Hey guys, I have now added a Free to Access Theory Section to the Ultimate Driving Course and I’ve unlocked the first 10 videos on the Ultimate Driving Course for both Automatic and Manual courses. ultimatedrivingcourse.com
Love your channel brother! 😊 learning so much. I'm still a newbie with my lessons but I am hopeful with your course and channel I will learn new skills and techniques! Thanks for your awesome work ❤
I had an instructor like hers previously, turns out I wasn’t the only victim! She was a horrible lady, tore down my confidence and just milked me for my money. So glad I left and got another instructor. Certain instructors need to be BANNED from teaching, there should be a way to filter the rude ones from good actual teachers!
I did have one. Spent more than 2000 with her. All she did was messed up with my confidence. I moved to another instructor then I’m looking forward to my practical test now .
I think, with how quickly she understands and picks up your comments, the instructor should be looking in the mirror for the one at fault. 2hours with a GOOD (you) instructor and she's ready. imo
Not many instructors like this as they see it as you just renting their car for the test, but I recommend finding an instructor that teaches properly and doing the test as soon as you can. Or, practice in your own car/family and take that car to the soonest test.
I feel so sorry for her. I can't imagine what that must feel like - putting in all that money and work to be refused the car. My instructor didn't offer me the car until I did two 'reasonably good' drives. Still had some faults even up to the test. I passed yesterday with no minors!
What a lovely woman! I had A LOT of driving lessons I’m not sure how many hours. I stopped counting but I can say I’ve spent nearly £3000 on 4 different instructors and including 4 tests 😂 don’t stress Ma & yes I finally recently passed June 2024 after beginning my driving journey 2020 ❤
I had a mock test at 40 hours and even then i didnt have confidence. I then did 20 hours in 2 weeks to be test ready and DVSA cancelled it. Got another scheduled a month after in a new test center so i booked 14 more hours in that month to prepare. It was a blessing in disguise because the area is further from me and there are higher speed dual carriageway and slip roads and my driving got more refined and confident. So im over 70 hours now. Every hour spent has contributed to my experience. So don't be fussed about the 100 hours and I hope you get a test soon and pass.
That is definitely a lot of hours. Personally i passed my driving test on the first try after 12 hours of driving lessons (Finland). Our minimum is 10 hours, so i needed extra 2 hours.
@@ramijohteinen5034 I'm guessing you are comfortable on the roads. Many people with road experience don't take very long. I'm a complete beginner, so car controls and most importantly road rules and then just getting exposed to other road users.
@@ramijohteinen5034 Here test routes are really tricky and it's 45 minutes!. UK pass rate is very low as well. There are so many other things contributes too. If you fail it doesn't mean that you are a bad driver. To be a competent driver, dvsa recommend more than 40 hours.
I had an instructor like hers! I had done 45 hours of lessons, and no mock test/test routes despite being ready. She never made any comments on my progress, how well I was doing or what I needed to improve and didn't explain why I kept stalling - turns out she was teaching me to just use the clutch too. Thankfully, she failed her test and lost her ability to be a driving instructor, so I had to get a new one. He was brilliant, and boosted my confidence so so much.
I asked my instructor yesterday if I can put the gas while on baiting point like in other cars for faster starting off but he said I have to fully release clutch before pressing accelerator as his car is like this (Seat Leon 2020). I can understand her fully why she struggles so much with starting off while she was learnt different technique.
@@mafijaaawith a manual transmission car, you have to slip the clutch, that's how you get going from a stop. Adding gas gives you more power, and you can let out the clutch sooner once the rpm's match. Mayhe your instructor might have thought you wanted to slip the clutch when already moving, known as riding the clutch. This puts extra wear on the clutch and throwout bearing. If you add enough power while riding the clutch that it starts slipping, you can overheat the clutch or prematurely wear it out, and that's what you want to avoid. Off the line? It's encouraged and go right ahead, unless you have a low enough first gear and you don't need gas to get going without stalling.
I feel so sorry for her, that instructor needs retraining, how did she let a pupil get to 100 hours without teaching her gas before clutch? that is first lesson kind of stuff, the majority of her hesitation, slow move off and hill issues were caused by this easily fixable thing, and it isn't her fault, you can't know what you don't know and it's on the instructor to teach her.
It's quite a common occurrence it seems, I think the car they're used to driving in didn't require any gas before clutch when taking off, most likely a diesel a car.
@@xKayNee I wish it wasn't because it's poor instruction, it's easily noticable when a student is doing this just by looking at the pedals and also their rate of acceleration, so it's clear that the instructor was fine with her doing this method, the goal should be to make a good driver in all cars, not just a passable driver in diesel and high torque petrol cars only.
