Hi there smart drivers. Rick with Smart Drive Test talking to you tonight about
rules of the road and right-of-way. I had a question from one of the smart drivers
last week and that was impetus for starting this discussion about
right-of-way rules because unfortunately the smart driver was not successful on
his road test so that was the poll that I put up on the community tab and talked
about that and so we're gonna go over some of the rules of the road and talk a
little bit about that and how rules of the road no longer you know no more
stamp out traffic crashes than criminal law stamps of crime so they are
guidelines that hopefully make traffic more predictable so there's quite a
number of people here already Stephan Stephan is here lucky is here
Edgar is here Kayla's here and tonight is here Tim is here from basic Joomla
tutorials Tim does websites for with Joomla and whatnot Janet's here and
Corey is here bricks for wheels both those both Tim and Corey are moderators
and for videos that I get for you and suggests for you they'll have a look at
choreo get those up free and does really well so we're gonna get over to the
PowerPoint presentation further quickly here and get into that because I've had
some feedback from people who are watching on the replay that they want to
see the presentation and you know don't want to stick around for the question
and answer period but so we'll get to that and as well be sure to head over to
the smart drive test website and sign up for the newsletter over there and
that'll help you out and as well if you're new to smart drive test be sure
to subscribe give it a thumbs up and if you like what you see here leave a
comment and share the video is all that gets all the information out for smart
drivers who are working towards a license and working to be safe drivers
or started careers of see it started career as a truck or bus driver so
that's what we do here at smart drive test matt is here trevor is here sylvan
is here and just as well in the comments just let me know where you're tuning in
from in the world there and we can help you out and i had a request from just
looking for it here the Kayla wanted the video on the
maneuverability test in Ohio and yes Kayla that's been on my list for some
time and it is far overdue I need to get that video done for you all right
excellent brothers mob you passed your license please head over to the 100k
campaign Cory will put that up for you and we'll get that working for you yes
and fixing last week we had some problems with the questions in the
comments here and it wasn't working out so I think that's been fixed I think
YouTube has been on that because no longer is a dumping all my my comments
into the review section so that's working so Millie's here from the Bronx
and Patrick has a question so just hang on your question there Patrick and maybe
I'll answered in the presentation and he is here from Buffalo New York excellent
from that's great Darvish is here Victor's here left-hand
turn and now rivers to get back on the wheel Victor one of the things I'm gonna
say and firstly I'm sorry to hear that you were involved in a crash on a
left-hand turn Victor I want you to get back right on start driving again
because it the longer you leave it the more difficult it's gonna be so get back
to driving as quickly as you can if you're not comfortable start driving in
residential areas and places where there isn't a lot of traffic and then kind of
work your way out and I say this to anybody who's been involved in a crash
whether it's in a car on a motorcycle on a bicycle or whatnot you need to get
back and start doing it again because the longer you leave it the more
difficult it's going to be so make sure that you get back to driving as soon as
possible Brandon thank you so much you are most welcome for glad we can help
you out the letter A by itself so I think that's what was happening that was
one of the things thanks for that Tim Corey's put the video up for four-way
stops there and just bear with me here I'm going to get over to the PowerPoint
presentation I can't answer questions during the PowerPoint presentation and
but I will come back and answer your questions and if I do miss your question
in the question and answer period makes that you asked the question again it's
just because there's a lot of people on the livestream and the questions go back
pretty quickly so if I miss it just ask me again and I'll be more than happy to
get to that too and if I don't get to it tonight in the live stream send me an
email rip that smart drive test calm and be
more than happy to help you out or leave a comment in one of the videos I try and
get to close every day or two days at the least
alright so Darby she's here thank you so much for all that and Brandon excellent
okay and here we go just bear with me for one sec here all right okay so
tonight we're talking about rules of the road and right-of-way and we're talking
about rules of the road because the question in the poll that I asked on the
community tab was if you're at a two-way stop sign so you're at one stop sign the
traffic on the other side is at a stop sign and it's a major road there are two
vehicles on the other side turning right and you're turning left do you have to
wait for those two vehicles to go before you proceed and technically according to
the rules of the road yes you do if there is sufficient gap between the
first vehicle in the second vehicle say for example the driver the second
vehicle isn't paying attention you might be able to sneak in between the two
vehicles but for the purposes of a road test you would let those two
right-turning vehicles turn before you proceeded because at a two-way stop and
I'll talk about this little more detail straight through vehicles have the
right-of-way returning vehicles and right-hand turning vehicles have the
right-of-way over left turning vehicles so we're going to talk about that a
little bit more so that's what we're talking about tonight there we go yeah
and of course it went all the way to the bottom so Paige down there we go so I'm
Rick August I do have a PhD in legal history as it relates to traffic and
specifically policing for those who you don't know legal history is the study of
police in courts and prisons and my expertise is in policing as it relates
to traffic throughout the 1990s I was a truck driver I drove
mostly in North America through Ontario Western Canada and delivered Freight
into the United States up and down the eastern seaboard when I moved to
Australia in 2002 I drove for Greyhound and a regional bus line there called V
line which was a bus that connected the rail lines so drove basically out of
Melbourne I took Ballarat and back every night so I've been a licensed commercial
driving instructor since 1997 and as I mentioned I have a doctorate in legal
history so I'm fairly qualified talking about all matters relating to getting a
license regardless of class motorcycles trucks buses cars and specifically air
