11:20 - You can minimize "shoulder checking" if your mirrors are set properly. Unless you are driving a bus, coach, or tractor trailer, you should not see any of your own vehicle in your SIDE-view mirrors

" let them go have their crash somewhere else." That's savage as hell. Lmao

I passed my driving test this Thursday! Now I’m watching this video to help me feel more confident and safe on the road as a new driver. Thanks so much for these instructional videos, Rick—we appreciate you!

Good stuff. Heres a helpful tip to reduce anxiety and frustration...if you have following distance and somebody cuts you off (does a lane change right in front of you) and you get upset, just say to yourself "with my good following distance I helped that person do a safer lane change". Many of these people will cut you off even if you dont have good following distance. So why not just have good following distance? And when someone cuts you off think of it from a different perspective - a helpful perspective. This will reduce your own road rage and reduce your own distractions. And most importantly forgive others for their offensive behavior as Jesus will forgive yours.

Great video; one of my favorites. I run a driver ed program at a local high school in Massachusetts and I show your videos in every class. You do a great job of presenting the material in a clear, concise and fun way. I'm a fan. Keep up the good work!
-
you have very nice tutorials and tips. I passed mine today :)
-
my problem is I know how to drive and the rules of the road very well, but knowing and doing is two different stories. My footwork between the gas and the break is very choppy, and that increases my anxiety. how do I fix/get comfortable with that?

Your the dad I wish I had when first learning to drive! After not driving for 6 years, I’m back behind the wheel and confident

I think drivers should HAVE to take a refresher course every 5 years!? And I hope they are teaching how to control your rage in schools. Too much violence Going on!

Hi Rick, Vancouverite here (actually, Surrey). I passed my road test today after watching tons of your videos. I must have watched your mock road test video three times. I can't afford driving school so I'm super appreciative that you've created so many helpful resources for learning drivers like myself. This video will help me to stay safe now that I have my N. Thank you so much! :)

Speaking of distracted driving, in my high school driver's ed class back in the late 1990s, before cell phones were prevalent or smartphones even existed, our classroom driver's ed instructor bragged about regularly applying her makeup, including mascara, while driving. She had some way of using the rearview mirror to do this. She always looked fine, so she was good at it. She didn't recommend that we as her students do this, but I found it bizarre even when I was 16 that a driving instructor would either do this much less talk about it to a group of high school students. I wonder if she has since mastered texting while driving & brags about this to her classes. No, I never did any of this myself, feel most of us were probably intelligent enough to know this wasn't appropriate driving behavior, but you never know...

Advice about difficult or dangerous left turns: Obstruct Traffic! in a lot of cases bad left turn situations can be avoided simply by going a bit longer by making repeated right turns so as to end up on the desired route. Better than sitting at the intersection through multiple light cycles.