I’m on the same page as her at the moment. My previous instructor was horrible and even this one shouts and keeps shouting things over done wrong even after I’ve noted the mistake. It makes me really uncomfortable and nervous but all the hours I’ve spent have contributed to the person I am now so i’m going to pass and prove both my instructors wrong. I think some driving instructors forget that the learning process is very different for everyone and people can actually be traumatised from their behaviour.
I had done over 70 hrs with the same instructor, without arranging me a mock test but telling me I was still not up to standard. So I quitted and booked driving test for 3rd times. I finally passed my test by first attempt after having 7.5 hrs lessons from another instructor. I should have passed it after 45 hrs lesson.
Managed to pass my test on Tuesday with 4 minor faults after 22 hours over 6 weeks with an instructor. I honestly couldn't believe it! Feels strange watching these videos now but they're still very entertaining and informational (good luck to anyone that has their test coming up, you can do it!)
Usually I find people who talk that much annoying, but she was weirdly funny and friendly so I didn't mind it at all ,, DON'T STALL DON'T STALL IN THE NAME OF JESUS!!!" that was funny as hell😂😂😂🤣
Girl, I had a terrible instructor about 10 years ago. He was an ex-army sergeant and would be shouting at me constantly I was a nervous wreck and I was so scared of him. He would find it funny to scare me. He would allow me to roll backwards down a hill bear in mind it was my first week of lessons so I was still trying to learn the gear stick etc and feel somewhat comfortable in the car. It traumatised me lol. It has taken me 10 years to get back into lessons again. I now have a wonderful instructor. He's a cool calm guy and makes me feel relaxed. I'm hopeful I will finally succeed with my driving. I'm doing well so far and more importantly i am finally enjoying lessons again! I love this channel ❤ You've got this girl! Goodluck
I think it is ridiculous that she didn't let you take the test, considering you paid for it. (Why did she let you book before you were ready?) I would rather do the test and fail than lose the money, since it is experience and you get an email telling you all the faults you were making. The average is definitely less than 50 hours. That instructor was just taking her money for all she could get. If your student is not improving, you're failing them and should change up your methods to get it to sink in for them. (Some people as we have seen, are beyond even Pin's help, true, but that's not most people.)
If it's the instructors car they get final word whether they let you use their car for the test unfortunately. But her instructor was out of order, should have done a mock test the week before and rescheduled if she wasn't ready. Poor lady must be so frustrated making the same mistakes over and over. I know I've been there. I feel her pain.
Great driving and she’s a good driver and she clearly enjoys it which is a benefit! Thanks as always for the great content Pin! Keep up the great work!
I had ths same experience with a horrible instructor. He teach me pretty well with basic stuff, he was giving out good information. However, he felt offended and insulted if i asked what i wanted to work on the most or i want to go somewhere and learn something new. He felt so offended, he would insult me by his emotions. One time i asked him a simple question, he was showing his anger, rudeness towards me just for something that i asked. He told me that i should get my own car, and he will be in it, he won't use his because he pays insurance and all that stuff. I paid him to teach me not him telling me to use my own stuff he was really rude. Whenever i do a mistake on my driving, he would call me names such as "what's wrong with you man" "man" he was showing pure aggressive towards me for no reason. He makes feel unpleasant and uncomfortable the way he behaviors towards me.
I’ve had this before and it’s a horrible experience when an instructor leads you onto believing your ready and then drops you in it last minute. Completely unfair and it’s even worse when the instructor is shouting at you when you don’t know how to do things before the test. So many poor instructors that just go for easy passes. Very few good instructors around. Not enough thorough knowledgeable instructors either that genuinely want to help people pass. I sound critical but it is true the quality of instructor is so important and most just want to take your money without thorough instruction
I’ve also done around 100 hours. I’ve recently made the decision to change instructors and so far I’ve done 3 hours with my new instructor and I’m already improving significantly and feel so much more confident and comfortable in the car with him! Just wish I’d switched sooner because I really do think I’d have been ready for test much sooner if I had a different instructor.
