I was very nervous about merging from slip roads on the run-up to my test, so the weekend before I went out to a reasonably busy dual carriageway near my house and stood on the footbridge for a while watching traffic merging. And I did feel a lot more confident after being able to observe how everything worked smoothly with a little bit of give and take but no horns, sudden manoeuvres or anything like that that I saw. It turns out that, contrary to my rather jaded and cynical view of humanity, the vast majority of drivers aren't assholes and are perfectly happy to help people merge ahead of them because that's how they would expect to be treated in turn. Result: on the actual test with my new-found confidence I knew exactly what to do: match speed, signal, aim for a gap, quick blind spot check and in you go. The other drivers politely let me in, job done.

Love how honest you are about the existence of annoying drivers who won’t drive properly😅😂

If theres a hogger doing 50 mph in lane 4 of a motorway surely you don't expect all other lanes to slow down to that speed. From the very moment a car is having engine trouble the driver should start indicating to head for the hard shoulder and not leave it until it's moving at walking pace.

That's correct, the law exists because people need to be able to leave and passing on the left prevents them from leaving. However just because someone is driving inappropriately or breaking the law won't excuse you for breaking the law. It's frustrating when people stick in the middle lane at 50mph I know. You need to go to the right lane to pass or if the police see you pass on the left you will likely get 3 points and a £100 fine unless it's in busy slow traffic.

@@ConquerDriving But you are breaking no law by passing on left in UK. There is nothing in the Highway Code or the RTA that states it's illegal. Again if there is a hogger in lane 4 doing 50 you wouldn't expect everybody wanting to pass (except trucks and buses) must move over to queue in lane 4. It if the hogger was in lane 3 lane then all of those in lanes 1,2 and 3 would have to move to 4 . All lanes moving into lane 4 is asking for a collision and a very high chance of that becoming fatal. Maybe you can point out to me where in law it disproves my point.

I recently got my license but then went away on holidays. I’ve driven alone only twice so far. Yesterday I watched this video and today I ventured onto the motorway by myself and survived. 😅Thank you so much for your excellent videos, you are inspirational.

I struggle with a bit of OCD and you mate have helped me more than you'll ever know when driving ,Thanks million for all your easy to understand knowledge

Had my first lesson today. Drove on the country roads, and then my instructor wanted me to head over to the dual carriageway... On my first lesson!!! It went smooth and we also drove into town and all the way home. I can't believe I did this on my first lesson. Must say he was a very calm and helpful instructor and that made me less nervous. 😬😀😅😶

Before emerging to the motorway,* Choose a car to go behind. * Mirror +side glance *Use speed-up lane; Thumb of rules on Motorway : Keep up speed and distance with the other car; do not undertake when moving to the left--you are forcing left car to the shoulder, back car to stop! Thank you so much for the clear explanations.

My two biggest gripes (I'm being polite!) on motorways are still the number of drivers who never move from the middle lane and the motorists who have no idea how to drive back on to the live lanes from being on the hard shoulder. They pull on to the live lane from almost a stationary start instead of building up speed on the hard shoulder and then joining the live lanes.

Thanks for this video, Richard. It's funny you say that most drivers do move over a lane to let you in. I had 15-20 in a row who didn't on my driving test earlier this week and my examiner failed me for hesitation. 50 mph speed limit on a two lane dual carriageway and heavy moving traffic, I had a very short slip road. No luck.

I wish videos like this were around when I was learning, but we didn't even have the internet in the early 1980s. It's encouraging to note that the way my driving has evolved over the decades matches the way you teach. When you drive around and give commentaries, that's close to what goes on inside my head (I won't mention the bad days!) :)

Not watched it yet. But did my first motorway drive recently after passing my test. Was good

Returning from Liverpool to Warrington along M62. For some reason, I exit the motorway earlier. Then, I stayed calm following the satnav back to M62 heading to M6. Finally, I was back home and only 10 minutes late. It's a good experience. I told myself it would go wrong sometimes, usually wrong exit and it's a part of your journey. But the most important thing is that you have to be cool, back to the correct route and enjoy the rest of your journey. Safe driving.

Getting ready for collecting my first car and will have to drive it home down the motorway - what you said about choosing a car to go behind is so helpful! I’ve never thought about it like that or heard that before but it makes it make so much more sense. Thanksb

Been driving for over a year. And had some old fart pullout on me at a slip road. I couldn’t change lane as I was focused on my lane position for the roundabout and checking the right lane was clear. Ended up having to quickly change into the right lane (that I checked) to avoid crashing. The traffic was busy and he was stopped but decided to pull out. Old people shouldn’t be driving. Always be aware of this. Before a slip road check your lanes and decide what you would do if someone pulls out. Which they did.

