One day in 1995, a man robbed two Pittsburgh banks in broad daylight.

He didn't wear a mask or any sort of disguise.

And he smiled at surveillance cameras before walking out of each bank.

Of course the police found the robber and later than night arrested him.Interestingly

enough, when the robber was handcuffed, he was puzzled and he mumbled "but I wore the

juice".Apparently, this bank robber thought that smearing lemon juice on his face, would

render him invisible to bank's security cameras.

And he didn't just think that, he was pretty confident about it.His rationale was that

since the chemical properties of lemon juice are used in invisible ink, it should render

him invisible to the bank security cameras.This is obviously a completely dumb way of thinking.But

what's interesting is that, even after the police showed him the footage of his robbery,

he was genuinely surprised that it didn't work and he thought the footage was fake.The

police concluded that this man was not crazy or on drugs, just incredibly misinformed and

mistaken.The funny robbery led two social psychologists, Dunning and Kruger, to study

this phenomenon more deeply.

Specifically what interested them the most, was the confidence exerted by this robber,

that made him believe he'd be able to obstruct the security cameras with just lemon juice.To

investigate this in the lab, they examined a group of undergraduate students in several

categories: their grammatical writing, logical reasoning and a sense of humor.

After knowing the test scores, they asked each student to estimate his or her overall

score, as well as their relative rank compared to other students.This is when Dunning and

Kruger found something fascinating.They found that the students who scored the lowest in

these cognitive tasks, always overestimated how well they did.

And not just by a little, but by a lot.

They thought they had scored above average, while their score was one the lowest.So not

only were those students incompetent or less skilled in those areas, but they obviously

didn't even know just how bad they were at them.Students who scored the highest, had

more accurate perceptions of their abilities, but they made a different mistake.

Paradoxically the highest scoring students underestimated their performance.

They knew they were better than average at the test, but because it was easy for them,

they assumed it was easy for everyone.

They didn't know that their ability was at the top percentile.Today this phenomenon is

known as the Dunning-Kruger Effect.Essentially, low ability people do not possess the skills

needed to recognize their own incompetence or lack of knowledge.

Their poor self-awareness leads them to overestimate their own capabilities.You can clearly see

what I mean in this graph here.Having barely any skill or knowledge, leads to massive confidence.

However when you become more knowledgeable about a certain topic, that confidence falls.

Only when you start to reach above average skill, is when the your confidence about a

certain topic starts to pick up again.Contrary to popular belief, this is not just limited

to cognitive tasks.

It doesn't seem to matter what specific skill we pick, the less a person knows about any

given activity, the more likely they are to overestimate their skill or knowledge.The

Dunning-Kruger effect can be observed during talent shows like American Idol.

The auditions are usually filled with a variety of good and bad singers.

The ones who are bad at it, almost never realize how bad they really are.

That's why they're genuinely disappointed when they get rejected.The truth it, we're

not very good at evaluating ourselves accurately.

In fact, the majority of people believe, that they are better than average.

88% of people think that they're better drivers than the majority, and even elderly people

rank themselves among the best drivers.A more interesting example is that; 94% of professors

assume that they are better in comparison to their colleagues.We judge ourselves as

better than others, to a degree that violates the laws of math.

But why?

Why does being less skilled make you more confident in your abilities?I'm going to help

you visualize how this happens.

This is Mike.

He's an amateur photographer.

And this box represents how much he knows about photography.And this is how big he thinks

the field is and how much there is to know about it.

With this reasoning, he's easily at the top percentile of all photographers.

But let's say he meets a professional photographer, someone who has been doing it for 7 years,

but he still has a lot to learn.

This photographer knows this much about photography.

But he also knows that the field is much larger, and there's this much to know about it.Because

this photographer is more knowledgeable about the subject he knows that this gray area exists.

However, Mike does not.Now you can see why Mike is so confident in his ability.

He has no idea, just how much he doesn't know.

Because he only has a little knowledge of the field, he doesn't know that it's way more

extensive than that.

And because he doesn't know, what he doesn't know, he thinks he knows 90% about photography.Meanwhile,

experts tend to be aware of just how knowledgeable they are.

But they often make a different mistake: they assume that everyone else is knowledgeable

as well, mostly because others exert so much confidence.In this instance, the photographer

is aware he only knows about 70%.

But if he met someone like Mike, he would underestimate himself.90% is better than 70%

after all.We are all susceptible to the Dunning-Kruger effect.

But how can we prevent ourselves from falling prey to it?

Well the answer is, you should strive to educate yourself as much as possible.

You're not expected to know everything after all.Thinking you're always right is a clear

sign of foolishness.It seems that the more knowledge people have, the more they realize

how little they know in reality.

In other words, the more people know about a certain issue, the more they realize how

complicated, unexplored and extensive it is, and how many things they do not understand

or know yet.

It's a beautiful paradox in which the more we study something, the less we know about it.

On the other hand, people who dabble on the surface of anything they pursue, will never

know how much they still have to learn.

In the Dunning-Kruger experiment, unskilled or incompetent students improved their ability

to correctly estimate the test results after receiving minimal tutoring on the skills they lacked.

It's helpful to have someone who is ahead of you show you what you have yet to learn.So

next time you feel confident that you know a lot about something, take a closer look

at the topic as it could be that you are a victim of the Dunning-Kruger effect.

You just might not know what you don't know.

How to Get a Small Bus or Taxi License :: Smart Sunday #61 - Duration: 41:55.

