@@SiRhodesDriverTraining Yes. I got the right filter, so moved off. At first my instructor was telling me how far forward to go to make the turn; "Keep going. Keep going" but then I lost the filter. I should have stopped, but was too focused on getting into position to turn to realize. I lost focus on the lights. As I'm still edging forward, waiting for the instructor to tell me when to start the turn, he begins saying; "We can't turn yet. We can't turn yet." Meaning, we have lost the filter, so we must wait. I misunderstood that as him telling me we haven't gone forward enough, so I kept creeping forward, waiting for him to tell me to turn. All of that in just a few seconds. Then I just hear; "You've f**ked up big time now!" Thankfully the traffic held back and we barely made the turn, but it was a frantic combination of myself focusing on the wrong thing and the instructor's instructions not being very clear. We were on two completely different pages. I asked him; "Why didn't you just say stop???" If I hear stop, I stop!
@@2KXMKR We have all had mix ups with instructions at times. That filter is fast at times and even in the car, if the learner sets off a bit too slow we can lose it. It’s a long run up from stop line to point of turn as the stop line is far back so big vehicles can exit Newbrook Rd.
@@SiRhodesDriverTraining Yeah, a few mishaps today, but only my second day out in an artic. Never driven anything larger than a Merc Sprinter. Some of the roads around there are horrible. Sending HGV's around there is brutal!
Good on you for letting the bus driver go ahead of you, the other day my older sister was driving and she was going to merge lanes to give a bus driver more space to merge into her original lane and when she indicated, checked and then started moving, someone on their p's sped up and almost hit her and also beeped at her, if my older sister would've been hit it wouldn't have been her fault as she had checked and the other driver sped up, so thank you for being a responsible driver.
@@Richard-Bullock self importance is a big issue mate. Also, this was an ideal scenario to when not to stop. At first, the Ambulance may not have gone the same way as us so, if we did stop, we are causing more problems. Whilst going into the new road, the ambulance indicated to turn the same way so deal with it then. Too many people stop dead when they don’t need to. I’ve even had them stop in front of me when an Ambulance is coming the other way on a completely clear road.
@@helenweatherby1694 it was one of my earlier attempts at a video and you are correct, the text does goes quick. Best idea on these early ones is to pause it to read the text. I now don’t put as much in the text box.
There’s only 1 thing that confuses me, I always thought you’re not allowed to cross a solid white line to enter a hatched area but in the online book know your traffic signs it says you must not cross a solid white line to enter a hatched area except for the reasons mentioned for double white lines under the overtaking lanes section.
You can cross a solid white line to overtake a stationary vehicle blocking the lane or to overtake a bicycle horse or road maintenance vehicle if they’re travelling at 10mph or less so if they’re doing 11mph then overtaking them on a solid white line is not allowed, unless they’re going very slowly then it’s pretty much impossible to work out if they’re doing 10mph or more or less, best to play it safe and wait until there’s a broken white line.
Gosh that was crazy. I was wondering if you would mind if i used this particular clip in one of my dashcam videos as i think it raises a great point, fully credited and linked to you of course . If no though no worries and have a great weekend :)
@@SiRhodesDriverTrainingas an instructor you should know that just bc someone is in lane it doesn’t mean you should trust them to follow what the markings say😂😂 white van drivers make their own driving rules up
@@thethreemusketeers6045 you can tell by the manner of his driving he come round 1 round about straight to the next if he was indicating it would have been from the first round about because it don’t knock of until you straighten the wheel unless you click it off manually and he was continually going right after the first round about in a unsafe manner as well and stopping for no reason on a roundabout is very unsafe. A good driver would have slowed down not stop have a cup of tea then continue round 😂
I don’t get it, is this a cross road or intersection because I feel like the learner was fine to wait until it was clear to make the right turn but also if it is a crossroad then they can wait in the middle waiting to turn right as you instructed him to do?
My student stopped in the wrong place. They needed to go into the centre like I said. That would give them time to clear the junction before the opposing traffic set off. Where they stopped was too far back and, if they had tried going, would have been in the way if the vehicles from the right.
@@SiRhodesDriverTraining before the opposing traffic sets off? They set off at the same time we do so we just have to find the gap and carry on no? Also if they had tried going how would they be in the way of the vehicles from the right? They just clear it when the lights go red again or there’s a safe gap?
@@marco7838 I’m not sure what you are asking. This is the same junction, done correctly though ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Z2fI0auLZhw.htmlsi=4g3CUebMeqIv6Ifi
@@SiRhodesDriverTrainingso to clarify this was a crossroad right? So your student should have been in the centre waiting for a safe gap to take the right turn.
did you use your emergency brakes? If so id say that was the wrong call, he had already started moving when it was green, emergency stopping meant he was past the stop line. Yeah he did something stupid, but we shouldn't cause more danger just to make a point.
No danger at all look at the Dashcam clock. We stopped at 36 seconds, the traffic was coming at 40 seconds, there’s no way we could have cleared in 4 seconds. These are very fast lights, there is around 2 seconds of red until the other traffic gets a green. We were still on the line. The Dashcam distorts distance, you can still see the stud of the far side of the pedestrian crossing An examiner would have done exactly the same, I’ve had students fail there for this exact reason and the examiner has stopped them provided they are on the line
@@SiRhodesDriverTraining ah ok, if you were behind the line fair enough, but yeah it does appear like it was before which if was the case I'd have said just go.
@@fireburn95rs yes, definitely. I’d have not been popular with the LGV instructors if I’d have been over the line as there was no way any would get round from the left if we was over. Also, the speeds involved. My student hadn’t even let the clutch up fully before I intervened as I was ready for the lights to change so we was probably 2-3 mph when I stopped the car. If the speed had been higher, over options like keeping going may have been appropriate. I only downloaded the front footage, but it was a colleague behind with his student and I could see them discussing what mine had done wrong. I was actually conducting a mock test which is why I was silent. If it was a lesson, depending on the students level, I may have verbally instructed. In this case, this was best and safest option 👍
@@SiRhodesDriverTrainingwait that filter arrow showed he was allowed to turn right now. So how could he have waited in the middle if it’s green only to go straight ahead? I don’t get how he can wait in the middle if there was no filter to turn right. Especially when the next set of lights started for other cars. He would’ve just blocked all those cars.