it shows that the instructor wanted more money, if you are at this point i guess do not cancel the test, the instructor do not have anything to lose. If you been driving for that amount if time and you know what you have to do, you could feel better with the examiner that your instructor. The approach of a person make a big difference,
I also must have accumulated over 100 hours of lessons before passing my driving exam! I cannot say anything bad about my instructor, he was very chill, very patient with me. But I am a very nervous and anxious person and I failed my driving exam 4 times. Every time I failed was... very bad. My leg would shake like hell and I had trouble controlling the clutch, I would get so nervous I could not focus, what I was seeing did not register... On the 3rd try, I was so terrified and checked out, I did not even leave the parking lot. :) In my country, you need 30 hours minimum in driving school to register for the exam. The practical driving test is only about 25 minutes and a lot less complicated than the UK one. If you fail you have to take 3 mandatory extra lessons during a waiting period of 3 weeks and then go to get rescheduled. After my 4th failed exam I think I racked up around 70-75 hours. That is when I told my instructor I am not going to reschedule as soon as the 3 weeks waiting period ends. By that point it felt like every time I raced to get rescheduled and try again as soon as possible, all I was doing was signing up for more humiliation and trauma. :) So instead of signing up ASAP, for 2 months I took AS MANY LESSONS AS POSSIBLE till I got 100% comfortable behind the wheel and THEN I rescheduled. By the time I had to do it for the 5th time, while I was still nervous, I had learned the streets of the exam area by heart. It's a lot easier to focus when you don't actually need to focus, because you are performing manoeuvres automatically. At the same time I was going very very slow and taking a lot of time to perform observations. I almost could not believe it when the policeman told me I passed (with 3 minors I guess you could say). It felt like a dream. And all it took was 1 year, 5 attempts and around 2500 EUR. :) If you are in the process currently of trying to get your driver's license, believe me when I tell you that if I could do it, a 38 year old very clumsy very anxious person that never had the slightest interest in cars or driving till her late 30s... anybody can! Best of luck.
I have no idea who many hours it took me to pass, lockdowns didn't help either. Don't think it matters how long as long as your are improving each week.
I had the same experience with an instructor 🙄 switched to another one, booked another test and passed after 10 hrs with the new instructor. Really frustrating that I lost the fee, they couldve literally just told me the week before
Hi My name is Matin from Peterborough and I just passed on Friday and wanted to say a massive thank you for your great videos. In my opinion you are the best on RUclips by far so thank you again and keep this up!
Been watching these videos for just under a year, passed third time no minors and I’m such a better driver for this. Good luck to anyone taking theirs! 🎉
my instructor also taught me to only use the clutch to move off, it was a Ford Focus, maybe it's because of the model it was fine and add enough gas on its own After I passed my test few months ago I rent a Vauxhall Corsa and it has much less help so I stalled quite a lot at the beginning, but I was able to pick up the add gas technique quite fast in just a few days so I was quite happy with it
IMO her instructors car is diesel, which can move without any gas… Diesel engines are always pushing power through, quite a difference to a petrol car..
I'm curious - that left side-mounted camera works really well for the parking shots, but how have you fixed it to your car without it sticking out to dangerously, Pin?
16:26 bit harsh on the pupil saying she should have continued even though the blue car was indicating left (indicator might have been left on in error)
I think the hard stop was the deciding factor. Car behind forced to stop suddenly. The blue car was signalling meaning it was not coming across from the right. Traffic density here is so little, why time your approach for exactly when you are unsure of another road users intentions. Holding back or getting on with it is not difficult.
glad you taught her the right way to balance the clutch and accelerator!! her instructor is wrong for not teaching her that after so many driving lessons. i don’t understand why thats not being taught to learners
My instructor used to always tell me off for using clutch and gas then one day I stopped listening to her and followed my driving gut,now I have my license 😂 once u learn to stop stalling every else is much easier after that
I am wondering whether if her instructor's car is Diesel and Pin's is Petrol. My instructor's car is Petrol and I passed no issues. Car I bought is a Diesel. The thing with Diesel is that it has more torque at the low end. So even at a slight downhill or even moderate downhill, you can actually let the clutch go up the bite point and a Diesel car can hold it without stalling or going backwards. Without any brake or hand brake applied. or stop with the foot brake, and hold it on an inclined. And lift the clutch to the bite point and let go of the foot brake and again a Diesel car will hold it without brakes or gas and it won't roll back or stall. On steep inclined with passengers, you will have to handbrake gas + bite point and release hand brake. That is where the Clutch to bite point first before adding Gas comes from. Now if you do that on petrol, it will 100% stall unless you add Gas first.
I'm learning on a Diesel car (my test is in 3 days). She probably learning on a Diesel. Its kinda confusing if you watch videos where people approach crossroad in a 20mph limit road while you have to give way to your left,in Diesel even in 2nd gear i can fly through those roads without gas. If i want to be careful and not fail my test,sometimes i have to gear down to 1 to properly check into the road and be safe. Now on an uphill i cant start without accelerating,but thats because my lack of experience probably. Mind you i'm hungarian and we have a bit harder test and different traffic rules in some cases.
Even in a diesel you can't get away with no gas on any decent incline unless it's a high torque engine or the computer is adding revs for you (newer cars), and if it's seriously steep like a particularly bad multistory or worse then even those prerequisites won't help.
