Hi Jacqueline, I have a driver's license but I waiting to watch your new videos because your tips are very useful for every driver. You are an excellent instructor. keep it up.

I’ve been binge watching your videos, they’re super helpful. I’m currently studying for my written test. Driving has always been a fear in my life, so I’ve been avoiding it for a long time. I’m 29 and I’ve been giving myself pep talks because I really want to conquer that fear and really become independent. I’ve driven very very briefly but it wasn’t enough. So I’m hoping I’ll get my permit before the year ends. The more I watch your videos, the more excited and motivated I am!!!

Very important content-Thank you!!!

What if there are two cars in the lane you are merging to, and the first one is going too fast, so you try for going behind him, but that car won’t let you in either?
-
Thanks a lot !
-
dear Jacqueline! thank you so much for your videos! i love them all! i was wondering about this one .. i have a question ... say we are driving on the freeway and we say the desired exit... do we have to slow down a bit to take the exit road more smoothly? thank you!

oh thank I really need this video am so scared of highway

these are unusual (to me)l on-ramps with the traffic lights that make your car stop just before entering the accel. lane. That's be unwelcome in most cases, particularly if one is in a car (truck) with mediocre acceleration. Haven't seen these here in Buffalo NY, although I seem to recall some "traffic metering lights" on the on ramps in Phila that would only allow 1 or 2 cars on each green (the green cycledvery frequently)..however, these lights were further back from the "gore point", ie. not right before the acceleration lane. Good video, although I think some are needed showing merging in traffic that is near full capacity of the highway but still flowing near speed limit. IMO, that's the trickiest time to merge.