Hi there smart drivers. Rick with Smart Drive Test [LOOKING UNDER THE MICROPHONE]... just checking my audio to

make sure my audio is working... talking to you tonight about part-time jobs working

as a driver - as a bus driver or a taxi driver. There's lots of these jobs around,

lots of people who are going out and getting a class-four license getting a

class f/4g licenses is called in material and my video here is just a bit

overexposed here so just bear with me here one sec while I try and clean that

up a little bit it's the thing about all of these

different all these different platforms so webinarjam YouTube all each one of

them has different settings for what the video looks like and it looks different

again on my software here so it's you got to get it all set up and

unfortunately what happens is that it's not consistent across platforms and I

can't preset priests a Veni thing on my software so anyway without further ado

I've adjusted that so it looks a little bit better on YouTube there and so what

we're gonna do is we're gonna talk about bus and taxi licenses tonight how to get

one how to get a part-time job what kind of things should be looking for and so

how to go about that and what kind of money you're gonna be making as a bus or

truck driver as well what we're gonna talk about is we're talking about

anybody getting a license how to help you with a road test how to help you be

successful with a road test so we're gonna do all that as well and if you

have any questions at all CDL license airbrakes we can help you with all of

that and it just remind you that on Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. I'm doing a

webinar on air brakes and to be talking about that and helping you be successful

on your air brakes as well and if you're just tuning in here be sure to let us

know down in the comments where you're tuning in from in the world and that way

we can help you out and we can give you some tips and tricks about those sorts

of things because if you're in the state of New York and we're in New York City

there are some slight differences for you in terms of getting your licenses

for example in New York State are New York City rather in the five

boroughs you cannot turn right on a red light so know that and other than that

driving is more or less Universal and I'll just repeat as I have said in the

past that if you're going for a road test regardless of class of license and

you're not taking driving lessons with a driving instructor with a local driving

school be sure to book a practice road test before you go out and do your

actual test and you should book those out about three weeks in advance that

way you're gonna get one booked in three or four days before your road test

because you want to have an evaluation done before you go and do your road test

by a driving instructor keep in mind that driving instructors teach people

how to pass road tests every day so this is what they do they know the nuances of

the local driving school and they know what's going on with with the driving

examiner's at your local DMV at the Ministry of Transportation at ICBC

whoever the licensing authority is that it's going to be doing the testing they

will be able to know that so just make sure that you're booked in a practice

driving test and some of these are not very expensive some of these driving

tests at local driving schools I know that Sam who works at auto yeah Auto

rukiye rude Oh rude sorry - try that again

Ruki Auto driving school in the Bronx in New York State are in New York City

rather it's only about 20 dollars for a practice driving test with his schools

and it as far as I'm concerned it's it's 20 dollars really really well invested

because you're going to get feedback about your road test and the skills

techniques and tips are abilities that you need specifically to be successful

in your road test and pass your road test so do that for sure

so we're just wait here a couple more minutes getting a little slow getting

started here it's tonight I'm not sure what's going on

it's it's been a really odd weekend it's been kind of quiet so it's kind of quiet

here on the live stream as well but how we're just getting going so yeah and so

people who this presentation will be for is anybody who's looking for

part-time work anybody who doesn't want to invest a lot of time and energy in

trying to get another job and somebody who wants a job that's going to be

flexible in terms of their hours that they can work around their lifestyle you

know what they're doing already in their life and you know could pick up a little

