These are excellent videos and I am really grateful to you uploading them. I have my module 2 in the next few weeks, so these are good refreshers on top of my lessons. Thanks!
At 1.46- 1.47 there is a steep hill to the left. Say a driver is coming down the hill, sees the motorcycle on the inside lane indicating right, assumes that the motorcyclist is going full circle & thus proceeds onto the roundabout (as the vehicle has momentum travelling downhill away).
The motorcyclist didn't get in lane until 1.57 (almost a full ten seconds) later & therefore could've invited traffic onto the roundabout. Would've been safer to change earlier
I totally understand why it is safer to stay in the centre but do you know if DVA really expect riders to ride 'well to the left' or do their oppinion vary. I am just not sure where to ride on my test. What do you advise your students?
Hi, I really like your videos and they are a great help. However I am a little confused. You suggest staying in position 2 for straight riding/normal riding but DSA's book suggest 'keep well to the left for normal riding'. Can you please clarify. I am in England,could that be the reason?
@786free1I sent you a message as it is difficult to limit the answer to 500 characters. Please look at the first 40 seconds of my video, 'Steering & Balance Faults' & you'll see why 'staying well to the left of your lane' is not best practice in my opinion.
Staying 'well to the left of the centre of the road' is, in my opinion, a safer place to be (usually where a car driver would be sitting). Dominate the road space around you for your own safety: riding near the kerb is just inviting trouble.
if this was a real test would the driver pass the test? ive been driving a car for 23 years and now have decided to go for my bike test, the thing is i have to unlearn 23 years of car driving, any tips?
@1Gsxrider For the standard test refer to 21 C (d&e) "Junctions Turning Left/Right - approach, observation & cutting corners cover the usual faults. However, if you turn from a major road into a minor road from the middle of your lane then it is possible the fault will be marked here.
Cutting corners is a bad habit brought on normally by either poor slow control (slipping the clutch) or trying to take the turn too fast.
Really thanks for this. i'm just about to do mod 1. but this has really helped me for my lessons on road. It's very basic thing to do but when youre novice putting it all together is hard. like i say many thanks.
So for multiple lane roundabaouts. If you want to go out of exit 3 (or right side) you have to be in the inner lane then after the junction before the one you want you change to the outer lane?
basically that is the idea but you have to remember that roundabouts differ in shape, size, as well as the number of exits they contain, the number of lanes on them and so on- then you have double roundabouts, compound roundabouts, roundabouts that have traffic lights on them, pedestrian crossings..
there is no definitive answer except to read the signage, read the road markings and choose the correct lane for your exit in good time (bearing in mind the traffic conditions)
@learn2rideVIDEOS mate, when you need to stop and your in 5th gear and say i drop down to 3rd can i stop in third? pull the clutch in and brake, then ready to go slowly release the clutch and apply throttle, insteading of dropping to 1st
@G00g284 This is marked on your riding test form under 12c Gears - this fault is marked typically when people attempt to pull away in a gear other than first. Normally this will accrue a driving fault. The examiner will tend to look more deeply into this if he / she feels that this is a problem for you. Therefore, if you find yourself being asked to pull over and stop several times, chances are that the examiner is concerned that you are failing to change down gear properly.
@G00g284 You also need to remember that stalls at junctions, crossroads and roundabouts, etc., are frequently caused by trying to pull away in the wrong gear. This will be frequently considered a serious fault as invariably you will have moved out into the road a short distance- or a dangerous fault if it puts you or another road user in jeopardy, upto and including another road user to swerve or brake. I put a link in the Info for this vid for more detailed info. Hope this helps?
@learn2rideVIDEOS thanks for replying even though it was a bit late, but i went back to my cbt for the 3rd time monday and i've got the shifting down to first when were about to stop/planning to go sorted, just my safety on the road etc i need to learn but i will be doing it on a moped next time so i dont have to shift etc, shud be easier
good stuff

Do all dedicated lanes have arrows painted on them or can they be unmarked as well?

@suedog100 In my experience, most will be marked: but do be aware of any secondary signs indicating otherwise.

Position 2 is not good as the road is full of crap and no car wheels go here I keep in position 3 for normal road driving.

I would of said at 2.10 the rider might of been a little too far in... i really dont like giving car drivers the oppertunity to over take too closely
