I feel for her. It's really nerve wracking sitting a test (mock or not), in a car you've not driven before and roads you're not familiar with. She just needs some more practice. Best of luck 👍
I've failed three tests so far, and I'm losing motivation and am terrified to take another. I failed on such silly things three times, each time at the very end of the test. I've got a test scheduled for this week Thursday, and I'm not sure how I'll manage it. 🥺 EDIT: I’VE PASSED, one minor 🥳
Honestly good on her. The fact she managed to stay calm and not stress out. These situations can be so tricky to deal with. We all know after one mistake, dwell on it. I just felt her pain the wholeeee way through. Just a little more practice and she’s deffo got it!!
I'm over here in America with my lil Automatic transmission thinking I would have already been crying if I stalled out on that first hill 😂 Go Suzy!! You got this!!
What I appreciate and like about her first serious fault was that she wasn't scared or ashamed to ask for help and when she was told what to do she stayed calm and did it!
Learners pls eat your pride and ask for assistance, humbling yourself will get you a long way compared to if you are too stubborn to accept your faults and accept criticisms
You know you're a fan of this channel when you know the route and roads, despite never having visited the area :D Love to watch vids now even though I passed 2 years ago, always a good idea to keep yourself sharp :).
I'm happy to say I'm now finally one of the people that passed but are still watching these videos! Passed last Wednesday first time with 5 minors! Your videos and your driving course were both super helpful.
She did really well. Driving tests are so nerve wracking and stressful and once you make one mistake its hard to get over it and she stays so calm all the way through. Good on her and good luck for next time
I can sense her anxiety because I'm the same in these situations atm, although I'm only 7.5 hours into my practical learning so this helps a lot. Fair play to her though, she seems to be keeping her cool.
When I did my test, early on I was asked to pull up on the right hand side and when doing so I touched the curb. For some reason I really thought that it was a major fault and I had failed my test but told myself I’d continue driving as best as I possibly could to prove my driving ability. I ended up passing the test with 3 minors being completely shocked by it
Nice one, that’s the attitude you gotta have. And if you fail the test, just remember the examiner is still there to assess your driving for the rest of the test duration (unless you do something dangerous and they terminate the test) so you know what mistakes you need to correct for next time.
The same happens to me, i hit a curb on a very very tight roundabout, and at the end, i pass, when i asked my tester about that she said that she didn't see that mistake as big enough to ignore rest of the test, the driving tester matter as well
I did that in my first test, I pulled in perfectly but she asked me to pull forward and I grazed the curb. I knew I failed, I had another major in a car park because I got nervous and it was busy. I failed, but I passed my third try doing the exact same route as the first tests I failed, in the same car park 😂
Dealing with hills from stationary is easiest if you coordinate with the handbrake. I think she never used it when starting uphill which would require excellent clutch control and rapidly coordinated movement of the right foot to the gas pedal at a precise moment. Experienced drivers can do this but just do it the easiest way until your skillset improves sufficiently.
I'm not really that experienced (3-4 years of independent driving, but not every day), and I still feel anxious on hills, but it is easier for me to not use the handbrake, as I have close to zero experience with that. On my test there weren't any hill starts / driving, and I live in a mostly flat area. So whenever I'm in heavy traffic on a hill, I feel like 50% anxious still, even though my starts uphill without the break are quite good and have never rolled back more than maybe 20-30 cm.
I learnt without using handbrake, it really depends on how good your clutch control is I think but then again everyone is different when it comes to driving but that’s some really good advice :)
Completely agree, I passed in December last year and only just got my car last week. I don't have complete confidence in my clutch control on a new car yet so using the handbrake is like an extra safety net for me
So glad to say that I passed last Monday with 3 minors! I couldn’t have done it without watching these mock tests. My best advice for the test is to stay calm and treat the examiner like he’s a friend, if I can pass anyone can :))
Hey ! Congratulations on passing! What's your first car? I passed in 2019 but still watch this,if I go back to do my test I know I'd fail because the bad habits I do now would definitely fail if I redo my test lol
I had my driving test a few days ago and passed first time with 1 minor!! This channel has been such a big help and I'll definitely still keep watching as there's always so much to learn from them!
Can’t afford to do the courses but watching every mock test video on your channel has actually improved my driving to the point where my instructor has said I’ve improved very well!!!
Don't show your faults! Don't admit anything! Take a breath and carry on. In my test the tester put their foot on the break pedal - I felt it. They weren't convinced we'd fit through a gap whilst crawling slowly(we did), everybody told me that was a fail if they ever did that - I didn't even acknowledge it, I carried on and passed with flying colours. I have a feeling if I said "I've failed, you touched the break" - she'd of had no choice but to fail me. Put on a brave face and get yourself through it, and hell - if you fail, so what? go again!
I passed first time round with 5 minors, 2 weeks ago. These videos are very helpful, I still watch them ✅Good luck to everyone taking their exam 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Why don't you teach them to put the handbrake on in the stalling situations? Takes the pressure off of the car rolling back and allows them to focus on finding the biting point and moving off again.
