Most of the time, I just go slow and pray I don't hear a thud, a scratch or a crunch.
-
I wish my instructor had the patience to explain this to me instead of shouting at me for being scared to proceed between a parked car and an oncoming car!!!! Trying this tomorrow 🙏🏾

1st rule of driving: slow down if you're unsure. Narrow spaces/lanes, bad weather, light changing to amber, unexpected situations, etc. No test administrator will fail you because you slowed down in a difficult situation, that's what you're supposed to do. It gives you time to think and react appropriately, exactly what they want to see you doing.

I’ve been driving for 60 years ( without a moving accident) but still found this guy a great help. Well done.
-
If only all driving instructors were this good👏🏽😭😭
-
You’re a very good “teacher” and communicator who takes out all the jargon and leaves us learners with only the things we need to know so a huge thank you.
-
I've taken so many hours of driving lessons and still I tend to overthink and lack the confidence to drive in difficult settings. Thank you for addressing the problems learner drivers have with empathy. Enjoyed watching your videos and seeing the UK streets.

As someone who self taught myself how to drive all i can say is no matter how much tutorials and classes you watch driving is all about feel, and everyone sooner or later develops the feel of driving and then their own way to drive.
-
I struggled for ages with my positioning on the road and used this today on my driving lesson and it worked a treat, even the instructor said my positioning has improved massively. Thank you.
-
This is so strange, just got back from a driving lesson yesterday and the main thing I was unsure of was narrow lanes and parked cars and how to know I’m not going to clip anything, and then this video gets uploaded haha. Thanks a lot, this was really helpful
-
- "There is a solution!" - Straps a GoPro on his forehead. 😅 But in all seriousness, thanks for all your videos. Great, great help!
-
Im not even from the UK, we don't even drive on the same side of the road, but your videos actually help me
-
Me thinking to myself : Why the hell am I watching this, I'm already familiar with my car and I did well on the driving exam. Video : "-because I remember sitting there thinkin-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" Me : Subbed
-
This video is EXACTLY what I needed. I'm very confident in most of my driving but once I'm on an undivided two-way road with cars parked on the side it gets scary. Thanks for the amazing tips!

That GoPro on your head is so incredibly helpful!! When I first started practice driving, my mother would sit in the passenger seat and yell about how I was too close to the curb. Last week, she yelled about how I was too close to the midline. It left me feeling very confused about my placement, second-guessing myself, and that resulted in a lot of mini-zig-zags. No good. Getting to look at proper placement through your eyes is like a breath of fresh air! Thank you <3

This man goes above and beyond. Really puts his soul into this, it’s safe to say I’ve never come across something like this in my entire life, from instructors to family cousins with cars who always give excuses when I wanna learn driving using their cars and talk about how their always late to go somewhere or how the car needs a fixing hence I wouldn’t get it!
-
I ve got my driving license today and your videos were very helpful for me to pass the driving test ,thank you your videos are great
-
Yeah, I remembered seating in the passenger seat for the first time, and having this perspective shock, wondering why we haven’t hit anybody
-
"What I do is that I use myself to judge where to place the car. I am not actually using myself to judge how wide the space is." 👏👏 This is actually a very good advice in relationships and self improvement as well!

Man I'd love to have this guy as a instructor!
