My car is so small, and there are lots of blind spots, now I use your tips and feel more safe, thnx

[ignaciousmeki]

Thanks! Blind spots often taken for granted by drivers but they are prone to terrible accidents especially on high ways with faster moving cars than yours

This was so helpful to me as someone who is starting to drive again. I'm enjoying your videos as a refresher course, and especially loved the shade you gave the bus at the end. I'm all about safe driving, we need more Jacqueline instructors and drivers in NY. Thanks so much! :)