She can defo drive. Needs to practice manoeuvres and she’ll be completely fine. You need to remember she’s never drove that car before so that could explain her stalling. I’ve passed my test and I avoid parallel parking all the time. She’ll be fine
I could parallel park perfectly in my instructors car, but my cars bigger so I still struggle with any parking that isn’t reverse park 😂 I try it now and again but only if I’m by myself hahah
8:48 The reason for the stalling for the new drivers. Too fast off the clutch, not setting enough revs when moving off and when changing gears you need to build up speed more before changing up to the next one.
Pin is just so amazing. Calm, respectful and collective. Watched all your videos for the last few months and even though I've been driving for 12 years, I think more. And have helped my sister a lot more because she's a nervous driver so your videos do help so much for people :)
Suzy did really well to come back from those hill starts. If it were me, I’d want to stop, but she was really brave to persevere and follow through. Hope she’s now passed
I am also now finally one of those viewers that still watches after passing, passed a couple of weeks ago first time 6 minors. Its so true what they say about the real learning starts once you pass, I must be honest and say that I have been struggling a bit in my own car and am yet to feel confident enough I can drive on my own. Going on what you was saying about you shouldnt just learn stuff for your test I totally agree I find myself a little disappointed as I am not confident on hills niether can I actually park in realistic conditions so it's causing me some issues and not helping my confidence so much I've even had an extra lesson when I passed.
What's makes you nervous while driving uphill? Its about clutch control. Try driving more as women often don't prefer driving and it's more of a privilege for them than an interest or passion. Also the spatial judgement and reflex do play a bog role as well
@@sumeetghai8867 feel your comment was a little bit sexist there to be honest, but yes it's down to my clutch control on hills so I'm trying to get more practice.
@@nataliedebiase5089 no not intend to be a chauvinist in any sense of it has come across this way. It just that women don't prefer driving much in place where I live . They don't have a innate passion for it. It's more of a skill they attain to make life easier.
I agree, I just recently passed and I feel that I have learned more in 2 days being solo on the road than having an instructor present. Perhaps it’s because I am more of an independent learner rather than being instructed step-by-step - it just doesn’t help me unless I can take the time to absorb it by myself. Well done on passing!😊👍🏼
@@CoachingbyCade I'm still working on actually driving solo, not really done much been putting it off 😅 my confidence is increasing loads at the min tho so hopefully I will be able to take that step soon. You too, well done on passing yours! 😊
When reversing steer the way you want to go, same as going forward. It's that simple, people over complicate it in thier heads, it's honestly not, just steer the way you want to go.
I think maybe another few lessons will be perfect for her and with these tips she’s learnt, and she will be more confident and ready to ace her test. It’s nerve racking on your driving test and it’s nerve racking especially if you’re in an unknown area and an unknown car. Best of luck Susie :)
@@thomasneedham1224 We’ve all been there tbh, that’s the point of lessons so she can learn how to stop bad habits when driving . She’s probs much better in the car she’s learning in!
it’s because you’d be preventing people from overtaking - she should’ve switched to the right lane a bit before approaching her turn, not as far away as she did
I did buy your ultimate driving course but I'll be honest I was so busy so I only got a chance to watch a few videos from it but I passed my automatic test yesterday first time with just 2 minors. Definitely been watching your channel and it's really good. Glad I'm finished with this driving test stuff now.
Considering different car, city instructor and being on camera. She didn't do too bad! Just needs to be more confident with her controls instead of looking down and needs to apply the handbrake to control the car more! Great video and great instructing! 👍
Interesting to see how mock tests work in other countries. In Romania we are taught that, every time you overtake an obstacle or parked vehicle, cyclist, etc, you have to use the turn signal to indicate that you are overtaking something on your side of the road, especially if it forces you to cross the axis of the road and into the other lane which is meant for incoming traffic. That way the vehicle behind you can see your turn signal which suggest that there is an obstacle or hazard to avoid and can adjust his speed accordingly and in a timely manner.
it is such a great feeling watching your videos now that i have my license! I`ve passed 1st time few months ago but i still watch your videos sometimes...goog luck everyone who is still in driving school!
I'm not sure why she thought she was ready, most learners need at least 30 hours or more before going for a test. It definitely shows that shes only had 20 hours, keep going and practice more and you will get there x
It really depends on the person and how quickly they can grasp things and how good their hand eye coordination is plus some people simply perform poorly in pressurised situation that aren't comfortable with, she may have been a perfect driver with her own instructor
i have watched loads of the videos you have posted and im really surprised by the amount of patience you have when with these learners, ive only just passed and would love to take part in a video but i live far away from where you do these
This channel is always really interesting. I drive automatic, so seeing that this is all manual is great. I have always wanted to learn to drive manual to get that experience. Thank you for sharing. She did great with not giving up or stressing.
