The cornerstone of changing lanes safely and properly is to communicate your intention.
And remember, "signals are to tell other drivers that you wish to move over, not that you are moving over!"
Too many drivers fail to ask other drivers via their signals to help make a gap for them to merge and change lanes effectively.
If other drivers are asked and you give them time to react and respond, most of the time she/he will slow and make a space into which you can merge.
For the purposes of a road test and for safety, you must have 3 flashes on the signal before changing lanes.
The purpose of the the 3 signals is:
1) the first signal gets the attention of the other driver;
2) the second signal allows the other driver to locate your vehicle;
3) the other driver takes appropriate action.
In tandem with communication, you have to observe.
Before moving your vehicle laterally, ensure that you shoulder (head) check, and after the 3 flashes have completed and immediately before moving the vehicle shoulder check again.
And ensure that you leave your signal on until you are completely in the lane into which you are moving.
Good luck on your road test.

So does the head check here mean mirror check?

@smartdrivetest 6 месяцев назад

See this vid: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uJ4w63wZyFQ.html Head check is a skill unto itself my friend. Often, at the same time that you're head checking, you're turning on your signal, and checking the mirror too. Drop us a note if you have further questions. All the best, Cheers Rick

@rqlk 2 месяца назад

A “head check” means turning your head to check your blind spot. Your blind spot is located in the window next to the back seat on the side you plan on moving. There is a large area on the corner of your vehicle that is not in the field of vision of your wing mirror, your rear view mirror or you front side window. This area is large enough to completely obscure a small-mid size car. You must also do a head check and mirror check when crossing a bike lane to enter a right turning lane, for example. Another blind spot is located behind the driver side “A pillar” and usually hides pedestrians. You must check around that “A pillar” when turning left towards a cross walk, for example. Failing to check either of these blind spots is an accident in the making.

@victoriashaw6389 3 года назад

Mercy Mohan hey! I’ve been driving for two years now. I’d say the biggest things that helped me get past my fears were to take it at my own pace and to trust myself. The odds of you getting in an accident are slim to none, especially since if you’re anything like me you’re hyper focused to the road. You can get past these fears and it will become second nature to you! Just keep watching videos and don’t give up! You got this 🥰

You said that and I had a common sense epiphany. Everybody else on the road wants to get where they are going safely as well- nobody wants to be in a car accident. So they are going to cooperate so everything goes smoothly. (I always just kind of thought, I don't know what other drivers are gonna do and worried they would do the wrong thing)

@CircumstancesNeverMatter 5 лет назад

I always get so anxious soon as I signal like I have to hurry up and move like the other cars are gonna be expecting me to merge immediately but I realized I was over thinking and scaring myself. 😥

I have trouble changing lanes both because I pay too much attention to what’s behind me than what’s beside me and I don’t give myself enough room. This makes my lane changes less comfortable and I find myself second guessing them. What I’ll try to do is build a routine on changing lanes. Three turning signals with a shoulder check and then one final shoulder check after the three turning signals.

@clcsqueejy04 3 года назад

I'm 30 years old and have been driving for 15 years. Although most of this stuff is intuitive at this point for me, I still have a lot of anxiety with changing lanes in heavy traffic or other drivers overtaking me from the wrong side. In particular, I learned a lot from your handling of the situation at ~13:20, trying to switch into the right lane, while a speedy driver was overtaking you on that side -- that always makes me nervous, but your handling of the situation (keeping the signal on for the rest of traffic, holding steady, and waiting until he passes) was very enlightening. Watching this was a good reminder to stay aware of the road but keep calm and not to panic -- seems like most near accidents are due to panicky or ill-managed communication. Was actually really fun and informative watching this whole video, despite my tenure as a licensed driver. Thanks for the nice video, great work you're doing here!

@eyesuhkattspeleeng 3 года назад

Hi, Rick! I passed my driving test a little under 3 months ago and I commented on the other video to say so but I want to thank you again and ask a question because there’s still a couple of things I’m having troubles with. Your videos were so helpful and I still find myself watching them and going over things even still because I want to be a safe driver. So, I’ve been having an issue with looking out of my left side mirror, specifically when I’m yielding to traffic coming off the interstate. My city has two major interstates running through it and while I’ve so far not driven on it because I’m not comfortable yet, it’s something I want to work my way up to. I feel like merging on to the interstates is going to be a huge problem for me because my brain doesn’t seem to like to compute what I’m seeing in my left hand mirror and while I still do shoulder checks, its hard for me to really gauge my surroundings about when it’s safe to go. I try to avoid taking the access roads unless I have someone riding shotgun with me to help but I’m not always going to have a passenger. I have no issues with the right side mirror at all. Maybe I don’t have the left mirror adjusted as it should be but following the advice of others, it is. When I’m stopped at the school to pick my kid up, I practice looking out it and when I drop him off in the morning, I have no issues with moving away from the curb but when I’m on a flat surface and not at an angle (such as on the curb) it doesn’t want to compute. Any advice on mirror adjustments or any other advice regarding using the left side mirror to merge on to a freeway?

