I passed my theory and test first time and i know for a fact that it was videos that made it so i could pass. You should also watch as many mock tests as you can.
I watched these videos for my driving test in Sweden and everything seems to more or less apply over here too. You were one of the biggest reasons I passed my test and are also responsible for me learning clutch control properly. I had the problem where the car that I drove in my driving school would move off without gas (even on steep hills), so you can imagine my shock when my little 19 year old 1.6 L Golf would stall everytime I wanted to move off. I passed my test almost a year ago and I've kept watching since then mostly for entertainment, but I guess It's also good to get a refresher every once in a while. Thank you for the good videos Richard!
1:47 were to wait (when the middle line is in line with mirror) 3:12 If you are turning right on our road do not go near the middle as there isn’t enough space 3:35 turning on a bend(bring the car to near stop and go into gear one as it’s safer) 3:55 waiting areas, don’t ever go to the end 5:05 if your turn to early and finish on the right it’s a serious fault Always look right when turning right 6:55 turning right with right filter light and traffic light without filter lights When turning right, If you have a green light then the traffic across probably also has a green light 8:17 yellow box junctions, Only use when you’re turning right and your exit is clear 10:33 turning right at smaller crossroads, go offside to offside as it’s too small for nearside and you’ll end up on the wrong side of the road WAIT BEFORE THE CROSSROADS IN THIS CASE 11:24 GIVE WAY LINE
When I started out with a manual, I was always worried that I was making these kinds of turns too slowly, which only made things more difficult as I tried to race trough the gears. But then I had an opportunity to drive an automatic again, and I realized my starts had always been nice and easy, there's no reason to mash the throttle, and that most of my problems driving a manual just stemmed from anxiety.
Hi Richard. Im from the Philippines and I have been binge watching your videos for the past 2 months and I can say I went from zero driving experience to being very confident on the street with a manual petrol car. The most important things that I have learned from you is gas first before clutch release and using handbrake for uphill starts. From there, my life changed. So many things still to learn. I don't know how to give back to you but subscribing is the least that I can do. Keep doing what you are doing and again, a big thanks!
Hi, pareho tayo! Also from Philippines and learning to drive for the past month or so. Difference lang eh naka-automatic ako hehe. Good luck on your learning! Hopefully, more Filipinos become more aware of these videos and become more disciplined on the roads!
@@gsmendoza Yes sir! We share just the same road. Being patient and giving way won't hurt too much of our time. If we want to arrive early, then we should wake up early, not drive fast since we have to take note, we don't own the streets, we share it with others. Goodluck on your driving as well and be safe.
Thanks Conquer Driving. I was able to learn most of my manual theory through your channel when upgrading from my automatic license. Definitely the best resource on driving in my opinion with your ability to connect and relate to your viewers and your obvious passion about cars and driving. I passed my manual test on the second attempt and will keep learning and improving from you channel and the road. 🥰
Hey, yesterday (the 22/02) I had my test and succeeded on first try! Just wanted to say thank you so much, your videos helped me a whole lot and I think I really wouln't've passed without you. Will surely continue watching your videos, I have much to learn. You're amazing, hope you're doing well.
Great help for a foreigner who wants to drive a bit outside of London! It is very useful to see videos of UK roads and get used to seeing the left-side traffic :) thanks!
Great video. I've actually been driving for around 5 years but had a bad experience just after passing my test when turning right at a crossroads - sometimes I like to have a search to see what the professionals say (specifically to do with turning nearside to nearside or offside to offside). It's all about continuous improvement and learning to drive certainly doesn't stop after passing your test!
Thank you so much for your awesome videos! I passed my driving test in the third attempt today and I wanted to record my sincere appreciation of your quality videos and teachings that have shared, which has immensely helped me to correct my driving techniques.
