English Vocabulary: How To Talk About Driving In English - バイリンガル字幕
Hey guys, welcome to another interactive video where you'll learn some driving vocabulary since you love the previous one so much.
It's not going to be a video where I teach you some basic vocabulary like this is a door,
this is a hood, and this is a rear view mirror.
No, there's plenty of videos that go over this.
In this video, I want us to learn how to talk about the actions we take when driving a car.
Because from my experience,
knowing how to talk about them is very important, especially if you're planning to get a driver's license in the US for instance.
And I've noticed that people are often not familiar with this vocabulary.
So without further ado, let's get to it.
So what we'll do first is unlock the car.
Then we'll get into the car or get in the car.
Both are correct.
However, if you're in the car and you want to ask someone to join you, you would say get in, not get into.
Hey, come on, get in.
If you needed to, you would adjust the seat position or you can say just adjust the seat and adjust the mirrors.
Now I am going to buckle up where I can also say fasten my seat belt or put on my seat belt.
You could also hear the phrases strep in or be careful.
I'll put the key in the ignition and start the car or start the engine.
Alright, now that we have done this, the next thing that I want to do is to pull out of the parking spot.
So when you're leaving or exiting, you're parking drive away, you pull out of it.
And the opposite of pull out of is pull in or pull into the parking spot, parking lot or the garage.
So to pull out of the parking spot, I need to do what?
That's right.
I need to move the car backwards.
And the right way to say this would be I need to back up or I need to reverse.
before I start moving I'll check my mirrors and I'll check my blind spots for any hazards.
A blind spot is the area you can't see by looking in the mirrors so you would look over your shoulder to do that.
All right, all clear, let's back up.
Now we will go to the main road and we will be merging into traffic.
Merging traffic is when two traffic streams combine into a single lane.
We'll turn on our blinker.
This means that we will turn on our turn.
and will yield the right of way.
This means allowing other vehicles to proceed through the intersection ahead of you.
A vehicle is anything used for transporting people or goods, especially on land such as a car, truck, or cart.
Cars moving on the road are called traffic and this is a traffic jam.
Now, we're going to speed up or accelerate smoothly, and this means that we'll start to move faster.
You could also use the phrase,
step on it,
and it means to start to move faster,
and you can use it in any situation where you want to tell someone to start moving faster,
and it actually comes from driving a car because when you step on the accelerator pedal,
you And now we will slow down, or break, gradually.
I wish everyone would slow down on the highways because the speed at which vehicles move on the highways stress me out.
Right now, I'm in the right lane, but I need to turn left at the traffic light.
This is a traffic light.
So, I need to change lanes.
This action means changing lanes, moving from one lane to another, and this is a lane.
I'll signal to change lanes, which means the same as turning on or it means using our turn signal.
So we can say to turn our signal on,
to put our signal on, to use our signal, or just to signal using the word signal as a verb.
Or of this, just using the word blinker instead of signal.
You can take your pick.
word you should know.
It's when one vehicle is driving too close to another one and is considered a form of aggressive driving and is dangerous.
We're not going to be doing that for safety reasons.
What we want to do is to maintain a safe distance, meaning leave enough space between our car in the car in front of us.
Do you know what the act of moving ahead of another vehicle is called?
There's more than one way to say this.
So we can say to pass a car to overtake a car or to surpass a car.
You should wait for a safe opportunity to pass a car in front of you on a two-lane road.
Now we're going to pull up to the curb or you can pull up next to another car or pull up next to a person.
Pull up means to drive up close to you and stop directly beside someone or something.
If an unknown vehicle pulls up next to you, you should be alert.

If your friend or partner or spouse parked too close behind another car, what would you tell them?
You would say something like, you're too close to that car, can you back up a little?
We don't wanna park our car too close to another car, so as not to block it.
When a car is blocked,
it is unable to move freely or proceed in its intended direction due to an obstacle or another vehicle intentionally placed in its way.
Hey, this.
Not nice person blocked me, and now I'm stuck here.
We don't want someone to say this about us.
After you pull up to something, you would pull away from it, meaning to start moving away from it.
Also, let's not confuse the words curb and curve.
This is a curb.
And this is a curb.
there's another phrasal verb we can use which also means to stop the vehicle.
It is pull over.
However pull over means to move your car to the side of the road so that you can safely stop there and you can use it as is and say pull over and it'll
mean stop when it is safe to do so.
Whereas when you use the phrase pull up you usually need to specify where.
You can also be pulled over by a police officer.
If a police officer pulls you over you need to move your vehicle closer to the side of the road and stop there.
When an officer comes up to your car you need to roll down your window.
So this action is cold to roll down your window.
And the opposite of this is to roll up your window.
Have you ever been pulled over?
Let me know in the comments.
And if you have, let me know why.
You will also hear phrases, come to a halt or come to a complete stop.
Which means to stop.
Do you know how to ask someone to take you somewhere in their car and leave you there?
Like you need to go to the store and you want to ask your friend to take you there?
You would say something like, can you please drop me off at the store?
To drop off means to take someone to a particular destination and stop.
momentarily so that the person can exit.
And opposite action to this one would be to pick someone up.
This to go to a specific location, pick the person up, and take them to their desired destination.
I, for instance, need to drop my son off at school and pick him up from school and every day.
Let's check our fuel gauge and see if we need to fill up our gas tank.
Looks we're good here.
However, for the sake of demonstration, we'll go to the gas station and fill up the tank.
and right now we're filling up our guest tank.
All right let's go back to the parking lot and we will reverse park here or park our car in reverse by backing into a parking space.
We'll put the car in park.
Turn off the engine, get out of the car, close the door, and log the car.
