@themott123 Hi thanks for taking the time to comment. The question of signals has been dealt with already please see comments 6 months ago. Basically it is not required. Take care, Bob

Nice Video But you are comming back a little far as you could get a mini in the space in front of you :) maybe tech "see tyres on tarmac" TnT. If you do drive frorward then you will probably get 1 minor in our area anyway. But different parts of the country different rules im affaid.

@cwmbrandrivingschool Hi thanks for the comment. The videos are intended for learner drivers and the requirements of the driving test are that the manoeuvre should be completed within TWO car lengths. Please no comments that may confuse learner drivers. "Minor" faults were replaced many years ago by "driving" faults. The rules of a driving test do not differ around the country, the important thing is to complete the test to the best of one's ability and leave the marking to the examiner. Bob

@themott123

He didnt need to signal as there was nothing comming @ the time & so Correct.

ONLY moving away & stopping you act on what you see. So may not need a signal.

BUT junctions & rounderbouts you need to signal as you cannot see whats comming up.

@cwmbrandrivingschool Please please please be careful with definitive statements. It is the examiner who will mark the test not us. Please also refrain from telling pupils that their instructor has "not got a clue". Bob

@nightice92

So if my obsovation was good ans my control was good but i was out 1 foot from the kerb i would pass? NOPE! I think you shouldnt listern to people who have not got a clue.

Like the video close to the kerb, And you can move forward but 50/50 might get a driver fault for it Deffinately not a serious mark.

Different cars have different stearing locks on them. I always use 1 full turn then to full lock. this is a basic Corsa, hope this helps.

Yes it is me. The camera was on a tripod on the pavement for the external shots and attached to the interior of the car for the internal shots. Methods of teaching vary. Full lock will generally get you into a smaller gap (than the driving test requires). I teach the 1 turn method as, I feel, there is less that can go wrong. Thanks for commenting. Bob

Bob is that you in the video out of interest? Why do some instructors recommend full lock right, instead of one turn to the right? Thanks.
