  • 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.

  • 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.