I don’t even know why ppl bother with manual when It’s so much less stressful and hassle - free driving in traffic to do automatic? Passed automatic and will never do manual in the city anyway
Haha If she can’t park on a hill or do hill starts, she’ll never be able to drive to Brighton. Nobody should ever be looking at the gearstick - there’s no need to look at it because it’s always in the same place and the position of the gears (1st, 2nd etc) never changes.
the position of gears differs from car to car, do not assume. And to clarify this is Pin's car and not Suzy's, it would make perfect sense since she wouldn't be familiar with the vehicle because it's not hers to begin with.
Looking down at gears is very dangerous, and its a sign shes a beginner learner or not had enough time on the road. Clutch control is also amateur. And her observations. No matter what car youre in, gears and clutch control should be managed easily if youre truly ready to be on the road. Young people think if they've had 20 lessons they're ready for a licence, but there's so much with driving that you have to master before you're a safe and competent driver. Checking mirrors to tick a box for the instructor is what we do when we learn, but knowing why we're checking the mirror is crucial. I think the age limit for driving should be raised.
I’m 18, passed when I was 18 and I’m completely fine. Most people I know have passed and are 18 and they’ve passed for nearly a year, no one’s crashed, had a penalty point etc. most dangerous drivers are people aged 20-40. Your just being stereotypical Plus those people got 0-3 faults
I think you’re generalising a little much in this comment. When you drive a new car it takes a little while to become used to the clutch, I learnt in a diesel and my cars a petrol which, for me, are quite different especially when it comes to moving off, that doesn’t mean I wasn’t ready to drive. It isn’t even the learner who suggests going for their practical, it’s the instructor (most of the time). Since I’ve been on the road, I can tell you that it isn’t us “young people” who are the danger, I actually had an older gent literally pull out of a junction without even looking and I had to emergency stop yesterday to avoid a head on collision, all because he wasn’t paying attention. Perhaps the ones who are supposed to be the most experienced and “safest” should be looked at first, not the new drivers who essentially are safer as they’ve had to go through a lot more just to obtain their licence.
@@okaychloe7195 Whether you're in a petrol or a diesel, that should not affect your ability to use gears. Looking down at gears is what beginner learners do. Most of the time, it IS the learner who wants to have their test before they're even ready. I dont know any instructor who tells a learner to get a test. If anything, they want to keep taking your money until you realise you're good enough to get a test. Yes old people can be a danger on the road too but that has no relevance to what i said about young drivers. The girl in the video had no control over the car at times. Zooming around bends. Probably has her foot still on the clutch. If that's not dangerous, I dont know what is.
@@Anonymous-iv9cz where do you get statistics from? Simply not true. You made them up. And you say you're 18 and you passed when you were 18, so you have not been driving long at all. No offence, but you're a kid at 18.
Touching the kerb in Lithuania is a serious driving fault. On the final test I touched the kerb and the instructor even told me to get away from the wheel and we had to change seats, so he drove me back to to examining place AND ALL THIS JUST BECAUSE I TOUCHED THE KERB.
I have no experience with the test (or driving) in Lithuania (although I hope one day to visit, along with the other Baltic countries). In the UK, how touching the kerb affects your driving test is handled depending on the examiner. There are a list of driving elements that are divided into serious faults and minor faults. Touching the kerb comes under the broader category of car control. Many examiners will take into consideration other things that are happening at the same time. For example, gently touch the kerb when pulling up the the side of the road, but there are no pedestrians or other drivers around, what many examiners will do is get you to pull up by the side of the road several more times. If it was a single occurrence it will likely remain a minor fault in the car control column. If you gently touch the kerb every time, you are very likely to be given a serious fault for car control (which would be a failing mark). If in the same scenario when you first touch the kerb, there was a pedestrian walking on the pavement near the vehicle at the time, some examiners will immediately mark that as a serious fault, causing a failed test, because of the added danger to the pedestrian. If you touch the kerb during normal driving (so not when parking or maneuvers), examiners are more likely to mark that as a serious fault. The reason being that it demonstrates a lack of control under normal driving conditions, and that kerb could instead have been another vehicle that was there. So the lack of car control and lane discipline could have caused a serious situation, especially if we consider that possible vehicle could have been a bicycle, mobility vehicle, or a motorcycle. In the UK, whether a given fault causes you to fail is, for most examiners, a matter of context. If you haven't already passed a retest, I hope you do well on your retest. If you have, or when you do pass, I hope you have many kilometres of enjoyable driving ahead.
This channel completely changed my idea on some certain things I thought I was doing right and I passed my driving test yesterday. Congratulations to me
Definitely needs more lessons. I would probably recommend cancelling the driving test & get more lessons behind her. Better to be fully ready than waste money booking a test when not totally ready.
She wasn’t that bad tbh she could easily pass the test with a bit of luck. It’s a new car so she stalled and just practice the manoeuvres she’s got time
Also I don't agree with 8:50 that she should use 1st gear while approaching crossroad, I would never recommend to anyone to downshift to 1st prior reaching the crossroad.
