To stand on the bit between lanes, not caring what people think, just to make a video for learners is unbelievable. Much respect. Thank you so much for doing that.

[dylanhawley]

I cant believe you got out and filmed just to teach people you are adorable

[iCrusader]

Guys just passed my test with 0 minors. Instructor nearly died from shock 😂
Good luck to all of you guys!

Your videos are a blessing! I've held my license for over a year and I still benefit from your videos. You never stop learning.

[fairytaleviola]

This is just what I needed, I always hesitate, miss opportunities, screw up my lane position in the meanwhile and sometimes misjudge. And all that right before my test

[DannaGabriella]

Can I just say, hands down you are one of the best driving instructors I came across online. So many helpful tips, words of wisdom and encouragement from you. They are all so important especially when you’re a beginner. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I know I’m commenting on a 3 years old video, but it just goes to show that so many years laters I found them still very useful .

Just failed my first test straight out of the test centre because of a lapse in concentration at a roundabout! Rest of the drive was near perfect and the examiner told me that! Hard one to take definitely but trying to look forward. Good luck to anyone taking their test soon and learn to take the positives if you don’t quite pass 😀

[finnirving]

Passed my test last week - I hated my instructor but your videos really got me through it!! Thanks

[ElixirOfRivalry]

This has been a big help. I don’t trust people to indicate when they should so I sometimes miss safe opportunities to go because I worry that the person might be turning. Thanks for the clarification

[adelegiles]

This is by far the most useful video I have come across. I've infuriated a few instructors by not understanding what they are saying. I really needed someone to just show me like this. Makes perfect sense now! It can all be going too quick to fully understand when you're in the car

The anxiety I have about roundabouts being a new driver has kept me up at night. Thank you so much for your content, it really has helped SO much 🙏🏽💜

[soranunnainUK]

Hey Richard, roundabouts do freak me out after had some dangerous mistakes made hence I have been watching so many roundabout videos and this is the one! Very clever concept! you really are one level above the other video creators! thanks for all this free help!!! You are an amazing human being!!!!

[rvenkataraman]

I had my license 5 month and now I own a car but I can't stop watching your driving instructions. Every day I watch one of video and refresh my learning . These videos will never be old for me .great effort in bringing these videos ❤

I was a student when I was in Colchester some years ago and I never realised how confusing the roads were when I was there. However, I heard from friends and acquaintances who owned cars complain about how much they hated driving on roundabouts near the campus.

I am learning to drive in another part of the country at the moment and started looking at Richard's videos and demonstrations and I can truly say I completely agree with what my fellow classmates said about Colchester being a city-planning chaos as it has roundabout after roundabout, especially the road near the Greenstead Tesco, pure nightmare for learner driver, I could imagine.

Your videos have been helping me a lot in easing the anxiety that I have when it comes to driving. I wish I had an instructor like you who is so understanding of learner drivers' nerves.

Thanks bro and keep up the good work.

[ArnoldsKtm]

This is exactly what I needed.
The main problem is not being really confident with the exams car.

[arjuns]

Everything you showing is common things present in youtube videos. But the way you put in you video is making a big difference for learners like me... Keep going. Thanks a lot...

[Sajid-ffjp]

10:20 Damn those three roundabouts seem so complicated!!! Thank god I didn’t have that on my practical test last year!

[evangelinetanti]

I’d like to say a BIG THANK YOU for all the advice. I was really nervous but felt calm watching these videos and I passed today! Keep up the videos.

[andrewmashad]

From Ghana. Thanks for this. Keep on.

[crazyoncoffee]

I’ve held a driving’s license in the United States for five years, driving both auto and manual, and your videos are still useful for me. Driving isn’t just a skill you learn once and never improve on (like most think). We can constantly improve on this skill. Thanks for your content
