Your videos and your calm approach to the challenging driving situations are really help a lot. You know so well what the new drivers might be going through. That’s such a professional approach. You are not only just passing on the knowledge and experience of driving, but also you are making it so easy to learn by the tone of your voice and your smile. It’s not only a driving lesson, but also it is a therapy lesson for the newbies 😊. The videos of your channel are so great, they have helped me a lot, I can’t describe how grateful I am. Please keep up your good work!

Thank you so much! Videos where you change lanes and record the mirror at the same time are extremely helpful! Judging whether it is safe to change lanes by using the mirrors seems challenging. Please do more lane changing videos, both left and right side lane changing, normal city driving lane changing, highway lane changing, and merging with cameras pointing at the mirrors.

I'm scared of freeway driving but now that I'm across the country from my family i have to learn how to do this if i wanna do road trips. One day I'll take a trip to Colorado but thats a few states from where I'll be living so I need to get better at freeway driving

It's Jacqueline! Jacqueline you are a hit! A great teacher!

Thank you Jacqueline for your very helpful tutorial. You have such a sweet, beautiful and calming smile! I appreciate all the tips and detailed guidance, such as need to see both headlines of the car behind in the rear view mirror, or left mirror (and knowing the car is waiting for you to merge). Keeping a quick glimpse at the blind spot is also an important tip. I will follow you closely, Zutobi and Jacqueline!

Great video on highway driving! The tips for entering and exiting the highway were really helpful. Definitely going to apply these techniques on my next drive. Thanks for sharing!

Great video! Drivers be aware that some highways in different states have even slower speed limits for off-ramps. Here in Los Angeles on the 110 highway there’s off’s ramps about 10 feet long with a posted 5 mph speed limit. Of course the walls of those off ramps have been kissed multiple times by cars 😅