@@KryptosatanTemnozor i mean if youre slow enough then 1st is definitely makes sense. second reason is she have limited vision on her right and she might have to creep forward to check for clearance and therefore 1st would help more as compared to having 2nd or if you would argue for 3rd. another reason is that she's on a slight slope anyways so 1st would help as well.
Passed the other day for the first time. I got in the car and I literally tried to move off while the handbrake was on. As soon as i started driving all my nerves disappeared. I knew i was prepared for any situation but i still had those starting nerves. You will. There is no way to not. But they go as soon as you start driving.
Was the same for me with the lessons. Nervous as hell before I get in the car, but after that I'm too focused on what I'm doing to even think about nervousness. Once I got good enough to not need to be extremely focused I was already pretty comfortable driving. Then again I've never driven after I passed...
At low speed in a manual car like, at 14:20 you should never lift your foot off the clutch completely, that's the simplest way to stall your car. Also just practice not looking down to change gears, the reason for swerving in lanes, if you shift to wrong gears, big woop. Making mistakes is the fastest way to learn. Clutch control and shifting just comes to you with practice, just keep on it.
Poor girl- she took all the stalling and rolling back well, but surely someone needed to let her know she wasn't remotely ready for this mock test. Good luck to her, her resilience will go a long way 🙏
Don’t mean to be too harsh but she is obviously nowhere near ready for test. Why is her instructor recommending it to her? There is a huge backlog of tests around the country and unless a complete miracle happens, she will obviously not pass. Not blaming her at all but her instructor should not be telling her to book a test.
It's crazy how she thought she was ready for her road test.. hehe.. Another thing: you didn't mention her steering when she was trying to parallel park...!
I passed today first time with 6 minors. These videos had been immensely useful and the ultimate driving course. If anything it is just extra learning supplementation and extra road practice of learning through mistakes.
Hi there, I just want to let you know that your videos were very helpful to passing my driving test on the first try. Thank you for your videos, and keep up the good work ❤❤❤❤
I passed first time today and impressed my examiner with just 1 minor fault ( reverse park, was not really in the centre) otherwise " it was a very good driving " the examiner said to me. Thanks to your amazing videos and your effort in making them!!! You are amazing how well you explain everything! I feel very happy achieving this milestone ( having 2 little kids around) You make students being successful and happy! God Bless you !!!
I love when he talks about hill starts and that it's not about the test but real world driving. Too many people just want the ability to drive rather than learning properly so you don't become a hazard on the road. Also, the UK has rubbish roads like here in Sydney. It's already bad here but UK roads are so much more narrow. I feel bad for any learner driver.
UK driving is wayyyy harder than in America. Makes our roads look so big and simple. Parked cars taking up entire lanes seems terrifying for a new driver.
G’day from Aus. I have a question for you Brits: how much experience do you need to pass on from your learners? In my state you need 80 hours (incl. 15 night hours) with a supervised driver and hold your L’s for 12 consecutive months, and even then you get people who shouldn’t pass progress to a solo license. Even still I like these videos because I am a volunteer mentor driver in my community for people who are disadvantaged, and while obviously cannot use these videos for the road rules, I observe how Pin is with his learner’s and try to emulate the same constructive criticism with mine. Keep it up mate 👍🏻
I did about 35 hours all together with an instructor, but also had a car myself to practice in. I personally wanted to feel completely ready before passing my test but i know this is about the average.
It's mostly down to when your instructor feels you're ready to take the test. However, you will have to pass your theory test before doing your practical test.
There is no requirement on the hours. They do say the amount of hours is roughly your age + 5. So a younger person age 18 would need roughly 23 hours. An older person like myself being 39 would need roughly 44 hours. This often seems quite accurate as younger people can of course learn things alot quicker.
i feel really bad for her, I've finally past my test 3rd time lucky had no minors but on the second time i was 2 roundabouts away from the test centre with a clean sheet i just panicked and messed it up. its so stressful especially for people who arn't as confident as others.
I've watched most of the videos - really helped me with my driving and my driving test. Passed 2nd time yesterday. Totally recommend the ultimate driving course too!
Driving in a new car is truly special, the gas super strong, the brake pedals are massively more effective and the dimensions of the car is something to get used to. I had to book lessons because my dads car had the worst brakes and the gas was required a different feel which I was accustomed to.
Im officially part of the ones that passed their test but still watches these mock tests 🙌🏼

It's scary when examiners don't smile and you can't tell if you're making a mistake or doing fine.

You don't need to use the handbrake. Just use foot brake and get the clutch to the biting point, release the foot brake and give the car gas
She can defo drive. Needs to practice manoeuvres and she’ll be completely fine. You need to remember she’s never drove that car before so that could explain her stalling. I’ve passed my test and I avoid parallel parking all the time. She’ll be fine
Avoiding it won't help you...
@@nyquist_control I agree why would you avoid parallel parking ?
I could parallel park perfectly in my instructors car, but my cars bigger so I still struggle with any parking that isn’t reverse park 😂 I try it now and again but only if I’m by myself hahah
@@lxwx2029 it's an essential skill right? I guess that's why lots of people can't park properly...