This was very helpful. Failed first time due to not waiting for green arrow for the right turn facing oncoming car. Didn't understand the difference between right turn at traffic light. Now, I do, if no green arrow, then oncoming cars are moving as well, so have to wait. Also used to stop for seconds before turning right even if no oncoming car. Now, I understand I don't need to and I understand when to start steering and looking into the right side of the road. Very helpful. Thanks
Passed my test yesterday. Your videos has been of great help through out my learning. Really boosted my skills and confidence. Thank you. From Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
Had about 12 hours of driving lessons done before this lockdown waiting to get back on the roads. your videos are helping me remember everything I have learnt thank you
I have my 3rd test next week and and I’m on my second instructor (the first was injured during an accident on his way back from a holiday) and this was THE BEST description of how this works! Thanks for the tip about the mirror and the line on the right!
I was confused when I saw the title, like what is difficult on turning right and why to make a video about it? It took me few seconds to realize that you drive on the other side.
Hi, just to let you know I passed my ADI part 3 and want to thank you for the videos that helped me to be a better teacher. I will be continuing to use them.
I’m learning this on my lesson today, my test is in 2 weeks I’ve just got back to learning after lockdown 😭😭 praying I pass! Thank you so much for these videos! X
You know what this what i asked for,and you have made this vedio......i m soooooo glade u understood what i wana ask n u made a whole 13 min vedio ❤❤❤❤,Thank u so much
Thanks I am in Uganda, I have learnt alot driving from you including manual transmission cars. Yeah I feel like I am one of the best driver for both manual and automatic transmission cars.
Today I was at a 4 way junction with lights. I was turning right but the oncoming traffic who were also turning right came 3/4 of the length of the entire yellow box and not half way. This gave me no opportunity to turn right before the oncoming traffic because by the time I attempted to reach the centre, I was blocked by a big Merc flashing it's lights. He then signalled me to go to the right hand side of his flow of traffic, (as the highway code suggests, but as you mentioned is a bad idea). This then left a standing line of traffic for me to get through in order to turn right, even if I crept forward, I physically could not see the traffic going straight. So I pulled out slowly but even then, the oncoming car was forced to slam on the brakes, and I had no choice but to boot it to take my opportunity to turn right. The initial confusion over the oncoming turning right traffic led the traffic to stand still which in turn led to a dangerous crawling and peeking situation at a completely blind spot. I felt terrible about this as I'm on a provisional license and it really knocked my confidence. But this video shows me that regardless of the highway code, traffic turning right at junctions should always wait at the middle and not veer over to the left thus blocking the turning right lane of opposite direction traffic who are also turning right, (me). Thanks for the informative video.
The only fault I got on my first attempt is this one. I didn’t remember to wait inside the box junction…your video is so loud and clear and I regretted not seeing it earlier 😂
I found this kind of easy. I just think of it as crossing the road as a very speedy pedestrian lol. The hard part is the maneuvering (Gear shifting) and positioning imo. (Apologies on leaving so many comments on your older videos, but they give me confidence in my own driving so I really like watching these.)
Yoooooooooooooo bro ,Richard been missing ur videos, here busy in my studies, love from Uganda east Africa 🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬
Brill video, very clear about turning right safely. I am not too clever in turning right, my steering is not so good, I feel I am faffing about, I need more practice I think.
I find most of your videos extremely helpful, thank you, but I just wanted to say that at almost all of the traffic light controlled junctions around where I drive in Tottenham and Wood Green in North London you are supposed to turn offside/offside rather than nearside/nearside as you show in this video. If I tried to turn nearside/nearside ie in front of other oncoming vehicles turning right I would cause a lot of problems! So my point is that some areas are obviously quite different to others in this regard.
I've not driven around there, that's interesting as I've not really come across places where people are using crossroads offside to offside and I drive around a lot of the country. Definitely do what is the norm for the junction.
That's very useful, but I just wanted to see a turning right from two lines on traffic lights. For example when we on first line we have to go to in first line ahead.
In Europe you turn AFTER oncoming vehicle which also is turning same way from opposite direction so you can see other oncoming cars, otherwise if you both stop you both blocking each other from seeing full traffic. So any words you pass other car to leave him behind and only concentrate on other following cars. This applies to larger roads with waiting area on narrow roads with small traffic you can make it in a front of each other Driving on the other side doesn't really matter as turning left is a same as turning right over here etc. Obviously sometimes you have guide lanes to follow to avoid confusion especially on larger few lanes roads.
