- Driving lesson number 4 with Kaillah.
Worked on fine tuning, the skills and abilities
that she needed for her driver's test.
Unfortunately, she could have used a few more lessons
and she wasn't feeling that confident,
but we pushed ahead and worked to get her ready
for her driving test the next day.
Stick around we'll be right back with that information.
(upbeat music)
Okay, so on this you're going to have to move out.
So mirror, signal, shoulder check,
make sure you signal.
Move over the line there, not too far.
Mirror, signal, shoulder check back.
When you turn your head, you just got to turn 90 degrees.
You don't have to look out the back.
- Okay. - Just 90 degrees.
Okay, turn right here.
Nice and slow.
- Sorry?
- You crowd pedestrians like that,
that's an automatic fail.
Pedestrians you need to give them lots of room.
- So if there was a pedestrian there, I'm going to?
- You're going to stay over that lane.
- Are we going straight here? - Yes.
- Okay.
Pedestrians are vulnerable road users.
They're like cyclists.
You got to give them at least half a lane of space.
- Okay.
- Like I said the other day,
if you're not sure about what to do, just stop.
Okay?
Go right here.
And we'll go right into the next street again.
- Okay.
- Right here. Right here.
You're going to have to breathe.
- And then if he's far- - He's far enough away.
Just on your test,
you're going to have to breathe
and just listen to the instructions
that they give you. Okay.
We'll turn left.
And then these residential streets like this,
you don't necessarily have to do 50, okay?
You can do a little bit less. - Okay.
- This video is made possible by the course package,
Pass your driver's test first time,
because we know that your driver's test
is the most stressful day of your life.
And without some form of driver training,
your chances of passing are less than 50%.
As a bonus, we'll include both the defensive
and winter driving smart courses.
These will make you a safer, smarter driver
and reduce your chances of being involved in an accident.
Click down in the description there and get full details.
We're going to do the same exercise again.
We're going to back down this alley again.
- Okay.
- Easy, easy.
Your front end is going that way, remember.
Turn your steering wheel the other way. Stop.
Turn your steering wheel the other way
to get the front end to go that way.
There you go.
Now, turn your steering wheel back straight.
There you go.
Yes.
Slow down. Slow down.
Pause and look forward. Are you good?
- I need to be...
- You need to come a little bit this way,
but you're otherwise you're good.
Slow down, slow down.
Now, what side of the road are you on?
You're more or less center but you're a little bit this way.
- Oh a little bit this way?
- Yeah, you could go back that way a little bit
to get back in the center.
(upbeat music)
Nice. Very nice.
Okay, don't let go of the steering wheel like that,
all right?
Keep your palms in contact the wheel at all times. Okay.
Slow down there's so many cars.
You got to pick a gap.
Turn your other signal on.
Turn your left signal on. - Left.
- Yeah, 'cause you're coming to the left.
- I'm moving to the left?
- No, so you're going right and then you're moving-
- Oh. Oh okay.
So it's one of those quick things where you come around,
you're making a right,
but then you're moving left into the lane.
- Okay.
- You're going to have to change lanes to the left.
No, don't slow down. Don't slow down.
Get your foot on the throttle. - Okay.
There's a car coming.
- You're slowing down.
Okay. You cannot slow down on your lane changes.
- Okay.
- Got it. Hold the speed.
No, we're going straight. - Oh, straight.
Sorry.
- Remember, when you turn left on a multilane
you have to move back over to the right lane
after turning left without being told.
They're not going to tell you that.
- So, when you turn left, you have the move
to the right lane- - Yeah, to the right lane.
- Back to the right lane. - Yes.
We're going to turn right at this intersection.
But if you turn right, you can just stay
unless you're turning left?
- Yes. You always have to drive in the right lane.
That's basically what you're doing, right?
- We're turning right here? - Yes.
So know that when they're signaling
and they're turning in front of you,
they're going to slow down. - Okay.
- 'Cause they're slowing down to make the turn.
So that means that you got to slow down too
otherwise, you're going to run up right up on them.
Almost everything that you do when you're driving
is reading and responding to what's happening
in the driving environment.
You have to react what other people are doing.
- Okay.
- What other drivers, cyclists, pedestrians,
people on scooters.
Bumped that line, that's five points.
- What line?
- That white line right there.
- Oh, I did? - Yeah.
Five points.
So you got to stay centered in your lane.
So you don't bump the lines because you want to try
and minimize the number of demerits you get.
So when you're wandering,
when you move left to right in your lane,
- Yeah.
- That's five points, every time you do that.
You got to try and stay as centered as you can.
- If there's a cyclist like that.
- Your signal, shoulder check, not to touch over.
Get off the brake, get off the brake.
You can't slow down when you're reacting to that.
You just need to move over a couple of feet all right?
And then move back.
- I think I get tense, that's why I'm slowing down.
I have to like rock this.
- I think you've got a really good shot at it.
- Sorry?
- I think you've got a good shot at it.
Just focus in on for that.
Remember it's only 20 minutes, half an hour.
It's not like this where it's a whole lot.
It's very short period of time.
So just focus, and like I said,
if you're unsure, just stop.
Okay?
- But aren't you like,
you're not allowed to stop on the highway, right?
- Well, preferably not, but I mean,
if you've got a traffic situation, so say for example,
you come up to an intersection
and the light's about to turn yellow
and there's a car turning left
and you're not quite sure what to do.
- Just stop. - Just stop.
Just stop. Okay.
Cause you know, there's just too much stuff going on.
And the mistake oftentimes with new drivers
is that they'll just bulldoze ahead. Right.
And there's too much other stuff going on
and that's when they fail their test.
If you're unsure, just stop.
- Okay. - Okay. But you know, try.
If you can go for another drive this afternoon
and maybe work on lane changes and not slowing down,
just keeping your speed, your signal, shoulder check,
and got a gap and then speed up a little bit
as you're moving across
because you don't want to slow down. Okay.
And just focus on keeping it like in town,
you're quite good at keeping the vehicle centered
in the lanes and those types of things. Right.
But kind of on this road here,
you're bumping the lines all the time.
- When you're going fast and then...
- Yeah.
And so maybe, you know, just work on lane changes,
maybe go through the roundabouts a couple more times.
- All right.
- If you can get another drive in this afternoon,
that would be really good.
The thought of failing your driver's test
is what keeps you up at night right now.