I remember when I first passed, I got in a bit of bother, two lorries were driving quite close to each other, which is intimidating enough in a hatchback, they were going too fast for me to get out in front and the slip road was very short, so I had slow right down which isnt fun when you need to merge at low speed. Luckily, the next chap behind the lorries could see what was going on, slowed right down, gave me a gap and flashed his lights for me to join. I thought about it for a while after as I wanted to know what I did wrong and learn from it, I matched the speed of the traffic, looked for a gap, but it wasn't there, not much else I could have done, the second lorry shouldn't have been driving so close to the other in my opinion.

This is a real problem that instructors don’t tell anything about. They think this situation doesn’t exist!! I had a similar experience with a lorry, I had to slow down hard and then join slowly after the lorry . The next car was far away , so didn’t had any problem with that.

Thanks mate. I have got confidence at second time I watched this video

Whoever is learning to drive, one thing you will see often, very annoying and highly dangerous is when some people will try to join dual carriageway/motorway by reaching maximum speed of 35-50mph, even though there is normal 70mph traffic on the main road. I am not talking about areas where the joining area is very small, but about proper long downhill slip roads.... Please always, try to match the speed of the cars on the main road, otherwise it becomes very dangerous for cars behind on the slip road, or for cars on main road. Thank you.

if only drivers in Australia understood your instructions about how to enter a freeway and merge with the flow of traffic we wouldn't have freeway carparks. In my city, we're only just getting "smart freeway" signage installed here (the variable speed zone signage, the large electronic noticeboard for traffic alerts and traffic lights at freeway on-ramps etc to pause incoming traffic, to mange the flow better.

Excellent video

The A34 Newbury bypass has really short slip roads. I would welcome how you deal with merging onto the road using these. There is not enough room to speed up to match that of the traffic so you're forced to either stop and wait for a gap or hope that cars in the inside lane move over to let you in. Obviously, stopping leads to the danger of being hit from behind.

@ConquerDriving

Жыл бұрын

With very short slip roads it can be normal to stop, but as they're short traffic on them isn't fast so it isn't such an issue.

I got failed twice with one serious, both times for joining an expressway. The first time I was driving exactly like you say in the video and got told I drove too fast (i was under the limit and joined without issue.) The second time I tried to be slower and more careful, still joined without issue, but got failed for going too slow. These exams are just a money making scheme.

If someone is in the middle lane and should be in the left lane, I will stay in the left lane. If I'm driving faster than they are that is not undertaking. Undertaking is when you're behind someone and you move to the lane left of them, drive past them and immediately move to the right again. This is very dangerous and I would have thought illegal. Many times I will drive faster in the left lane than drivers in the middle lane who are unaware of the keep to the left rule only moving into the middle lane to overtake. If there are many slower vehicles in the left lane then you stay in the middle lane until you've overtaken them. Then, when you have overtaken them you move to the left lane. The right lane isn't a "fast" lane , but purely for overtaking.

That seems absurd to me. I'd keep driving at 70 mph ( no faster of course) on the left lane.

Another great easy to understand video. I cannot understand why you don't get more likes. I have one question. I passed my test just over 40 years ago. My instructor told me, that you should start signalling to join a motorway or duel carriageway just as you pass the barrier at the bottom hill part of the slip road. Signalling is like asking permission to join the traffic. It annoys me when I see motorists leave their signalling till the last minute and barge in. Am I being to fussy or what?

@ConquerDriving

There is no set point for when you should signal but try to give everyone enough notice and if a signal is misleading it's best not to signal. Many people signal late or not at all but this is all part and parcel of driving and something we all deal with everyday. By the way, the signal is not asking for permission, it's supposed to state what you are doing. But yes, it does get used for asking and I personally have no problem with this but that's how it is.

Hi Richard and all drivers here... I have been following your channel for a while, and I am a bit confused about something. I am taking refresher classes with an instructor who's trained in defensive driver, pass plus and so on, and he insisted that I don't go more than 40-50mph on slip road because I won't be able to slow down in time if the other drivers don't let me in! I told him that I thought the aim of the slip road is to match the traffic that is already there... In this particular instance I saw a gap and I merged in at about 65mph without anybody braking or so (and without doing any crazy steering but entering in the lane gradually) but my instructor said my speed was too fast.. what speed are you meant to be on slip roads? I understand that if there's no space or if the traffic it's slower you shouldn't go faster or crash into them but this has left me with a bit of a bad mood the whole day cause I don't know what to do at the next class (we will be focusing on entering dual carriageways)... Any comment is welcome😢

this is what mine said and i said the exact same thing as you, the speed limit of the slip road unless otherwise stated is 70, its there so you can match the speed of traffic and slot in. doing 45 on the slip road, slotting in and then speeding up is wrong and quite frankly dangerous. my advice is to do what conquer driving said, use the slip road fully and speed to match (unless its slow traffic or whatnot. On your test do 55-60 to be on the “safe” side then speed up to 65/70. Depends on the examiner but our instructors are wrong lol. (when you pass keep doing it your way, its the correct way by the book!)