brakes and I'm working on an air brake book right now which I hope will be up
next month it's been a long process in getting this done and on Saturday
congratulations to all the smart drivers who have subscribed to the channel we
passed the 75 thousand mark and according to social blade we're on
target to be to hit the hundred thousand mark as of the end of January and I'm
hoping that we can do that before the new year and I'm hoping that I can ramp
this up a little bit and get that just push ourselves over the hundred thousand
mark now it would be the goal for this year that'd be really great so
congratulations thank you because without you the smart drivers this this
really lofty goal would not be possible alright so tonight we're talking about
rules of the road if you haven't seen the video already be sure to head over
to the smart drive test website and sign up for the newsletter because they did
sign to send out a newsletter announcing tonight's live stream and giving this
video so you can have a look at this and I go through all the rules of the road
for different roads and those types of things and some fairly you know
specialized roads and that sort of thing and I talk about construction and what
not so it's a good overall video and I go out and stand at the intersections
and talk about each intersection that I'm going that you're gonna encounter on
a road test when you're driving alright and if you've been successful in passing
a road test in the last week make sure that you head over to the smart drive
test website and sign up for the 100 inque campaign in the next year we're
going to help a hundred thousand drivers earn their license regardless of class
of licence so motorcycle cars trucks buses and air brakes so if you've done
that head over there sign up for that and as well everybody who signs up for
the hundred thousand Kay campaign is going to go in a draw that will be the
draw for a hundred dollar gas cart every month so you're gonna be a lot of
legible you're gonna be eligible for that that's who's trying to say eligible
for the hunt for the hundred dollar gas card alright so Road rules are often
broken as you know anybody who's driven knows that people kind of use Rose Road
rules as a loose guideline and most people who drive and break road rules
see them as kind of you know it's a victimless crime for example when they
speed they're not hurting anybody else so they see it as a victimless crime if
they don't come to a complete stop at a stop sign it's not hurting anybody else
so most people would be of the opinion that when they drive if nobody else gets
hurt it's a victimless crime so but as I like to say to people because people
have said to me that you know don't always obey the road rules and those
types of things and most people don't after they get their license a short
period after they get their license we know that after three months most people
subscribe to social driving they follow the traffic flow
they don't come to complete stops at stop signs and you know they follow too
close they don't keep a good distance and whatnot so all of those all of those
traits of social driving apply a short time after getting a license and some
people say to me well you need to follow the road rules well Road rules no more
prevent traffic crashes than criminal law prevents crime so Road rules for
most people who drive serve as a loose guideline of how they're supposed to
behave and act on the roadway all right so just going quickly through the road
rules that do apply to those of you who are going to get a license to weigh
stops so the basic fundamental rules for two-way stops are that traffic on the
minor road is yielding and giving way to the traffic on the major road this is
what the purpose of most two-way stops you'll also see two-way stops at T
intersections so straight through traffic has
right-of-way overturning traffic and right-turning vehicles have the
right-of-way over left turning vehicles as you can see here in the top picture
there that car B will have the right-of-way over car a Akari will have
to wait because it's turning right and this is the other side of the road
obviously they're driving on the left side of the road but for the right
turning vehicle there which would be the left turning vehicle for those of us who
drive on the right here in North America car B has the right-of-way of a car a
now the bottom one both vehicles are turning left so both vehicles can turn
left at the same time and this is common at four-way stops where essentially it
gets to the point where yes the first vehicle to arrive and the vehicle on the
right but the alternating lanes of traffic will take turns and both lane
both left turning vehicles can turn left at the same time now again I'll just say
this as the as I repeat again and again even though you have the right of way
you can be right or you can be dead right if somebody else insists that
they're going to go you're gonna have to give up the right-of-way so yield and
give way signs you're going to treat yield signs the same as you're going to
treat two-way stops it's the same rule so even though you're not required to
come to a complete stop straight through traffic it has the
right-of-way overturning traffic and right-hand turning vehicles have the
right-of-way over left turning wheels make sure that you look twice before and
go once and this picture here this instance here at the bottom where car a
is turning right and car B is turning left and again this is on the left side
of the road would be car a would be turning laughing car a would be turning
right for those of us in North America the yield sign and the stop sign the
give way sign has the right-of-way over the stop sign they can go first but it's
very unlikely even in a road test situation that one of both of those cars
are going to drive arrive at the intersection at exactly the same time
but if they're both sitting there waiting for the cross traffic to go then
it's going to be the right hand turning vehicle that has the right-of-way
because car a does have to give way to the other vehicles and it's turning left
all right so four-way stops as I said first vehicle to arrive the vehicle on
the right has the right-of-way any road users that's in the intersection has the
right-of-way so here in this image the pedestrian in the intersection has the
right-of-way and again watch the video on four-way stops which Corey's already
put up and you will see that the all turning lanes of traffic will take turns
so if one lane of traffic is going straight through the two vehicles across
from each other will both go straight through at the same time or alternately
if they're both turning left they'll turn left at the same time and then the
other lane of traffic will go so it alternates back and forth alright
freeways there another place that you have to give the right-of-way and in a
number of states in the US they will have yield signs at the top of the
on-ramp that which indicates that the onus of responsibility is on the merging
