here"
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I wish I at least had a street view so I can see what I'm dealing with 😭 google please visit my area 😭
22:00 i would probably have stayed in the left lane and go straight and probably crash
14:43 i would have turn right earlier instead zz
I prefer Apple Maps
