Thank you so much for posting these vids. I passed my MOD2 yesterday down to the tips and advice from watching your videos! They are the most helpful Bike test videos on youtube! Thank you very much again

A life saver is a rearward glance over your shoulder to check the blind spot that your mirrors do not cover.
If you're changing lanes it is important to perform a life saver because you can see the traffic coming from behind. You don't want to change lane and career into the path of a car or motorcycle. The point of a life saver when moving off from a stationary position is to check for cyclists/motorcyclists.
Life savers are called "life savers" for a reason.

Thanks for making these videos and responding to all my questions. I just passed my test today, watching them and your advice really helped me to progress!
Cheers
At 2. 54 you approach parked cars on your side and say to perform procedure for parked cars , ie Right-hand lifesaver....but then you say indicator...which indicator? This is new to me, is this just for narrow streets with lots of parked cars or also for a single parked car? Thanks again.

@moscowvespajoe right indicator- on the video it is slightly misleading as the commentary is just ever so slightly out of sync with the video at that point.
DSA 'Riding The Essential Skills' states, 'Signal- if necessary' (Pg 119 Obstructions).
A few viewers on Youtube from the UK have said that they didn't have to indicate around parked vehicle(s) on their test.

@learn2rideVIDEOS
thanks for the tip. If it's in the DSA guide, I'm guessing we shouldn't be marked down for doing it? It makes sense to do it..Thanks again.

@moscowvespajoe very welcome. There are a number of publications out there to help new riders. Some argue about how good / bad they are which is a matter of personal opinion but it'd do no harm to read , Learn To Ride All In ONE Book, THE OFFICIAL DSA GUIDE TO RIDING THE ESSENTIAL SKILLS, The Highway Code, Know Your Traffic Signs, Theory & Hazard Perception software & The New Motorcyclists Handbook. A lot of info & vids on the Learn2Ride Facebook page Notes section also.

So when we are turning LEFT we do a RIGHT and LEFT hand lifesaver and when RIGHT you do just a RIGHT?

@G00g284 depends on the situation. Watch my my two videos, 'Why a right hand lifesaver when turning left?' and 'OSMPSL', have a think about it and then get back to me with any ideas.
