- How to become a better driver? Even the most experienced drivers don’t always know all the subtleties or nuances that can make driving easier. And most of them are convinced that if they know all the rules of the road, they’ll be ready for any situation that may occur. However, besides these rules, there are others that are no less important. And if you don't follow them, you may get seriously hurt even in a minor accident!
Do you know how to figure out if your vehicle’s brake pipes are in good condition? Or why you shouldn't lift your whole foot off the floor when you switch from one pedal to another? Or how to wear your seat belt properly? Well, these things are really worth knowing!

SUMMARY:
- When you're in the driver's seat, your knees should be slightly bent. If you feel that you need to stretch your leg to reach the gas pedal, move your seat forward.
- Your seat should be positioned in such a way that your hips are at the same level as your knees. If you can't clearly see out of all the windows or through the windshield, raise your seat.
- The backrest should be reclined at about a 100-degree angle. This is the most comfortable position for your body.
- The best way to hold the steering wheel is at 9 and 3. You know, this is when you imagine that your steering wheel is the face of a clock. Put your left hand where the 9 would be on the clock, and your right hand goes on the 3.
- You should constantly keep an eye on the state of your brake pipes and brake pads. Even the tiniest crack on a brake hose can result in an accident because you won’t be able to stop the car.
- To figure out if your vehicle’s brake pipes are in good condition, touch them. If they’re hard and crack when you try to bend them, they need replacing.
- You should also remember that your foot typically stays on the heel when you position it over the accelerator. But when you move it over to the brake pedal, your heel may not be able to touch the floor.
- The top strap should cross your chest and collarbone, and the lower strap should go across your hips. Do NOT place it over your belly.
- If your car’s seat belts aren’t adjustable, you can always slide the seat further up or back. If nothing helps, get a padded belt cover.

My Dad taught me that when driving behind a car or at a traffic light, always make sure you can see the rear tires of the car in front of you.
This is the perfect distance while driving in traffic.
@@incontrolofnothing1 not if you drive a semi
Thnx buddy
My mom said the same thing, it's a helpful tip
Social distancing :D
My driving instructor made us change a tire before we could pass. Also taught us how to get out of a skid. I’ll always be thankful to him! I’ve had to change many a tire!
@@whyismynamejeff atleast it's understandable
@@whyismynamejefffirst of all, completely unnecessary to call out someone’s English simply because you may be more “eloquent” than they are. Second, if you’re referencing “many a tire,” then it is grammatically correct. It’s an idiom, according to the Merriam-Webster website and is defined as this: “used with a singular noun to refer to a large number of things or people.”
Even one example proves so:
I've been there _many a_ time.
I hope you understand, and please do your research before conducting an unnecessary comment.
Sorry about the comment i am now a better man
@@whyismynamejeff it's fine
@@whyismynamejeff yt apology videos be like
Always lock steering when Park.
Remove the foot completely from the clutch pedal when driving.
use low beam on highways.
Use air conditioner blower on lower mode for better cooling.. (personal experience).
As a retired driving instructor in the UK I did teach my pupils what you have said except, you can hold the steering wheel at 10 & 2 or 9 & 3 or anywhere in between. Regarding the brake checks not all drivers have facilities to check under the car, but by regularly check brake fluid levels will identify a problem, also squealing or screeching brakes doesn’t always mean there is a problem.
It used to be 10 & 2, but they changed it to 9 & 3. Not sure why.
@@robertallred2368 The airbag, mainly.
Yes because squealing brakes can be because of rain as well.
Thanks for these tips
@@robertallred2368 because the airbags can break you hands when they actuvate
#1 is literally the first thing they teach you.
Not all driving courses teach you #1 though
4 too
@@HhfGs2478 these tips are mandatory in my country, u need to do all of those steps each time you have a driving lesson. EACH time.
@@MrDalgard Same, it's also the first thing they check when you're doing the driving exam.
if my hips were level with my knees in a car my head would be through the roof
7:06 never drive with flip flops
Alex Alekos why brother?
Virat Chandel because your flip flop can get stuck under the pedals
Take them offs and then drive
AJWH AMTHY or you know, wear shoes.
Speaking from experience. My husband wore flip flops and drove once and it came loose and got stuck under the accelerator and he accidentally hit accelarator instead of the breaks. We almost hit somebody.
When driving always use an indicator to indercate to other drivers on where you are going. Most people never use them or forget to use it
awsome, you said a noticeable point
Yeah some put a different indicator and turn in different direction
I found in the USA, down south, they don't know what your turn indicator is, as most people don't use them.
Not usually turn signals is the most moronic thing I’ve heard. I had a habit of using them before I even started driving. They’re so important. If you “forget” your turn signals you need to get tf off the road.
when i learned to drive my instructer said if you correctly position your car on the road other drivers should knoe what you are doing its called road craft and very few drivers thes days have it
I find that these are the most common and dangerous:
1) Texting
2) Putting makeup
3) Eating or drinking
4) Speeding
5) Not waiting for pedestrians whilst turning left on a green light
6) Worst one is reading a book or watching a show on iPad which I've seen twice now and shocked me the most and the worst part they were placed on a dashboard while driving on the highway.
I'd put tailgating and lane changing are the two most dangerous causes of road collisions.
You must be a crazy person if u did 6 like how u gonna focus on the road and show at the same time unless u had a Tesla
This is why we need self driving cars...
I agree also drinking and driving 💯
@@zyriuz2 you mean "this is why we need better driving insturctors and people who are actually paying attention and take responsibility for their actions"?
Check your tires on air frequently, same with the oil-meter. Soft tires cots you more fuel. Keep your windows clean on the in and outside, especially in wintertime. Always have a blanket with you in the back of your car, in case your car have failures in wintertime....❤️
i really appreciat your important point that soft tires cost you more fuel