I’m nearly 60 hours into my lessons,my first test was cancelled because the examiner wasn’t able to do my test and I have another one coming up this week,no all of us get it within 20/30/40 hours I have adhd so I take a bit longer to learn things 💁🏼♀️
@@puzzlemagnet1957 don’t pressure yourself,it makes learning that tiny bit worse feeling the pressure to get in done within a certain amount of hours,go at your own pace you’ll get there,I’ve only just started feeling ready for my test,I have my last lesson today and then my test at the end of the week
@@courtjohns2630 yes you are right, my first lessons I did feel the pressure, but now that gears and clutch comes natural I am starting to enjoying it, big roundabouts and follow signals is what most worries me, the rest is just practice
Good driving, while most instructors are great some instructors really are money hungry, they can tell a student is ready though advice them from not taking or booking a test because it is more money in there pockets.
I think I trust my instructor , he offer his car for the exam at not extra cost, and I am sure he will tell me when I am ready since he has tons of people wating to get his lessons, so for him money will be the same if I pass or not,
I do think her Instructor was to blame for her issues. She took her money and then cancelled didn't even work on the issues. Most instructors would explain why and then say what the issues are and then taught her how to work on them
learning in a diesel car to then passing my test and getting my own Citroen c1 1l petrol car I’ve been struggling and has knocked my confidence so much 😢 but have learnt to accelerate first and then find the bite! I think she drove pretty well tbh
@@unimagin2ble same lol was a shock when I drove my car home for the first time 😂 and in the dark I ended up having a mental breakdown thinking I couldn’t drive 🤷♀️
Find some quiet street with a steep slope and practise. I had access to a field, and was practising with a petrol car, doing hill starts, and reverse hill starts for just 20 minutes. I did that before taking any lessons, so I had maybe 3 stalls in 30 hours of lessons in a diesel.
I just passed my practical test a few days ago with a diesel car but I still give enough accelerator as I move off. It's a good practice. Reason: to give engine more power and prevent it from gasping that might wear some of its parts.
Her instructor needs to be named and shamed! 100hrs of lessons and then u cancel the day before?! I hope she sees this comment, I want to be her friend she's hilarious! BEST OF LUCK WITH YOUR DRIVING JOURNEY ❤
Why did the instructor cancel the test when you know she will lose the money? At least let her take the test to find out where she is and give her experience for the test. Not cool.
There are so many instructors that teach moving off only with just the clutch . I know a lot of drivers that passed their test but then they get scared of driving their own car , because they keep stalling it ..
my instructor taught me the same in regards to the clutch/stalling. I sacked her off and now drive with my step dad. He's was disgusted at how little I progress and how much money she conned me out of. I am near test ready with him in 2 weeks.
There’s actually nothing wrong with setting off with the clutch pedal only I’ve done it loads of times in car parks where you don’t need to accelerate a lot I’ve also done it reversing it’s perfectly acceptable to use the clutch
@@aimee7244 Yeah or anywhere you want to set off fast my instructor taught me how to do it, but only in specific situations most of time you’ll need gas but I can reverse without needing to use the accelerator as long as it’s a flat road, I think the reason the instructor said it was wrong on this video was because it was a wide open road so you’ll want to get up to speed
I started lessons in 2019 then lockdown came then I had a baby so I've been doing lessons on and off for 5 years 😭 it would cripple me to find out how much I've spent on lessons
some drivers/instructions teach to put the gas and release the glutch simalteanously. Not just set the gas first then release the clutch. I feel like your method is better as it prevents stalling as you know how much gas to put beforehand so you cant stall on the basis of not putting enough gas. But do you know why people teach it that way?
Hello Pin just wanted to ask you about the method of getting to the biting point and then adding gas because I have had lessons with two different instructors and they taught me this method. I asked them why they don’t teach the method of setting the gas first but then they said it’s not good because it will make the car roll back especially on an uphill.
Hi mate. 👋 Is it ok to wait on a no stopping bus stop clearway with a wide yellow line along the kerb of the bus stop while in a stationary queue of traffic?
It’s enough 20 hours with Instructor , then you buy your car and drive with friends ( someone drive 3 years ) . I did like that . I never driver a car before but I passed in second time . If you do test with instructor more than 20 hours you are wasting on your money.
100 hours isn't that bad . I only had had 7 lessons, but I would have had about 100 plus hours of practice before my test. So even though I didn't have many lessons I definitely had plenty of practice. So 100 hours isn't that bad truthfully. I'm presuming you ain't getting practice outwith lessons. Your instructor should gave said sooner about issues
Is that a crack i spy on the windscreen? It looks like a star crack too... The really unfortunate thing is those basically compromise the integrity of the whole thing. And companies that could try to fix it would be held liable if it does break so they refuse star cracks :(
Id have said to that driving instructor so your going to give me the money back for you cancelling my test. If not its going ahead and if you dont provide your car you will be reported to the DVLA etc.
