My driving school should be teaching me this. I'm paying through the nose for "move it around! does it look good enough for you." What BS, how do I know what's good enough! anyway thanks for doing this ..
I don't waste 20% of my mirror surface, seeing my own car, as I know it is there 😂 and instead turn the mirrors further out, to cover more of what is on the side of the car
In the US, the driver-side mirror is not convex, so setting it up so the side of the car is visible in the mirror results in the same view as the inside rearview mirror, and a car in the driver-side blindspot (the "X" zone in this video) is not visible in the mirror. Instead of duplicating the inside mirror view, set up the driver-side mirror to start approximately where the inside mirror view ends. You can get this by leaning over and pressing your cheek against the driver-side window, then setting what you can see in the outside mirror to just be seeing the side of your car. Then sit normally in the seat and adjust the mirror only in the vertical direction so the view is leveled down the road.
Strongly disagree. There is no need to see the side of your car in your side mirrors. A wider angle, allowing greater vision of the lane/s beside is far more beneficial than checking out your paintwork.
Hiya remember that the side mirrors make things look further away and smaller than they actually are. So without your car for reference you wouldn’t be able to tell if they’re alongside you - going away from you - or heading towards you Also the dvsa book Driving the essential skills also recommends to do it this way.
@@DriverTrainingLtd the mirror distortion can be compensated for with experience. With my mirror setup, I can maintain constant visual contact with a vehicle from my rear view mirror, to the side mirror, to my physical eyesight. There is a single sliver of blind spot behind my C-pillar on the left side (left hand driving country), which is easily covered by either shoulder checking or manoeuvring my head slightly to get a different angle on the mirror. And with all due respect to the DVSA, the ambulance service who trained me taught a different method to the DVSA.
@@christopher135 Yep, taught to have basically a third of your mirror showing your car in school, and be able to see the ground by your back tire so you can line up for parking in parking spots. I realized this is dumb and limits your visibility drastically, and now always set my mirrors out until you can just barely no longer see your own car. Allows for a much easier time seeing traffic around you. When to change lanes or not is something you learn from experience and by using your mirror and looking before changing, not something I'm going to learn from a specific mirror position.
I set them as wide as possible while still seeing just a small bit of the sides. The horizon on the top third of the mirror, no need to be watching the sky.
Great videos. Clear instructions in plain English. I will be sharing these with my other colleagues as well. I am getting ready for my part 3 and these videos are so helpful. Thank you so much. ❤
If a pupil agreed to do something independently, should you allow them to try and make the mistake, pull them over after and talk about it again OR if you know a pupil is doing something wrong for example finding a bite on a down hill slope, should you prompt them about it and ask if they need to find the bite etc before it happens? Confused on whether you should allow it to happen or prevent it by prompting them?
@mrzed3034 that’s a great question thank you very much if after allowing a student to try something independently but seeing that it was not going to work. It would be better to jump in with prompted or to at least say hang on wait a minute. Wherever possible it’s always better to stop the mistake happening then you would go to prompted so at the moment we’re facing downhill we’ve got the bite point, so What do we think is going to happen when we release the handbrake? Or With the car facing downhill, even if we didn’t have the bite point what is going to happen to the car? As soon as we release the handbrake? the pupil will respond - the car will start rolling that’s correct so do you think we need to add the bite point to that as well? It is always better to identify the fault and then stop it happening if possible. This comes under the marking sheet of - was the instructor aware of the pupils actions
@@DriverTrainingLtd ok, thanks, so then you mentioned ‘you would then go to prompted’ because the level of guidance changed from independant to prompted, do I have to make the pupil aware of this? Do we then need to talk about changing the guidance and letting them have a go again?
its signalling meaning its turning left into the road! You don't signal left to mean you're going to drive across the front of someone on the wrong side of the road and then park illegally!! Lol
