[4 WAY FLASHERS & DRIVING A MANUAL CAR]
Hi there smart drivers. Rick with Smart Drive Test talking to you today about...
what am i doing? Housecleaning for manual transmission. We I did a video on
Wednesday about that and talked about putting it in neutral when you're
sitting at a traffic light. And I just wanted to talk to people and make sure that they
are aware of the survey. as well I wanted to talk to you quickly about four-way
flashers and when you use four-way flashers on your vehicle had a
discussion over on the smart drive test mastermind group at Facebook and
certainly and went on the replay here look down in the description and I'll
put the link to that mastermind group over there go over there and sign up and
join the discussion it was a really great discussion there were correct
answers on everybody's part and I just wanted to tune into that and talk about
that a little bit you'll probably notice in the background here on in a different
place in the world and I'm actually visiting my good friend Tim Davis here
in Hollywood on Vancouver Island Callwood is one of the suburbs of
Victoria which is the capital of British Columbia so that's what we're gonna do
today I'm going to talk a little briefly about the manual transmission so we've
got an overwhelming response with people in North America who put it into neutral
delight and then just hold the foot brake now a lot of people from Europe I
know it's a different culture over there especially in the UK that they put the
manual transmission into neutral and then put the handbrake on so that is
something different that they do there so if you those people from Europe could
check out the survey and post the response that would be really great that
would be helpful because as I said I'm gonna do a follow-up video on that and
talk about your throw bearing in your clutch and see whether that actually
prolongs the life of your clutch and as well one of the other things we're going
to talk about now is it just talked about poor weight flashes and when you
use four-way flashers Victoria Eagle posted it on the in the mastermind group
if she was backing up in a straight line whether she had to activate the four-way
flashers and if you're backing up in a straight line in a passenger vehicle no
you don't have to activate the four-way flashers on your vehicle you simply put
into reverse and when you put it into reverse on a passenger vehicle the
reverse lights will activate and as soon as the reverse lights activate that
indicates to other traffic and other drivers that you are reversing now if
you are in fact turning while you're reversing then you need to activate a
signal ie parallel parking for example because you're going to move the vehicle
to the right if you're on the right side of the road if you're on the left side
of the road you're gonna move the vehicle to the left so you're gonna
activate the appropriate turn signal for backing up to indicate to other traffic
that you're reversing not only are you reversing but you're also going to move
the vehicle laterally so you need to activate your turn signal now when do we
use four-way flashers and passenger vehicles anytime that you are a hazard
or obstruction to other traffic and I know that doesn't give you a great
definition of when to use your four-way flashers on a vehicle you don't want to
use your four-way flashers to just you know I don't know tell other traffic
that there's bad weather for example we other drivers know that it's snowing out
and that we're all driving slower so if you're keeping up with the traffic flow
don't activate your your flashers that's a personal pet peeve of mine so Paulo I
am really good Oh
Paulo you're still waiting for my email about yes I my apologies I'll answer
that as soon as I get off the livestream here at Paulo I do apologize about
answering back ok and so for Bay flashers passenger vehicles as Jake
pointed out over the mastermind group anytime that you're in a funeral you can
use for every flashers anytime you're pulled over on the side of the road use
your four-way flashers if you're broken down or those types of things to
indicate to other traffic and the reason that you use the four-way flashers is
because our eyes are attracted to light and movement so Bernice you're most
welcome and keep you are most welcome thank you for the comment and as you may
or may not know I'm also on my phone here because I'm away so anyway I'm back
to Puerto Rico so anytime you're a hazard of obstruction to other vehicles
on the roadway anytime that you're going slower than the flow of traffic and it
is bad weather or you have some sort of mechanical
down on your vehicle he's gonna activate the four-way flashers if you are using
your GPS or you're looking for a location and you're driving slower and
you're looking around and trying to find the location then activate your four-way
flashers to tell other road users that you are going slower and that you're
looking for something and you may have an unpredictable action so those are the
times you activate the four-way flashers I also if you're pulling a trailer and
you're gonna back up with a trailer then you want to activate your four-way
flashers when you backup it is an excellent technique to put in place
because as Jake pointed out over in the mastermind group that commercial
vehicles and vehicles pulling trailers they don't have reverse lights so
activate your four-way flashers as well and as Jake said any time in a
commercial vehicle that you're backing up you want to beep the horn and you
want to activate the four-way flashers that will indicate to other road users
and traffic and that I'll tell you that one sec so that will indicate to other
traffic and road users that you're backing up and will also get their
attention that you're actually going to do something unpredictable okay so those
are the times that you use the four-way flashers and actually what I think I'm
gonna do now that I'm talking about this is I'll just write a good blog post a
little blog post and I'll put it over on the smart drive test website about when
to activate four-way flashers and for the most part on your road test for
those of you taking a road test unless you're taking a CDL license you're not
going to activate your four-way flashers on your passenger vehicle unless you're
doing an emergency stop and I know that's something they do in Ontario and
as well for the yeah okay Dan that's an excellent question and you still hear me
I knocked my headphones though because I was waving around my hands yes four-way
flashers yes you can thank other drivers with you for your flashers that's an
excellent question often times if somebody lets me in or I
want to say thank you I just flashed the four-way flashers three times to say
thank you to other drivers that they let me in so yes that is an excellent point
for four-way flashers you can use them to indicate to other that's excellent
Bernice I'm glad we were able to help you out there
so yes so you can use your four-way flashers just fly
some three times Jose no you're not going to use your four-week flashes when
you're reversing in a straight line or when you're turning to backup for
reverse parking you're just going to activate your signal you're not going to
put your four-way flashers on unless you're doing a emergency stop that's the
only time okay so the Honda CRV I had a question about the Honda CRV the Honda
CRV is a 1998 Honda CRV and it currently has three hundred and seventeen thousand
kilometers on it now it does have a couple of things that needs to be
repaired it needs a new muffler and it needs a new windshield what else does it
needs one other thing but I mean all it needs there's a little bit of rust on
the passenger side of the back corner panel so there you go no Marco as long
as you're not you know lugging the engine too much as long as you're not
you know much around a thousand rpm then you might want to consider shifting down
but for the most part as I said in the last video that I put up on Wednesday
you essentially want the highest gear for the lowest Rev that's going to give
you the best fuel mileage so that's what you need to do in terms of driving a
manual transmission all right so we're gonna wrap it up there if anybody else
has any questions just leave them down in the comments there if you're watching
on the replay and you have any questions leave them down in the comment there all
