    Excellent video as always. Please don't take this the wrong way and perhaps it's jus the my perception but:
    1. At around 1:46 when your instructor pulled away, did he actually also perform an over the shoulder check for blind spot?
    2. At around 1:53, was it neccassary for the instructor to keep his hand on the gear lever for several seconds before changing gear? Could he have kept his left hand on the steering wheel longer and only moving it to the gear lever when ready to actually change gear, then immediately move his hand back to the steering wheel, thus minimizing the time with one handed steering?

    • @AdvanceDrivingSchool
      @AdvanceDrivingSchool  4 года назад

      Thanks for your comment. The clip you mention was taken from another video, and if you click this link ruclips.net/video/rKqdFlzILZc/видео.html you can see that the blind spots were checked - but to save a little time on this video they weren't shown. At low speed there is no problem controlling the car with one hand - but once up to speed we try to use both hands wherever possible. 👍🏼

      As long as there is no standing water then we should be fine. If we were to aquaplane then the car's traction and electronic stability control would react faster than we could in any case, so it's no problem to use cruise control in our opinion.

If I approach from 8 o clock and want to go 6 o clock. I could use the right hand lane but that would spit me out onto the overtaking lane when leaving the roundabout. Am I allowed to use the middle lane to go right even though it only has a forward arrow?

    • @AdvanceDrivingSchool