Offside to offside is sometimes the best option depending on road markings and the structure and layout of the junction it’s safe if done correctly as your view isn’t obstructed
I'm yet to use a junction where people are doing offside to offside. It would take a lot of initiative for the second car to leave space (assuming it's a queue of traffic).
Maybe do the whole thing again at rush hour…when other motorists are blocking exits…also turning into streets with parked cars down both sides of the road… allowing only room for single car…and when there are pedestrians crossing at junctions… and randomly walking into the road. Then a bit closer to reality…
Thank you. Somewhere I would really like to drive is North Norway like Harry did in his Rolls Royce on Harry's Garage. There is a place called Hell which sounds like a place worth visiting in your life 😂
@@Jamesdanielfitness Haha, I was saying there is a place in Norway called Hell. I never said Australia is hell, although driving across the Nullarbor plain could be close.
I'll like you to talk about the positioning of the front and back wheels when making a steep turn. I feel the back wheel and front wheels are not evenly positioned when making a steep junction
Hi, Thanks for this video. So we are allowed to enter the hatch markings when you turn right? I was told by a really good driver, he had his license since 18, and now he’s 50😂, and he said to avoid the hatch marking when turning right, minute 6:29 of this video, this is what I am referring too. Thanks
On a signal junction, I positioned myself in the middle waiting for oncoming traffic to clear. In few seconds the light turned Amber & then red, after which I cleared the junction & completed the right turn. However, while waiting in the middle i did notice signal camera flashing & taking pictures. Please let me know why that would happen. It’s really stressful as I have had my full license for only 2 months.
Hi thanks for the video. I have a little question, what if I am in the cross junction wanted to turn right, I stuck in the middle, and the pedestrian crossing light (the lane I needed to turn into) becomes green?
Hey Richard. I love your videos, so thanks! I have moved to the UK from North America. I got my license in Ontario, Canada, but have also lived and driven in the US. As a new driver to the UK, I have a couple of questions regarding turning right. 1. I was always taught when turning left (right in the UK) that you should not turn your wheels whilst waiting for oncoming traffic. The reason for this is that if someone hits you from behind a minor incident can become a head-on collision if you are pushed into oncoming traffic. You don't discuss this in your video, although your diagrams do show the car turning right has turned their wheels. I have also seen other videos where UK instructors tell their student to turn their wheels. What is your opinion on this and why? 2. In Ontario it is illegal to turn into any lane except the lane you are coming from. For example, to take the UK equivalent, if I am turning right into 3 lanes from the right hand lane, I would get a ticket in Canada if I turned into other than the far right lane. I could then change lanes once I have safely turned if I need to be in a different lane. The main reason for this is to allow those turning right (left in the UK) from the opposite direction to turn at the same time into their lane with no chance of collisions. It appears that the guidance in the UK is completely different. Could you please clarify the rules in the UK and the reasoning? Thanks again!!!
It is better to wait with your wheel straight, I generally do this myself but not always. Depends now difficult the turn it. I'm not quite sure about question 2, but you can change lane whenever you like as long as it's legal and currently safe.
@@ConquerDriving Thanks! I ask about which lane to turn into because I have seen videos of mock tests from other instructors who have given advisories or faults if the driver did not turn right into the far left lane. That made me think it was a rule!
Hi Richard! When turning right to join a very busy major road from a minor, can I first go to the chevron with broken lines and wait for a chance to join the traffic going right? Thank you
What in case if I have green light on that weird junction yeah. Everyone else have red light. As I approach the first 2 cars still stationary, then is junction I want to right turn in with yellow box but only on right lane and there is a car behind the box. When I was getting by the first 2 cars they were still stationary but as soon as I started running right the car behind yellow box started moving forward from stationary and crushed into me. My question is there was no way for me to know if their light change to green as it was behind my back. at the moment when I started turning cars were still stationery waiting.should she let me finish my junction or is it my fault? The thing is also There was a yellow box so should she go into it even though car in front of box even if started moving a split second after I passed him by didn't clear it completly
how to deal with drivers who flash lights(they are giving you a way to proceed) while you are waiting to turn right . what observation / mirror do you need to check before you make your turn.
