    So you stop at yellow?

    • @smartdrivetest
      @smartdrivetest  Год назад +16

      Yellow is the beginning of a red, NOT the end of a green Yes, if you can do so safely bring the vehicle to a stop. See this vid for more explanation: ruclips.net/video/jX1366utbuY/видео.html Drop us a note if you have further questions. Cheers Rick

      @@smartdrivetest Hi rick, I have a question about this rule. If the light is green and you proceed through the intersection, but turns yellow are you saying that's an automatic fail? If so that wouldn't make any sense. It's safer to proceed through the light then to stop on a dime and cause a traffic collision. You can't predict when the light will go from green to yellow, so on a test the safest thing to do would be stop at every green light you see in case it turns yellow, but we both know that makes no sense.

      ​@@revolution545No, that's not what he's saying. Basically, if the light turns yellow before you get to the intersection just stop. You don't want to risk it on the test. If you want to risk a red light on your own after the test, its on you

    • @revolution545
      @revolution545 Год назад +1

      @@SpaghettiNachos that’s still dangerous. If you are a tenth of a millimeter from the intersection, you shouldn’t abruptly slam on your brakes. If you are close to entering the intersection, you still shouldn’t slam on your brakes. There’s tons of gray areas in driving. It all depends on how long the yellow light lasts, how close you are, etc etc. but if you’re too close to the light and you slam on your brakes that’s very dangerous.

    I failed my driving test when a big cardboard box fell out of the van in front of me. I focused on avoiding hitting it and didn't pay attention to the traffic light, so went on yellow turning red. The instructor said shit happens and while I failed, it shouldn't discourage me because otherwise my driving was fine. Passed a month later.

    While practicing yesterday I encountered a big moving truck parked on the side of the road with traffic going on the other side, so I slowed to a stop, signaled, waited until it was safe on the other side to go, checked my mirrors, looked over my shoulder, went around, looked to see if there was no one behind me with the mirror, signaled back in, looked over the shoulder to my blind spot before fully merging, and carried on. Hadn't done it before, but I had sorta treated it like I was passing in normal conditions.
    I had also encountered the dreaded yellow light on my left turn while I was in the intersection, and thankfully just completed it before the light turned red. If traffic had been particularly heavy, I would have waited behind the line. This time there was the added bonus of someone illegally passing me on my left when I was in the leftmost lane since they were so impatient. I'm glad I wasn't going terribly fast and I was paying attention to my mirrors because it spooked me a little, and I had to break. I had time to break because of my speed and paying attention to what was around me.
    Then I had to pull over for a long line of cop cars. Saw them coming, signaled over, looked to see if I could pull over safely, pulled over, waited until they all passed. Then I signaled to go back in, looked to make sure it was safe by checking mirrors, over the shoulder, merged back in to continue driving.
    There's also road construction. Tis the season, so I obeyed the signs and made sure to be extra cautious.
    Then there were jaywalkers downtown. In that section, I usually go a little slower because I know people like to walk out in front of traffic there.
    So, I got a 6-for-1 yesterday. XD My test is tomorrow, and I don't think I'll encounter this kind of thing again when taking it, but I'm glad I did what I was supposed to. My mom was pretty impressed at least.

    Aside from my class 3, every road test i've taken I had to parallel park between 2 vehicles, I took my learners in a Toyota sequoia and when it came time to parallel park the examiner asked me to park between two vehicles. As we got closer he says "oh that's tight, let's find another spot" to which I replied "I can fit in there". He was being generous trying to give me extra space but I was confident in my abilities, practice and be confident

    One unexpected one for me is when I turned left, the construction worker suddenly gave a stop signal on me, which I followed but as a result, the car I was driving still not completely out of the intersection behind me. Thus, it will obstruct traffic or the car gets hit on the upcoming traffic.

    How do you Exiting a Private Road or Driveway like if you were exiting a fast food parking lot and trying to enter the main road again? What if you need to get all the way to the left. Do you turn into the closest lane and then signal and get over? I did that yesterday and it caused alot of cars to be frustrated with me and slow down. I had to cross two lanes to get to the far left so I could make my turn if this makes sense. Should I have immediately exited the parking lot into the far left lane when it was safe?
