Tight Roads & Meeting Traffic | Do You Know What To Do? Driving Lesson

Do you know what to do when you meet oncoming traffic on a tight road? In this driving lesson, I teach Linda how to deal with meeting situations safely and confidently, including when to give way, where to wait and how to judge whether there’s enough space to get through. Meeting traffic on narrow roads can be one of the trickiest parts of learning to drive. Parked cars, limited space and oncoming vehicles mean you need to plan ahead, understand priority and make good decisions before you find yourself stuck with nowhere to go. In this lesson, we cover how to approach meeting situations, when you should give way to oncoming traffic, choosing a safe place to wait, judging gaps and clearance, positioning around parked cars and recognising when it’s safe to continue. We also look at one of the most important skills for dealing with tight roads: looking far enough ahead. Spotting a meeting situation early gives you much more time to decide what to do rather than reacting at the last second. If you’re learning to drive, preparing for your UK driving test or simply struggle with narrow roads and meeting traffic, this lesson should help you understand exactly what to look for and how to make better decisions.