Take your time, you can proceed as long as you think it's safe but don't rush because someone flashes their lights. Check the relevant mirrors for the direction you're about to turn if you feel you need to but mostly look where you're going.
At 8:32 I don't see a problem with entering a yellow box junction waiting to turn right, even if the road on the right is congested; otherwise you will never make progress and you will be holding up traffic behind you!
Not to sure who has the right to move through, is it the driver on the left or the driver on your right? I live in a county with same orientation or driver and car ie right hand car
I'd probably come back to rewatch this, I sill struggle with being on the right lane when I need to turn and I end up frantically changing lanes to get o the slip road
I have a question. I've noticed at some junctions the right lane is only for turning right and the left lane is both for turning left and going straight, however on other hand, there are junctions where the right lane is both for turning right and going straight and the left is only for turning left. Sometimes you can't see the road markings as the traffic is on them. I'm asking if there's a hint or good rule of thumb at such junctions as to which lane to take when going straight? I know it's easier when turning right or left. I'm new in the UK and find junctions very confusing when going through straight.
Sometimes there is a sign to warn you but not always. Most are left lane for ahead but unfortunately poor road signs and markings are a big problem on the UK's roads.
Hello Richard, I have learnt a lot from your videos, and first of all a big thank you. I am a novice driver, and a couple of weeks ago while I was driving on a main road, a car suddenly turned right from a minor road and almost hit me head on, if I hadn't braked at all. I was lucky because the car behind me wasn't too fast or it would have bumped into my car. I would like to know what can I do in the future to avoid getting a collision with drivers who suddenly emerge from a minor road? I am writing from Auckland, New Zealand. Thank you very much😊
If you covered it and I skipped it, sorry.... Turning right from an intersection onto a two lane road (carriageway?) Folks in the uk seem to turn into the left lane more often, which means that less folk waiting to turn are able to do so. Growing up in Canada if we turned left in similar then we would turn into the left lane which meant drivers turning right knew they were safe to turn into the right lane. If I have confused my lefts and rights I'm sorry 😅 but wtf? Why the need to make wide turns and not allow others to safely turn when it's entirely possible to do so?
My advice is to be careful, pausing before the junction to seeing what the oncoming car is doing will allow you time to make a good decision at cross roads.
how I am supposed to know if a junction has a turn right traffic light or can I just go right when the light turns green anyway? It's hard to see what extra signal is below if they aren't lit up and I don't know If I am allowed to turn right or not.
Thanks for the video! Quick question: Are you allowed to sit on a cushion during your driving tests? I will be taking the practical test in my own car and I find it more comfortable to sit on a cushion when I am driving. Cheers!
I’m decently confident at driving and just been waiting for a test for ages. But I just enjoy watching these videos
I passed my theory and test first time and i know for a fact that it was videos that made it so i could pass. You should also watch as many mock tests as you can.
I watched these videos for my driving test in Sweden and everything seems to more or less apply over here too.

Thank you for the good videos Richard!
I'm very happy to hear that, thank you.
Congs my dear love from Uganda east Africa 🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬
Didn't expect to see you here ;)
1:47 were to wait (when the middle line is in line with mirror)
3:12 If you are turning right on our road do not go near the middle as there isn’t enough space
3:35 turning on a bend(bring the car to near stop and go into gear one as it’s safer)
3:55 waiting areas, don’t ever go to the end
5:05 if your turn to early and finish on the right it’s a serious fault
Always look right when turning right
6:55 turning right with right filter light and traffic light without filter lights
When turning right, If you have a green light then the traffic across probably also has a green light
8:17 yellow box junctions, Only use when you’re turning right and your exit is clear
10:33 turning right at smaller crossroads, go offside to offside as it’s too small for nearside and you’ll end up on the wrong side of the road
WAIT BEFORE THE CROSSROADS IN THIS CASE
11:24 GIVE WAY LINE
Been watching these videos for the past 3 months, passed my test today.

That's very useful, but I just wanted to see a turning right from two lines on traffic lights. For example when we on first line we have to go to in first line ahead.
My question has been answered.