bit of work maybe 15 20 hours a week so that's who this presentation is for in

terms of getting a license to drive a bus or taxi and the other nice thing

about this kind of work is that there is lots and lots and lots of opportunity

not just to drive a taxi but these small buses less than 25 passengers most

charities most churches senior centers every one of these has one of these

small buses and it's a local weekend work maybe three or four hours taking a

wine tour or something like that so you can get your license to do that and you

know make a little bit of extra money and there's some pros and cons and I'll

go over all that sort of thing so again if you're just tuning in oh okay thanks

Cory does that what's going on let's make it public there we go that's very

good thanks car you don't wonder I was like four people

what's with four people oh that's what's going on Oh crazy stream there we go

okay so now we're public maybe everybody will show up now that's why you're the

moderator Cory because you let me know what's going on so yeah that's what's

going on so people will get the notification so we'll just wait a couple

of minutes here but anyway we'll just we'll just soldier on here so what I'll

do is I'll start working on the presentation here so I'll transition

over to that and I'll go through the presentation and hopefully some other

people will get here odd oh that's my mistake how long have I been doing this

now a long time okay so I'll just transition over to the presentation here

and we'll get going here so just bear with me here here we go all right

okay so transition so there we go so you can see the presentation you can see me

at least I hope so and it's going public now and so basically what we're talking

about here we're not talking about city bus driver

unfortunately I'm sorry I didn't change the title I changed the image we're

talking about taxi drivers and bus drivers and you know we're not going to

talk about Robert Niro and it's very early years of his career it's the the

starring in the movie taxi driver although there is a bit of drama with

taxis and I did drive taxis while I was at university for a short period of time

maybe about a year part time I i drove taxis when the Blue Jays actually went

back-to-back World Series and so that tells you how long ago I actually drove

because I think that was in the in the late 80s that that happened and he's

reminded of that because my friend is a poster of them winning the World Series

and it was one of the few nights that I actually made $300 in a night as a taxi

driver because you know there were just so many people I was celebrating that

the Blue Jays won the World Series so we're gonna talk about being a taxi

driver gonna talk about a little bit of that and I'll give you some anecdotes

later when people show up and we can talk a little bit more about that so for

those who you don't know me Rick auguste PhD still learning the technology still

learning YouTube making sure that my videos are my live streams are set to

public as opposed to private and therefore people can tune in I've been a

driving instructor since 1997 for more than two decades now I was a truck

driver a long-haul truck driver in the 1990s and drove in Canada and the United

States mostly along the eastern seaboard and was in and out of New York and most

of the major metropolitan up and down the East Coast and when I moved to

Australia in the early 2000s I drove Greyhound and regional buses there so I

have experience as a bus driver as well and when I was in Australia I got I went

to graduate school went to university and got a doctorate in legal history and

for those of you that don't know legal history is the study of courts policing

and prisons and my expertise is in policing specifically as it relates to

traffic because I became really fascinated with the

the idea of traffic as a social activity and how it is policed and regulated by

law and what really kind of started me out down the path of you know doing

graduate work and placing and traffic was the question you know do people obey

speed limits because they fear the law or because they respect the law as I got

into further and further research on that I realized that most people most

drivers rather view traffic crime it's not really traffic crime but traffic

violations as a victimless crime it's kind of like a tax evasion or tax fraud

if they see it as a victimless crime that nobody gets hurt as long as nobody

gets hurt then they can do it so a lot of people speed because of that thinking

and so it was an interesting interesting three years of looking at traffic and

looking at policing and how we regulate that so that's me in a nutshell so if

you're new to driving and you're working on driving one of the most difficult

maneuvers that you're going to encounter is turning left at complex intersections

and I talked about this a lot because it's one of the most dangerous maneuvers

one of the most high-risk maneuvers that you can do when you're learning how to

drive because you need to judge gap you need to ensure that the oncoming traffic

is coming to a stop if you're turning on a yellow light so make sure you have a

look at these two videos here left tender sent turning left in left center

turning lanes these are turning lanes that are in the center of the roadway

and as well make sure that the oncoming traffic is in fact coming to a stop if

you decide to go through in a yellow light or you're turning left on a yellow

light Coryell find both these videos for you to put those up there for you as

well alright so changing careers working as a

bus driver working as a taxi driver yes there's a lot of trepidation in terms of

changing careers and it can be a bit daunting because you don't really know

what you're getting into and you don't know if you're gonna invest a few

hundred dollars to get your class four license or your GE or your rav4 whatever

it is called where you are in the world you know you're gonna invest that money

is that money going to come back and I can I can almost assure you as a

driving instructor who taught a lot of people to get their class for license

that there's return on investment and there's plenty of jobs there's no

shortage of jobs driving small buses driving taxis or even driving a

limousine you know hotel shuttles airport shuttles you know running out to

the local winery those types of things so there's lots and lots of jobs and one

of the things I would suggest you is have a look at this video here on job

search with Bill Walker bill was older he was in his 60s early 60s when he

changed careers and became a truck driver and he had a plan to go up north

and work in the oil patch and drive truck for a couple of years and he did

that and he retired and you know he executed his plan he was there for a

short period of time and did that and essentially what I'm talking the people

I'm talking to you today about is taxi drivers limousine drivers people that

want to supplement their income they already have a full-time job or they

already have a job or a source of income and they simply want to make a little

bit more money so they want to get a job as a taxi driver they want to get a

button you know drive a small bus or something

like that there's lots of employment there there's lots of opportunities you

just sort of need to look around and whatever it suggests is even before you

get your license start looking around and the other aspect of this type of

employment is is that there's a lot of places like for example if you work for

the hospital or you already work in a senior's home you could increase your

responsibility potentially get a pay hike because now you can drive the bus

as well so that's the other aspect of this so as I was saying there's lots of

jobs you can work as a taxi drivers limousine driver shuttles back and forth

to the airport local charities most of these local charities all have these

small buses 15 passenger vans senior homes hotels shuttles local churches

everybody has one of these small buses that they need somebody to drive and you

know and for people who are retired as well this is a great opportunity for

them too so the class of license you need is a class 4 license fmg in Ontario

you know other places will have different designations for it

essentially it's a it's a bus license less than 25 passengers and I know here

in British Columbia we have a class 4 which is bus less than 24 passengers or

we have a class for unrestricted anybody who's going to go for a class 4 license

is simply gonna get a full license they're not gonna get the restricted one

and when we are at the driving schools we always encourage people to just get

the full license because it's basically an advanced class 5 license a passenger

vehicle license with a pre trip inspection that's all it is there's a

couple of other things that you have to learn you have to know how to backup you

have to know to get out of the vehicle and do a walk around before you back up

and you honk the horn that's basically it and you need to do a pre-trip

inspection which you're allowed 20 minutes to do your pre-trip inspection

it's easy to get it done within that amount of time so it's the same as any

other commercial license you have to go and write a learner's permit and then

you have to do a practical test and the learner's permit is I think it's 40

questions and it's some advanced information about convex mirrors and

those types of things you know passenger safety is your number

one priority and those types of things but for the most part it's multiple

choice with some images and whatnot and there's lots of practice driving test

questions around on the web that you can find that will help you out alright so

getting one of these jobs is is I talked some months ago about getting a job as a

