Electric mirrors are brilliant and make so much easier mind the day when you had to struggle on your own setting the passenger then get on and wrong or if lucky had a passenger to help. Motorway can be good to check if correct nice clear view down the left or right l lane and just enough to see the side with the handle just visible in the bottom inside corner on either side
Yes, I saw that on a UA-cam video, adjust the left side mirror so the front left passenger door handle is in the bottom right hand side of the side mirror, adjust the right side mirror so the front right driver door handle is in the bottom left hand side of the side mirror, giving you the best possible view of the road and also it shows you just enough of your car to help with reversing and to help with perspective, seeing how close or how far things are from your car. 🙃
Morning Travis, can you do a video on emerging from a side roads to a busy major road that has constant oncoming cars on both sides. When to go, how to judge
Don't rush be patient is it busy and slow you can peep and creep and someone will let you out or if busy and fast you just have to wait . Certain roads that have 2 lanes and you're turning left and signal some people will move right to allow you to merge. If you can't go you can't go don't worry about cars behind they all understand the situation and are happy to wait till safe. If you go and have an accident they aint going nowhere immediately. So just relax about it
It always makes me laugh when my Dad has driven my car and I get in my car the next day to drive it, I’m not sure why but he always adjusts the side mirrors to see what seems like 75% car and 25% road 😂 But of course I don’t say anything to him because he has a lot more experience than me, he was a bus driver and now he’s a lorry driver and I’m a little bit scared of him so I don’t dare say anything to him but I don’t understand how he can have his side mirrors adjusted that way, I like to see approximately 20% car and 80% road as that gives me as much information as possible.
Hi Travis, sorry for the random question but just wanted to ask you something, I’ve found this online, a solid white line marking indicates the boundary of a cycle lane, motorists are not allowed to cross this line and enter the cycle lane, except when turning or crossing a driveway, so you’re allowed to cross the solid white line of a cycle lane when turning or when entering or leaving a driveway?
@@WayneTulip-zm9gw yes. But you would need to use some common sense with a cycle lane. This is just one example, a test route near me has a cycle lane on a narrow country road and on a bend. If you avoid the cycle lane on the bend, it would be dangerous for the driver. So better to cross onto cycle lane for safety.
Does the cycle lane near you have a broken white line or a solid white line? My friend told me that if a cycle lane has a solid white line with a sign with no hours of operation then it’s a cycle lane 24/7 and you’re not allowed to drive along it or park in it but you’re allowed to drive across it to turn left or right or to access a private property or a private driveway, makes sense, I hope you’re well and I hope you’re enjoying the lovely weather. 🙃
@@WayneTulip-zm9gw it is a dashed white line. If the sign says 24/7 cycle lane then you keep out of it. But I would still use common sense with anything driving.
Watch this next!
