  • paying attention when they are in charge. And then we also

  • in charge of something when you're the leader and someone

  • where someone isn't paying attention to what they're

  • teacher. I would say they're a backseat driver. So when you're

  • not just when you're driving. Uh it can also be any situation

  • classroom when I was looking out the window. Um later the

  • driving. If someone is in charge of a company and things

  • Someone might say oh they were asleep at the wheel. If the

  • are asleep at the wheel it will cause an accident. But this

  • quite common in some of your countries. But in my area it

  • think it actually helps me. I don't I think I can I think I

  • traffic. You can kind of just keep going. You always in

  • to build what's called a roundabout. Roundabouts are

  • are stoplights at an intersection. Sometimes it's

  • roads cross we would call that an intersection. Usually there

  • little stop sign helping kids cross the road. An

  • go to town. There are crossing guards in different places in

  • road by themselves. But it's much safer when a crossing

  • you might see a crosswalk. Usually these are marked with

  • little light and usually there's a stoplight and the

  • out of the car and and stretch a little before I kept driving.

  • would then say the police pulled me over. You don't want

  • where you're going and you can drive forward. So just a quick

  • almost everywhere in the world. It's called double parking.

  • decide to pull over. That's when you're on the road and you

  • go on to the side of the road. This person decided to pull

  • to parallel park. Where I can just drive in and not have to

  • Sometimes when you back out of your driveway you have to look

  • then you back beside them. So when you start your cars are

  • parallel to each other. Um this is something that was very

  • parking spot. And you park I think it's called parallel

  • along and you see a pylon you know that you should be more

  • of your driveway it means you're driving out. Sometimes

  • driveway. But in this situation you can see this person has

  • out. Etcetera etcetera.

  • So if you are facing away from your house you can pull out of

  • decided to pull into their driveway. So they pull into

  • backwards. So this is the opposite then of to pull into.

  • house. So you pull into your driveway. If you're in your

  • you've decided to go into the driveway in front of your

  • your house and you are going in reverse. So if you are in a

  • you back out of the driveway it means that your car is facing

  • lose your license. You might even go to jail if you hurt

  • this and you get caught you will probably get a DUI which

  • do this. It is illegal in almost every country in the

  • run a red light. It means that you're driving along and you

  • you go through it we say that you are running a red light.

  • this you endanger the life of other people. If you do this it

  • little too quickly. Um this person it's not a good example.

  • leave very much space. Let me stop this video. It's going a

  • someone off if you watch the black truck right there. So

  • deal. So I couldn't find a good video of this. But when you cut

  • And if someone says did anyone get hurt? And you might say no

  • another car. But yes a fender bender. Um so often if you say

  • indeed. But definitely when you're out driving you want to

  • own fault though. I turned too sharp and I I kind of hit

  • along the front. The fender is the piece around the wheels on

  • to avoid getting into any kind of collision especially a head

  • a fender bender. If you look at the dent in this car the dent

  • head on collision or if you hit someone head on. It means the

  • happen and I could not find a video of this actually

  • kind of ran over the curb as well. You never want to have

  • car and then I ran over the pop bottle so past tense. So when

  • run over the other day? Someone threw a pop bottle out of the

  • he's going to run over the grass and he's going to run

  • can run over a pop can. You can accidentally run over animals

  • over the curb. In English when you say that someone runs over

  • an intersection is a place where maybe in the city roads

  • or streets run north south and east west. And wherever those

  • can go through that intersection faster now because

  • who's not the leader keeps telling you how to do your job

  • places where you don't have to stop if you don't see any

  • that says they're allowed to walk across a little person a

  • experience. Especially if you get hurt. Um so hopefully none

  • driving along and you see pylons you know that there's

  • have another phrase backseat driver. So if someone sits in

  • to beat the rush. They Want to leave before everyone else

  • sometimes call it a car crash or just a crash. A car accident

  • In Canada or at least in my part of Canada we have started

  • most likely to experience a traffic jam or to get stuck in

  • doing. So literal translation you fall asleep while driving.

  • people will cross the road. A crossing guard is someone who

  • teacher keeps telling me how to do it. And they're not the

  • these children want to cross the road. Kids can cross the

  • Canada move to the right and go around the roundabout and then

  • more traffic. So between seven and 9 AM is rush hour. It's

  • the back seat and tells you how to drive we call them a

  • people can walk across the road. Usually there's a light

  • was some Something new for some people. So some people weren't

  • town to help large groups of kids walk across the road so

  • behind you and you'll hear their siren and light. You'll

  • go wrong because they weren't running the company right.