transit driver and there's there's pretty formal process in terms of

getting a job as a local transit driver because they're unionized they have a

lot of drivers they invest a lot of money in training with these jobs as

truck and our taxi and bus drivers rather it's it's fairly straightforward

and you submit an application it's somewhat informal you might be you know

interviewed by one person your applications in references will be

checked you'll have to submit a driver's abstract and some of these places where

you're working with minorities are not minorities rather sorry with youth

you're gonna have to crimp have a criminal record search and a driver's

abstract for anybody who doesn't know about getting a job

a commercial driver you have to have a driver's abstract and essentially a

driver's abstract shows your driving record for the last five years whether

you have a speeding ticket or whether you have any crashes or drunk negligent

driving or those types of things and you want to have a fairly clean driver's

abstract you know maybe one or two speeding tickets is fairly common you

know try not to have seatbelt fines and those types of things because all of

that's going to come up if you're gonna work first as a CDL driver you know it's

not such a big deal if you're gonna go and work as a taxi driver if you're not

wearing your seatbelt in those types of things there are some exemptions for

different types of drivers garbage truck drivers and taxi drivers and those types

of things that you don't have to wear seatbelts and if you're unsure about

that you know I'm kind of getting off on a tangent here but just look at the

local Highway Traffic Act in your Jers in your state or province and that'll

tell you whether you need to wear your seatbelt but anyway that's an aside from

what I was talking about but this is the interview process as I said it's

informal oftentimes just application references and if you go to a local

driving school to do your training you could even get a reference from the one

of your driving instructors they would be willing to draw to write you a

reference drivers abstract and a criminal search if you're working with

youth okay so the pros that this type of work is is that you're always employed

because of you're just willing to look around and talk to people there's always

some organization that needs people to work right the unfortunate part is is

that it's never 40 hours a week you're not gonna get a job driving a small bus

forty hours a week you might get a job working driving a taxi forty hours a

week but I can tell you from personal experience that Mondays Tuesdays and

Wednesdays you know until sort of you know people get near the end of the week

there's not a great deal of work and you spend a lot of time sitting around

unfortunately because you know and of course different places different

geographical locations are gonna have different requirements for taxis but for

the for the most part not a lot of people take taxis during the early part

of the week or during the day okay there's no uniforms required some of

these jobs may require uniform but for the most

you're not gonna have to wear a uniform flexible hours and it's part-time work

to supplement your income right the cons of this is that there's no security in

you know driving a taxi there's no security in driving a small bus you know

it's undesirable work hours for the most part it's weekends and nights and but

you know as I said if you're trying to supplement your income this is going to

work really well for you customer service you're the frontline

worker you're dealing with people I mean some people are introverts and those

types of things and they don't wanna but you're gonna have to okay it's not

long-term employment it's not something you're gonna do for the rest of your

life and unfortunately the wages are gonna be

a bit lower there you know most of it's gonna be around minimum wage it's gonna

be sort of fifteen to twenty dollars or it might be buy the trip or those types

of things so there are some you know cons to doing this type of type of work

but if you're just looking for part-time work it can be really great and if

you're looking to get into a bigger organization you don't have any

experience this could be a great stepping stone for a better job and

working in a in a bus company or getting full-time employment or those types of

things so one of the things I said is you have to do a pre-trip inspection

it's an advanced passenger vehicle license you know all the requirements

are the same that you get the four major components of a road test speed

management space management observation communication all that stuff is in place

you got to do a pre-trip inspection you have 20 minutes to do a pre-trip

inspection you got to check under the hood all the fluids and components

secure not damaged not leaking that's essentially your mantra for going around

the vehicle or if there's damage to the vehicle and it doesn't affect the the

safety of the vehicle no new damage like there's a scratch on the side of the bus

or something like that but you know if there's major defects to the bus like

for example you have a large cut in the side of one of the tires you cannot use

that to transport passage you have to get that tire fixed all right so you're

gonna go under the hood then you're going to go into the vehicle into the

cab you're gonna check all the controls in the vehicle you know the lights this

the signals the heater controls nothing on the dash nothing on the floor you're

going to go through the vehicle you're going to check all the seats and seat

belts and make sure everything's working for commercial vehicles

you're going to need emergency equipment inside the vehicle so the emergency

equipment consists of flares fire extinguisher and flashlights fluids and

I'm missing one just a minute here it's five F flashlight flares

fluids fluids it'll come to me here in a minute

first aid kit that's it so in a commercial vehicle you need fire

extinguisher first-aid kit and flares yes those three things must absolutely

be in the vehicle so fire extinguisher first-aid kit and flares and they're not

flares in this day and age they're triangles so that's what I was trying to

remember for in terms of emergency equipment and you have to check all the

exits on the vehicle to make sure they're working in case of a crash that

people can escape from the vehicle and outside of the vehicle you're gonna

go around the vehicle you're gonna check all the lights the brake lights the

reverse lights turn signals component systems outside the vehicle and then at

the last of the pre-trip inspection you're going to do a test and have a

look at this video here and Cory will put that up for you pre trip

fundamentals and remember for the purposes of a road test you're not doing

a pre-trip inspection on the vehicle to determine if the vehicle is safe rather

you're doing a pre-trip inspection on the vehicle to demonstrate a competency

you're demonstrating to the examiner that you in fact do know how to do a

pre-trip inspection all right practical test driving it's

the same as a passenger vehicle it's gonna be about twenty minutes in

duration you need to obey all road signs now for a Class 4 vehicle it's not

likely they're gonna make you parallel park they might make you parallel park

in a parking space somewhere in a closed circuit area but for the most part

they're not gonna make you parallel park a bus in on a road test they may if

you're doing a taxi license they might but for the most part if you're driving

a bus 15 passenger van or a small bus they're not gonna make you do that but

have a look at this video here and you'll go through what you need to do

for the purposes of passing a road test all right and as I mentioned previously

in terms of the class 4 license test you do need to backup often times when you

come back at the end of the test they'll just make you back into a parking space

away from other vehicles and whatnot and you need to

stop the vehicle you need to do a walk-around you need to check your path

or travel check for obstructions and you need to ensure that there are then you

put pedestrians or whatnot in the area where you're going to be backing up you

get back in the vehicle for CDL licenses you don't have to have your seatbelt on

when you're backing up but I would suggest for the purposes of a road test

that you do put your seatbelt back on you can activate your four-way flashers

you can beep the horn if it doesn't have a beeper on the vehicle already and then