driver and it really is on the merging driver and if you do this correctly when
you're coming out on the on-ramp which leads into the acceleration lane and
once you're on the acceleration Lane you'll see the continuity lines on the
Left continuity lines are road markings that are half as long and twice as wide
and continuity lines are indicate that the lane that you were in if you have
those on the left side of your vehicle is either going to end or it's going to
exit so that indicates that you're on the acceleration lane so as you're
coming out on the on-ramp you're heading to the acceleration you're looking for
your gap you're matching your speed to meet that gap and you're going to adjust
your speed accordingly so here in this image you can see the red vehicle at the
back the red vehicle is probably going to merge in behind the green vehicle so
you as the driver when adjusting your speed to merge in between behind that
vehicle because I can tell you now that if you have two or three vehicles in
front of you such as this image here they're not going to get up to speed
very quickly oftentimes they're just kind of kind of meander out onto the
freeway which is not what I recommend get the vehicle up to speed as quickly
as possible now the reason I put this up here in terms of the top three reasons
for crashes and I've talked about this before speeding failing to yield and
following too close and you can see that failing to yield or failing to give way
is number two in terms of crashes so this comes back to the thing about you
can be right or you can be and right you need to give up the right
of way sometimes and even though you have the right of way don't insist that
you have the right of way so you know see that as the number two reason for
road crashes and then of course following too close which I talked about
the fundamentals of defensive driving are space management if you're not near
anything it's less likely you're gonna hit something so case studies so what
prompted all of this in terms of talking about Road rules and who has the
right-of-way was a question from a smart driver who was unsuccessful on a road
test and asked me who had the right-of-way because the smart driver
was making a left-hand turn at a two-way stop and across from where the driver
had stopped there were two vehicles making a right-hand turn well one turned
and then the I guess the driving examiner said something about the fact
that he had to go now I can't make specific judgments on that call by the
by the examiner because I wasn't there so I don't know the exact situation but
I do know and I can tell you definitively that if you're waiting to
turn left in there are two vehicles across from you at a two-way stop
waiting to turn right then you have to wait for those two right-hand turning
vehicles it may be mitigated by the amount of time between the two vehicles
turning right but for the most part 75% of smart drivers did in fact get this
question right that you need to wait for the to right turning vehicles
okay so yeah unfortunately this is incorrect and I apologize about that so
that's what you need to do and that's what the road rules are and again it
comes back to the right-of-way is never taken the right-of-way is always given
so in other words if one of these vehicles is in the intersection you're
gonna have to wait for that vehicle in the intersection doesn't matter who has
the right-of-way all right and there goes okay so predict traffic patterns so
essentially rules of the road as it says down here at the bottom in blue if
followed Road rules create predictable traffic patterns so if everybody more or
less follows the road rules it will set up predictable traffic patterns and if
you're looking ahead at controlled intersections uncontrolled intersections
that in turning lanes and those types of things and you're watching other
if most people are adhering to the road rules it's going to create predictable
traffic patterns and you are going to be able to predict and interpret what
individual road users are doing and again this comes back to what I've
talked about before with knowing the characteristics of the vehicles and the
roads this is going to help as well and as well spring summer fall and other
times of the year you're gonna have different vehicles on the roadway which
are going to set up unpredictable traffic patterns
so this snowmobiler here coming down over the bank onto a roadway has to give
way because essentially the rule of giving way from a private driveway a
roadway applies to the rider on the snowmobile but he or she may not know
that and may not give up the right-of-way so if you're coming up
there and you see that snowmobile coming down there I would strongly recommend
that you have your foot covering the brake and you're taking evasive action
so that you can potentially stop or avoid a crash with that snowmobiler
coming down over the bank okay so good luck on your road test and remember when
it comes to rules of the road and right-of-way pick the best answer not
necessarily the right answer so just go back over and then I'll start answering
questions here all right transition ok so we got that hi there we're back and
lots of questions I'm sure all right and as I said if I don't get to your
questions just to ask your question again and remind me and I'll be more
than happy to get to your question okay so Darby SH I'm struggling to drive
straight sometimes my wheels right or left I feel a micromanage my steering
can you suggest any strategies control too much movement yes
Darvish what you're doing is you're not looking far enough down the road so you
need to look farther down the road and look for landmarks and toriel put the
video up for you on sending your vehicle in the roadway and that'll help you to
stop micromanaging the steering wheel because you really shouldn't be
micromanaging the steering wheel in this day and age I mean unless there's
something wrong with your vehicle and the steering needs to be fixed or
whatnot for but for the most part you should be able to look farther down the
road and hold the vehicle in Center of the roadway all right Odie I
downloaded all of your Anki YouTube discussion it was the daily background
in my car like driving it just passed my license last August only by watching
your videos oh that's awesome Odie congratulations make sure you head
over to the smart drive test website and sign up for 100k campaign register for
that and yeah that lets us know they're mad like the Terminator picture there
yeah always came up on the road rage incident so yeah you wouldn't want that
happening thanks so much Odie god be nice if I got a plaque of appreciation
from these other authorities to show what I'm doing is working all right so
mr. Odie is from southern Texas that's great edinburg texas yeah right on the
boy there I'm so thankful with all of your efforts generosity as youssef
initely share your time in driving safety thank you so much for that Odie
