In this video I explain how to make a tight turn without hitting the curb, wall or any other obstruction. This video is useful if you need to drive in very narrow streets with tight corners that have no view or turns where you have to reverse.

This guy single-handedly saving people headache. Everything he's ever said, I've used it. And I literally learned by myself (despite being enrolled in a driving school; they taught me nothing).

@rida7862 2 года назад

All they want is money tbh! , i am learning with husband atm but this bean helps so much more! Literally everything we need to know ! Infact an online instructor! And his videos are not ridiculously long either! He gets on with the job and gets it done instead of wasting time and making learningboring like the rest of the channels

I don't live in the UK, but I'm watching these videos to learn the basics. I couldn't agree more. My instructor only told me to check mirrors, he didn't tell me HOW to check mirrors. Saw a video on this channel, now I have a good idea of how to use mirrors.

Funny how every instructor fails to teach students anything and you find a random guy on RU-vid that makes it seem a piece of cake. Very good advices, I'm also struggling a bit around sharp corners, my instructor couldn't explain when is the best time to fully commit to the turn, can't wait to test this on the road :)

@serarakavono9255 11 месяцев назад

Yes same here with my instructor from 🇫🇯

@BDFProtector 9 месяцев назад

You will find 95% of instructors are only interested in their pockets and pass rate. They are only taught how to make you pass a test, not in how to drive. In rare exceptions like here you get someone that cares that little bit more, and makes this fine are a little bit more enjoyable. Now if we can get everyone to drive in a little less hurry the roads would improve 10 fold

It's important for learners to understand that when needed (and when safe) it's totally fine to use all of the available road space.

@ConquerDriving 3 года назад

Absolutely true!

@lexsoft3969 3 года назад

It means that at 11:30 we can do that in one attempt by using available space on the right side before turning at that corner. That is what I do in roads at residence area.

@lanceareadbhar 11 месяцев назад

@saadyaqub4576 3 года назад

God bless you. You have no idea how much you've helped me learn. I live in Pakistan, about 5200 miles from where you are. I've struggled to learn how to drive smoothly for weeks and your videos have helped me drive a million times better in two days. No instructor where I live and no one even on RU-vid, delves into all the nuances that annoy a learner or scare them or make them panic quite like you do. I now have a solution for almost every problem I've encountered during my learning period. I would like to make a request, if I may. I've seen your videos on reverse parking, but I wanna ask you to make a video or a series on reverse driving. Reverse driving still intimidates me. I find it hard staying in the middle of the lane while reversing and not hitting the sidewalk when going or turning backwards. In this video you've explained how to turn around a tight corner when driving forwards splendidly (i.e. make sure you can see a considerable amount of empty space through your side window before turning), but how can one judge trying to REVERSE around such a tight corner so as not to hit the corner or the bend? Again, thanks from the other side of the world. You're a gem. Keep it up.

@ConquerDriving 3 года назад

Thank you. I do plan to make some more reversing videos.

His "put your knee in the middle of your lane" tip is actually game changing. I was hesitating to try at first because i think "what about my car?!" But damn, when you do try it feels natural and the car is very predictable for some reason.

@kundankanan9074 Год назад

this is a very good video.. applicable in lots of countries and places with narrow streets.. sometimes the lanes can be narrow that you can't take out car in one go. In that case, what I do sometimes is go wide as you have suggested and try to aim short of opposite corner across where you risk B pillar. Then turn wheel back in opposite direction, come back a bit and then forward again and it goes through.

Funny how I’ve been a professional chauffeur by trade for years, casually raced cars with my friends in recreation. and I realised despite my long driving experience, there’s still much to be learned. Must admit I still kinda struggle with turning correctly to this day as I just normally played things by ear since the day I learned driving and still somehow luckily manage to get away with it. Hehe. Your instruction has now helped me gain added knowledge on how to really do things the correct way. Thank you for sharing and adding to my driving skills! 👍

@justashzz 6 месяцев назад

I passed my test on the first try with 0 faults. But that didn't mean I can drive. In real life without all the poles or cones indicating when to turn and stuff, I'd have no clue on how to gauge things accurately My biggest fear is doing things that end up hurting myself, or worse, other people as well, especially those with children. I'm in Malaysia and DAYUMN these people drive so recklessly. Doesn't help that we're given turns that are too close together and often have to change two lanes within 300 meters after entering that short road. Your videos have helped me tremendously with being more comfortable on the road and developing habits/thought processes required to be a good driver who understands that I simply borrow a small space on a shared road Thank you, sir!

7/2/22 3:32 - make sure to see some part of the road when turning to be sure you won't hit the curb or wall (also slow down and always check for other cars/bicycles/people first) 11:40 - if not sure, reverse and steer all the way to the opposite direction you are trying to turn (don't reverse quickly, be safe and slow)