  • there is a roundabout. So this is something you should never

  • something. So when it's when there's inaction you might say

  • just to pull over and to relax a bit. Have a cup of tea. Enjoy

  • they can get safely to school. I think it's probably a nice

  • see this crossing guard has a stop sign in their hand and

  • English phrase is actually used for times when you're not

  • situations. Let's say I'm teaching a class and another

  • principal could say were you asleep at the wheel? So it's

  • They had road rage. So not a good emotion to have. If you

  • Sometimes on the news you'll hear that someone drove their

  • oh they were asleep at the wheel. Um if students let's say

  • Also used as a phrase to describe when someone isn't

  • I wasn't paying attention and students snuck out of my

  • put your hazard lights on those are the little flashing lights

  • we sometimes refer to that person as a backseat driver.

  • everyone a while to get used to it. I know roundabouts are

  • intersection. By the way you can see the white lines which

  • you get off on the proper road. Um we just received or got a

  • helps school aged children cross the road safely. You can

  • government decides if the government doesn't do

  • as nice in the middle of the winter. Because they do this

  • couldn't find one. But when you parallel park you are in the

  • just a stop sign. Um but an intersection is a place where

  • is a place where two roads or maybe more than two roads cross

  • sure how to use it properly. But a roundabout I like them. I

  • everyday. Crossing guards are out there every day. But yes a

  • sometimes when you are driving you need to pull over.

  • nice thing to do. Double parking is illegal. Even if you

  • roundabout in our local town a few years ago. So it took

  • Sometimes the police will pull you over. So notice you can

  • But I usually look for a parking spot where I don't have

  • But I would say the black vehicle has cut off I think

  • construction ahead. You should slow down. In Canada they are

  • over. Sometimes when you're driving the police will be

  • to parallel park. So I did eventually learn how to do it.

  • that that are usually amber or orange on the corners of your

  • in your mirrors and it's a little trickier. But when you

  • This is something you do when you park beside someone. So

  • down so that you don't hit something or don't do something

  • parking because you start by pulling up beside someone and

  • bumper. So when you tailgate it means you're driving you're

  • know that you need to stop. You know or stop or at least slow

  • backseat driver. But we also use this phrase in other

  • have a video for this one. It was very hard to find one. I

  • something you should never do. This is extremely dangerous.

  • difficult for me to learn. It's very hard for me to learn how

  • you either go straight or you decide to turn left or right.

  • always orange. Or mostly they're orange. They are always

  • to someone oh I got in a small accident on the way to work.

  • do. You should never fall asleep while driving. If you

  • see their lights and then you need to pull over. And you

  • vehicle. So do not double park. Never a nice thing to do. Uh

  • of the verb. So when I park my car I will often back in. And

  • over. Do you understand the difference? If I was tired, I

  • that would endanger other people. So if you're driving

  • are the crosswalk at this intersection. An intersection

  • light. So I changed it to a red light. I put a red. on it. You

  • or you could say it's where four roads meet or streets. Uh

  • someone. So when you back out when you are in a driveway and

  • easier way to do it. Um I like parking this way because then I

  • pull out a your driveway or when you pull out you can see

  • guard helps them. So usually in the morning and at night when I

  • driveway and you decide to leave you back out of your

  • you're driving your car and you park. They're already parked on

  • job in this fall and spring. But I think it's probably not

  • would pull over and I would just rest for a bit, maybe get

  • the side of the road. And then you park beside them. So not a

  • a parking spot. So you have a car you back your car into a

  • think about it. And this is something that is illegal

  • Uh when you pull pull into your driveway you're on the road and

  • cautious with your driving. Parallel parking. So I don't

  • you're driving you don't want to run over anything. You want

  • Where no one's really injured but your car gets a dent in it.

  • light will be red. So a crosswalk is a place where

  • construction happening somewhere. So when you're

  • don't have to think too much when I leave my house.

