Turning Right at Junctions - Major to Minor and Crossroads

In this video I explain the dangers of turning right and demonstrate many different right turn scenarios when crossing the path of oncoming cars. This video focuses on turning from a major road to a minor road and where and when to wait at crossroads. Emerging from a minor road will be a explained in a different video.

I’m decently confident at driving and just been waiting for a test for ages. But I just enjoy watching these videos

I watched these videos for my driving test in Sweden and everything seems to more or less apply over here too. You were one of the biggest reasons I passed my test and are also responsible for me learning clutch control properly. I had the problem where the car that I drove in my driving school would move off without gas (even on steep hills), so you can imagine my shock when my little 19 year old 1.6 L Golf would stall everytime I wanted to move off.

I passed my test almost a year ago and I've kept watching since then mostly for entertainment, but I guess It's also good to get a refresher every once in a while.

Thank you for the good videos Richard!

When I started out with a manual, I was always worried that I was making these kinds of turns too slowly, which only made things more difficult as I tried to race trough the gears. But then I had an opportunity to drive an automatic again, and I realized my starts had always been nice and easy, there's no reason to mash the throttle, and that most of my problems driving a manual just stemmed from anxiety.

Been watching these videos for the past 3 months, passed my test today.

1:47 were to wait (when the middle line is in line with mirror)

3:12 If you are turning right on our road do not go near the middle as there isn’t enough space

3:35 turning on a bend(bring the car to near stop and go into gear one as it’s safer)

3:55 waiting areas, don’t ever go to the end

5:05 if your turn to early and finish on the right it’s a serious fault
Always look right when turning right

6:55 turning right with right filter light and traffic light without filter lights
When turning right, If you have a green light then the traffic across probably also has a green light

8:17 yellow box junctions, Only use when you’re turning right and your exit is clear

10:33 turning right at smaller crossroads, go offside to offside as it’s too small for nearside and you’ll end up on the wrong side of the road
WAIT BEFORE THE CROSSROADS IN THIS CASE

11:24 GIVE WAY LINE

Great help for a foreigner who wants to drive a bit outside of London! It is very useful to see videos of UK roads and get used to seeing the left-side traffic :) thanks!

Thanks Conquer Driving. I was able to learn most of my manual theory through your channel when upgrading from my automatic license. Definitely the best resource on driving in my opinion with your ability to connect and relate to your viewers and your obvious passion about cars and driving. I passed my manual test on the second attempt and will keep learning and improving from you channel and the road. 🥰

Hey, yesterday (the 22/02) I had my test and succeeded on first try! Just wanted to say thank you so much, your videos helped me a whole lot and I think I really wouln't've passed without you. Will surely continue watching your videos, I have much to learn. You're amazing, hope you're doing well.

Hi Richard. Im from the Philippines and I have been binge watching your videos for the past 2 months and I can say I went from zero driving experience to being very confident on the street with a manual petrol car. The most important things that I have learned from you is gas first before clutch release and using handbrake for uphill starts. From there, my life changed. So many things still to learn. I don't know how to give back to you but subscribing is the least that I can do. Keep doing what you are doing and again, a big thanks!

[robinson]

Passed my test yesterday. Your videos has been of great help through out my learning. Really boosted my skills and confidence. Thank you. From Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪

[wickedadonis]

Thank you so much for your awesome videos! I passed my driving test in the third attempt today and I wanted to record my sincere appreciation of your quality videos and teachings that have shared, which has immensely helped me to correct my driving techniques.

[jloo]

Best channel ever. Thank you for I am more confident at driving after watching your videos. Thanks a million

[peterg]

You deserve millions of subscribers, best Driving videos!

[Duncan]

Great video. I've actually been driving for around 5 years but had a bad experience just after passing my test when turning right at a crossroads - sometimes I like to have a search to see what the professionals say (specifically to do with turning nearside to nearside or offside to offside). It's all about continuous improvement and learning to drive certainly doesn't stop after passing your test!

[inokadossanayake]

God bless you for this video. I was so confused about crossroads earlier... but not anymore... thank you millions...!!!

[cameliahurmuz]

I am learning so much from you. I am doing now the driving school and all your videos are really helpful 🙏🏻

[jamalafzalkhan]

You know what this what i asked for, and you have made this m glade u understood what i wana ask n u made a whole 13 min vedio ❤❤❤❤, Thank u so much

[phonesfaq]

This was very helpful. Failed first time due to not waiting for green arrow for the right turn facing oncoming car. Didn't understand the difference between right turn at traffic light. Now, I do, if no green arrow, then oncoming cars are moving as well, so have to wait.
Also used to stop for seconds before turning right even if no oncoming car. Now, I understand I don't need to and I understand when to start steering and looking into the right side of the road. Very helpful. Thanks

[MrAniruddhajog]

What a fantastic piece of advice.
I think I’m going to continue watching these videos till my test.

[louischapman]

Had about 12 hours of driving lessons done before this lockdown waiting to get back on the roads. your videos are helping me remember everything I have learnt thank you
