Pushy vehicles: anticipation & observation skills to keep you safe
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 січ 2024
- Examples of pushy vehicles: by keeping your eyes open, looking for clues that vehicles may move over on you, and by placing your motorcycle in the safest position, you can keep yourself safe around other pushy vehicles.
Use your observation skills to know what is happening around you with good mirror checks and lifesavers where needed. Use this information to position your motorbike in the safest location in your lane, whilst looking for further clues that the vehicles around you may be about to change lanes, or move across on you.

Ahh that second clip gives me flashbacks to the accident that wrote off my first bike middle of last year. Some folks really think they can just pull out over 3 lanes without looking and it will be fine.
Take care out there everyone :)
😩 unfortunately the only person looking out for you, is you. A difficult lesson to learn the hard way 😔 Thanks for your comment.
Passed my mod 2 this morning. Your videos were really helpful!
Congrats! Glad to have helped ☺️
Lets be clear, half the battle is looking out for motorists who don't know how to drive! We are left bewildered how they got behind the wheel of a vehicle when they should be allowed to drive nothing more adventurous than a shopping trolley! :P
😂 I often say something similar about tailgaters... If you wouldn't usually chase me from behind with your shopping trolley, why are you doing it in the car?
Thanks for the comment & for making me smile 😊
Unfortunately people aren't much better when in control of a shopping trolley either.
I was stood in the short self-service queue a while ago and the person joining the queue behind me rear ended me with their trolley 😕 Weren't pleased when I turned around and said "I hope you didn't drive to get here! 🤦"

Just by way of a thank you have progressed to the point where I will enter for Mod2, in no small measure thanks to Leanne, driving along I really do hear her voice, "mirror, signal, lifesaver and position!" Has helped no end, thanks so much, your fan Roo!
Thanks again leanna, yes just be prepared for the inconsidered drivers, and stay calm would be safe. You teach us well.
Thank you 😊
Thanks Leanna. I was cringing a few times there. 👏👏
Thanks, it's quite a common occurrence unfortunately 😬
@motorcyclelessonsuk yes, you have to have your wits about you all the time. 🤔🤔
You need eyes in the back of your head. Some Peoples driving standards today are absolutely appalling. Stay safe out there.
I often use the phrase "you need eyes in your elbows", I think that's the same thing really! 😂 thanks for your comment 😊
'Remember you're not in a car' is what one of my instructors said to me one day after a simlar incident. That really made me think. Since you're the one that ALWAYS loses in a collision you have to be extra vigilant, keep out of their, way and let them head off to the scene of their next accident....
A very good reminder 👍 thank you.
Good Evening Leanna, every days a learning day 😄
I have taught myself that anyone on the road is a new driver/rider and new in town, it helps me keep my head and just be prepared for the unexpected that I'm already expecting.
I just think some car drivers just don't like us motorbike folk because we are cool 😂😂😂
stay safe and safe ride
your forever stalker Kev🤭
Always expect the unexpected 👍 thanks Kev 😁
Hi Leanna how are you? That Merc was determined to push his way in!
Another good video 🙂👍
All good, thanks Ian. Hope you are too. Hmmm yes, the conflict between the two cars was interesting to watch back.
@@motorcyclelessonsuk Hi Leanna, glad you are ok. I’m waiting to go into hospital for some surgery, but I’m ok thank you. Yeah I bet when you see some of the things you’ve captured via your helmet cam it’s interesting when you watch them back.
They look cold, hot cocoa all round
Haha yes wouldn't that be great. A flask of hot cocoa on a chilly day ☕😊
That’s why we need to have eyes around our heads, and thinks for others…
But that Mercedes didn’t even stopped :/ ehh
No, they were very intent on being the "winner" 🤷
Hi Leanna. Do you have a video (or could you make one) on how to deal with getting stranded in the wrong lane of a complex roundabout and having to correct this whilst negotiating the roundabout? All of the DVSA publications (rightly) assume that, with planning and anticipation, you will always enter the roundabout in the correct lane, but in real life (and potentially on test in an unfamiliar area as happened to me), it is possible that the incorrect entry lane is selected for whatever reason. It would be great to hear and see your advice. Thanks for your work - it's massively helpful.
Hi Phil, I'm not ignoring this request, just haven't had time to edit my upload for it yet! Stay tuned 😄
@@motorcyclelessonsuk ha ha. No worries at all. I know what it's like - I have a small channel and the editing, while fun, is very time consuming. Always happy to wait. 👍👍
@@philcaffrey thanks, it certainly is! Difficult finding time on my days off sometimes to fit it all in 😬😂
That Merc was the definition of a numpty wouldn't take no for an answer disrespectful to say the least
Yes, neither car wanted to give in, but to push over into lane 1 really took the biscuit 😬 Thanks for your comment 😊
I have a question if you don't mind.
Today, I was on the A6 leaving Manchester. A slip road on my left becomes the new leftmost lane. I was doing the speed limit (40mph), and needed to get to the left lane to take the next exit. However, there are two cars on my left going the same speed as me.
Overtaking would take me over the speed limit, which would be a fail. If I slow down to let them pass and then change lane, I'm causing them to undertake, so also a fail, right? If I indicate to the left, and they slow down to let me in, I've caused them to change speed (or direction), which is also a fail I think.
Is this right? What should I do for the test?
Great question. In an ideal world we would see the slip road approaching (through reading signs etc) & anticipate this situation arising. Then you can plan your speed & positioning & lane change appropriately as the vehicles come into sight. Personally, if I was stuck as you were, I would ease off, without indicating and then when it was safe, indicate & move in. Causing them to pass you on the left by doing this wouldn't be a fail. Definitely wouldn't speed to overtake. Thanks for the interesting question 😊
@@motorcyclelessonsuk You're welcome, and thanks for your answer! I've learnt so much from your videos, so thank you!
Its soo hard not to get angry, ppl honestly cant drive. If car drivers where to redo their test, they would fail todays modern standards which is great cause less numpties on the road.
This happens quite often, it just shows the lack of awareness and ability of some drivers. We just have to accept it and be super focused. In my experience anger breeds anger, so I don't really see the point 🤷♀️
Seems there's a lot of "numpties" around on the roads these days!
Definitely plenty about! Thanks for your comment 👍
Cbt run out in summer time
can you do your A2 licence on a 125 ?
Thanks
Short answer, no. You can do your mods on a 125, if you pass you can only ride up to 125, obviously without L plates.
@@kaitycute12 Thank you for getting back do you know worthy how much it will cost
A1 and A2
Thanks
A1 and A2 are the same tests but on different powered bikes, could be anything from £700 to over a thousand for a DAS course, best check with local instructors.
@@kaitycute12 thanks
A1 is only completed on a 125cc.
A2 gives the restricted licence, usually completed by 19-23 year olds (legally they cannot ride an unrestricted bike)
A is an unrestricted licence for those aged 24 and above.
The costs depend on your ability and the training route you choose to take.
Don't forget you need your motorcycle theory test before you can take any of the practical tests.
Thanks 😊
Need the reactions of a cat some times
Haha yes 😹
You didn't say Numbty there 😂😂
Didn't I?! 😉😂
If you buy a mercedes, it's actually law to drive like a complete bellend. They can repo your car if you don't
😂
