Limit Point Analysis | Driving Tutorial | LearnToDrive | DrivingLessons | Cannock | DrivingFast

Just because you can legally drive fast doesn’t always mean you should! This driving tutorial focuses on a way to accurately judge your speed and gear before entering a corner or bend. Used by Emergency Services and all Advanced Drivers, Limit Point Analysis will give you a method of keeping you much safer on rural roads, or anywhere where the limit of your vision is reduced!

Amazing video, as an emergency response driver I love it when people call it a “hump back bridge” it’s been deemed a northern thing. A lot of people don’t actually know it’s called a hump bridge

Great video. Well explained in an uncomplicated sort of way.

On a left hand bend the limit point is actually closer to you than it looks. That is because your vision is looking at where the two verges meet and that distance seen could include kerbs and verges or other greenery but is also includes a part of the road that is of no use to you as its on the other side of the mid line. Then if I remind you that the golden rule is 'always to drive at a speed so that you you can stop in the distance seen to be clear and ON YOUR SIDE OF THE ROAD, '. So that limit point of a left hand bend also includes some roadway etc. over that white line which you cannot use for stopping in. So as your limit point is now only to the the mid line, as far as you can see there may be some 20 or 40 ft. or more of further vision on the wrong side of the road.

So on left hand bends take that into account and dismiss that part of any road as being of no value. and slow accordingly. Maybe dropping some 5 to 10 mph depending on how much useless road there is visible on the other side of the road.

Nice one Paul. Good info & explanation. I know this is about limit points in the topographical sense, but it might be useful as an add to mention that the LP (the distance which we can to be clear and the need too be able to stop under control on the correct side of the road within that distance) also includes the rear of any vehicle in front. :)

Brilliant, explained that very clearly, thanks 😊

Big PS.we don't have to drive up to the speed limit of the road. That is a fallacy. Take your own speed, one that you are happy with and one that can keep up with traffic, providing a safer following distance at all times by applying the minimum of the 2 second rule ok. So often I see drivers and riders ride right up at the legal speed limit and all that happens is that they end up behind a slightly slower moving vehicle and what always happens then is a need to overtaking. Overtaking everything they come up behind. If they just slowed by a few mph they would not catch up with as many vehicles and therefore no need to overtake as often. We know overtaking is one of the most dangerous situations or manoeuvres on our roads today. Together with the taking of bends they are a big danger so do it right. If all traffic is doing 50 or 55 on a 60 speed limit you are just asking for trouble. More trouble that it is worth so slow down a little. take it easier. braking is easier, acceleration is reduced and it takes less distance to brake in. Wear and tear on your brakes, gears, tyres etc. is reduced and you mpg will increase.

You will also be a safer driver or rider.

do we have to check mirror before we slow down on the bend?
