Many people ask me how much they need to turn the steering wheel on bends and junctions. In this video I explain and demonstrate how you can judge how much steering to add and the common mistakes many new drivers make when trying to steer.

Here is a link to my video to judge the width of your car and lane placement:

    If I search for a driving issue and your video doesn't come up, I change my search and just search you cause your videos have been so helpful that I press like even before I start watching. I would take my driving lessons again if I could have you as my instructor. I'm a nervous driver and your videos helps. Thank you. Literally thank you so much. God bless you ❤

    I had my first driving lesson on Friday after watching some of your videos (at the age of 29) my instructor thought i was having him on when i went in so confident and knowing the controls and how to steer.. junctions this week! He mentioned that he was so surprised as he has some students who aren’t at my level after 5+ lessons. Your videos are absolutely invaluable; thankyou!!
  • @ChefMatt254
    I started driving practice a week ago and your advice has been so helpful. Keep it up man, your doing us all a favour, making driving safer, easier to understand and even more fun.
  • @deogettic
    Your lessons are priceless because they are addressing the real problems. You have really mastered the art of teaching people how to really drive. Many thank you
  • "Don't look where the car heads look where u going" this is very useful tip. Thanks
  • @luizagaman7364
    Thank you for this video, so helpful! Wish steering would have been explained like this in my lessons rather than having been criticised my steering isn't up to standard in the first and second lesson ... in the end I found my own way instinctively in the 4th lesson.
  • I've got a full driving and motorcycle licence but I just watch this cuz he's just so funny, very informative too. Regardless of how well you think you drive, you can always drive better
  • I just don't get how this channel doesn't have a million subscribers atleast. Some quality content here.👌 Just like ChrisFix of driving.
  • @SelyHaudy
    The xplanation on your demonstration starting at 7:00, regarding feels where your body heading to rather seeing where the car facing, really improve my driving. You did awesome job bro! 👍🏻
  • @mehless
    I appreciate that you mention your criticism of the Hazard Awareness test, that really has (unfortunately) trained me to identify problems like a hawk. The pen/paper exercise really opened my eyes to that.
  • I was actually doing quite a different mistake when turning right into a main road. I would literally come out of a junction in a straight line so far that then I would need to do a 90 degree turn in the middle of a new road to get myself towards the right 😂 My first 4-5 lessons were a nightmare with steering, I was avoiding the kerb like my life depended on it, always steering wide, or cutting corners, never straightening up in time, coming back home all sad and frustrated. And then around my 6-7th lesson something changed, I've started to look Into a new road when turning instead of a kerb, I've started to FEEL when I need to straighten up, so I think it came to me naturally with practice. I now had 10 hours of lessons, and my steering is more or less okay, I just still mess up sometimes on very tight junctions.

    I’m enjoying your videos. Been watching them and not skipping ads. Always learn a lot from you. Later, I’ll be at my 4th practice session. I’m 30+ and you give a lot of clarity and confidence when I drive.
  • @anbu9643
    Thank you for this video, my steering has been a nightmare these past 3 lessons I’ve had and also the positioning of my car, this has helped on what I should do and has also identified the mistakes I keep doing. Many thanks again!
  • Hi, I really like your videos and am really glad you made them! I love when you go into details when explaining, you make extra visual aids and comparisons. I have visually learned a bit more now, thanks to your channel. I’m currently learning on automatic and I appreciate when you add comments for automatic drive too. Amazingly clear to understand you and the situations you’re talking about. 🚗😁 Thank you so much !
