    2:07 merge point, you are on the right position then u checked your left blind spot after you enter merge road. 3.10 ur position on the left, in the middle of intersection u indicate right, check blind spot. Means if we are on the left position we have to indicate right and blind spot early. So sorry if I am wrong. Thanks a a lot

      If you are in the lane that needs to move across (in Joondalup that's always the left lane) then you also have to indicate. At 3:09/3:10 I indicated. It might have seemed to be too early to you but it was less than one second before we got through the intersection and you need to ensure that your indicator is seen by the other car so that they can take action. That's why it's called an 'indicator' - to indicate our intention (in advance). We don't move across to the other lane, however, until after the intersection finishes and we are into the merging area - we use the left kerb (and the Form 1 Lane sign) as our guide in this case.

      It's covered in the video. You must stay in your lane no matter which exit you are using at a roundabout. You can change lanes separately after you have safely fully exited the roundabout in your lane. If it's a normal intersection (not a roundabout) and there is only one turning lane, then you can flow directly to whichever lane you want.

    12:08 you say to stop your indicator and put it back on to show you havent accidentially left it on? but the stop was so pathetic would the car behind even notice? and is this something that an accessor would even care about? to me if you have checked your blindspot and your all clear, why could you not just leave it on? seems excessive and like something that would cause some people to over think?

      @@EVlLSlDE you are right. The car behind wouldn't notice, and the assessor PROBABLY wouldn't care either - but the comment is made because we have received feedback in the past from an assessor on this very issue. We just call it as we see it from our experience. What I'm referring to is a general principle of indicating for the duration of the single manoeuvre, then re-indicating for a subsequent manoeuvre. I guess to illustrate the point, what would you do if you needed to safely get from lane 1 to lane 4 on the freeway? Treat it as one manoeuvre or three? Thanks for your comment. I value the feedback.

      You needto give way to all traffic to your right - regardless of the lane. They might change lanes without warning or they might 'straightline' the roundabout. The point is that this is the way it's assessed so you need to be aware of it before you tackle your PDA.

    • @ilukadrivingschool8696
      @ilukadrivingschool8696  3 роки тому +2

      You ALWAYS need to look right and left when passing through traffic lights. Primarily it's for your own safety, but secondly if you don't do it you could be marked down in your driving test for not looking for potential hazards. And a car coming through a red light poses a rare but very serious hazard. You should always look for these hazards for your entire lifetime on the road - not just your driving test. In the video it might not have been mentioned because the focus of the commentary was on merging after we had passed through the intersection.

    • @ilukadrivingschool8696
      @ilukadrivingschool8696  3 роки тому +1

      Note: This is a Western Australian interpretation.
      If your lane continues straight ahead you should NOT indicate. If your lane diverges across into the one remaining lane you SHOULD indicate. It just so happens that in Joondalup the right lane is always the one that continues straight ahead so you DO NOT indicate from that lane.
      Thanks for the question.
      If from outside of Western Australia you will need to check with your local jurisdiction.

They are generally placed on 'islands' and are designed to stop people from getting confused and going to the wrong side of the island, and therefore the wrong side of the road. There are also a small number of Keep Right signs which guide drivers into the correct lane in potentially confusing turning situations (such as the corner of Plaistowe and Grand Boulevard). Remember that some drivers learned to drive in countries where you drive on the other side of the road so turning can sometimes be confusing. These drivers sometimes rely on these signs when they lapse into old habits and try to go to the wrong side of the island . Thanks for the question and thanks for watching.

    • @ilukadrivingschool8696
      @ilukadrivingschool8696  2 роки тому

      No, because the road gradually spread from one lane to two and as you diverged slightly to the right you continued to hold a path that was close to the centre of the road the entire way. There was no possibility of another vehicle squeezing alongside you because the gap between your car and the centre of the road never widened. If you were late in deciding to choose the right lane and initially stayed left, then yes, another vehicle might already be moving into that space to your right and because you are then intending to make a distinct move to the right, a signal and a blind spot check would be needed.

    Is hitting a curb on reverse parallel parking a fail? What if you fix the parking up

    • @ilukadrivingschool8696
      @ilukadrivingschool8696  3 роки тому +1

      Firstly, we're talking here about the Western Australian driving test - so check with your local jurisdiction if outside on WA.
      You should only do a reverse parallel park 1) if you're specifically requested to do the reverse parallel park, 2) if you're asked to park in a particular space that can only be accessed properly in reverse (for example, an empty marked space between two cars), 3) you can't find an good option for a forward park within a reasonable distance.
      ... but above all, only attempt a reverse parallel park if there is no forward park option within a reasonable distance.
      Having chosen to do a reverse parallel park, the aim is to get into the bay safely. It might take you more than one manoeuvre, but if you know what you are doing you and you are going about it safely, you should get a bit of leeway to get the job done in more than one manoeuvre. It's more about how you recover the situation after you can't proceed any further because of the kerb.
      If you brush, tap or graze a kerb you should be OK. You might get marked down for 'Path' and/or 'Vehicle Management' (because worn out concrete can damage tyres - particularly if a bit of steel reinforcing is protruding). But if you hit the kerb forcefully, or continue to ride up the kerb and onto the footpath or verge, you could likely fail because you potentially put pedestrians and property in danger.

      Please read the blog on www.ilukadrivingschool.com.au that I mentioned earlier!!!!. It contains every reason to my knowledge why a student has failed at Joondalup in the past several years!!! It's hard to pass if you don't know what you're doing. Hopefully you've had lessons and you've experienced the Joondalup test area first hand for several hours! Obey the road rules - know who has right of way, stop COMPLETELY at every STOP line, turn right at traffic lights safely (particularly when there's no arrow to help you) , turn right at T-junctions safely, check blind spots when merging, changing lanes, and whenever appropriate, use your mirrors properly and make it obvious that you're checking them.and above all take the assessor for a stress free drive. If your test is early in the morning, there is less vehicle and pedestrian traffic to deal with. But you must still negotiate the first STOP sign leaving the carpark legally and safely - and stick to ALL of the speed limits..You can sit a bit under the limit on main roads (about 4 or 5 ks under) - but not too slow. Watch out for school zones after 7:30am, and also roadworks at any time. Their is absolutely ZERO tolerance for speeding in either of those situations. When you're doing a u-turn / hook turn using a sidestreet, watch out for a stop line on the road - and stop COMPLETELY! Good luck!

I'm not sure which part of the video you are referring to, but in WA you can cut a solid line if it facilitates taking an optimal path around a corner. You can also cross a solid line to do a U-turn (sometimes known as a hook turn), to overtake an obstacle (but not a vehicle sitting stationary in traffic), or to overtake a cyclist by the correct legal margin (provided that it is clear ahead).

      Interesting. I've had discussions with my local assessors about 4:08 and the agreement is that you don't need to merge to the other lane first if you intend to turn left (but you must still do a blind spot check over the right shoulder as it's a merge area) and you can cut the solid lines because you are manoeuvring to exit the street. There was a dissenting assessor at one point in time so I'm not overly surprised if there is still some inconsistency across the metro area. You and your friends should follow the issue up with your instructors. Lack of consistency in assessments needs to be addressed if it exists.
