đźš— A quick steering demonstration

Here I’m manoeuvring very slowly on loose gravel.

Dry steering? Not a problem in a modern car. Avoid it when practical, but if it’s necessary, it’s fine.

Crossing your hands? Also fine. There’s no requirement to keep your hands fixed — what matters is that you maintain safe, smooth control of the car.

Notice the light grip on the wheel rather than gripping it tightly.

Simple message: stay relaxed, steer effectively and remain in control.

Everything that is wrong with our roads these days (attitude) i had a negative comment recently saying nothing happened (or thereabouys) I am a driving knstructor I am commenting from the point of what should be done, morally and legally not what people do!.

I often take a look a some of these nagative comments and see what nonsense they say etc, the only thing wrong wirh this video is the OP saying the car does it deliberately they wouldn't expect in that traffic a high speed filter, who would on the public road its completely irresponsible.

The dagerous driving here is in the throttle of the motorcyclist.

Why are so many people on social media triggered by the opinions of a driving instructor/driver trainer these days, I always post based on advice given in the highway code, driving essential skills and know how it looked since I was there and also how it compares on the camera, it literally did drive over where the pavement would be.

If you are looking to pass your driving test, train to be an instructor or pass an advanced driving test I can help, the typical commenter can not.

All we are doing is pulling over doing a parallel park in a 20 MPH village with tight roads and they just can't wait just a few seconds.

Here we have a genuine Swindon driving test route clip driven in 2026 by an actual Provisional Licence holder taking their test at the Swindon Driving Test Centre.

I then filmed the exact route driven with a POV head cam so you see exactly what the driver is looking at mirror checks, shoulder checks, and hazard scanning in real time you'll be able to see steering inputs,use of indicators and other signals, pedal work (clutch, brake, and gas) I include at many points commentrary.

Throughout the video I've added on-screen hints, tips, and advice as an experienced ADI (Approved Driving Instructor) — covering hazard perception, road positioning, junction awareness, and the small habits examiners are actually looking for.

Just read the new IAM RoadSmart magazine's interview with the roads minister, Lilian Greenwood, about the Government's new Road Safety Strategy. Some good stuff in there - a target to cut deaths and serious injuries by 65% by 2035, a "Safe System" approach that accepts people will make mistakes but says those mistakes shouldn't be fatal, and a real focus on motorcyclists, who make up just 1% of traffic but around 21% of those killed or seriously injured.

But here's my worry, and it's one that isn't really touched on in the article: the more "advanced" cars get, the more some drivers seem to switch off. More tech doesn't automatically make us safer - sometimes it just makes us complacent.

Sadly, someone local to me was killed recently in an ultra-modern car, and I heard an awful comment afterwards along the lines of "well it's a smart car, it should've protected them" - as if the tech makes the driver bulletproof. It doesn't. People are still fallible, whatever's under the bonnet.

We've been doing versions of this for years - trusting someone's indicator instead of watching what they're actually doing, assuming the car "knows" when really it's just assisting. Add in how little a lot of drivers actually know about the Highway Code, plus a fair bit of entitlement out there, and tech on its own isn't the fix.

The strategy does mention Graduated Driver Licensing style restrictions for young drivers, and personally I think that could genuinely help. I just doubt any government will properly commit to it - too easy to lose votes over "restricting" young people's freedom.

Training, knowledge, and attitude will always matter more than what's fitted to the dashboard.