that's really great River Thompson how does the right-of-way work when there is
a bike lane to your right and you are turning right okay so River these do
vary a little bit from jurisdiction to jurisdiction in terms of bicycle lanes
but here in British Columbia where I live and in many states and provinces
it's going to be a solid white line that is going to divide the bicycle lane from
the main road of traffic and when that happens you cannot deviate into the
bicycle lane if it is a dotted line as you're approaching the intersection then
yes you can move into the bicycle lane to turn right so if it's a solid white
line you cannot move into the bicycle lane if it's a dotted white line then
you can indeed move into the bicycle lane to turn right and there are many
states that they do have dotted white lines and you can move in there now here
in Vernon British Columbia we have at one of our busier intersections bicycle
lane that is a different color it's green it's a dotted white line and it
crosses it crosses over the entrance of the slip lane the turning lane so off
obviously as a vehicle who a driver who's going to be turning right into the
slip plane you're gonna have to cross over the bicycle lane so it's a
that you do a shoulder check and move safely across that bicycle lane okay all
right Trevor g1 going to expire December but I
haven't got my g2 or G yet I don't think there's enough time for me to get my
full G licence before then well I have to start all over or not no Trevor if
you have a g1 and you go and get your g2 I think that extends your your period of
time so if you've been in there you still get your G you can go and start
the process and it will just keep everything else going okay so make sure
that you do that just go and start the process and start working towards
getting you're doing your test and carrying on okay November 5th the RV's
you're gonna do great okay thanks so much Derby Sh appreciate this up welcome
to the smart driver community here and now that's great
my classmate is leading today I'm sorry here I'm sorry here that Jaden that's
that's terrible my condolences alright excellent so if you're watching on the
replay be sure to subscribe be sure to give a thumbs up and share the video
leave a comment all that helps out the new drivers who are working towards a
licensed veteran drivers who are working to remain crash free and CDL drivers who
are working to start a career as a truck or bus driver that's what we do here so
consider subscribing consider giving it a thumbs up if you haven't already and
as well as I said airbrakes explained simply is an
electronic ebook that i've rewritten the air brakes manual and tried to explain
it simply in a better format for you and giving you the exact information that
you need to pass the CDL air brakes test both in the United States and here in
Canada mostly for the United States but it's just about ready and I'm hoping to
have it up for November I just sent it back to the graphic designer with some
of the final things I got to shoot a couple of videos for it but it's going
well and I'm hoping to get that up shortly for you and the other thing I'm
working on is a winter driving course and I'm going to have one of the live
streams here working it's winter because it's feeling pretty
chilly outside it's starting to rain here so and I think the connector
between Kelowna British Columbia and Merritt tonight was predicted they're
predicting that it's going to get 10 centimeters of snow up on the high
mountain passes so it is just about wintertime here as well
AB good evening how are you where are you tuning in from Darvish Rick you have
a list of things that will be an automatic fail on a road test it would
like to know this is I don't want to make any mistakes on my road test
Darvish what I would suggest to you is to focus on what you are going to do
right on your road test and it's more important to focus on that however it
one of the same time derbyshire there is a video here on what to look for in
terms of things that are going to cause you to fail your road test ok excellent
ok chronic do MNS tires past winter tires to insurance companies yes they do
chronic there's a video do I have a video on winter tires yes
with Gary at tire land here in Vernon I have an interview with him he talks
about winter tires and M&S stands for mud and snow and yes they will pass for
winter tires and in the mountain passes and those types of things here in bridge
Columbia and other provinces ok Sebastien I had this person refused to
slow speed and let me merge on when I had to do in point 4 miles I was upset
with him he needs to be tuning in on Sunday nights Thank You Sebastian but I
don't think he's going to as I said the onus of responsibility in terms of
merging onto a highway or a freeway is really with the person who is merging so
unfortunately and I don't think that you know even if the person does to know
it's not gonna help them Liam what does a bike symbol with two arrows above it
mean in New York City Liam I would have to specifically look at that but where
are the arrows pointing Liam that would be the other thing I need to know okay
ah watching you from Windsor I passed my full G after watching your videos now my
wife's is going for a g2 test I told her to watch your videos that's awesome so
congratulations they're in Windsor that's really awesome Ashley's here I'm
doing fine how are you tonight Ashley epic you're right about my four-way stop
being complicated sometimes but my general rule is that I usually let the
vehicle on the right to go first then myself epic most of the time that's
gonna work for you if the four-way stop isn't too busy but if you find that the
four-way stops are busy as they may be during morning rush hour or in the
afternoon you're gonna want to alternate with the alternating lanes of traffic
because it's gonna move more vehicles through the intersection as opposed to
always giving way to the vehicle on the right because if you give way to the
vehicle on the right it may confuse other drivers as to what's going on so
what I might suggest is is have a look at the video and then just kind of maybe
go down to a four-week stop when they are busy and have a look at how the
traffic moves through that and that will give you a little bit more understanding
of how all that works okay Jamie Davis is getting upset yeah okay halt phases
here hi there halt halt phase hopefully tonight you're not gonna get banned as
it was good happening last week so Ashley is in from Florida that's great
as the weather starting to cool down there Ashley in Florida
24 pretty I'm related but sometimes at night I can't see the lanes when two
lanes suddenly turn to three or vice-versa yes that can be a problem
Chuck for sure and be sure to have a look at the night driving video and that
will give you some tips and techniques for being able to find the road and
determining when the lanes are going to change for example when they're gonna go
from two to three lanes or three lanes to two lanes okay so have a look at all