Hey I was wondering what you or people in the comments think on driving tests that says takes weeks to pass your test it’s like a fast course because everyone has different speeds of learning I’m very quick at picking stuff up so driving be fine it’s the written test I’d prob fail at because of my dyslexia and autism
IMO if a learner has had way over something silly like said 100 hours & still can’t grasp it then they probably shouldn’t ever be driving and also those who fail their test more than 5 times these are the types of people that crash within the first 6 months because they was never really made for it 🤷🏼♀️ not everyone can drive and that’s ok it’s just not meant for some people
Either that or they have a bad instructor, which seemed to be the case here. The instructor was telling her she wasn't ready to take a test when she was, so they could charge her for more hours probably
A done 1 hour lesson night beofre my test then 1 hour lesson that morning before my test a glad a done it because a probs wouldn’t of passed a passed February this year first time and a honestly tho a was going to fail 🤭

If your student is not improving, you're failing them and should change up your methods to get it to sink in for them. (Some people as we have seen, are beyond even Pin's help, true, but that's not most people.)
If it's the instructors car they get final word whether they let you use their car for the test unfortunately. But her instructor was out of order, should have done a mock test the week before and rescheduled if she wasn't ready. Poor lady must be so frustrated making the same mistakes over and over. I know I've been there. I feel her pain.
It doesn't even do anything good for a busy instructor. Conquer Driving made a video going over instructors and I highly reccomend watching the video
The video is from 2 weeks ago and is called "why 53% of driving tests fail in great Britain"
Great driving and she’s a good driver and she clearly enjoys it which is a benefit! Thanks as always for the great content Pin! Keep up the great work!
Thanks 👍
I had ths same experience with a horrible instructor. He teach me pretty well with basic stuff, he was giving out good information. However, he felt offended and insulted if i asked what i wanted to work on the most or i want to go somewhere and learn something new. He felt so offended, he would insult me by his emotions. One time i asked him a simple question, he was showing his anger, rudeness towards me just for something that i asked. He told me that i should get my own car, and he will be in it, he won't use his because he pays insurance and all that stuff. I paid him to teach me not him telling me to use my own stuff he was really rude. Whenever i do a mistake on my driving, he would call me names such as "what's wrong with you man" "man" he was showing pure aggressive towards me for no reason. He makes feel unpleasant and uncomfortable the way he behaviors towards me.
She’s so sweet she will pass in no time !! ❤❤
I’ve had this before and it’s a horrible experience when an instructor leads you onto believing your ready and then drops you in it last minute. Completely unfair and it’s even worse when the instructor is shouting at you when you don’t know how to do things before the test. So many poor instructors that just go for easy passes. Very few good instructors around. Not enough thorough knowledgeable instructors either that genuinely want to help people pass. I sound critical but it is true the quality of instructor is so important and most just want to take your money without thorough instruction
I’ve also done around 100 hours. I’ve recently made the decision to change instructors and so far I’ve done 3 hours with my new instructor and I’m already improving significantly and feel so much more confident and comfortable in the car with him! Just wish I’d switched sooner because I really do think I’d have been ready for test much sooner if I had a different instructor.
I passed my test today first time I was soo surprised, your videos really helped alot !
Congratulations 🎉❤
it shows that the instructor wanted more money, if you are at this point i guess do not cancel the test, the instructor do not have anything to lose. If you been driving for that amount if time and you know what you have to do, you could feel better with the examiner that your instructor. The approach of a person make a big difference,
I also must have accumulated over 100 hours of lessons before passing my driving exam! I cannot say anything bad about my instructor, he was very chill, very patient with me. But I am a very nervous and anxious person and I failed my driving exam 4 times. Every time I failed was... very bad. My leg would shake like hell and I had trouble controlling the clutch, I would get so nervous I could not focus, what I was seeing did not register... On the 3rd try, I was so terrified and checked out, I did not even leave the parking lot. :)
In my country, you need 30 hours minimum in driving school to register for the exam. The practical driving test is only about 25 minutes and a lot less complicated than the UK one. If you fail you have to take 3 mandatory extra lessons during a waiting period of 3 weeks and then go to get rescheduled.
After my 4th failed exam I think I racked up around 70-75 hours. That is when I told my instructor I am not going to reschedule as soon as the 3 weeks waiting period ends. By that point it felt like every time I raced to get rescheduled and try again as soon as possible, all I was doing was signing up for more humiliation and trauma. :) So instead of signing up ASAP, for 2 months I took AS MANY LESSONS AS POSSIBLE till I got 100% comfortable behind the wheel and THEN I rescheduled.