back up and go slowly you want to go slowly and you want to observe as much

as possible if you can't see out the back window of the bus you're gonna have

to learn how to use the mirrors which is going to be a bit more challenging for a

lot of people all right so that's essentially a class for I'll answer any

questions about taxi driving or small bus driving and if you decide to do that

good luck on your road test if you have any more questions by all means ask me

questions here now that maybe we're public on the live stream in peace some

people who show up here so just transition back over here alright and

we're back and look there's 12 people here now oh my god so there we go so we

have some people here and yeah because I made the error of not setting the thing

to public so it didn't get didn't get put up on YouTube in all the places and

whatnot so here we are okay so Corey's here Corey's got those videos up for

Justin there you are so if you're just tuning in to the live stream here that

we actually got up and is now live do let us know where you are tuning in from

in the world let us know what class of licence that you're working for if you

are looking for a part-time work now that we talked a little bit about

driving a bus or driving a limousine and Justin's here Ben's here and I'm glad

that we could help there Ben that's really great

Ashley's here okay and Ashley's here and she's tuning in and that's really great

she's not gonna get a bus or truck license hour bus or

taxi license but definitely helping out so if you have any questions at all

I think this live stream unfortunately because I didn't set it to public it's

gonna be a little bit slower than most and unfortunately that's my fault now

eight is here eight is from Toronto that's really great and what class of

license eight are you going for that you're getting here so now I'll tell you

some taxi stories because I did have some taxi stories and of course if you

haven't seen the movie with Robert De Niro in his very young career definitely

watch taxi taxi driver is one of the best ones justin is from Kitchener

Ontario that would be my old stomping ground

I'm originally from London Ontario and that's where I drove cab and I'm just

I'm just trying to think about what it is when people have the sleeping

disorder when they fall asleep is it narcoleptic no narcoleptic that's when

people hurt themselves or take drugs or something anyway he had a sleep disorder

and he was working the night shift driving cab and his name was cliff and

he was just he wasn't he wasn't in good shape he'd been driving cab for years

and years and years and so I ended up driving taxi cab and oftentimes what

happens is there's two drivers on a taxi cab so one guy works in the day shift

for twelve hours and one guy works the night shift for twelve hours and I was

running the night shift with this guy and he knew cliff and he said cliff came

to pick him up one morning and he he couldn't figure out why cliff wasn't

there and he like an hour two hours later he

finally got a hold you have to remember this is the day before cellphone so you

can't just call people right and so what happened was is that he finally he

finally got on cliff finally showed up like a couple hours later but what had

happened is he he had parked in somebody else's driveway and then had proceeded

to fall asleep and narcolepsy there we go

yeah I think it's narcolepsy when you just fall asleep and passengers would

complain about cliff he would come up to his traffic light and there'd be

passengers in the back seat he just fall asleep at the traffic light and you just

