One instructor to another 100 percent agree on your analysis. The Land Rover was 100 at fault. This issue of vehicle undertaking on roundabouts is getting more common. All the best. Ps what engine is your Mazda 2 at what mpg due you get and are you happy with it. I'm looking at one for my next car
@@Lanzy4lee thank you very much, I appreciate it. It’s 1.5 petrol with the sky active so a mild hybrid. Really good on fuel I average around 57-58mpg with the learners. Costs around £47-50 to fill up and over 500 miles on a tank. Really happy with it and drives lovely
I know I had to overtake a van on a dual carriageway, driving in the overtaking lane, doing the max they could do at 60. Felt so awkward doing it, but it woukd have caused more issues if I sat at a lower speed than him, hoping he would move over. but it did wake the van driver up to realising they should have been there, since they moved over shortly after I passed them.
We, as experienced drivers would consider flooring it on the roundabout to shut down the Range Rover and with good judgment this would be fine. You cannot expect a learner to carry this out as he already has enough to do without the added task of clever driving. No need to cancel the left indicator, just an unnecessary task adding to distraction, pupil should just be advised to focus on steering straight until the danger was over.
That’s alright mate, you’re always very welcome, if mr perfect thinks he’s so good at driving let’s make him drive around central London, see how long he survives! 😂
Hi Diss, I wouldn't even try and explain myself to these guys in the comments...they have all fallen into their own personal rules of the road around the areas that they drive on a regular basis and think EVERYONE else should automatically know the same..even learners... the fact is that they don't understand that learners don't understand normal every day driving. only take on board what trained people have to say and ignore the rest... Love every video you do and your efforts to get the message across... many thanks... Vern
There is nothing wrong with what your learner chose to do . I remember my first lesson many heats ago and being nervous to spiral out. As I hadn't developed that skill of understanding what people are doing around me. The first one stayed right too long . But we ain't expecting everything by the book. The second one I possibly would still exit right lane in the van especially if im unsure of their position . If I intend to get into the lef5 lane as soon as possible I would still keep the left signal on to say don't come past . He hasn't done anything wrong in my opinion on the 2nd round and I would much rarther see a bit of caution than go go I must exit left lane and cut the nose off the car. Yes me and you may have floored it or maybe not. Even with 30 years I wouldn't gamble if unsure. When I deicide to move over I need to be 100% sure it's safe. Which I feel is what he was doing correctly. He showed good awareness and chose the correct decision for what he felt comfortable with. It doesn't matter if someone say they would exit left lane . He is the one driving and I would much rarther someone make a decision based on what they think is safe than following the text book to the letter. I can't see anything wrong with your teaching, nor that know how to teach
In my country you're not allowed to overtake somebody outside a town on the wrong lane on a dual carriageway.In the town there's no problem to do so if it's safe. I'm just interested in driving, a taxi driver (and also lorry driver for a while) and don't have any points on my licence. I know that driving instructors have a lot more knowledge about the rules of traffic than me, but in my opinion I see nothing wrong what you and your pupil did!
It seems you’ve had your first troll on your channel, it shows it’s getting more views. Sadly, there will be more, it’s knowing when to respond that’s the bit to get your head around.
Well said sir

Respect to you for putting this up mate, honestly I totally agree with everything that you’ve said, I can’t fault you at all. 👍

@@NwaHp3 thank you so much, really appreciate it Vern!