Please make awareness video for Don't use high beam lights on city driving
And don't use those ultra bright headlight bulbs either. Especially if you have a high profile vehicle.
SO TRUE !!! In New York there are many vehicles are driving with halogen super bright lights.
They ALWAYS BLIND MY VISION going in opposite direction & I CAN'T SEE the ROAD IN FRONT OF ME !!! Those drives create dangerous situations on roads every day.
That's ok, in case of accident i WILL HIRE A LAWYER AND SUE THEM FOR using super bright lights that cause my blindness while driving on the road.
Bright Side: "the best and the only correct way to hold a steering wheel is at 9 and 3"
Also Bright Side: *shows person holding it at 10 & 2*
10 and 2 is correct.
@@Synchronised01 For cars without power steering. For power steering cars 9 and 3 is correct.
@@InsaneDark 10 and 2 became wrong when cars got airbag i think
10 and 2 goes for old type of cars
Here In India 10 2 is the common one
My dad taught me that whenever you approache an intersection, always look at the other vehicles approaching to see what they are doing. For example, you want to turn off at an intersection, and there are more than two vehicles that are turning in the opposite direction you intend to take, and look what the third vehicle wants to do, if it is a one lane road, you can turn, but if there is moer than one lane, be cautious, as the vehicles in ffont can cause a blind spot.
And one thing I learnt was that when a bus stops at a stop and you can't see what is going on ahead of the bus, wait till the bus drives off. Believe me, people do take chances, especially in Cape Town.
Exactly Patience is key
Better late than sorry
Very true 👍
A really important rule is to not TAILGATE!!!, and respect the 2 second interval rule,
2 second: dry warm road
4 second: wet road
6 second: snow condition
8 second: freezing rain
To calculate if you have a good distance with the car in front of, take an object on the side of the road, when the car in front of you pass it, start calculating second, up to when you pass the object.
There is also a security distance even when you are STOP at a TRAFFIC LIGHT, you must see the base of the tire of car in front of you. So that if the driver in front of you drive manual transmission car, especially in a hill, will get less chance to break your car if he fail his acceleration. Also, leaving that space with the car in front of you will prevent you from crashing into the car in front of you if some one crashes into your back
The distance in front of you at red lights or stop signs is actually to prevent slamming into the person in front of you if you get rear-ended
3-5 seconds in ideal conditions is what I teach.
That space in front of you is great for emergency. If the car in front brakes down or the driver won't move I can go around easily.
If stopped on a hill in a manual transmission now days cars come with hill assist. My 2019 kia has that and I flipping love it! I also have a tendency to rock my car back and forth if I'm stopped on a uphill.
@@tiffanymonson9270 what is the car name
Great advice, but also, don’t neglect to do a shoulder check before pulling off. Your mirrors don’t cover the blind spots of your vehicle. Also, as another user pointed out, wear proper shoes when driving. Flip flops can easily make you loose control of the pedals.
High heels don't help when driving either.
How about no footwear?
@@gardeniagirl1374 Well my mom said heels help her use the pedals she got small feet thats probably why
Some very good general input, which applies broadly. One thing that I wanted to note, is that for performance driving, many of us use one foot on the brake and one on the gas (as Sammy once said)- especially F-1 and related shifters, since it allows you to better and more fluidly place the car’s CG vis-a-vis the rear end. I have raced a wide range of cars, both amateur and semi-professionally, and can say that driving at the limits changes certain assumptions.
Great now that song is stuck in my head again.