kind of wake up and I was talking to one night on attacks

damn we were kind of backed in talking to each other at the window and he just

like fell asleep in the middle of a conversation

so one of the funny stories about driving cabs in the day so in the day

Ashley if you're in traffic and the light in front of you is green but going

through it would mean going into and proceeding into the nourish so Ashley I

think what you're asking me is if you're at an intersection you're waiting with

your front tires on the front crosswalk line if the light is going to change so

what happens is is that as you're sitting there waiting for the light

you're you know what's going to change to yellow excuse me you know it's gonna

change to yellow so as you see your gap coming you start moving forward into the

intersection to meet that gap and the other thing is as you're moving straight

into the intersection you're gaining a bit of momentum with the vehicle too so

when the gap presents itself you've got a minute momentum and you can just turn

left around the corner so that's what you want to do okay

there we go perfect so Cory has said narcolepsy is in fact the disorder of

falling asleep and this is what this guy cliff had was he just fell asleep

now the other thing you know driving taxi at night you're going to pick up

the people who have just got out of the bar and those types of things so you

know people are inebriated and unfortunately I think I only ever had

one person throw up in my cab which is very gross because there's nothing worse

than that smell in your vehicle so it takes a bit to get rid of it and yeah I

know that so what else some other interesting

things and your are going to get some people who are doing interesting things

I did have people in the cab at night where they would tell you to go to a

certain address they wouldn't give you the specific address but they'd just

tell you where to go on the street and they would get you to park somewhere

they would get under the cab and they'd say wait they give you a few dollars to

wait for them and then they would go into a building that was dark like very

dark no lights on you know we're talking two or three in

the morning and then they would just come back and get in the cab you knew

something was not legit but you never really asked you just took them where

and you know I never really had any problems with driving cabs so okay so

Ashley going back to Acts just question about proceeding through the

intersection but what if there's traffic ahead and you don't have enough room to

make it all the way through the intersections Oh straight through the

intersection Ashley if you're I'm sorry I'm not I don't think I'm quite clear on

which what exactly it is you're asking me in terms of proceeding through the

intersection I'm just going to go back and see if you're in traffic and the

light in front of you is green but going through it would mean going into and

stopping in the intersection should you proceed or should you stay behind like

oh I'm sorry Ashley my apologies I know exactly what you're asking me now

yes exactly what Cory said here try avoid blocking the intersection so stay

at the light if you suspect you would block the intersection yes

if the inche if the traffic is backed up on the other side of the intersection

Ashley yes do not proceed into the intersection wait on the other side of

the intersection and there's a video here don't block the intersection Cory

might be able to find that for you I think it's pretty it's a pretty old

video but don't block the intersection at all if you block the intersection

that's an automatic fail on a road test excellent question

absolutely excellent question I'm glad we cleared that up for you all right so

we have a few more people on the livestream here if you're just tuning in

let us know where you're tuning in from let us know what class of license that

you're going for we might run a little bit longer tonight because unfortunately

when I started the video I had had the setting - what did I have it - I had it

off it wasn't on public anyway I'm learning here and it's just one of those

goofy things that happened I don't know I saw it this morning and I was like

what and I didn't change it and that's a new one for me so just let me know where

you're tuning in from let me know what class of license you are if you're new

to smart drive test consider subscribing hit that thumbs up button as well leave

a comment down there ask me a question I'll be more than happy to help you out

and answer any questions that you might have and I am almost

right on the brink of getting the winter driving course up I should have it up

tomorrow or Tuesday so I'll also send out a message about that and if there's

any videos that you want by all means leave me a comment I'll help that out

not a problem Ashley it was just I didn't read the

question correctly at the beginning there so it was partly my fault so

there's the there's the video Cory actually did find it for you so that's

really great all right and so what else happened driving taxi I told you I drove

taxi when the Blue Jays worst were one the World Series and was there was just

a heap of people in the downtown area in London Ontario where they wanted a lot

of people celebrating so that was interesting and like I said it made a

lot of money and mostly what I was running people back and forth from

downtown to the University were in London Ontario its Western University

I'm alumni of us turn so Dalton's here from Northwest Pennsylvania and Dalton I

believe if I remember correctly you were on the webinar last week for air break

so if we can help you with anything with getting your CDL Dalton by all means and

we can help you with that and again for the people that might be tuning in

there's a webinar I'm gonna hold a weekly webinar now on air brakes so if

you're getting your CDL license and you do need your air brakes tune in on

Tuesdays have a look for that you can go over to the website the smart drive test

website and sign up for that as well and the other benefit of getting a license

for a taxi or a small bus is that you don't need an air brake endorsement most

of these small buses most of these all of the taxis four are all going to have

hydraulic brakes on them so you're not going to have to have a air brake

endorsement for the purposes of getting one of those licenses okay just have to

test the brakes at the end and this is see it's just two tests it's testing the

parking brake to make sure that it holds the vehicle and to test the parking

brake you apply the parking brake put it on and then just put

Oakland gear and just give it a little bit of throttle and see in the vehicle

holds it the vehicle holds then you know that the parking brake works and then

you're gonna release the parking brake and roll ahead a couple of feet and

you're gonna test the service brake so you're gonna test the foot pedal to make

sure that the brake is actually hold and apply okay

EPIK watching from Philibert Phillipsburg New Jersey and for a

transit bus or mini bus do they have to open the doors when approaching a

railroad crossing regarding dead animals in the road should I put my wheels on

this on center ok so not as a rule the smaller buses don't have to stop at

railway crossing and epic that tends to be a state-to-state thing and it tends

to be a province to province thing some of the school the buses depending on a

coach or school bus if they're bigger they have to stop at all railway

crossings and I know here that buses school all school buses have to stop at

railroad crossings open the doors and listen and look for trains and dead

animals on the road depending on what kind of animal it is is if it's a

smaller animal then yes you do want to try and Center the animal so you want it

to go underneath the undercarriage if it's a bigger animal you're gonna have

to try and drive around it like if it's a deer or something like that

okay so Dalton the webinar was informative thank you you were very

welcome Dalton let me um after I did the webinar last week I was thinking that I

needed to back up a little bit and I needed to explain what a spring was I

needed to explain what a valve was and I needed to explain exactly what a brake

was could you just let me know if you think that would be helpful in

understanding the basics of understanding the basics of air brakes

if you don't understand if you don't have sort of them if you if you're not

McLintock an eclis minded is what i'm trying to say so for example say that

somebody came into a course and they didn't know anything about a car they

knew they got in a car and you pushed down on the brake pedal the vehicle came

to a stop but they had no idea how it came to a stop because I'm trying I like

I said I'm writing and I'm just about finished an air brake manual and

trying to explain the very fundamentals that have been missing in many of these

air brake courses because when we when when students come into these air brake

courses they're just kind of like launched into it they're not there's

there's no discussion of fundamentals they just assume that students know what

a valve is they just know what a brake is or a spring or whatnot so yeah if you

could just let me know if that might be helpful that'd be great

okay so taxi stories what else can I tell you yes I picked up a few drunk

people and you know sitting around the middle like driving when there's no

traffic in those types of things because after the bars closed at 2 o'clock 2:30

in the morning it's pretty quiet the rest of the night if you're working the

night shift from say sort of 3 a.m. to 5 a.m. a lot of people are just gonna go

home at that time they're not gonna work all about vehicles how are you yes you

haven't been around for a while you got your g2 I now Drive a Chrysler 200

front-wheel drive with Bluetooth and heated seats and have Yokohama snow

tires on awesome that's really great okay thanks Dalton I really appreciate

that okay Justin actually not planning to get bus or taxi license just tuning

in however must acknowledge your videos helped me a lot in getting my G 2 and G

license last month you are most welcome Justin and Justin if you haven't signed

up for the are registered rather with 100k campaign that would be really great

if you could head over to the smart drive test website and do that that

would be really awesome so my father has a 20-18 ram and my mother drive so

you're all dodge people yeah my dad was a dodge person actually he was such a

fierce Patriot of Dodge and Patriot is that the right word of Dodge that when

his company offered him a pickup truck a Chevy pickup truck you wouldn't drive it