By the time I had to do it for the 5th time, while I was still nervous, I had learned the streets of the exam area by heart. It's a lot easier to focus when you don't actually need to focus, because you are performing manoeuvres automatically. At the same time I was going very very slow and taking a lot of time to perform observations.
I almost could not believe it when the policeman told me I passed (with 3 minors I guess you could say). It felt like a dream.
And all it took was 1 year, 5 attempts and around 2500 EUR. :)
If you are in the process currently of trying to get your driver's license, believe me when I tell you that if I could do it, a 38 year old very clumsy very anxious person that never had the slightest interest in cars or driving till her late 30s... anybody can! Best of luck.
her instructor finessed her for more money and honestly anyone can see why
I have no idea who many hours it took me to pass, lockdowns didn't help either. Don't think it matters how long as long as your are improving each week.
I had the same experience with an instructor 🙄 switched to another one, booked another test and passed after 10 hrs with the new instructor. Really frustrating that I lost the fee, they couldve literally just told me the week before
After 100 hours of driving with your driving instructor just drive like that I recommend to get support in the test
Hi My name is Matin from Peterborough and I just passed on Friday and wanted to say a massive thank you for your great videos. In my opinion you are the best on RUclips by far so thank you again and keep this up!
Congratulations and thank you 🙏🏾
I've been driving for 10 hours so far. I feel fairly confident I still have a lot to learn, but I really enjoy it. I could drive all day.
she's very sweet
She got beautiful big eyes ❤❤❤
Finally pin is back, I’ve missed his videos 😅.
anyone know what happened the past few weeks to him?
@@brianuuuSonicReborn Not to sure maybe he’s been on holiday.
Been watching these videos for just under a year, passed third time no minors and I’m such a better driver for this. Good luck to anyone taking theirs! 🎉
if she has not been taught how to move off in 100 hours of tuition she does not have a chance,,,,needs to change her instructor
my instructor also taught me to only use the clutch to move off, it was a Ford Focus, maybe it's because of the model it was fine and add enough gas on its own
After I passed my test few months ago I rent a Vauxhall Corsa and it has much less help so I stalled quite a lot at the beginning, but I was able to pick up the add gas technique quite fast in just a few days so I was quite happy with it
IMO her instructors car is diesel, which can move without any gas… Diesel engines are always pushing power through, quite a difference to a petrol car..
my instructor made me cry almost at every lesson.
Change it 😒 you paid him for learning how to drive, not how to cry 😖
She was soo funny 😭bless her, she’s a good driver she is ready
Passed my driving test on Wednesday. So weird and abit nerve wrecking getting used to driving on my own
Congratulations, yes driving on your own can be challenging at first
Are you still alive?
@@si223 very much so
I'm curious - that left side-mounted camera works really well for the parking shots, but how have you fixed it to your car without it sticking out to dangerously, Pin?
16:26 bit harsh on the pupil saying she should have continued even though the blue car was indicating left (indicator might have been left on in error)
I think the hard stop was the deciding factor. Car behind forced to stop suddenly. The blue car was signalling meaning it was not coming across from the right. Traffic density here is so little, why time your approach for exactly when you are unsure of another road users intentions. Holding back or getting on with it is not difficult.
glad you taught her the right way to balance the clutch and accelerator!! her instructor is wrong for not teaching her that after so many driving lessons. i don’t understand why thats not being taught to learners
My instructor used to always tell me off for using clutch and gas then one day I stopped listening to her and followed my driving gut,now I have my license 😂 once u learn to stop stalling every else is much easier after that
I am wondering whether if her instructor's car is Diesel and Pin's is Petrol.
My instructor's car is Petrol and I passed no issues.
Car I bought is a Diesel.
The thing with Diesel is that it has more torque at the low end. So even at a slight downhill or even moderate downhill, you can actually let the clutch go up the bite point and a Diesel car can hold it without stalling or going backwards. Without any brake or hand brake applied.
or stop with the foot brake, and hold it on an inclined. And lift the clutch to the bite point and let go of the foot brake and again a Diesel car will hold it without brakes or gas and it won't roll back or stall.
On steep inclined with passengers, you will have to handbrake gas + bite point and release hand brake.
That is where the Clutch to bite point first before adding Gas comes from.
Now if you do that on petrol, it will 100% stall unless you add Gas first.
I'm learning on a Diesel car (my test is in 3 days). She probably learning on a Diesel. Its kinda confusing if you watch videos where people approach crossroad in a 20mph limit road while you have to give way to your left,in Diesel even in 2nd gear i can fly through those roads without gas. If i want to be careful and not fail my test,sometimes i have to gear down to 1 to properly check into the road and be safe.
