Changing Lanes Safely | Learn to drive: Basic skills

We will often need to change lanes whilst driving - for example when passing parked cars, or when overtaking. To do this safely we will need to judge the speed and position of other traffic, as well as keeping good control of our car. This can be more difficult when driving in heavy traffic or unfamiliar roads, as we will have less time to make a safe decision. This video will show how we make sure our lane changes are always safe, and what we do if we get stuck in the wrong lane. As always, if you have any questions about this video, please comment below and we will do our best to reply.

Great how the blind spot is explained and how the vehicle disappeared and why checking it is so important for safety, gives much more meaning to checking the blind spot

I just came across this video now but just wanted to say, this is by far one of the BEST instructional driving videos I have ever seen...and I have watched many. I am extremely impressed at how thorough you have been in covering this topic and you have covered every detail, including the all important shoulder check of blind spot, something that incrediblly is not always even taught. You also mention when to move back into Lane 1 again, something that so many drivers do too early and too close the the vehicle they have overtaken. Anyhow, a huge thumbs up to you for this!

My goodness....the blind spot illustration is scary....I0 seconds in the blind spot.{White car behind}

I had my driving test this morning and I passed! I kept on watching your videos and they really helped together with my practice sessions with my driving instructor. Thanks

Thanks guys for the great video. Shoulder check is crucial when changing lanes especially on dual carriage ways.

[cc-lyvm]

Omg. Thanks for showing that the blind spot mirror is not always reliable. Wow, shoulder check is a must!! So scary

[LorinaAdam]

I love the summary at the end. Thanks!!

Thank you for sharing an informative thorough video on this topic. I learnt the hard way about checking blind spots and still baffled and shocked as to why no instructor taught me that.

[rakeshkumarkannaujia]

I passed my test a while ago and struggle with other drivers overtaking me or driving so damn close to my car. Apart from driving on the motorways I always stick to the speed limits and remain in control it’s when I am on the motorway I drive at the national speed limits.

[firozeshaikh]

Thank you for this Video - I must say that this and all other videos that you've put on You Tube is the reason why I have passed my Test today - Thank you to the whole team and God Bless you all

[barryandcole]

All the Advance driving school videos are excellent

[meechndlovu]

Passed in March and struggle with changing lanes confidently 😭

[Spasticus]

Good advice on what to do if there's a car in the way when trying to change lanes to come off a roundabout.

[gigih]

I struggle a lot with changing lanes I don’t have that much confidence in it 🤦🏾‍♀️

[mmabasothopaakane]

I passed my driving test today massive thanks.

It's amazing to be able to relate to these videos as i live in Bury St Edmunds and walk, Cycle and practice driving in all the areas in all your videos,
I have found each and every video very informative but this one in particular as i did have questions about this but haven't had a driving instructor explain it as well as you have
