hi everybody my name is Alisha welcome
back to top words today we're going to
talk about ten words and phrases for
driving keep in mind you'll see a lot of
phrasal verbs in driving and in
transportation in general we're going to
talk about a few in this lesson let's go
start the first word is start start to
start is just to turn on the car so I
don't know old cars it was just turn the
key and that would you know ignite the
engine get the engine going but now you
can just like you can push a button to
start cars too so depending on the type
of car I don't know but essentially to
begin your car experience we need to
first start the car so start the car in
a sentence start the car it's freezing
pull out pull in the next one is
actually a pair so we have pull out and
pull in so we use these two words when
we're leaving or when we're going into
for example a parking space so when we
are leaving a parking space in a car we
often say pull out of the parking space
when we are entering a parking space we
can say pull in to the parking space so
just keep that in mind so when you're
leaving pull out pull out of a location
when you are entering something pull in
to a location so pull into the garage or
pull into a parking space in a sentence
pull out of the garage and go left merge
the next word is merge merge so to merge
means two or more things come together
as one so you might hear this with like
companies like company a and Company B
merged we use this in driving four lanes
so the lines on the road show us the
lanes for driving sometimes these lanes
merge together to become one lane or to
become one highway as well we can see
that too so merging just means that the
roads or the lanes are going to come
together you will see this on signs like
merging lanes up ahead for example in a
sentence the lanes merge
up ahead change lanes the next
expression is change lanes change lanes
so if you're on a road that has more
than one lane so we use the word lane to
mean those like the separate lines on
the highway that we can drive between if
you would like to move to the
neighboring one the next Lane we use the
expression to change lanes like change
lanes before the intersection for
example in a sentence look all around
your car before you change lanes blinker
the next word is blinker blinker blinker
is kind of the casual word for it
because it's like the it's an
onomatopoeia onomatopoeia means like the
sound that a word makes so blinker is
many many many of these make kind of a
tik tik tik sound as they're on so they
they flash to show we're going to make a
turn so blinker is kind of a casual word
for this on the on the back and the
front light but we we also use the word
turn signal turn signal so these are the
lights on the fronts and the backs of
cars that show a driver is turning so a
right turn signal left turn signal front
and back so but we also call them
blinkers so in a sentence use your
blinker when making a turn windshield
wipers the next expression is windshield
wipers windshield wipers so these are
those objects on the front they're
outside the car they're in front of the
glass that protects the driver from wind
so the wind shield so on rainy days or
on days maybe with bad weather I don't
know what's happening but when there's
something on the windshield we use the
windshield wipers to wipe those shields
clean so windshield wipers they're these
things they do this so a windshield
wiper keeps the windshield clear of
maybe like debris or like maybe leaves
or something or rain as well so
windshield wipers are important in a
sentence windshield wipers are important
on rainy days pass the next word is pass
pass as a verb to pass
so if you are behind a very slow-moving
vehicle like a really big truck that's
transporting something you want to go
around that vehicle we use the verb pass
to describe that so if I'm following a
truck and I say oh so slow I'm going to
pass this truck and then that means you
wait for a passing lane in some cases to
go around safely so to pass someone is
to go beyond someone so yeah that's in a
sentence you need to pass this guy he's
so slow fast lane the next expression is
fast lane fast lane especially on
highways there might be one lane that's
used for the fastest driving cars the
cars that want to move at the fastest
speed so we call that the fast lane the
fast lane there is also a slow lane we
can say that you know actually on
highways on highways typically the
outermost Lane is the slow lane in the
innermost Lane is the fast lane why
because the outermost Lane is closest to
the exits so if there's an exit or an
off-ramp for the highway the slow lane
has the most direct access to that the
fast lane however is cars that want to
continue down the highway for a longer
period of time so they don't have any
need to stop for a while so fast lane
and they're slowly in a sentence use the
fast lane break the speed limit the next
expression is break the speed limit
break the speed limit so we use the verb
break for laws for rules to break a rule
to break the law we use it in this case
too
the speed limit is a law Allah how fast
you are allowed to go the maximum speed
the speed limit so to break the speed
limit means you are breaking the law
it's a bad thing
so to break the speed limit if you are
cut by a police officer you may have to
pay a fine or you may get a ticket or
you may go to jail I don't know so in a
sentence you're breaking the speed limit
slow down get pulled over the next
expression is get pulled over to get
pulled over means in your car the police
stop you
the police turn on their sirens and
follow you in their car and you have to
pull your car over to the side of the
road and speak to the police officer
because of some problem that you have so
maybe you were speeding you broke the
speed limit we use the expression
speeding for that or maybe you have a
light one of your blinkers is out for
example or maybe there's a problem with
your license plate or your the tags on
your car so the tags refers to your
car's registration so maybe there's some
problem with your car or maybe you had
some kind of bad behavior I don't know
but to get pulled over it's typically a
bad thing a police officer has
identified you in your car as a problem
somehow so to get pulled over
meaning the police make you pull your
car off the road to speak to you in a
sentence I was speeding and got pulled
over by the police so those are 10 words