Now on an uphill i cant start without accelerating,but thats because my lack of experience probably. Mind you i'm hungarian and we have a bit harder test and different traffic rules in some cases.
Even in a diesel you can't get away with no gas on any decent incline unless it's a high torque engine or the computer is adding revs for you (newer cars), and if it's seriously steep like a particularly bad multistory or worse then even those prerequisites won't help.
When she says "this is depressing" I feel her cause learning how to drive for some people feels like an actual hell loop
I’m nearly 60 hours into my lessons,my first test was cancelled because the examiner wasn’t able to do my test and I have another one coming up this week,no all of us get it within 20/30/40 hours I have adhd so I take a bit longer to learn things 💁🏼♀️
I hope I dont need 60 hours I cant afford it, I done 22 and I feel I am doing really well, I have paid up to 42 hours, I hope I am ready by then
Good luck 🤞🏼
@@puzzlemagnet1957 don’t pressure yourself,it makes learning that tiny bit worse feeling the pressure to get in done within a certain amount of hours,go at your own pace you’ll get there,I’ve only just started feeling ready for my test,I have my last lesson today and then my test at the end of the week
@@courtjohns2630good luck, I have my test in January which is quite a long wait.
@@courtjohns2630 yes you are right, my first lessons I did feel the pressure, but now that gears and clutch comes natural I am starting to enjoying it, big roundabouts and follow signals is what most worries me, the rest is just practice
Good driving, while most instructors are great some instructors really are money hungry, they can tell a student is ready though advice them from not taking or booking a test because it is more money in there pockets.
I think I trust my instructor , he offer his car for the exam at not extra cost, and I am sure he will tell me when I am ready since he has tons of people wating to get his lessons, so for him money will be the same if I pass or not,
Sounds like she had a bad instructor.
Can we take any legal proceedings against this kinda instructor which she had ?? I had the same
I do think her Instructor was to blame for her issues. She took her money and then cancelled didn't even work on the issues. Most instructors would explain why and then say what the issues are and then taught her how to work on them
I’d have thought that after so many lessons she would have known to use the accelerator when moving off. Something very wrong there!
Thanx for your videos.they really helped a lot to me. I cleared my test in first attempt with one minor only....thanx to you man
Thank you for the videos. helped me a lot, and I passed my test today, the first time 6 minors. Thank you very much
so interesting to see the different techniques being taught that don't transfer over to other cars. she was great.
learning in a diesel car to then passing my test and getting my own Citroen c1 1l petrol car I’ve been struggling and has knocked my confidence so much 😢 but have learnt to accelerate first and then find the bite! I think she drove pretty well tbh
i never stalled in my instructor's diesel either but i stall frequently in my own petrol car. it takes getting used to, don't worry about it 😊😊
@@unimagin2ble same lol was a shock when I drove my car home for the first time 😂 and in the dark I ended up having a mental breakdown thinking I couldn’t drive 🤷♀️
Find some quiet street with a steep slope and practise.
I had access to a field, and was practising with a petrol car, doing hill starts, and reverse hill starts for just 20 minutes.
I did that before taking any lessons, so I had maybe 3 stalls in 30 hours of lessons in a diesel.
been missing you pin please upload more man
Back on it
I just passed my practical test a few days ago with a diesel car but I still give enough accelerator as I move off. It's a good practice.
Reason: to give engine more power and prevent it from gasping that might wear some of its parts.
i’ve been watching so many of these since passing😅😅❤
great video once again! my favourite learner driver is Alex followed by Tash
I feel like her instructor is scamming her
Genuinely seems like she needs a better instructor too.
I was taught to find the biting point first before pressing the throttle ..... that was 45 years ago though. 😉
Her instructor needs to be named and shamed! 100hrs of lessons and then u cancel the day before?!
I hope she sees this comment, I want to be her friend she's hilarious! BEST OF LUCK WITH YOUR DRIVING JOURNEY ❤
Why did the instructor cancel the test when you know she will lose the money? At least let her take the test to find out where she is and give her experience for the test. Not cool.
Where the hell you been DGN. Finally posed at after 3 weeks!!
Holidays maybe
Just a couple of weeks off 😀
unacceptable
important point was really a new thing to learn for me, though I passed my test I think theres still so much more to learn about UK roads hahaa:D
There are so many instructors that teach moving off only with just the clutch . I know a lot of drivers that passed their test but then they get scared of driving their own car , because they keep stalling it ..
I blame her previus driving instructor for chowing her cash....