In Europe you turn AFTER oncoming vehicle which also is turning same way from opposite direction so you can see other oncoming cars, otherwise if you both stop you both blocking each other from seeing full traffic. So any words you pass other car to leave him behind and only concentrate on other following cars.

Thank you. Somewhere I would really like to drive is North Norway like Harry did in his Rolls Royce on Harry's Garage. There is a place called Hell which sounds like a place worth visiting in your life 😂
@@ConquerDriving Australia is not hell!!! But I wouldn't like to drive in the outback at night though
@@Jamesdanielfitness Haha, I was saying there is a place in Norway called Hell. I never said Australia is hell, although driving across the Nullarbor plain could be close.
@@ConquerDriving Ah haha sorry mate I misread it, but you've got to try Aus and NZ they're my dream places to go to!!!
Good Info.
Test this afternoon wish me luck 🙏🏾
Good luck 🤞I hope it goes well!
Very helpful video.
Thank you very much sir
Thank you for this. Great content
Really good explanation, thank you!
Your vids are awsome. Thank you 😊.
I'll like you to talk about the positioning of the front and back wheels when making a steep turn. I feel the back wheel and front wheels are not evenly positioned when making a steep junction
太有帮助了，非常感谢！❤❤❤
Thank you
Thanks 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
So why are the waiting areas designed so they extend beyond the junction?
That is the question. If someone knows, let me know.

1:30 - where to wait when turning at a junction (with oncoming cars)
9:04 - waiting at the middle of a junction (yellow box)
Thank you so much!
Hi,
Thanks for this video. So we are allowed to enter the hatch markings when you turn right? I was told by a really good driver, he had his license since 18, and now he’s 50😂, and he said to avoid the hatch marking when turning right, minute 6:29 of this video, this is what I am referring too. Thanks
Refer to rules 127 - 130 of the highway code.
On a signal junction, I positioned myself in the middle waiting for oncoming traffic to clear.
In few seconds the light turned Amber & then red, after which I cleared the junction & completed the right turn.
However, while waiting in the middle i did notice signal camera flashing & taking pictures.
Please let me know why that would happen. It’s really stressful as I have had my full license for only 2 months.
Hi thanks for the video. I have a little question, what if I am in the cross junction wanted to turn right, I stuck in the middle, and the pedestrian crossing light (the lane I needed to turn into) becomes green?
I have a question &6:35. When you are about to turn right, you drive on or into the hatch marking area, is it allowed in driving test?
thank you, its very useful
How stop the stalling when right turn does coasting helps. I have seen some driving test video
Hey Richard. I love your videos, so thanks! I have moved to the UK from North America. I got my license in Ontario, Canada, but have also lived and driven in the US. As a new driver to the UK, I have a couple of questions regarding turning right.
1. I was always taught when turning left (right in the UK) that you should not turn your wheels whilst waiting for oncoming traffic. The reason for this is that if someone hits you from behind a minor incident can become a head-on collision if you are pushed into oncoming traffic. You don't discuss this in your video, although your diagrams do show the car turning right has turned their wheels. I have also seen other videos where UK instructors tell their student to turn their wheels. What is your opinion on this and why?
2. In Ontario it is illegal to turn into any lane except the lane you are coming from. For example, to take the UK equivalent, if I am turning right into 3 lanes from the right hand lane, I would get a ticket in Canada if I turned into other than the far right lane. I could then change lanes once I have safely turned if I need to be in a different lane. The main reason for this is to allow those turning right (left in the UK) from the opposite direction to turn at the same time into their lane with no chance of collisions. It appears that the guidance in the UK is completely different. Could you please clarify the rules in the UK and the reasoning?
Thanks again!!!
It is better to wait with your wheel straight, I generally do this myself but not always. Depends now difficult the turn it. I'm not quite sure about question 2, but you can change lane whenever you like as long as it's legal and currently safe.
@@ConquerDriving Thanks! I ask about which lane to turn into because I have seen videos of mock tests from other instructors who have given advisories or faults if the driver did not turn right into the far left lane. That made me think it was a rule!