because he was just fiercely loyal to dodge so there you go re so yeah so with

with cab drivers the other interesting thing about being a cab driver remember

this specifically is that when I drove people would get back it would get in

the back of the cab and they would just unload they would just tell you their

most intimate and personal parts of their life when they got back in the

cabin I don't know what it is about people who ride in cabs that they that

they feel that they can just kind of talk to the cab driver and really be

intimate I mean some people won't don't want to talk to you but other people

will do that so there you go and there's Sam tuning in yes we finally

went publicly live and Sam's here from auto rukiye driving school in the Bronx

and teaching driving down there patron there we go thanks Ashley

and yes so Sam is here Sam also has a YouTube channel teaching a driving

lessons by Big Mac Sam and so be sure to head over to his channel and check out

his channel there and if you're in New York City in the Bronx look up Sam and

do some driving lessons with salmon as well as I said previously that if you

need a practice driving test prior to going and taking your actual road test

Sam can do that as well and it's a really good investment of about twenty

dollars my father had to get his company to get

him a ram for his work truck doesn't like Fords especially haha Ford one f50s

yeah some people are pretty fierce about their loyalty to either Chevy's Forte's

or Dodge pickup trucks so different people are interesting that way and you

know but I'm kind of the same that I won't drive anything but a Honda or a

Toyota maybe a Nissan you know if I was gonna buy a big pickup truck I might

think about buying a Titan but other than that I don't think that I would be

driving a domestic vehicle unfortunately you know I mean if they're new yeah

that's fine but I think most of these unfortunately these domestic pickup

trucks once they hit about 150,000 kilometers about a hundred thousand

miles unfortunately they start to deteriorate

at that point Sam you're most welcome thank you for your continued support of

my channel it's been really great so yeah so I think we're gonna wrap up

early tonight because there's not a lot of people here and unless you have

questions if you're tuning in hit that thumbs up button be sure to leave me a

comment if you're you two smart drive test or you have any

queries about getting your license being successful in that by all means leave a

comment down in the comment section there but I think you know partly my

fault that the video didn't go out it didn't go out public so yeah I think

what we'll do is we're just wrap it up there and if anybody has any questions

at all leave me a comment and we'll you know make sure that we answer those and

get you being successful in getting your road test

Keenen all our vehicles are dark red and color my fault also has a challenger red

eye yeah so that's that's a fast car awesome alright so we're just gonna wrap

it up there if you like what you see here give it a thumbs up leave a comment

and be sure to share the video and if you're considering having a you know

looking for some part-time work it's pretty easy to get a license getting

getting a license as a taxi driver or a small bus and there's lots of work

around so you can do that Sam didn't see your last video but I'll definitely head

over there and check it out now okay

Corey what's the vehicle I've had the most frustration with um actually

actually have been pretty good because I haven't actually Cory believe it or not

I have not owned a lot of vehicles in my life

so one of the whole seven years I was in Australia I never had a vehicle I just

used other people so anyway we're gonna leave that we're just gonna leave that

there my final G highway test in Ontario in a

few days okay aid definitely have a look at the video on mock road test how to

Pratt how to pass a road test Cory I'll get that up for you and yes you can get

a class F in Ontario that's correct and its class F or it's a its H ABCDE F it's

an e or an F one is for school bus and one is for passengers without less than

25 passengers so that's Ontario for sure okay eight so have a look at that video

Koryo get that up for you and yeah we're just gonna wrap up we'll just leave it

there be sure to subscribe

I remember the UIC one.

Nike is Just Do It.

Just Do It.

Iconic you know.

Let's Do It! *omg why qing*

Oh my god, you know right?

- I know! - You know what mistake she's making right?

What's your favourite brand?

Nike ah.

Oh?

It's not let's do it eh.

Let's Get It! *omg no qing no*

Oh my god!

What's the slogan?

- Just do it! - Just do it.

What do you think makes a slogan or tagline?

Something that goes well with a jingle? So that you can remember it.

Short and sweet and concise.

So in today's episode of Singaporeans Try,

we'll get you guys to guess different brands' slogans.

Simi?

Is this a radio? Broadcast myself?

I think it's YouTube.

It sounds like a social media kind of a thing.

Confirm it's a social media platform,

because you are broadcasting yourself in every social media platform right?

1, 2, 3, we say okay?

1, 2, 3.

- Snapchat. - Instagram.

- What's yours? - Linkedin.

Linkedin?

Broadcast is a very specific word, used for videos.

To be honest, there's not much very big video companies online.

Yeah, must be Vimeo.

- Wait. - What do you use to broadcast yourself?

Wait, wait, wait, maybe it's YouTube.

YouTube.

YouTube!

YouTube.

YES!

- Ow! - We are on a roll.

I love you YouTube.

Everything also love.

Oh, oh oh! I know, I know!

So together ah!

Skittles.

Skittles!

Skittles, yes!

This right, is the classic already.

Okay I don't want to say anything.

Taste the rainbow, means it's taste, it's food.

Rainbow, I'm thinking of Wall's?

Skittles!

Skittles!

It's Skittles.

- Yes! - I change my answer to Skittles.

No, actually I think it's a very good slogan for them

because theirs is really rainbow.

I love shoes too.

Is it a sock company?