Depends on where you live tho. You don’t always need parallel parking.
Oh, bless her.
I imagine how I was in those situations
She will get there eventually
Passed my test on Wednesday with 2 minors! The mock tests and driving course were really helpful and now I can watch these videos in peace :)
Yo we legit had the same, had it on 23rd and got 2 minors
You go girl you can do it. We 've all been there
I passed first time on Monday with 3 minors, still love watching your videos, good luck guys xx
This man is the reason im doing really well during my lessons mad respect ❤️
been driving for over 20 years and yet I'm addicted to watching these.
8:48 The reason for the stalling for the new drivers. Too fast off the clutch, not setting enough revs when moving off and when changing gears you need to build up speed more before changing up to the next one.
Bless her, she is cute and very polite. Nerves got the better of her here, new car, new area, the camera etc.
I had my driving test today and I have been watching your videos throughout my learning. I passed today with not a single minor.
Totally feel for her. She is a good driver but her nerves and a new car seemed to throw her off. I hope she passes her test!
Pin is just so amazing. Calm, respectful and collective.
Watched all your videos for the last few months and even though I've been driving for 12 years, I think more. And have helped my sister a lot more because she's a nervous driver so your videos do help so much for people :)
Thank you for watching the channel
Suzy did really well to come back from those hill starts. If it were me, I’d want to stop, but she was really brave to persevere and follow through. Hope she’s now passed
I passed mine yesterday so I can relax and watch these videos now 😂
Congratulations man, the feeling is amazing.
I pass my 3 weeks ago and it's still nice to watch. It does feel like I pass ages ago however
@@ButterflySimmer haha yes once you pass a test it feels like you have passed your driving ages ago 🤣
@@Iamsheery yeah me and my friend pass in the same week and be both say it feels like years ago 🤣.
I feel like a lot of learners go for their test way too early... she clearly needs more time before her test. Good luck to her though!
@Versa🦋 fatherless behavior
with the back logs still present after covid i’m not surprised everyone’s booking them asap cause there’s such a long waiting time still for a test
i agree
With a bit of luck she can pass. Most of her serious was due to the car which she’s never drove before
@@aidaskaulakis9502 Muslim remark
I am also now finally one of those viewers that still watches after passing, passed a couple of weeks ago first time 6 minors.
Its so true what they say about the real learning starts once you pass, I must be honest and say that I have been struggling a bit in my own car and am yet to feel confident enough I can drive on my own.
Going on what you was saying about you shouldnt just learn stuff for your test I totally agree I find myself a little disappointed as I am not confident on hills niether can I actually park in realistic conditions so it's causing me some issues and not helping my confidence so much I've even had an extra lesson when I passed.
What's makes you nervous while driving uphill? Its about clutch control. Try driving more as women often don't prefer driving and it's more of a privilege for them than an interest or passion. Also the spatial judgement and reflex do play a bog role as well
@@sumeetghai8867 feel your comment was a little bit sexist there to be honest, but yes it's down to my clutch control on hills so I'm trying to get more practice.
@@nataliedebiase5089 no not intend to be a chauvinist in any sense of it has come across this way. It just that women don't prefer driving much in place where I live . They don't have a innate passion for it. It's more of a skill they attain to make life easier.
I agree, I just recently passed and I feel that I have learned more in 2 days being solo on the road than having an instructor present. Perhaps it’s because I am more of an independent learner rather than being instructed step-by-step - it just doesn’t help me unless I can take the time to absorb it by myself. Well done on passing!😊👍🏼
@@CoachingbyCade I'm still working on actually driving solo, not really done much been putting it off 😅 my confidence is increasing loads at the min tho so hopefully I will be able to take that step soon. You too, well done on passing yours! 😊
I passed my test 9 years ago and found this channel recently, I'm hooked! would of loved to have an instructor like you when I was learning
So refreshing to see a video of someone who also gets nervous and makes mistakes under pressure very relatable
1 week untill my test 🤞🏽🤞🏽
good luck x
Thank you! Xx
@@amyk7729 make sure to update if u pass :))
Good luck Amy 💖
Thank you!! Xx
When reversing steer the way you want to go, same as going forward. It's that simple, people over complicate it in thier heads, it's honestly not, just steer the way you want to go.
I think maybe another few lessons will be perfect for her and with these tips she’s learnt, and she will be more confident and ready to ace her test. It’s nerve racking on your driving test and it’s nerve racking especially if you’re in an unknown area and an unknown car. Best of luck Susie :)
She drives way to fast for someone of her skill level. Someone needs to tell her to slow down , and stop looking down everytime she changes gears.
@@thomasneedham1224 We’ve all been there tbh, that’s the point of lessons so she can learn how to stop bad habits when driving . She’s probs much better in the car she’s learning in!
I defenetly can relate. I'm still in beginner stage and I'm looking forward to improve. Good luck everyone!