of that Hall phase how many people get their licenses in Canada per year you do
you know I don't know how many in Canada Hall phase but I do know that in the
province of British Columbia which has a population of about 12 million there are
60,000 new licenses a year so there's there's that's a fair number so I don't
know whether you can extrapolate that or not but I'm sure you'd be able to find
that information out fairly easily okay 380 there cloak Lee called sharrows
they define a bike lane that occupies a vehicle lane space must be adhered
between bicycles and motor vehicles okay excellent
thank you for that 380 I also check out so there's the playlist final days for
the road test and that'll help you out in terms of getting prepped for the last
days before your road test and make sure that you're going to be good and ready
for that and just on that note of final days Road prep be sure that you book a
practice driving test with a local driving school because a driving
instructor will take you out and give you an assessment of your driving
abilities and your preparedness for a road test and they'll indicate skills
techniques and abilities that you need to improve to be successful on a road
test and I know Sam who works in the Bronx Ruki auto driving school I think
it's only about 25 dollars for a practice driving test a mock road test
and it is so worth the money so I would really counsel you to take a road test a
mock road test before your road test book one three weeks out and do it two
or three days before your road test then that'll help you out okay um Matt
looking forward to that winter driving course we're already hit the freezing
mark a couple of times here in wasu yes okay definitely Matt I will make that a
priority as soon as what am i working on right now I'm doing some air brake stuff
for a company I'm working for so get all that done for you okay
all right chronic LED halogen lights what is a better way of seeing at night
halogens yes actually chronic I think there is a headlight
called Nighthawks they're not they're not cheap either fairly expensive and
actually what I'll do for you nightmare chronic is I will find those light bulbs
for you on Amazon or I'll put them up on the Amazon store so what you can do
tonight I'll just write myself a note here is
just go over to the smart drive test website and click on the Amazon link
there on the front page and that'll take over to Amazon and you can have a look
at those nighthawk just remind myself so I put that up on the smart drive test
because you can have a shop and smart drive test has his own shop on Amazon so
you can have a look at that okay um Tyrell if my permit expires and
I haven't took my driving test yet do I have to redo my whole permit or just the
permit test no you'll just Tyrell you I don't know where you are in North
America here where you are in the world rather you may just have to go in and
rewrite the theory test but you may also have to redo the whole thing again so I
don't know I would get in touch with the examination center where you're going to
be taking your test and ask them about that and what what you need to do for
that okay rail Rooter scent - camp yep I was wondering if you've received it
actually I haven't I don't know whether I've received it yet royal I'm gonna
have to have a look for that and I'll write myself a note for that as well
it's been just a crazy busy week I've been finishing up this project that just
has gone over so royal video okay so I'm gonna have a look at that - so I've
written myself a note there we go Ashley where's Ashley Ashley the last thing to
scratch the back of my car because I actually turned into a narrow alleyway
and we had to back out couldn't see what I was backing into any tips I'm backing
up at night yes one of the things I would suggest Ashley when you're backing
up at night if you can't see around your vehicle definitely stop the vehicle put
it in park put the parking brake on get out and have a look around the vehicle
because if you unfortunately that's what's gonna happen is you're gonna
scratch the vehicle if you don't know for sure and that that goes for not just
what you're doing Ashley in terms of your vehicle and backing up at night but
any vehicle that you're driving if you are the least bit unsure when you're
backing up get out and look gol gol get out and look and the bigger the vehicle
the more important that becomes because if you were in the least bit dug you
don't like even if you have somebody who's backing you up who's guiding you
if you can't see them or you're in the least bit doubt stop that vehicle secure
it and get out and look and make sure you know what
going on because unfortunately what happens is if you damage the vehicle or
you cross property damage you as the driver are responsible so make sure you
can see your end of the vehicle all right Claudia thanks for your tips have
passed my test three weeks ago you're awesome excellent thank you so
much Claudia and if you don't mind if you could head over to the smart drive
test and register for the 100k campaign which is our campaign to help under
thousand drivers pass the road test in the next year that would be really great
Brit can you a video about intersections from what lane to turn to I always get
confused ok Brit have a look at both playlists for right turning and left
turning choreo get those up for you g OCH is it raining season could you
please get more tips on driving in rainy days yes I can do that I need to do a
video on raining because the one I had had a little problem in it I think I was
speeding in the video so I need to change that ok Hall phase I saw someone
driving in the Nevada desert in one of the straight roads and he was doing 180
kilometres an hour do you recommend that when the road is straight with hardly
any cars I can't recommend that Hall phase but that's up to your own
discretion about whether you want to let the string out you're on a straight
stretch of road okay EPIK where'd you go here
EPIK from Phillipsburg New Jersey you're absolutely right about four-way stops
being complicated sometimes with my general oohs yeah we already talked
about that weird that right Brit my road test got rescheduled to this Sunday I'm
going to be practicing the whole week excellent so one of the things Brit
focus for a short period of time every time that you go out on skills and
abilities that you have difficulty with so you know if you if you're having
difficulty with parallel parking for example just book a slot of time say
listen I'm gonna do this for 15 or 18 minutes during my practice session and
that way you're not gonna wear yourself out because you know slow speed
maneuvers will improve your overall driving but don't just do that do you
spend a bit of time on it but then take a break and drive around and then come
back and do that okay Jamie my test is on the October 12th and I also live in
Vernon my mock test is on October 11th that's
awesome and Jamie who are you taking your mock road test with here in Vernon