It was nice to see you Wednesday I was coming out of Wednesfield market in the Red Seat Ateca
Yes I remember 😄
my instructor taught me the same in regards to the clutch/stalling. I sacked her off and now drive with my step dad. He's was disgusted at how little I progress and how much money she conned me out of. I am near test ready with him in 2 weeks.
There’s actually nothing wrong with setting off with the clutch pedal only I’ve done it loads of times in car parks where you don’t need to accelerate a lot I’ve also done it reversing it’s perfectly acceptable to use the clutch
@@Ll-ij2jh it is until your on hill or in a traffic jam and stalling
@@aimee7244 Yeah or anywhere you want to set off fast my instructor taught me how to do it, but only in specific situations most of time you’ll need gas but I can reverse without needing to use the accelerator as long as it’s a flat road, I think the reason the instructor said it was wrong on this video was because it was a wide open road so you’ll want to get up to speed
Hi pin. Thanks for the upload, any uploads coming soon ?kindly do a lesson on rev matching.
I started lessons in 2019 then lockdown came then I had a baby so I've been doing lessons on and off for 5 years 😭 it would cripple me to find out how much I've spent on lessons
some drivers/instructions teach to put the gas and release the glutch simalteanously. Not just set the gas first then release the clutch. I feel like your method is better as it prevents stalling as you know how much gas to put beforehand so you cant stall on the basis of not putting enough gas. But do you know why people teach it that way?
How do i book classes with you ?
I got a major fault for the exact same mistake made at 12:05 in my actual test 😭
5:30. Didnt move gear stick to check car was in neutral
My instructor also taught me to move off like that even up hills and its a petrol car so i had to teach myself to add gas (im still learning with him)
The Cap is Cool and your videos too
Hello Pin just wanted to ask you about the method of getting to the biting point and then adding gas because I have had lessons with two different instructors and they taught me this method. I asked them why they don’t teach the method of setting the gas first but then they said it’s not good because it will make the car roll back especially on an uphill.
Hi mate. 👋 Is it ok to wait on a no stopping bus stop clearway with a wide yellow line along the kerb of the bus stop while in a stationary queue of traffic?
If she has done over 100 hours, she has picked a really terrible instructor, sorry but thats the sad truth
12:30 cyclist almost got killed becarful and always open your eyes on the road as cyclist are very vulnerable road users
The cyclist went after her there were no cars coming towards them lmao
It’s enough 20 hours with Instructor , then you buy your car and drive with friends ( someone drive 3 years ) .
I did like that .
I never driver a car before but I passed in second time .
If you do test with instructor more than 20 hours you are wasting on your money.
100 hours isn't that bad . I only had had 7 lessons, but I would have had about 100 plus hours of practice before my test. So even though I didn't have many lessons I definitely had plenty of practice. So 100 hours isn't that bad truthfully. I'm presuming you ain't getting practice outwith lessons. Your instructor should gave said sooner about issues
Damn 100 hours of lessons and they taught her to pull away in the wrong way
in my car i can move off with just the clutch
At 19:20 how do you know that the 2nd exit is also left ?
19:46 the sign shows 2 exits to the left
Shame on her instructor telling her not to take the test after A HUNDRED hours of lessons even though she's a decent & safe driver
Got my test tomorrow wish me luck
Passed ?
Is that a crack i spy on the windscreen? It looks like a star crack too... The really unfortunate thing is those basically compromise the integrity of the whole thing. And companies that could try to fix it would be held liable if it does break so they refuse star cracks :(
Id have said to that driving instructor so your going to give me the money back for you cancelling my test. If not its going ahead and if you dont provide your car you will be reported to the DVLA etc.
Hey I was wondering what you or people in the comments think on driving tests that says takes weeks to pass your test it’s like a fast course because everyone has different speeds of learning I’m very quick at picking stuff up so driving be fine it’s the written test I’d prob fail at because of my dyslexia and autism
Passed today with 5 minors
congrats mate, what minors? and how many hours u did before exam? was it first time pass?
Has he had Ozempic?
IMO if a learner has had way over something silly like said 100 hours & still can’t grasp it then they probably shouldn’t ever be driving and also those who fail their test more than 5 times these are the types of people that crash within the first 6 months because they was never really made for it 🤷🏼♀️ not everyone can drive and that’s ok it’s just not meant for some people
Either that or they have a bad instructor, which seemed to be the case here. The instructor was telling her she wasn't ready to take a test when she was, so they could charge her for more hours probably
This girl drives perfectly fine. Pin has made the observation as a professional and pretty much proven you wrong.
if her driving instructor's car works with just clutch then if she used that car, she might have passed
A done 1 hour lesson night beofre my test then 1 hour lesson that morning before my test a glad a done it because a probs wouldn’t of passed a passed February this year first time and a honestly tho a was going to fail 🤭
