Right now, this one's gonna be fun.

Be people e.

I don't know.

I haven't driven a vehicle in, like, nine years.

Okay, begin.

Hi, everybody.

And welcome back to top words.

My name is Alicia and today we're gonna talk about 10 phrases to use when driving.

So let's go.

Your steering wheel.

Ah, the first expression is steering wheel steering wheel.

Is that thing that circular object in the car you used to move the vehicle?

It's called the steering wheel Steering wheel.

So in a sentence, keep both hands on the steering wheel.

Next blinker, Turn signal.

The next expression is blinker or turn signal.

We have two words for this blinker or turn signal.

This is the part of the car.

The light that blinks s o this sort of on off, on off.

We say it blinks.

That's the verb.

But we used to describe that Onoff action or turn signal is another way to explain this one.

But we use this to signal when we're turning to the right or turning to the left.

So in a sentence, make sure to use your turn signals.

Windshield wiper.

The next expression is windshield wiper windshield wiper.

Your windshield is that thing, the piece of glass at the front of the car that keeps the car separate from the world outside.

It like that.

Is your wind shield literally windshield?

It shields you, the driver and your passengers from the wind.

The wind shield.

So a windshield wiper is those those rubbery things.

They wipe the windshield like rain are, um, other objects that might fall?

Okay In a sentence, I accidentally turned on the windshield wipers fast lane.

The next expression is fast lane, and there's also a slow lane.

But fast lane is the specific lane, a specific part of the road for cars that want to drive quickly.

So if you'd like to go fast, you should go in the fast lane.

If you do not want to go fast, you should go in the slow lane, or maybe just the regular lane.

So there's a fast lane in a slow lane on some roads, in some highways in a sentence.

Keep a quick pace in the fast lane to hit the guests to hit the gas.

The gas means the accelerator, so to hit the accelerator to hit has the nuance of suddenly or quickly doing something, so to hit the gas means to quickly increase speed.

So in a sentence hit the gas, you're going too slow to hit the brakes.

Then the other side of this expression is to hit the brakes, so the brakes are.

Those are the parts of the car that slow the car down.

To hit the brakes means to suddenly step on the brakes.

Just suddenly, try to slow the car down, or maybe stop the car quickly is to hit the brakes.

You can also say to slam on the brakes, which is even stronger than hit the brakes.

So in a sentence, don't hit the brakes so hard to break the speed limit.

The next expression is to break the speed limit, so to break the speed limit means ah, you break the law, actually break here.

Break does not refer to destroying something or damaging something.

Break instead is the verb that we used to mean.

We have violated a law.

We have done something bad according to the rules in our country or our city or something.

So to break the speed limit or to break the law means we are going faster than the allowed speed limit.

If the speed limit is 20 miles an hour, 20 kilometers an hour and our car is traveling at 50 kilometers an hour, 50 miles an hour, whatever your country uses, this is breaking the speed limit.

To break the speed limit is too fast.

So in a sentence, I broke the speed limit and I got a ticket theme.

Next expression is to pass to pass.

So this is used in a situation where there is one car moving slower than another car.

So Carrey is moving along Ah, at a slow pace car be decides that it wants to go faster than car, eh?

So to pass means to move to the side of the slower car past the car and then move back in front and continue on.

So sometimes there is a specific passing lane to do this.

Other times there is specific marks on the road that indicates our that show that it's okay to pass.

So in the U.

S.

It's a dotted line, which means you can pass in this part of the road.

It's safe to pass.

So to pass means to move beyond another car, going more slowly.

Be careful to pass other cars safely.

To be in an accident.

To be in an accident to be in an accident means, in this case, a car accident, a car crash.

So something ah, unfortunate has happened.

And maybe, Ah, the car was damaged.

A person was hurt or killed.

Perhaps in all of those situations we can say, um, he or she was in an accident or I was in an accident in a sentence.

Have you ever been in an accident?

Fender Bender.

Ah, the next expression is Ah, interesting word.

It's called fender bender.

A fender bender as a minor accident.

A small accident.

This expression comes from Ah, fender.

Fender is a part of a car.

Fender is at the front of a car.

Ah, it's It's usually kind of a plastic, um, a plastic sort of barrier or a plastic part right at the front of the car above the wheels but below the hood of the car.

Uh, so a fender bender is a small accident where maybe two cars collide a little bit and the fender on the front of the car becomes bent.

So there's a small bit of damage to the fender on Lee on the car.

So Fender Bender is used to talk about small scale accidents, so sometimes this might literally mean the fender of the car was damaged.

But it can also mean just a small bit of damage to a car somewhere else.

So a small accident is called a fender bender in a sentence my friend got in a fender bender last weekend.

All right, so that's the end.

So those are 10 phrases to use when driving.

I hope that you find them useful.