Ashley people that have a license that have not been driven for a long time
they need to learn how to drive by themselves yes yes they do Ashley for
sure Tim there we go Tim Tim Tim Tim can there we go okay so
Tim is saying congrats tips Oh Brit tips for driving in the rain and
snow and actually interesting enough Brit one of the things for driving in
rain and snow anytime that it's overcast or you have your windshield wipers on
turn your headlights on that makes you more visible to other traffic and makes
it easier for other drivers to be able to see you that's gonna be the first and
foremost in terms of driving and rain snow as well drive to the conditions of
the roadway if it's slippery out and you're not comfortable make sure you get
stay in that right-hand lane and that you're driving at a speed that you can
handle the vehicle and get stopped as well anytime that road conditions
deteriorate increase your following distance behind other vehicles under
ideal conditions your following distance is going to be two to three seconds but
as road conditions deteriorate as it starts to rain heavier as there's more
snow on the road increase that following distance because it's going to give you
more time to stop your vehicle in the event of an emergency and those types of
things to make sure that you're looking far down the road particularly in winter
weather and whatnot because the traffic down the road could come to a stop all
of sudden and you you need lots of space to be able to get your vehicle stopped
alright and in the rain make sure you have good windshield wipers make sure
your defroster is working well one of the other things you might put on your
vehicle is rain-x and again you can go over to the smart drive test website
click the Amazon link and in there in the shop is the rain-x and the rain-x
essentially is added to your windshield washer fluid and you can squirt it on
your windshield and it will cause the rain to beat off and give you better
visibility inside your vehicle if you're finding that during this time of the
year when it's when there's a disparate temperature difference between outside
and inside your vehicle roll to roll down your window it's like crack your
drivers window in that way that'll help to
defrost some of the windows inside the vehicle and whatnot there we go okay I
Matt I've been in Illinois 16 years ago I had to renew my learner's permit
didn't have to do anything special other than to pay a small fee to renew it yeah
I was a few years ago Matt the most of these things have changed so okay Hall
phase we're off to a very slow start on 100k campaign I don't even think we've
reached a hundred yet so it's gonna take a little while to get some momentum
going here and getting lots of people knowing about 100k campaign it's one of
those marketing challenges for sure Ellie how long time to get g to license
by mail generally you should get it within six to eight weeks Ellie if you
haven't got it by six to eight weeks go down to the MTO and ask them what's
going on year 86 tips on how to back out enough of parking spots before turning
wheel to get out especially when there's a car part to your left and right okay
so 86 when you back off you want to you want to back out straight as far as you
can but essentially what you want to do you want to back out so that the the
front steer axle is at the back of the other two vehicles so for example if
you're gonna back out and you're gonna go to the right you want to have the
front axles at the rear because what's going to happen is is as you turn the
vehicle in this direction the front of the vehicle is going to go this way so
you need to be back out far enough to allow that front-end to swing past that
vehicle on that left side so that's the general rule that I would suggest to you
uh there you go there's there's Tim giving you the we're at 31 so we got a
few more to go yeah ninety nine thousand and in change there we go
Sebastian okay sorry I skipped a couple of people here and did it Colin did you
say it was your birthday I think you did okay I went down there
okay um yeah so as Tim said the 100k program was was broken for a couple of
weeks so yeah we didn't we didn't find out actually what you
should do if you come across a flooded area and there's no way to turn back I
drove through a flooded area and was afraid to damage my car okay
excellent question Ashley and one of the things I will tell you about water
sitting water on the roadway and I learned this from personal experience
that when the water starts stops going off the front of the vehicle like this
in a spray pattern because you're driving through and it's spraying off
the vehicle and rather it just kind of goes out in front of the vehicle and
ripples then the water is too deep to be driving in I learned this a few years
ago because I went through this deep water it was in a hurry we were on a
back road the whole roadway was flooded and eventually the because the engine
became flooded with water and I was with my wife at the time and she's will I
guess we'll have to get out and push so I got out of the front of the vehicle
and I pushed her on the front of the car and the cards have kind of floated away
so if you think the water is too deep to be driving in it probably is and you
really shouldn't be there so for most passenger vehicles if the water is
deeper than 8 to 12 inches or 20 to 30 centimeters it's probably too deep to be
driving in so you don't want to be driving in and if it's too deep because
eventually the car will float it will not go in there and sit down on the
bottom maybe if you have a big 4x4 or whatnot but for the most part I would
say for most passenger vehicles and light trucks 10 to 12 inches you know 10
12 to maybe 15 inches or 20 to 30 centimeters and then you shouldn't be
driving in it okay Chino I have a question regarding if you
should be looking both ways on every intersection on your road test yes you
should chain oh for sure because you need to shoulder check as well because
you're looking for road users you're looking for pedestrians people on
bicycles people on scooters so yes you need to check both ways okay yes okay
Liam what is the best way to get climatized to driving a new larger
vehicle liam one of the things to do is simply drive it okay that's the best way
to do it and do slow speed maneuvers that's gonna work out frame excellent so
you're going with Rebecca with live another day that's great so your
to do great there and she's gonna give you the awesome feedback to be
successful there the ICBC to take your test I have a question about when I am
turning right into a main road I know that I should turn into the most right
lane but should I also consider the middle lane to be empty in case I take a
wide turn no a ways when you're turning left you're gonna go into the left lane
when you're turning right you're gonna go into the right lane if you're turning
why do you need to go back and revisit the fundamentals because you need to be
