Here is the most difficult intersection here in Mirabeka. A lot of people can't make a correct
judgment when the red arrow drops. So the white car should proceed in the middle. So further you
get in the middle the easier your decision will be. The square in the middle would be the point
where you can drive up to without crossing into the opposite side direction. Not the turning lane
direction but the opposite side direction. At the moment we've got a green light here
but soon it's going to drop. The silver car now should go in the middle so they opted to wait.
So okay, so further they get in the middle the easier the decision will be. See this guy's gonna
wait for the white van which is a correct decision and now see he was far enough to make a lot easier
decision because it's still green without an arrow. So the white car is going through because
there's no traffic. Now it's changing again. So further you go in the middle without crossing
into the opposite side you know the opposite direction lanes the easier your decision will be.
When it goes amber so this is where most people get petrified if they're not experienced such
as you know obviously learners who are going for the driving test. So when it goes
amber your primary focus should be on the cars coming from the opposite direction and you've
got to make sure that you can judge properly if they are slowing down or proceeding okay.
And now in this position, if you're still in the middle you would wait to see if the cars
from the opposite direction are proceeding or slowing down. So it's really an easy judgment
to understand if someone's picking up speed or slowing down to stop. So more times you do it the
easier it's going to become for sure. We're going to wait for another wave of the green light here.
Okay, so as you can see now it's gone green okay. So the white taxi uh after it goes red
will have priority over everyone else, so this is obviously the easiest way to do it.
Okay, the car on my left will be going forward they should be going forward after the
Audi goes through they can certainly proceed. See the the ute with the trailer is proceeding
through the yellow light because there is no one else there coming from the opposite direction.
So, watching this video will be helpful but it's definitely not going to be a substitute for you
to um uh you know to know how to do it without practising. So we'll see one more situation.
Okay, so now it's gone uh red we've got uh we've got a bike and a couple of cars now
the uh the car on my left should have gone in the middle. But this time they decided to wait.
So obviously, that's not something that we encourage we should really go in the middle
once this happens. But anyways, the best way is to try and do this as many times as you possibly can
with your supervisor and ensure that you can do it 10 out of 10 times properly. Don't risk attempting
to make your turn until you are 100 per cent sure that the vehicles from the opposite direction
if you've got an amber light, vehicles from the opposite direction are slowing down. Like
i said earlier it's very easy to judge but you got to make a little bit of extra effort you
know when you practice with your supervisors to go through it and obviously to go through
different situations and different types of intersections. This happens to be one of the
most difficult intersections in Perth which is the corner of uh Yirrigan Drive and Mirrabooka Avenue,
which is near the licensing centre here in Mirrabooka. Come down here,
particularly if you're doing your test in Mirrabooka. Practice as much as you possibly can.
Once again, if you're struggling making decision when you should proceed when you've got an ember
light and you are the first car lined up in the middle of the intersection, your primary
focus should be the opposite direction. You can easily judge whether the cars are still proceeding
or slowing down to stop. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video.