I don't have difficulty changing lanes. I got my license when I was 17 and now I'm 49. I moved out of state with a ticket and let my license expire for over a year. I went back to the other state and got my ticket cleared up. Like you mentioned people who are driving for many years get into different driving habits. I need to retake the road test. Your videos are coming in very handy, especially the lane changing one. I got in the habit of turning on the turn signal, looking in the side mirror for it to look clear then when it does look over my shoulder to be sure and then get over. However for the purpose of the road test they want everything a particular way. That's where your videos come in very handy. I'm definitely going to try to get a mock road test in if possible as well, thanks for that tip too!!

@premiumbackgroundmusic 5 лет назад

Hey Rick, thanks for the response. Well, what I had a problem with is changing lanes in heavy traffic in a city scenario, that would be a useful video for me. For example, how to change lanes when the lane you're in is moving slower than the lane you want to go in so you can't match speeds, and it's a very heavy, congested traffic situation with lots of crosswalks, pedestrians etc. I failed my exam in this situation because I cut somebody of, I had to change the lane in order to make a right turn and just couldn't find enough space to do it.

@smartdrivetest 5 лет назад

Hi PeterM - Thank you for your response. I know it's intimidating on a road test, however, if an examiner wants you to make a turn and you just can't change lanes, some time you're going to have to abort. Then it's up to the examiner to get you back around. Some times aborting a manoeuvre is needed to ensure safety - especially on a road test.

Thank you for the video! I feel like nobody ever gives me space. I'm possibly not matching traffic speed - because everyone here speeds and I'm trying NOT to get arrested!

Thank you for this. I'm a 3 months driver now. And I'm still having fear changing lanes. I feel safe when someone is with me to guide me when to turn. But when I drive alone, I'm still nervous to change lanes. I need to practice my shoulder check now. Thank you for this video! Done clicking the subscribe button❤

@smartdrivetest 6 лет назад

Hi The Machinery - Thank you for your comment. Remember to signal, and slow down the manoeuvre. You don't have to be in a hurry - you've got time. Just take your time and observe. That in combination with the communication will ensure that other drivers give you a hand. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick

@rubyred9834 5 лет назад

I love how you say that driving is a social activity. I never heard anyone put in that way. I haven't gotten my permit yet. But, I have past the test online and failed when I went in to take my permit. So I'm guessing I need more study time.

@smartdrivetest 5 лет назад

Hi Nijera Corley - Thank you for your comment. The term I've coined for that is "social driving". It simply means that driving is a social activity and there are different cultures of driving. And yes, you just need a bit more practice my friend and you'll be awesome! If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick

@_M27_ 5 лет назад

Well here in holland that is not the case... here they don't give you a break to change lane and are very impatient. This is very frustrating sometimes when taking a drivin lesson or even just regular driving🙁

@smartdrivetest 5 лет назад

Hi Thyrone Williams - Thank you for your comment. And in my experience when drivers tell me that, I find that they don't put their signal on and request for other drivers to give them a space. Remember, signal are to request that you wish to move over, not that you ARE moving over. If you put your signal on early with lots of notice, most of the time other drivers will work with you and create a space...regardless of where you are in the world. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick

Changing lanes are nerve wracking, its scary, but newbies needs to be brave and commit

@lizjay1016 5 лет назад

Great video!

@ShaandaarDevi 6 лет назад

To answer your question. Yes. It is so important to mirror and shoulder check before changing lanes. Remembering that driving is a social activity really does help because sometimes I get a little anxious feeling like I need to change lanes as soon as I signal, not trusting that the people behind me will let me get into the lane fast enough. If I am not careful I find myself drifting into the lane as soon as I signal only to shoulder check while turning, get honked at as I realize that there is a car coming up in my blind spot, and have to swerve back quickly. Not good. Thank you for this video.

@smartdrivetest 6 лет назад

Hi ShaandaarDevi - Thank you for your valuable comment. One of the reasons that the vehicle deviates when you shoulder check is because your shoulder check is slow. Speed up the movement of your head; quick 90° snap - that will prevent the vehicle from deviating in the lane. And if you ask, people are always will to help you out and give you hand!! 👋 And you are most welcome. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick

@AnonYmous-ry2jn 5 лет назад

Could you do a video on highway driving, particularly changing lanes? Should one accelerate slightly to ensure a gap between you and the car that will be behind you, compensating for the possibility he me be going faster than your backward (and mirror) glance suggests, as well as in case he may unexpectedly accelerate?
