Blind Spot Checks - DMV Test Tips

When turning from a residential street onto a major street and there is no immediate visible speed limit sign (it is posted further back), what speed should I drive? 25 still? (For the purposes of the test since there was no visible sign in my route that came up yet, Even if I know the street is 35mph). Or would 25 mph be too slow bc other traffic is likely going the speed limit(35) or faster while I’m still at 25?

I failed my road test partially because I didn't check my blind spots. I wish I had seen this video before the road test.

I love you

And here I am looking like I'm cracking my back

That’s the best video ever please follow this guy cause he knows how to explain everything I failed before this video after I saw it I passed thank you so much God bless you!

When do we use the damn mirrors before or after blind checking in lane changes.

so blind spot is basically where your door handle is?

I passed my driving test today. This video is really helpful. Thanks

Finally someone who doesnt speak bullshit.❤❤

Well detailed thanks

I wish driving videos were more kind and patient like these instead of some oldhead ridiculing you for making mistakes

It’s actually pretty good that they make sure that we can check our blind spots by ourselves because just recently my mother got into an accident with someone who over relied on their car to tell them what was in their blind spot.

You explained more in 5 minutes than my teacher explained in 10 lessons.

Love these videos it is helping me a lot.

I have a question when I park to the curb because the examiner want’s us to reverse test so before parking should I check my blind spot

I literally didn't pass cause of this last week! 😢 blind spots are hard for me to do even though I been driving for years 🫣 I'm taking my test again today I will definitely apply this 🙏🏼 thank you

My question is simple: Can you safely do shoulder check on a highway switching lanes at 80-90km/hr? I haven't seen an instructor demonstrate this.

What was that music from the background in the beginning and the end of the video?

THANK YOU. I ALWAYS THOUGHT I HAD TO LOOK BACK AT THE BACK PASSENGER WINDOW. Thank you so much for this clarification because i would start to steer off into the other lanes.

Dumb question, do I only need to check the shoulder in the change I’m going?Or both ways no matter what?

You would see that cone if you had a cheap set of stick on blind spot mirrors. Cost around $4 in Wal-Mart.

I needed to learn this 😭🥺 thank you

just fyi: when i took my dmv test, i rented a fancy, newer version car with all the technology: blind spot checker, parking sensor, etc. my dmv intructor actually asked me to turn off all these technologies before we did the test.

Best explanation I saw here thank you so much

I took the “head over the shoulder” too literally and looked almost behind me sometimes. Glad people are clarifying

Really great video. I find it very annoying how there is not much videos out there like this explaining things simply, calmly and in detail. Most of them are haughty, arrogant and annoying and/or don't go into details at all. Nice to know there are great videos like this for idiots like myself, that need a detailed explanation for things that most people can do without much problem. Thank you 😄

PS. I haven"t checked your channel yet so I don't know, but in case you didn't could you make a video about your experience with or tips for people with adhd it would be greatly appreciated.😊

I love watching your videos. You explain very good.

yeah i kept turning my head all the way like a bird or something this helps

Thank you for being so calm when explaining. It eased my worries

Best video ever! Good job sir!

Nice illustration of the blind spot and why we need to check it.

Thaaaaaanks, I am from Brazil I am in Mass now. I saw lot of videos but Now I have what I need. 🤓🤓🤓🤓

Thank you for sharing this tips , I am practicing for my test

Great video! Thank you!

Thank you so much for this video. I am a new driver and got my car a week and a half ago. I made a really big mistake today, I was lucky the car behind me was paying attention... I merged to my left lane and a car was in my blind spot. No accident luckily. But it was a major mistake and now I am terrified as to why I didn't think to check my blind spot. I just checked my mirrors and decided to go, but obviously I need to rethink again... this video is really helpful!

This Channel is great! Very informative! I subscribed immediately.

I actually love this guy, this is awesome

DO you have a vdieo on how to parallel park, if you do can you please link me it

this helps so much thank u!!!

I failed my first test due to this as well, but tomorrow I take it again. I hope I pass! Thanks for explaining this well!

Thanks 🙏

Bro my first test failed cuz I forgot to do this when getting out of parallel parking. Woulda passed otherwise. Second test, I just forgot to turn off the ebreak. But either way both examiners sounded rude and looked very judge mental, wish I had someone like you. Third time is a charm, this Thursday

So for example if I do a right turn should I check the right blind spot or both?

You're great. I like how calm you are when you explain things and you give good detail rather than a hurried explanation. Thank you so much.

I needed this video. I don't want to get into an accident because I did not check my blind spots. I need to remember to turn my head and look over my left or my right shoulder. This is something I need to make sure I do.

I have my drivers test today at 3pm! Thanks for your video. Very helpful because I wasn’t sure how often I should be checking my blind spots. Wish me luck😬🙌🏼☺️

The question is where do you look for the blind spot. Take a quick look at MIDDLE of the BACK DOOR WINDOW.

This really clarifies it. I was turning all the way around.

i’m so nervous my test is in the morningggggg