- I got a feeling it's something, - Is it a service?

that yeah, a service that helps you maintain your shoes.

- Shoe rack. - Shoe shiner.

Okay, it cannot be a cool brand.

Because a cool brand won't have 'We Love Shoes' as a tagline.

Either that or they have to fire their marketing people and hire me instead.

Cause that's a terrible tagline.

Vans!

Vans. No Vans' skateboard.

Something like hang loose or something.

Like they have a lot of shoes.

Like different brands.

Oh, like departmental stores is it?

Superga.

Eh! I was about to say that, Superga.

- OG. - I think BATA.

- Sketchers. - BATA.

BATA?!

BATA is buy and throw away!

It's one of those things that the CEO will ask their 5 year-old daughter.

What should we name or tagline?

We love shoes!

That's right! Then 'We Love Shoes, BATA'.

- Oh my god I heard this before. - I know where already.

I know!

The happiest place on earth?

It's confirm a tourist attraction.

Sentosa.

- Huh? - Eh no, it's Disneyland.

Oh Sentosa is the,

Sentosa is the, where sun doesn't set or something like that.

Disneyland is like the, more like,

cartoon-y, and people are happy there.

USS you go there like, ride rollercoasters a bit scared.

Disneyland.

Disneyland.

- Disneyland. - Disney.

Land.

Oh she's wrong! No she's wrong!

- Too bad! - No!

T_T

No, but yeah, it's where I used to work.

Yeah, I know people in US they plan a whole holiday just in Disneyland.

I'm so embarrassed I said Sentosa right off the bat.

I know, oh my god.

I know! Oh my god.

Buzzfeed.

What? What the, that's just Worth It.

Oh my god, I know, it's definitely a cosmetics one.

Because you deserve to be pampered girl, that's right.

I think it's Maybelline, dude, for reals.

Sephora, because you're worth it.

I don't know the specific brand, but I remember when I see the commericals right, it's like that,

Because you're worth it.

I know the thing goes like 'Brand, because you're worth it.'

- Maybelline. - MAC.

- L'oreal?

- L'oreal? - Yeah, that's my answer also.

- Semo dong dong? - I'm so sorry.

But I never use L'oreal before.

Are you serious?

Can you imagine those video right, it's like just the woman walking by,

and then like, behind the green screen,

then got like some weird effects at the back.

then the hand like that.

Because you're worth it.

- This one I know. - You know?

100% know.

Don't be evil?

Huh?

Oh wow.

Is it like a makeup brand?

It might be a beauty and cosmetic thing,

because you know like, animal rights?

Eh give me some clues eh,

- I just now tell you eh. - It's technology.

Oppo ah?

Huh? Oppo's one will be chinese.

Oppo, Camera Phone.

Snapchat?

No, Snapchat is evil man, it's the most evil one.

Actually Twitter sounds like cheesy enough that they'll do it.

- I feel like it's Twitter. - Or is it friendster?

Who uses Friendster?

Okay how big is this?

Big.

- Big? - Big.

- Very big? - Big.

- Twitter. - Instagram.

- Tumblr? - Twitter.

Okay, I no choice but to say Apple.

- I can't think of anything else. - Google.

- Huh? - Google?

Like I would expect their slogan to be something about searching,

or something about 'they have it all'

But if you are god, you can don't be evil.

It's a reminder.

No, cause like Google is a very huge brand.

Like you can never live without Google, everyone uses google.

I think it's quite cool that such a big international brand is promoting doing the right thing like,

they say don't be evil you know,

You said it's their code of conduct right?

Which is very cool.

Ohh! Okay, okay, I know this.

I know this.

Okay, I know my answer.

No, I feel like it's a car.

A car zooms by, 'Impossible is Nothing.'

I think it's a sports brand.

I think it's Adidas, it might be Adidas eh.

I actually thought of like Insurance.

Insurance is nothing.

Insurance is nothing? Something's wrong with her.

I think it's my favourite brand ah but,

Oh, okay thanks.

- New Balance. - Adidas.

- Under Armour. - Adidas?

Adidas.

Yes!

- Adidas, I love you. - I didn't even know, Impossible is Nothing.

They always use like Sportsmen or like Champions to endorse their products,

So they like to say like,

The sky is your limit, Impossible is nothing.

It sounds very inspirational.

Cause I remember I see it when they promote their running attire.

Then it's always like black screen, then the white, then whoosh.

How was the challenge?

- Fun. - It was damm fun.

Stressful.

She like know everything one eh.

And all these brands are like big enough for us to know them just by their brand names.

But we don't really know the slogan unless it's very marketed.

Unless there's a jingle to it.

I think testing more of our memory game.

These international brands, a lot of their slogans, they have been sticking with it since way back then.

So which slogan was the most interesting or unique?

Don't be evil.

Actually to me, the Google one is very impactful

And it's very unique, it's something you won't even like register with the brand.

- We Love Shoes is damm funny. - Yeah I think We Love Shoes is super funny.

If you can change the slogan for a certain brand, which would it be?

- BATA. - Change the 'We Love Shoes'?

I think I'll probably change the YouTube's one because it's no longer a hobby.

- So I wouldn't put 'Broadcast Yourself' - Then what will you change to?

The New TV?

No, I would change the BATA one.

Should be something like, Buy and Trend Away.

Shoes 'r' Us?

*oh god no pls*

- I'm going to go to BATA because their tagline- - Isn't that Toy'R'Us?

*oops*

Toy'R'Us is closing down already somewhat.

So we can,

We can take it out.

- Buy and Trend Again. - Oh yes!

Cause they're old.
