Golf Gears (when to change gear)
I was asked recently to explain what speed we need to change gear at, I asked AI for some help with this task.
Here is what it said. I have removed some of the text such as follow up questions, but see what you think.

Helpful Videos
Some of these videos were made by me, while others come from instructors or driver trainers, experts whom I trust (and some whom, may not be completely helpful (generally) I may not have watched all the videos, therefore, I cannot confirm that all information is agreed upon.
I am regularly updating this page and my YouTube channel mainly for my students. You can find videos from me and others for The Magic Roundabout, Bruce Street Bridges, Mannington Roundabout and more here.

Channels worth a look and some to avoid
Learning To Drive Channels
https://www.youtube.com/@ashley_neal This guy is an excellent Instructor and Driver Trainer; he can sometimes be a bit opinionated on camera. However, his channel is a source of income, which likely contributes to his popularity.
https://www.youtube.com/@ConquerDriving Really great content, practical tips and quite in-depth explanations on how to do, use, know etc etc
The content to avoid channels like Clearview Driving and DGN Driving Mock Tests is primarily designed to draw you in, with much of it being staged or edited for dramatic effect. Steer clear of anything promising guaranteed ways to pass your driving test these are just tactics to encourage engagement. The key to passing your driving test is thorough preparation.
Sub-Headline
Advanced Driving Channels
https://www.youtube.com/@RegLocal if you're interested in Advanced Driving Techniques, best to watch after passing your L test.
https://www.youtube.com/@MickDrivesCars Another advanced driving channel. I don't condone anything illegal, like speeding, but he does provide some good content.
We're Driven to Bring You the Best
I spend time and money to continually invest into my professional development.
