How to Judge when to Change Lanes using the Mirrors - Blind Spots also

This is so helpful. I'm a nervous driver, I'm also a very logical and methodological thinker. No one has ever explained blind spot so clearly as you (I guess most people learn to judge distance by instinct which I somehow don't have!). Thank you so much!

Never too experienced to brush up on the basics. 27 years on the road and still find this video helpful

You made my day! I am a nervous driver and especially struggled with “distance perception” during lane changes. Being told, “can’t you see, just see that there’s enough space for your car to move in” didn’t have any meaning to me. I felt depressed I couldn’t understand what so many others seem to be able to pick up on, so quickly. So my life was limited to driving to the grocery store only. Your video was the first time ever in my 56 years that I understood what that “distance” meant. You explained it so well and meticulously. I can’t thank you enough. Your video helps people conquer driving, but there’s more to what you do with your quality video: You gave me a glimmer of hope. You’re a guardian Angel to someone like me, who suffered for decades that something was wrong with me, but all I needed was a careful meticulous a “real”detail what to watch out for exactly. There’s a lot of thoughtfulness and care in the way you’ve created your video. God Bless you and thank you 🙏 ❤

this made me so emotional, i am 16 and was rushed into adulthood. i live by myself and because of that, i had to learn how to drive/get a job. i never had anyone to help me drive and everything else was quite easy for me to learn EXCEPT distance/perception. now i must drive on the highway in order to get to work every day , so its crucial for me to learn how to switch lanes without fear of crashing into someone (because that’s very fatal on a fast moving highway!) so thank you. this has definitely helped me and although i’m still a nervous driver, i can say i’m more confident driving now that i’ve watched your videos. thank you 🥺🥺❤️❤️

The blind spots demo was great. I think there's a lot of myths about them. I reckon it is useful to cruise slowly along some parked cars and see what it's actually like.

I just passed first time with three minors and it's largely due to your videos! Thanks Conquer Driving, you taught me much more than my own instructor did!

I’ve always been nervous about changing lanes and did not know how to judge the distance of other cars to me. Thank you for this excellent explanation that answers exactly my question!!

Really helpful - I've had my license for over 7 years, but I've only just started to drive regularly, and merging does panic me a bit. As well as judging in the mirrors. Did drive for half an hour on the motorway the other day, and it was fine, but this was useful to find <3

Passed my driving test first time with zero faults on tuesday. Your videos had a huge impact and helped loads. Thank you.

This is probably the thing that sends shivers down my spine most. Most of it is to do with not wanting to hold anybody up so we panic and rush and then the dreaded “instructor wheel grab” happens. Thanks for the video. Excellent as always Richard

The advice given to me after passing my driving test, never stop learning!

This is probably one of your best videos, it is so clearly explained and it's something important to learn which unfortunately (at least in my experience) gets barely covered during driving lessons.

The details with which you explain is incredible. Thanks for the video.

I been driving for 12 years and still watch your videos to see if i can learn anything new.

Man, I can feel you are an intelligent driver, thanks

Man knows everything, gives you all the tips, and explains all the details while at the same time totally not giving a fcks about going the wrong way. Boss

This video has been particularly helpful for me. I have struggled with merging and overtaking as I found it really difficult to judge wether I had a safe gap, especially when merging I would panic with the added pressure of finding a gap before running out of slip road. Your videos are always spot on, Thankyou for all your help :)

"... we're not bird-watching". Gotta love Richard.

This video gives the best guidance on how to change lane. The rearview mirror method is absolutely the best.

This is EXACTLY the video I was looking for! The side mirror view with explaining the lines and when they appear/disappear was amazing! So many videos I’ve seen talk about it never show it, THANK YOU!