Respect how she still keeps her cool even when she makes a mistake such an important quality especially when driving
I look forward more to that “HOORAY😄” than the actual mock test😂
Im hoping somebody can explain to me why changing lanes early is a driving fault? As long as it's done properly/safely it shouldn't be a problem.
it’s because you’d be preventing people from overtaking - she should’ve switched to the right lane a bit before approaching her turn, not as far away as she did
I did buy your ultimate driving course but I'll be honest I was so busy so I only got a chance to watch a few videos from it but I passed my automatic test yesterday first time with just 2 minors. Definitely been watching your channel and it's really good. Glad I'm finished with this driving test stuff now.
Considering different car, city instructor and being on camera. She didn't do too bad! Just needs to be more confident with her controls instead of looking down and needs to apply the handbrake to control the car more! Great video and great instructing! 👍
Interesting to see how mock tests work in other countries. In Romania we are taught that, every time you overtake an obstacle or parked vehicle, cyclist, etc, you have to use the turn signal to indicate that you are overtaking something on your side of the road, especially if it forces you to cross the axis of the road and into the other lane which is meant for incoming traffic. That way the vehicle behind you can see your turn signal which suggest that there is an obstacle or hazard to avoid and can adjust his speed accordingly and in a timely manner.
Same way in Sweden, I don't think they do it in the UK because the roads are so small with cars parked everywhere.
What is the point of wearing a mask if you dont even tighten it and just keeps falling off your nose????
fashion I guess
Tbf we don’t have to wear them anymore and sometimes it slips and you don’t notice she was prolly stressed out.
Just dont wear one
@@brittany1370 then just don’t wear it 😂😂 tf
Thank you so much for these videos! I had a fear of roads and driving. And now I'm confident and calm during my driving lessons.
it is such a great feeling watching your videos now that i have my license! I`ve passed 1st time few months ago but i still watch your videos sometimes...goog luck everyone who is still in driving school!
I'm not sure why she thought she was ready, most learners need at least 30 hours or more before going for a test. It definitely shows that shes only had 20 hours, keep going and practice more and you will get there x
i had 15 hours passed with 1 minor?
It really depends on the person and how quickly they can grasp things and how good their hand eye coordination is plus some people simply perform poorly in pressurised situation that aren't comfortable with, she may have been a perfect driver with her own instructor
30 😳
My part if the world I need 120 (mandatory and 20 are night time) before I can go for my test
Some learners are fortunate to take lessons from family or friends before professional learning comes to play so they have an advantage.
i have watched loads of the videos you have posted and im really surprised by the amount of patience you have when with these learners, ive only just passed and would love to take part in a video but i live far away from where you do these
Pin you are such an amazing instructor, love your videos and these mock test are so helpful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
You will get there in the end keep on going....all these judgemental comments so unnecessary.
God bless u
This channel is always really interesting. I drive automatic, so seeing that this is all manual is great. I have always wanted to learn to drive manual to get that experience. Thank you for sharing. She did great with not giving up or stressing.
I don’t even know why ppl bother with manual when It’s so much less stressful and hassle - free driving in traffic to do automatic? Passed automatic and will never do manual in the city anyway
Haha If she can’t park on a hill or do hill starts, she’ll never be able to drive to Brighton.
Nobody should ever be looking at the gearstick - there’s no need to look at it because it’s always in the same place and the position of the gears (1st, 2nd etc) never changes.
the position of gears differs from car to car, do not assume. And to clarify this is Pin's car and not Suzy's, it would make perfect sense since she wouldn't be familiar with the vehicle because it's not hers to begin with.
Looking down at gears is very dangerous, and its a sign shes a beginner learner or not had enough time on the road. Clutch control is also amateur. And her observations. No matter what car youre in, gears and clutch control should be managed easily if youre truly ready to be on the road. Young people think if they've had 20 lessons they're ready for a licence, but there's so much with driving that you have to master before you're a safe and competent driver. Checking mirrors to tick a box for the instructor is what we do when we learn, but knowing why we're checking the mirror is crucial. I think the age limit for driving should be raised.
I’m 18, passed when I was 18 and I’m completely fine. Most people I know have passed and are 18 and they’ve passed for nearly a year, no one’s crashed, had a penalty point etc. most dangerous drivers are people aged 20-40. Your just being stereotypical
Plus those people got 0-3 faults
I think you’re generalising a little much in this comment. When you drive a new car it takes a little while to become used to the clutch, I learnt in a diesel and my cars a petrol which, for me, are quite different especially when it comes to moving off, that doesn’t mean I wasn’t ready to drive. It isn’t even the learner who suggests going for their practical, it’s the instructor (most of the time).
Since I’ve been on the road, I can tell you that it isn’t us “young people” who are the danger, I actually had an older gent literally pull out of a junction without even looking and I had to emergency stop yesterday to avoid a head on collision, all because he wasn’t paying attention.
Perhaps the ones who are supposed to be the most experienced and “safest” should be looked at first, not the new drivers who essentially are safer as they’ve had to go through a lot more just to obtain their licence.