Hi Richard! When turning right to join a very busy major road from a minor, can I first go to the chevron with broken lines and wait for a chance to join the traffic going right? Thank you
What in case if I have green light on that weird junction yeah. Everyone else have red light. As I approach the first 2 cars still stationary, then is junction I want to right turn in with yellow box but only on right lane and there is a car behind the box. When I was getting by the first 2 cars they were still stationary but as soon as I started running right the car behind yellow box started moving forward from stationary and crushed into me. My question is there was no way for me to know if their light change to green as it was behind my back. at the moment when I started turning cars were still stationery waiting.should she let me finish my junction or is it my fault? The thing is also There was a yellow box so should she go into it even though car in front of box even if started moving a split second after I passed him by didn't clear it completly
But what is the point of positioning yourself slightly to the right while waiting to turn? What does that do?
Fantastic video thankyou 😃🚘👍xx
Thank you very much
how to deal with drivers who flash lights(they are giving you a way to proceed) while you are waiting to turn right . what observation / mirror do you need to check before you make your turn.
Take your time, you can proceed as long as you think it's safe but don't rush because someone flashes their lights. Check the relevant mirrors for the direction you're about to turn if you feel you need to but mostly look where you're going.
At 8:32 I don't see a problem with entering a yellow box junction waiting to turn right, even if the road on the right is congested; otherwise you will never make progress and you will be holding up traffic behind you!
Not to sure who has the right to move through, is it the driver on the left or the driver on your right? I live in a county with same orientation or driver and car ie right hand car
I'd probably come back to rewatch this, I sill struggle with being on the right lane when I need to turn and I end up frantically changing lanes to get o the slip road
10:41 Cracked me up
at the cross junction. if the other vehicle is turning left instead of right ir straight ahead, what do u do?
I have a question. I've noticed at some junctions the right lane is only for turning right and the left lane is both for turning left and going straight, however on other hand, there are junctions where the right lane is both for turning right and going straight and the left is only for turning left. Sometimes you can't see the road markings as the traffic is on them. I'm asking if there's a hint or good rule of thumb at such junctions as to which lane to take when going straight? I know it's easier when turning right or left.
I'm new in the UK and find junctions very confusing when going through straight.
Sometimes there is a sign to warn you but not always. Most are left lane for ahead but unfortunately poor road signs and markings are a big problem on the UK's roads.
Thank you!
Hello Richard, I have learnt a lot from your videos, and first of all a big thank you. I am a novice driver, and a couple of weeks ago while I was driving on a main road, a car suddenly turned right from a minor road and almost hit me head on, if I hadn't braked at all. I was lucky because the car behind me wasn't too fast or it would have bumped into my car. I would like to know what can I do in the future to avoid getting a collision with drivers who suddenly emerge from a minor road? I am writing from Auckland, New Zealand. Thank you very much😊
I'm sorry to hear that. There isn't a lot you can do but be slower when you can see junctions that will have a poor view for the car emerging.
If you covered it and I skipped it, sorry....
Turning right from an intersection onto a two lane road (carriageway?) Folks in the uk seem to turn into the left lane more often, which means that less folk waiting to turn are able to do so. Growing up in Canada if we turned left in similar then we would turn into the left lane which meant drivers turning right knew they were safe to turn into the right lane. If I have confused my lefts and rights I'm sorry 😅 but wtf? Why the need to make wide turns and not allow others to safely turn when it's entirely possible to do so?
Will you make a video on driving at higher speeds/ on express way? And thanks for another great video.
Thank you, I may do in the future, this video may help: ua-cam.com/video/pfJi9EA05_Y/v-deo.html
I'm very confused, I've just started, but I can hardly understand a little. Why do we have ofside to offside in some cases?
My advice is to be careful, pausing before the junction to seeing what the oncoming car is doing will allow you time to make a good decision at cross roads.
how I am supposed to know if a junction has a turn right traffic light or can I just go right when the light turns green anyway? It's hard to see what extra signal is below if they aren't lit up and I don't know If I am allowed to turn right or not.

Thanks for the video! Quick question: Are you allowed to sit on a cushion during your driving tests? I will be taking the practical test in my own car and I find it more comfortable to sit on a cushion when I am driving. Cheers!
Yes you can. As long as you are stable.
@@ConquerDriving Thanks!