  • city and you are driving along and you can back your car into

  • orange. So when you're driving along and you see pylons you

  • If I was speeding, the police might pull me over. In the city

  • to get pulled over. But sometimes you decide to pull

  • some kind of white lines. A crosswalk is a place where

  • then I will pull out when I'm ready to leave. It's just an

  • are pylons. When you see pylons you know there is most likely

  • when you're driving along the road you will see these. These

  • don't run a red light. Always a bad thing to do. And this is

  • into you drive into your driveway. And when you pull out

  • your driveway or you can pull out. You can use both versions

  • You should never run a red light. It is a bad idea. So

  • he's not really close enough to the video to the car in the

  • it's also part of the fender. So the bumper is the piece

  • skills. It was actually the original video. It was a green

  • their driveway. Park their car. Get out. Get their groceries

  • something if you run over something with your car it

  • review again. When you back out you go backwards. When you pull

  • driveway and you back out of the driveway you are going

  • Toronto. And he would leave at 4 AM to go to work to beat the

  • or people. I don't want to talk about that. But whenever you

  • means it goes under your car. You can run over garbage. You

  • much space between the two vehicles we would say that you

  • see a stoplight and it's red and you're supposed to stop. In

  • most likely be injured or it will be very very serious

  • the arena or stadium. And the game's not over. But they want

  • them. And you are not capable of driving safely. Don't ever

  • This is very very bad and it's called drunk driving. If you do

  • cut someone off. Cut off. Um and then this is not a great

  • video. But when you cut someone off it means you pass them and

  • other vehicle. So when you tailgate someone you follow

  • a minor fender bender. Minor means like not that big of a

  • Canada there are severe severe punishments for this. You will

  • example either. This is someone who is tailgating. When you

  • drive carefully. You want to drive cautiously and you want

  • it was just a fender bender. You might even say minor. Just

  • type of accident. If you are in a head on collision you will

  • world. And it is not a good thing to do. Um and if you do

  • really close to them. So it's different than bumper to

  • to be careful. But this guy he for some reason he is if you

  • someone with your car and you follow them too closely. Run a

  • tailgate someone it means you follow them and you're really

  • vehicles and one moves in front really really quickly without

  • is kind of on the bumper but also around the side of the car

  • happening. It's very very dangerous. But if you are in a

  • it's a Tesla isn't it? This is a Tesla. So when you have two

  • red light. So I had to edit this video a little bit. It was

  • morning and they'll try and leave work. You see this one

  • in your country driving while intoxicated. But certainly in

  • Canada when you see a red light you're supposed to stop. But if

  • happen. You do not want to get into a car accident. We

  • then you move in front of them really quickly and you don't

  • like the older gentleman rear rendered the younger gentlemen.

  • run over the curb you see how he went off the road and he

  • front of both cars hit each other. This technically isn't

  • watch him he will run over the grass. Right now as soon as you

  • car accident. But certainly a car accident is not a nice

  • leaves. And then this is the thing you don't want to have

  • word to say. Um I was in a fender bender once. It was my

  • quite lined up the toy cars. So generally a head on collision

  • gentlemen they have just been in a car accident. It looks

  • Um a car accident is not a nice thing. Thankfully cars are much

  • is when one car hits another car. You can see these two

  • called to beat the rush. Sometimes on a Friday people

  • is when someone coming from the other way hits you and the

  • will leave work. They'll come into work really early in the

  • quite a head on collision because the cars they're not

  • actually I don't know if you can see my elite video editing

  • means driving under the influence or it might be a DWI

  • We call it a fender bender. It rhymes. So it's kind of a fun

  • safer these days. I think because of airbags and because

  • means you leave early. Some people do this when they go and

  • moving along and the one vehicle is right behind the

  • on collision. Sometimes though you just get into what's called

  • means you are consuming beverages that have alcohol in

  • rush. And he would finish his school day at two o'clock and

  • when I rush through my lesson I talk really fast. Um so rush

  • traffic. Also probably three thirty and six o'clock at night

  • when noone is on the highway. In fact there's something

  • the side. And when you have an accident that's somewhat minor.

  • someone who lived here and taught at a high school in

  • the nice spring air and then get back on the highway after

  • and eventually you get angry. We call this road rage.