Amazing video 👏
Thanks for the set adjustment information. I've been get leg pain when driving 375km to visit family.
Very useful, practical and knowledgeable.
Thanks for the sharing
Well, 1, 3 and 4 are taught and checked before you are allowed to release the handbreak. That's the basics. Number 2 is irrelevant to your average driver. Even if you told them to check their breaks, they would have no idea which parts to inspect and what should they look like. If you happen to know how your breaking system works, and where the potential faults are, some operations, such as balancing the breaks, are best left for a professional. Better advice to the average driver:
1. Do not use mobile while driving, not even at red lights
2. Check your tires regularly. If your country experiences winter, get some proper winter tires (studded for icy roads, friction/snow tires for snow and mostly ice-free roads) Proper tires may cost you $500 or more, but they may prevent material damage or even save a life.
3. Keep your distance to the car in front of you
4. Adjust your speed to the conditions
5. If you are a new(ish) driver or have new set of (winter)tires, go try 'em out on an icy/snowy and empty parking lot when no-one's around, or go to a slippery test track (People in the Nordic countries know what I mean, as visiting one is mandatory in order to get a license)
6. Keep calm and always keep spare wheel, high visibility vest, lamp/torch, warning triangle (preferably in a red casing) in your vehicle, and a bit of common sense between the driver's seat and the steering wheel.
I had the best day ever. My family and I went to church and my lil' cousin (14) and I hung out after. I took her to the _Cow Palace_ and I taught her the basics. To my surprise, she was a natural. We drove around for an hour or so and I taught her how to park. Out here in the Bay, _parking_ seems to be individuals' Achilles' heel. Lil' heffa wanted to take my car. We're going out next weekend as well.
As a person that has gone the knee pain I found that having the knee and foot lined up instead of at an angle gives better relief, less strain on the tendons, especially on long drives.
Don't use cellphone while driving

4 things BRIGHT SIDE forgot from Driving School :D
Sound Bros 🤣
True
Forgot or just didn’t fell like it?

Yes and there's my car where i feel uncomfortable because my knees are bent too much and i still have to reach forward for the steering wheel.
Safe driving.
Depending on the model vehicle equipped with ABS, it is normal for the brake pedal to pulse during ABS activation. Older models are usually more prone to this. Newer models are equipped with more equipment that prevents the ABS from affecting the pedal.
I strongly recommend every driver to go and do some drifting and mc rae rally somewhere safe to improve their instincts before they go on the streets. So in a dangerous situation they will know the car’s limits, how to avoid the worst, and be confident and not panic at any time
Saw this too late. Had to spend $700 fixing my car after a crash with only myself involved 😳
agree i raced cars in grass track best lessons ever in car control
Just remember to give signal whenever you want to go into left or right lane. Please have some consideration for other road users #beconsiderate
I learnt this 25 years ago and thank the person who taught me. My subordinate Me.Dhanajay Singh from Varanasi
@@ravisehgal.2694 also when we're stoppin, and when gonna start to drive from parkin on the road
#5 Always press clutch pedal fully down before braking. Atleast on slow speeds. This way if you by mistake press accelerator instead of brake, say on a bad day, it will save some life. From personal experience.
The nnl
Completely wrong. Never press the clutch while braking unless the speed is dropping to the point that its not right for the gear. You are going to free your tyres from the engine by doing so which means u lose engine braking and your brakes have to do all the stopping.
then you have not learned how to drive you only need to fully press clutch pedal when coming to a halt
You can learn more on youtube than you learn in school!!
Ahh... Be careful, you cant believe everything you read on the internet.... Or school for that matter, you learn more just by living life
I agree on that where you learn the most out of experience
@@Discoveringbandsbymichaelnagy yep,.... I didn't realize this before i commented, but ive watched your videos in the past! Good channel you have there! Keep it up man!
Thank you! I have a lot of big interviews coming soon as well :-)