able to turn from one lane of traffic into the other lane of traffic without
going wide if you go wide you're not gonna be
successful in a road test and Koryo put the video up here for you on learning to
drive and it give you some exercises with cones that you can do in a parking
lot that will help you to improve your skills with the primary controls the
steering wheel the brake and the throttle and combine those three primary
controls together and have absolute control of that because if you don't
have absolute control and you turn right and you deviate out into that middle
lane it's not likely you're gonna be successful on your road test so you need
to improve those skills okay Ryan I'm late but hello spend some
time on parallel parking today currently not a fan it's pretty tough yes Ryan it
can be a bit tough there at the beginning but it's gonna be better Hall
phase what am i working on I was looking at the air brake book today and I've got
to do two videos for the air brake book I got to do one on chaining up how to
put chains on a big truck and I got to do another video on the five in-cab
checks for air brakes and I know for most of you who are doing passenger
vehicle licenses that is probably of no interest to you but for CDL drivers and
for the purposes of doing my book air brakes explains simply I need to get
those two videos done so that's what I'm working on
Royall thanks a ton I'm an EMT in kinetic and would love to help you with
your channel I would love to provide you organically made dash cam video free of
charge to supplement your lectures royal that is incredibly generous and I am
greatly appreciative of that video because that would be just be incredibly
helpful and as I said I've written myself a note here I'm gonna look at
that dash cam video and I'll tell you that that would just be invaluable to
the channel and and helping make awareness about
emergency vehicles to drivers in North America and the world for that matter
and how important it is to you know make sure that you get out of the way and you
know give the right-of-way to people responding to emergencies and trying to
help other people in society so yeah just very generous offer I can't thank
you enough Sebastian how many miles should you put new oil in your car okay
Sebastian you should be changing the oil in your car every 5000 kilometers or
3,000 miles on most regular oil changes some of the newer vehicles that will
have synthetic oil in them and you can go as much as 7,000 kilometers between
oil changes so have a look at the owner's manual that will show you that
as well Cory will get you the video up here you have a video Sebastian on how
to change the oil in your vehicle and you can show you how to do that and it's
you know it's fairly easy I change the oil in my own vehicle and one takes me
about 20 minutes and I can do it for about $30 and it's kind of fun you know
everyone someone get out and tinker in my car so you can do that
jano should you reduce your speed when passing a bicycle I lost you there sorry
about that where'd you go where'd you go there you go no you shouldn't pass but
you should move over to the left as far as possible Vinnie had my g1 for a while
now just when I have to practice driving parallel park three-point turn just from
watching videos for a couple of days and my dad said I did better than he's ever
seen excellent we're so glad we could help you out Vinnie that's really great
yes and practice practice practice is gonna make you a better driver and help
you be successful on your road test what if I went to parallel park and there's a
car behind me star are you working towards your license test is that what
you're doing because it's unlikely I mean in some cases they will get you to
park between two vehicles for the purposes of a road test but most of the
time they're not going to get a vehicle to park a vehicle behind you for the
purposes of a road test and have a look at the mock road test video here as well
look at parallel parking that will help you over so drive smart BC that's Tim he
does some really great work and has really awesome resources at drive smart
BC and I do encourage you to head over there and look at Tim's web
as well he's got really great blog information for road rules and those
types of things
thank you so much thank you so much Tim for that encouragement and compliment
it's really great and I'm glad that we're helping a lot of people out and I
really endorse what you're doing there at drive smart BC as well and you're
doing some awesome work too and certainly helped me out and whatnot
particularly with a question a few weeks back about turning left from a one-way
street onto another one-way street or a roadway in that you can do that so a
little bit of interesting Road rules and what we're talking about tonight Paul
Feig's what do you do if the car floats well unfortunately what's gonna happen
Hall phase after a short period of time is the car is going to sink and
eventually what happened was all the foot wells in the car did fill up with
water so they'll know that eventually it will sink but for the most part it will
float for a short period of time too so if you do end up in a crash and you end
up out on the water what not it will float for a short period of time and
give you an opportunity to get out of the vehicle okay Cory I don't know how
universal it is but I was taught to not turn from backing out a lot until the
string wheel wheels is physically farther back than the cars next to you
yes if if you have that much space Cory then I recommend that as well and I know
that some parking lots are going to be fairly tight and if it is fairly tight
you you want to wait until the front steer tires are kind of in line with the
back bumpers but what you said there is is absolutely right you want to wait
until you're absolutely out of completely out of the space if you have
that much room then by all means do that because it adds a buffer of space and
safety for you while you're backing out of the space od encountered this on my
license exam theory exam true or false don't know the answer here is it animal
drawn vehicles in a roadway do not have the same rights and duties as a motor
vehicle operator that's interesting Odie and I would have to look that up it's
particularly interesting is where my mom lives in Ontario dealing with the
Midnight's and a lot of horse-drawn vehicles along the sides of the roads
and there's a Corie Oh get that up for you on
slow-moving vehicles and I put some of the Mennonites in there and that would
make sense to me because a lot of the animal drawn vehicles are not going to
be able to do the same speed limit attained the same speeds as motor
vehicles so that would make sense to me but Odie just remind me where you are in
the world there and I'll have a look at that jano where'd you go where'd you go
I'm running behind you I'm gonna have to catch up I'd like to help thank you for
helping me get through my g2 test and my Giro test I'm about to take in Toronto