I have a question because I was always wondering what you do in the situation when your on the slip road (auxiliary ramp) trying to merge and the slip road is ending but you can't get over? What do you do? Stop? Keep going? I have no idea if you keep going and don't drive on the hard shoulder then you are just merging at the end of the slip road and just forcing your way on to the motorway. Any advice would be appreciated because it is one thing that I can't seem to get a clear awnser about and whenever I need to drive the motorway my first thought is 'I hope I can merge on safely'

@ConquerDriving

2 жыл бұрын

I hear you, it's a worry for new drivers but you should always be able to get over as people should make space. Aim for a space and don't stay next to lorries. I wouldn't crash into anyone but I merge confidently and assertively. It's not the place to stop and give way as that would be dangerous. There has only been a few occasions when the car has refused to let me in and I've had to slow down and go behind them. Also, use as much of the slip road as possible to give everyone on the main road time to help you.

teach me slip roads! I nearly killed my instructor today!! haha. I can't for the life of me get these right. My issues seems to be 1/ that I can't quite tell exactly where they are/what lane they're in as I am on the sliproad. I can't always detect how far they are behind me and their speed compared to mine, e,g can I go?!! It's complete lucky dip for me and I'm not sure how to fix it. ps - earlier what happened was I was entering a motorway from a slip road. As far as I could tell (although in hindsight I was wrong?) I can room to move in too. But then my instructor said 'he's not letting you in. Slow down!!! Stop!!'' and grabbed the wheel so that I was driving over the little cats-eye things on the left of the slip road. Scary stuff!! But teh driver behind me didn't slow down or move lane or anything for me. Instructor did say in fairness that that wasn't typical, but I don't care. I'd like to be able to deal with them on occasions where it's NOT easy (easy as the road is empty) or when everyone on the road is NOT being helpful (letting me in and moving across etc) etc IN other words, I could easily do this if I was controlling the car via remote control from birds-eye view!! Just not when i'm in the car lol

I once had 3 lorries nose to tail in lane 1, slowed down to a stop and almost had a car run up my back on the slip road, crossed the ghost island into the other slip lane got to the end of that and ANOTHER lorry cut me off the main road. I ended up moving into the hard shoulder and accelerating, the highway code says not to do this.... but when cars are barrelling down on you at 60 on the end of a slip road and your at 0 waiting to merge it's terrifying.

3 lorrys all tailgainting each other is pretty much as bad as it get on a slip road. This is why driverless trains of lorries following each other wouldn't work.

It normally works like this. Tootle onto the motorway; don't use your mirrors, as everybody else should get out of your way. Force the car in lane one to break or move into lane two. Remember to continue not using your mirrors so that you are oblivious to your ignorance. Oh, and don't forget to leave your indicator on, even though you should not be using it to enter a motorway, unless other road users may benefit from it, i.e., slow-moving traffic. Always indicate on egress from the motorway.

Thanks Jasmine.

Is stopping at a slip road to wait to enter the motorway allowed?

Really not ideal and could be dangerous, do all you can and follow my guide to avoid stopping. You only really need to stop in traffic.

Yes it is allowed. If you have no way of entering due to all those in lane one tailgating then you have no option but to slow down or even stop and wait. Similar to when you want to go straight while lane one is stopped due to traffic exiting from lane 1 while lane 2 moving. You wait until you have a safe gap to change to lane two.

NOTE- Many motorists do not know that there is NO law on undertaking. (passing slower moving traffic on left). It's a myth and those who think otherwise need to read up on the Highway Code. It's safer to pass on left than to make multi lane changes along with traffic in other lanes having to do the same at the same time.

There is a law and a fine of £100 and 3 points on your licence. I believe this was introduced in July 2015 but I can't be sure of that date as it is just from memory.

@@ConquerDriving Did you get this from the Highway Code or just word of mouth? Most people don't understand what is just a rule or what is a law. If it was illegal to undertake then Rule 268 that deals with overtaking on left would use the words "Must Not" instead of "Do Not". The meaning of those words are all explained in the Introduction to the Highway Code.