1. Always check on your back seats if no intruder joined in your absent to drive away with you.
2. Always crose check the condition of your wheels before igniting
Thank you Sir for the Reminder🙏🙏🙏and advises,will keep in mind👌
Good to see this video.. Myself riding the car in bear foot which I can feel the level real acceleration and braking.. Seat position and other information is very nice...I learnt a lot about driving tips in youtube only...
Also a common mistake for those who live in hilly areas and are forced to park on an incline. San Francisco for example. Shifting into park. Apply the parking brake BEFORE lifting your foot from the brake pedal. It'll keep tremendous strain off the transmission.
I have a suggestion about using of view mirrors most of them don't know the use of mirrors.please add about the importance of rear view mirrors both outside the vehicle and inside thus we can make the idea about the width and length of the vehicle .mostly people don't adjust the mirrors according to our view
Thanks for this video. Helped a lot
Very very informative video, I like ur all videos, thanks, plz made videos on breading tips and tricks
If you’re reading this, hope you have a good day
Thx hope you do too😘
Thank you, I hope you do as well.

Sorry, I didn't read it.
I'm not.. I give up
I knew all of that at the age of 14. The first time I got to drive a manual vehicle on a freeway but then I started to go top speed at the age of 16 on my mom's 750li and my dad's A8L.
Thank you so much for this. It really helped 💯💯💯💯💯💯😉👍

One more thing in case you crash into water and car/truck starts to sink down and you can’t open the door due the water pressure you can remove the headrest of the seat 💺 and use the Metal sticks to brake the windows to make your Grand escape
These are common sense issues. But common sense Isn't common