@@okaychloe7195 Whether you're in a petrol or a diesel, that should not affect your ability to use gears. Looking down at gears is what beginner learners do. Most of the time, it IS the learner who wants to have their test before they're even ready. I dont know any instructor who tells a learner to get a test. If anything, they want to keep taking your money until you realise you're good enough to get a test. Yes old people can be a danger on the road too but that has no relevance to what i said about young drivers. The girl in the video had no control over the car at times. Zooming around bends. Probably has her foot still on the clutch. If that's not dangerous, I dont know what is.
@@Anonymous-iv9cz where do you get statistics from? Simply not true. You made them up. And you say you're 18 and you passed when you were 18, so you have not been driving long at all. No offence, but you're a kid at 18.
Touching the kerb in Lithuania is a serious driving fault. On the final test I touched the kerb and the instructor even told me to get away from the wheel and we had to change seats, so he drove me back to to examining place AND ALL THIS JUST BECAUSE I TOUCHED THE KERB.
Yeah I wasn’t there but usually instructors do that when they think you’re not driving safely, maybe touching the curb was the final straw
@@maddestruction1 Well after that he said that it was my first fault
I have no experience with the test (or driving) in Lithuania (although I hope one day to visit, along with the other Baltic countries).
In the UK, how touching the kerb affects your driving test is handled depending on the examiner. There are a list of driving elements that are divided into serious faults and minor faults. Touching the kerb comes under the broader category of car control.
Many examiners will take into consideration other things that are happening at the same time. For example, gently touch the kerb when pulling up the the side of the road, but there are no pedestrians or other drivers around, what many examiners will do is get you to pull up by the side of the road several more times. If it was a single occurrence it will likely remain a minor fault in the car control column. If you gently touch the kerb every time, you are very likely to be given a serious fault for car control (which would be a failing mark).
If in the same scenario when you first touch the kerb, there was a pedestrian walking on the pavement near the vehicle at the time, some examiners will immediately mark that as a serious fault, causing a failed test, because of the added danger to the pedestrian.
If you touch the kerb during normal driving (so not when parking or maneuvers), examiners are more likely to mark that as a serious fault. The reason being that it demonstrates a lack of control under normal driving conditions, and that kerb could instead have been another vehicle that was there. So the lack of car control and lane discipline could have caused a serious situation, especially if we consider that possible vehicle could have been a bicycle, mobility vehicle, or a motorcycle.
In the UK, whether a given fault causes you to fail is, for most examiners, a matter of context.
If you haven't already passed a retest, I hope you do well on your retest. If you have, or when you do pass, I hope you have many kilometres of enjoyable driving ahead.
@@damionlee7658 Thank you for your answer! Appreciate that
@@nezinaunieko2227 I personally don't really believe that. There must be happenend things before if he already took the seat over.
She was lovely though
This channel completely changed my idea on some certain things I thought I was doing right and I passed my driving test yesterday. Congratulations to me
Definitely needs more lessons. I would probably recommend cancelling the driving test & get more lessons behind her. Better to be fully ready than waste money booking a test when not totally ready.
She wasn’t that bad tbh she could easily pass the test with a bit of luck. It’s a new car so she stalled and just practice the manoeuvres she’s got time
Shes definitely not ready for the actual test. I can tell she's really nervous and lacking confidence specifically with hills
passed last friday with ZERO faults! still watching these :)))
8:06
Pin dying inside as his wheels and neck get annihilated
Awww she's so cute you want her to pass, bless her when she asked for help.
Bless her, I really felt for her , but keep it up Suzy you'll get there
First driving fault is her jacket, you shouldn't wear such kind of clothes in the car as it limits your movement and messes with seatbelts.
Also I don't agree with 8:50 that she should use 1st gear while approaching crossroad, I would never recommend to anyone to downshift to 1st prior reaching the crossroad.
@@KryptosatanTemnozor i mean if youre slow enough then 1st is definitely makes sense. second reason is she have limited vision on her right and she might have to creep forward to check for clearance and therefore 1st would help more as compared to having 2nd or if you would argue for 3rd. another reason is that she's on a slight slope anyways so 1st would help as well.
Passed my test today with 2 minors, watching these videos help me know the ins and outs of the driving test so thanks very much mate✅✅
Me tooo
Passed the other day for the first time. I got in the car and I literally tried to move off while the handbrake was on.
As soon as i started driving all my nerves disappeared. I knew i was prepared for any situation but i still had those starting nerves. You will. There is no way to not. But they go as soon as you start driving.
I have my test tomorrow, the idea of the nerves disappearing like you said has put me a little bit more at ease, thanks for that ahahaha
@@Harryfoulger7 how'd you do?
@@Harryfoulger7 yes update us!
@@Harryfoulger7 did you pass?
Was the same for me with the lessons. Nervous as hell before I get in the car, but after that I'm too focused on what I'm doing to even think about nervousness. Once I got good enough to not need to be extremely focused I was already pretty comfortable driving. Then again I've never driven after I passed...