on October 15th well congratulations on preparing for that and taking your test
that's a great feat and good luck on your test be sure to stop back and let
us know how that goes driven before in 59 how many lessons should I take Nancy
I would suggest that what you do is go to a driving school and go out for an
evaluation and get the driving instructor to give you some specific
feedback because I mean you may have an aptitude for driving and you may not
have to take very many or you might have to take a few more so it's kind of
depend on that so that's what I would recommend that you do is go to a driving
school and take an evaluation and see what the examiner or the driving
instructor says and the other thing Nancy I would suggest to you is find a
driving instructor that works with seniors because especially seniors who
were older and going for retesting that's gonna be your best bet and
they're gonna be able to help you the most
all right Ryan no I haven't posted the thing like I said I'm just I'm coming
back to smart drive test here I've been I've been away for the summer and I'm
finishing up another project and I'm excited to get back here and get going
on all this stuff again and I'm gonna leave myself a note for that as well
there we go and I've written a note I got that down there so get that done
okay i was-- thank you especially all the for the link you're most welcome
Royall no dash cam video from the ambulance unfortunately but I have
plenty of footage from my personal vehicle excellent that's going to help
out how often do you change do you get an oil change I change my oil in my
Honda every 5,000 kilometers haul face Chris I got pulled over with my G
by police what should I do I have a court in two months Chris what was the
infraction that the police pulled you over for all right 380 where'd you go
where'd you go where'd you go where'd you go - I agree throat I can also send
over personal vehicle unknown how similar our laws are but always willing
to help no that'd be great 380 if you could do that as well essentially I
think what I'm gonna do is - cam I'll set up a Google Drive and then we can
drop it in there because I know some of this video footage can get fairly big ok
chronic do I let off the gas pedal when being passed on a two-way Road chronic
you can do that depending on the speed differential between you and the passing
vehicle if the passing vehicle is going further quickly then I wouldn't bother
letting off but if it's kind of you know they're trying to get by you then I
would let off the throttle and let them get by you for sure ok Ashley okay I'm
going to learn how to drive by myself excellent and Ashley if you have some
trepidation about that about driving by yourself start on residential places
places where there's low traffic traffic density and just get used to it and then
you know as you become more comfortable with driving by yourself then start to
move out on busier roads and those types of things and if you're uncomfortable
driving by yourself you know it's not it's not a it's not a slight against you
if you take somebody with you to kind of give you some advice for example if
you're having if any of you having difficulty with turning left at complex
intersections then get somebody to go with you can help you up because judging
gap is difficult and if you have a veteran driver who has some experience
in the vehicle with you they can say no no no don't go there's not enough gap or
those types of things and that's a very experiential thing and they can help you
out with that so do that as well all right okay um
okay uh mayor you when you turn allowed if there's no signs yes okay I think
you're talking about right-hand turns Corey we'll get the video up for you on
turning right on a red light and how to do that with Rick's videos and pass them
first I chronic that's awesome be sure to register for anybody who's passed a
road test be sure to register I'm just trying to catch up here on the
it's Christian when I'm turning left and an intersection I'm confused in the wet
lane to turn into Christian the left lane to left lane right two-lane rain
right lane to right lane so when you turn left you're going to turn into the
left-hand Lane and then you're going to merge back to the right unless you're
gonna turn left at the next intersection or what not but for the most part you're
gonna merge back over to the right vini how long does it take to set a date for
a g2 road test and receive your license upon passing that I don't know Vinnie it
depends where you are in Ontario and how busy the MTO
licensing Center is going to be so you need to call them and see how long how
far out you can book a road test the other thing you can do video is go
through a driving school because they get blocks of appointments at the MTO
center so through a driving school you might get a sooner appointment okay
Starr I meant if there is a car going after me in the line and I just want to
parallel park do I signal so the person behind me backs off or should I look for
another spot no Starr if you're parallel parking you simply pull up the others
beside the other vehicle immediately put the vehicle into reverse and put your
while you're gonna already have your right signal so as you're approaching
the space put your right signal on when you get up three feet beside the other
vehicle put the vehicle into reverse right away and that way your reverse
lights are gonna go on and your signal is going to be on and the vehicle behind
you is gonna know that you're parallel parking so they're gonna wait for you
okay cronic you're most welcome Edwyn hi there how are you
no more rush it was a question no I appreciate the reminder Ryan that really
helps me out because I've got a lot of things going on right now so I really
appreciate that Jo I'm an experience that the drivers pressuring pedestrians
the crosswalk will turn left is this allowed no it's not a lot J no if you
start pressuring pedestrians and you start pushing through an intersection
especially on a road test you are not going to be successful on a road test so
don't do that next week excellent we'll see you next week Ryan I really look
forward to talking to you again okay so I think we've got caught up here
excellent and we're just at the end of the hour here so again if you're

what you see here at smart drive test thank you everyone for showing up Thank
You Corey for the Great Moderation on the channel and I'm glad that YouTube
figured out the comments and everybody was able to get their comments through
tonight last week it was a bit of a bit of a meal a in terms of trying to get
all that going kale I took my driver's test yesterday and I passed the driving
part but failed to maneuver manoeuvrability part because they
knocked over some cones excuse me sorry to hear that Kayla so do you just
have to take the manoeuvrability part again Kayla or do you have to take the
whole thing yes darn cones and somebody from Ohio asked
me about that so I'll write this down here and that'll