good tips on the pedals.... seems intuitive for me. didn't need an instructor to teach that
Just binging all these old Bright Side driving videos because I start driving classes tomorrow.
You can also check your seat by trying to press the clutch pedal till its end... If it does, then you are ok
From my personal experience in the driving school I would suggest to familiarize with you gearbox, if you drive a manual. It should take you around 2-4 week, depend on how frequently you drive. That was the first thing I instinctly started doing. It later helped me quite a bit.
Also, for some the smoothest gear ups I had were on 2.300 RPM, and gear downs were just bellow 2.000.
the smootheness on gear change, either up or down, isn't related with being on low rotations. Going up will be smooth most of the time because unlike shiftdown, the rotation always go down when gear go up. On gear down we should aim for the oposite. But thats for fast driving, on normal conditioning doesn't really matter how fast you change gears, or if you heel and toe or even if you use the clutch pedal at all.
@@Ajax6969 I am not thinking on how fast you can change gears. I was trying to say that if it's your first time driving there is going to mistakes in shifting. I, for and example, have only drove a tractor three years before my driving exam, obviously two different shifters, and when I wanted to change into 3rd I accidentally shifted into 5th. It took be about I week to memorize how gearbox worked on my driving school car.
@@chodiloo i haven't said anything about changing gears fast as well, i think this might be a misunderstand. Sadly i know nothing about cyrillic script, even though i have some russian contacts. And i agree when you say that helps to learn how your gearbox works. That's more important if you going to change gears without use clutch pedal since the RPM for the window to that works will always be the same, But when you are going to do it the normal way, the RPM should be matched on reductions for smoother, on gear up doesnt matter much. That's what i meant, i wasn't saying anything about fast gear change.
Try driving an 18 speed Allison transmission. You'll learn quick enough how to rev match the road speed
@@seansecker9398 sounds fun.
Now this is something for the manual never hold the clutch down unless shifting if you're shifting you have to hold the clutch down but when you shift done shifting you let go of the clutch pedal or you damage your transmission
only the clutch is damged
Nice info explained in brief👍👍
If someone is driving extremely close behind you during the day. Turning your headlights on will Sometimes fool the person to believe you're braking and will also brake. But personally the closer they get behind me the slower I drive. Never let someone "push" you faster.
During winter and heavy rain the shield glass covered with fog so use hair moisturizer shampo mixing with water and wash the shield glass during trip..🇮🇳
Great video thanks for sharing it with us
Nice driving skills wating for more details thankyou sir
All of these were taught to me, just in less detail. The one I find very important is to check the mirror positions before you drive, especially if you have more than one driver.
I’m starting my driving lessons next Friday & i’m so excited! 😆😆😆
Did u got it?
Namaste Sir.
Thanks for all info.
The pedal trick is exactly what I needed !!
“Don’t move your foot away from the foot rest”
People with manual transmission cars
“Nah”
Same with people who understand 2 feet in an automatic is safer.
I always brake with my left foot. It's recommended when you're racing on the arcade version of Need For Speed Underground.
Ryū The Volcano Dragon 🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤦🏽♀️
But in reality, you won't get another life 😂🤣
This is not a good idea! Left foot braking you may not realize you're doing it but those who left foot brake subconsciously hold their foot on the brake as they are accelerating down the road. Those who do that in my area are a leading cause of many wrecks.
@@tiffanymonson9270 Its also a bad habit if you ever get a manual that has a clutch pedal (which obviously has to be operated with the left foot)......it will be a difficult habit to unlearn.
Are you tryna get us K-i-l-l-e-d?! Lol
It's really helpful..lot of info!!
The driving school from which I learned taught me each an every point telling in this video ✌️☺️
Well already said but always keep driving with 2 hands specially in summer days, i remember last summer it was hot and i was sweting and on the turn i slipped with the one hand i drove and almost crashed, really nothing anyone would you inform about
Thanks again for your help that's why I love you tube u can learn more than usual
Good informative video.Thanks.
I have driven full-size US cars from the 1970's all my life and still do.
With the only exemption of cars with bucket seats, headrests in these landyachts are always too low and cannot be raised high enough.
Always wondered what short people the seats were designed for.
By the way: driving in flip flops is illegal in some countries.
No! Headrests on both automobiles and airplanes are way too high for short women : they hit us at the top of our heads and shove our heads forward, rather than supporting our necks. This position is both unhealthy and unsafe. And it is very uncomfortable. Newsflash: everything in automobiles is designed for the average height MAN. Even crash test dummies are based on the male physique, hence more women die in severe accidents than men do.

Regular check up on vehicle is important
Especially engine oil,coolent etc

I no longer use 9 and 3 as my car has an airbag, I prefer 8to 4 so if the airbag deploys my hands go down. It makes little difference in controlling the car.

I didn’t go to drivers Ed but this will come in much handy

@@SD-ir1vf how do you get your license then?
@@Elitefromthebar I don’t know what you mean. The test is a joke. What’s your name yes or no. Being able to drive a car comes from actual experience in driving it.

I was trying to adjust my seat for weeks, this helped.
I learn something different in my defensive class they said you hand should be position at 8&4 while driving
These are mostly for short trip city drivers. Everyone that drives long distances do this out of comfort and convenience
#5 if you anticipate a collision, do NOT brace your arms and legs against the wheel and floor. Immediately climb out the driver's side window and run.
Wonderful! Thanks so much 🙏

for safe driving very important tips here. thank you
One very important thing that every driver should do before driving, especially at night, is to do a complete walk around your car with the lights on to make sure everything is working, including turn signals. I've learned this the hard way and gotten pulled over twice as a result due to one or both of my taillights not working. All it takes is a minute to avoid a potential ticket. Drive safe out there, folks.
It is also possible to hold the steering wheel
at 10 an 2
Thanks for your information
Can you please tell people to signal before changing lanes I’m just so sick of people not doing it
I'm a driving instructor... most of these are covered literally in the very first driving lesson. #2, "Check your brake pipes" (?) is something that should be done regularly by a professional mechanic, which is covered in our classroom sessions. The fact you're suggesting a driver be replacing their brake lines and bleeding their brakes (something which should only EVER be done by a licensed mechanic) is HIGHLY irresponsible!
Where's your school ?
Dont turn up the volume of your radio too high as it could prevent background noise from outside reaches your ear. Thus, causes accidents😊
Always turn the radio down in order to find the correct address as well as parking in tight spaces.
