I like how this guy puts a joke here and there, makes the learning more relaxing, too serious is no good

[jtm]

I knew how to drive before ever getting into the driver seat because of this man.

This guy is a great teacher. All of his videos are awesome.

I just passed a few hours ago.

I can't thank you enough for the help and information you give to learners.

It's funny that I'm still watching your videos a year after passing my test. You have such a good screen presence. It would be great to see you do more car reviews and videos in other genres

10:41 he was really flexing with the steering 😂😂😂

As an instructor in the Netherlands i like watching these videos. Ofcourse i already know most of this stuff but i do learn new ways of explaining things to my students!

[tobyntoby]

The dinner plate exercise is certainly one of the best tips I have ever heard about learning how to steer a vehicle!

Also, the amount of details you go into about the negative effects of getting your arms over the air bags is unmatched. Most of the time driving instructors would simply tell you to do this or that, or don't do this or don't do that without actually telling you the reason why. Not very helpful, and perhaps even confusing to learners. Now I know why the push and pull is considered the best method of steering thanks to you. Much appreciated!

There are thousands or maybe even millions of supposedly experienced drivers that would really benefit from watching this. Especially SUV drivers who can't drive them.

Dude I just started my class last week and I'm struggling with steering balance! Thank you so much for this video!

[elonmusk]

My driving instructor doesn't even explain anything and scolds me when i make a mistake. Like first tell me how.

[nadinjadoo]

Thank you so much for this ✨ my driving instructor was basically shouting “fast steering” like I know what’s that supposed to mean. The way you explained feeding the wheel through made so much sense 💖

[FalseGify]

Dude. I was thinking “man I gotta order a fake steering wheel” then you busted out the dinner plate I was like Bingo

[rachelg]

The person who disliked this can’t steer

[hulem]

I love this guy because he knows and teaches all the meaningful ways of driving, even if he doesn't personally use it.
Most driving teachers in my country, or even our parents, force us to drive the way they like to, even if it's an outdated method.

[fenrr]

Honestly, don't know why you're the only person I've come across who recommends the 9 3 position, or even slightly lower. From the moment I touched a wheel it felt like the most comfortable position, 10 2 is noticeably more of a strain imo

Going to have my first driving lesson this Friday. I am not at all familiar with cars and I'm really nervous. Making my way through his videos and they are making me feel a lot more comfortable.

[dalia]

If I pass my driving test I'm buying this dude a chocolate

[rahusphere]

If Sheldon Cooper were a driving instructor then he would sound something like this guy. Great videos!

[akgo]

This guy is a great teacher. No bs. Just straight teaching and a few jokes here and there