At low speed in a manual car like, at 14:20 you should never lift your foot off the clutch completely, that's the simplest way to stall your car. Also just practice not looking down to change gears, the reason for swerving in lanes, if you shift to wrong gears, big woop. Making mistakes is the fastest way to learn. Clutch control and shifting just comes to you with practice, just keep on it.
Why is she looking down at all? The gearstick hasn’t moved to another part of the car. She should know where it is by now.
her observations during those stalls was HORRENDOUS!
Here before nightmatre change
Nightmatre change?
Poor girl- she took all the stalling and rolling back well, but surely someone needed to let her know she wasn't remotely ready for this mock test. Good luck to her, her resilience will go a long way 🙏
This guy is the reason I passed 3 years ago I lived in London now moved to the west midlands his amazing and got some really good vids
I don’t know about driving instructors in England but I know in Ireland on a hill we are told ALWAYS to use the handbrake.
I agree. I don’t understand why she hasn’t been taught that. The “hill” in this video wasn’t even a hill at all, just a gentle slope.
Don’t mean to be too harsh but she is obviously nowhere near ready for test. Why is her instructor recommending it to her? There is a huge backlog of tests around the country and unless a complete miracle happens, she will obviously not pass. Not blaming her at all but her instructor should not be telling her to book a test.
It's crazy how she thought she was ready for her road test.. hehe..
Another thing: you didn't mention her steering when she was trying to parallel park...!
probably because she didnt want to be embarrassed, so big up pin
She is looking down while changing gears. VERY DANGEROUS
True
I passed today first time with 6 minors. These videos had been immensely useful and the ultimate driving course. If anything it is just extra learning supplementation and extra road practice of learning through mistakes.

Hi there, I just want to let you know that your videos were very helpful to passing my driving test on the first try. Thank you for your videos, and keep up the good work ❤❤❤❤
I passed first time today and impressed my examiner with just 1 minor fault ( reverse park, was not really in the centre) otherwise " it was a very good driving " the examiner said to me. Thanks to your amazing videos and your effort in making them!!! You are amazing how well you explain everything! I feel very happy achieving this milestone ( having 2 little kids around) You make students being successful and happy! God Bless you !!!
7:49 If that’s considered turning too fast you would HATE to see me 💀 lord
Thank you Dgn, i watched most of your videos n they helped. Passed 1st time
I love when he talks about hill starts and that it's not about the test but real world driving. Too many people just want the ability to drive rather than learning properly so you don't become a hazard on the road.
Also, the UK has rubbish roads like here in Sydney. It's already bad here but UK roads are so much more narrow. I feel bad for any learner driver.
UK driving is wayyyy harder than in America. Makes our roads look so big and simple. Parked cars taking up entire lanes seems terrifying for a new driver.
Why are these drivers who stall, and start rolling back, not told to apply the handbrake, restart the car, then pull away off the handbrake?
Eeee I’ve been in her situation. I totally feel her stress. Bless her. X I’m now one of the passed drivers watching these still
G’day from Aus. I have a question for you Brits: how much experience do you need to pass on from your learners? In my state you need 80 hours (incl. 15 night hours) with a supervised driver and hold your L’s for 12 consecutive months, and even then you get people who shouldn’t pass progress to a solo license.
Even still I like these videos because I am a volunteer mentor driver in my community for people who are disadvantaged, and while obviously cannot use these videos for the road rules, I observe how Pin is with his learner’s and try to emulate the same constructive criticism with mine. Keep it up mate 👍🏻
There's no required amount of experience, as long as you pass the test you'll get your full licence.
I did about 35 hours all together with an instructor, but also had a car myself to practice in. I personally wanted to feel completely ready before passing my test but i know this is about the average.
It's mostly down to when your instructor feels you're ready to take the test. However, you will have to pass your theory test before doing your practical test.
in my state (Victoria) the minimum hours you need as a learners driver is 120hrs before you can get your P’s 🥲
There is no requirement on the hours. They do say the amount of hours is roughly your age + 5. So a younger person age 18 would need roughly 23 hours. An older person like myself being 39 would need roughly 44 hours. This often seems quite accurate as younger people can of course learn things alot quicker.
i feel really bad for her, I've finally past my test 3rd time lucky had no minors but on the second time i was 2 roundabouts away from the test centre with a clean sheet i just panicked and messed it up. its so stressful especially for people who arn't as confident as others.
I've watched most of the videos - really helped me with my driving and my driving test. Passed 2nd time yesterday. Totally recommend the ultimate driving course too!
She seems lovely! Good luck to her

Driving in a new car is truly special, the gas super strong, the brake pedals are massively more effective and the dimensions of the car is something to get used to. I had to book lessons because my dads car had the worst brakes and the gas was required a different feel which I was accustomed to.
Having more confidence in using the handbrake would’ve probably helped out in a lot of the situations to do with uphill stalls
What’s the point in even wearing that mask 😭

Good luck to people out there about to take their driving test. I know how stressful and nerve wracking it can be.