  • of you have any car accidents in the future or ever. So you

  • fronts of both cars hit. It is probably the most dangerous

  • of how cars are designed you're less likely to get injured in a

  • everyone's trying to get home again. Jen and I try to drive

  • when most people are driving on the highways. It's when you're

  • couple vehicles in a moment going the other way. These

  • we're going through or to the city. It's just better to drive

  • people probably left work early to beat the rush. I knew

  • vehicle there's only one vehicle going one way and a

  • When you hit a car from behind I don't have this word in the

  • you have calmed down. So a couple times a day we have

  • time. And people get off work around the same time. There's

  • leave to beat the rush. So when you try to beat the rush it

  • vocabulary list but it looks like he rear ended that person.

  • to beat the rush. Sometimes you'll see people on TV leaving

  • watch a sports game. They'll leave the game before it's over

  • see right now he is going to run over the grass and then he

  • have to watch this video clip for a bit. This guy is going to

  • when it's not rush hour if we need to go on the highway or if

  • Sometimes road rage results in someone committing a crime.

  • see something on the road ahead let's say there's what did I

  • are driving and you are getting angry it's probably a good idea

  • car and hit someone else's car because they were so angry.

  • English rush means to do something quickly. You know

  • hour is when everyone's trying to get to work and when

  • is rush hour again. It's when everyone is going home. So in

  • late for an appointment because she is stuck in traffic. Um No

  • someone almost hits you and you get angry. Maybe you're in

  • frustrating as well. Um Jen and I went on a trip last fall and

  • almost touching. Okay? So you could say oh I was late for

  • work yesterday because I was in bumper to bumper traffic for an

  • people experience when traffic is bad or when another driver

  • when we say it is bumper to bumper traffic we mean that are

  • It means exactly that. The traffic stops. And then the

  • I'm late because I was stuck in traffic. So you can see this

  • back of a car. The piece that if you were to hit another

  • traffic. You're stuck in traffic. You're in bumper to

  • traffic goes. It's very similar to being in a traffic jam. It's

  • bumper traffic for so long. You get more and more frustrated

  • the same thing. Um stop and go traffic can be very very

  • work at the same time in the morning or around the same

  • something called rush hour. Because a lot of people start

  • stop and go for sure. And then this is something that some

  • we the GPS said there was an accident ahead but we didn't

  • rubber or metal piece on the front and back of a car. So

  • vehicle you would hit bumpers. Okay. It's kind of the plastic

  • hour. It took forever to get to work. So it's very similar to

  • or angry. And it's called road rage. Road rage is when you get

  • angry. I know I mentioned the emotion of fear. But road rage

  • traffic jams isn't it? Uh we describe it as bumper to bumper

  • you know when to go and when to stop. Cuz you don't want to

  • for an hour. We also describe it's a lot of phrases for

  • get off the highway and we ended up in stop and go traffic

  • traffic. So the bumper is what you have on the front and the

  • does something that makes you a little bit frightened or afraid

  • we also use the phrase stuck in traffic. Sometimes when you go

  • to the city sometimes when I go to Toronto I end up in a

  • stop and go when you say that you are in stop and go traffic.

  • traffic goes and then the traffic stops. And then the

  • Maybe that would make you happy. We also use the term

  • I don't experience this very often. But sometimes when I go

  • You can see the lady in the car beside him is checking her

  • is really about anger. Maybe you're driving along and

  • of the highway is closed and everyone has to merge into one

  • cause another car accident. When you are in a traffic jam

  • to a meeting when I go to a meeting in the city sometimes

  • or listen to an English podcast when you're stuck in traffic.

  • have to pay attention when you are in a traffic jam so that

  • traffic goes and then the traffic stops and then the

  • might experience when you are driving. These are things that

  • one is happy when they're stuck in traffic. Okay maybe that

  • lane. Traffic jams can be very very frustrating. You really

  • gentleman here is not very happy. He is stuck in traffic.

  • I'll talk about a whole bunch of different things that you

  • traffic jam. A traffic jam is a situation where traffic is

  • either moving very slowly or traffic is not moving at all.

  • I'm going to talk about. Luckily I live in an area where

  • lesson about driving. Traffic jam. So this is the first thing

  • watch. Because she's probably going to be late for work or

  • that's not true. Maybe you can listen to your favourite music

  • a car at some point in your life. In this English lesson

  • when you are driving. So once again welcome to this English

  • I'm not sure if you own a car or if you sometimes rent a car

  • Well hello and welcome to this English lesson about driving.

  • Maybe there's an accident up ahead. Maybe one of the lanes

  • might happen on your way to work. They might happen on your

  • way to school. It might be something you see or notice

  • You.
