Meeting Oncoming Traffic | Learn to drive: Intermediate skills

When driving in a built-up area we will often find obstacles in our path that we will need to steer around. This will usually involve driving on the other side of the road - but we must ensure that we do not obstruct oncoming traffic that is driving towards us. This is called ‘meeting traffic’ and in this video, we will show how to handle this situation safely by using good anticipation and planning skills.

The visual effects in this video are absolutely stunning you really feel as you are practically driving the vehicle yourself. What more could anyone wish for in a driving tutorial.

Thanks for these videos. Find them so useful. I have only had 6 lessons, but already met oncoming traffic, find it scary first time I did it but I am finding the more you do it, the more you get used to it, thats the same with everything. Its all practice and knowing what to do and when. It takes time. There is so much to remember from theory and applying to practice, everybody learns differently, different rates.. I seem to be good at steering but its everything else I struggle with. I am a anxious person anyway and at start of lessons I get anxiety, but my instructor just said dont worry and keep calm and do it gradually and it really helped calm my nerves for rest of lesson. I know in time it will be second nature. Partly I think I am still thinking inside the car as well as outside, when I start thinking outside more I will get better. I am finding its a skill in itself when to stop and when to go when meeting oncoming traffic

[donnabrothers]

Fantastic clip, this is one of the most knowledgeable clips I've watched (newly driving & have watched many)

Failed my exam serious fault for Clearance with 3 minors. Im gutted!😭 I wish i watched this video before my exam.Very well explained! Thank you😊

These roads cause anxiety. My instructor had to stop the car because I tried to squeeze through where there were double parked cars and an oncoming car. I'm normally on two wheels so i would usually get through! I've got to be really careful with this!

Your videos are so helpful because here in India the driver is on the right side too but i dont understand hindi. This is by far the best channel I've seen :) thank you

[mtipetmalinda]

Thanks alot! For your wonderful videos, has really changed my driving experience. Continue helping the millions out there.

[alexwells]

fantastic video, really liked the 'drivers eye view' sections, showing what you can see in the mirrors etc is a brilliant idea

in fact what would be really useful is a video on how to tell if its safe changing lanes - showing this drivers eye view & mirrors to see when its safe & when its not

thank you for all the videos, they are really helpful

[nagzvevo]

An excellent video

Interpreting what a driver may mean when he flashes his lights is always problematical.

As you say, it should only be an indication of one's presence. In the UK it can often be ambiguous: "I'm coming through" or " I'm letting YOU through"


In Thailand, where I now live it always means "I'm coming through". Obviously, that can't be assumed in other countries. Best to take it as an indication of presence only. It a good feature of driving here though as it's not ambiguous.

Apart from that, Thai drivers are not that reliable or skilled. 2nd highest road death rate in the world.
