AJ seems like a really nice guy just needs a bit extra hours with his driving, good luck to him in a few weeks and hopefully that mock test showed him what he needs to improve on
Can finally say I'm part of the "passed but still watching" gang. Passed first time on Monday after 3 cancelled test over 2 years because of covid! Could never have done it without these videos. I even sent my instructor a link to the channel and he sends it out now with every update to his students! Now I'm so nervous to get in a car solo for the first time, any advice? Thank you so much!
@@Vlatco315 amazing well done! Our test centres were so backed up and my first theory test expired during the first lockdown 😖 even a theory test appointment I had to wait 4 months for! Nightmare haha. But it's finally over with! Congrats on passing 👏
It's normal to be nervous, try driving on familiar quiet wide roads. And always remember what you were taught and expect to make small mistakes such as stalling, it took me 12 months to become fully confident, although I had previous motorcycle experience.
Congratulations! My first ever solo drive was literally round the block. 😅 Moved the car to a different parking spot, and I was terrified. 😂😂 After that I took it steady by driving round streets I knew well, without any reason other than driving. Last thing you want is to be looking at the clock, rushing to get somewhere. Just remember what you learnt, do all your checks, keep your distance, ignore the rudeness of others, and expect the unexpected. It's amazing how many bad/thoughtless drivers there are out there! Good luck!
Haha, I feel sorry for that kid. He was so nervous. Driving is 80% routine and confidence and only 20% rules and technicalities. If you don't own it, you're going to make mistakes because you're not in control. Don't be a passenger in your own drive.
Managing your nerves is also an important aspect of driving. Imagine you are stressed because you are late driving to work. You need to stay calm and safe on the road. But yeah, driving test is a bit of an artificial stress inducer, atypical of normal driving situations
@@agfd5659 yeah a you can be a very good learner driver know everything but it’s the test day and the examiner situation which can make u do silly stuff because you are so nervous
Yh he’s a nice guy just seems nervous which is why he made quite a few driving faults. Being recorded can also make you feel pressurised. If he wasn’t nervous he can do much better. Hopefully he passes.
AJ my bro.. I’m at the same level of driving as you. Don’t take your failures to heart, failing is the only way we can learn. Good luck in your driving!
If you are like him in terms of skills, you guys should not be given a licence ever. Sorry if i hurt your feelings but its not safe for you out there mate.
@@vasilijevucetic6673 Agreed, you just got to put in the time. I read the highway code twice, did every lesson in the app, watched YT videos, watched the ultimate driving course twice, took notes, every lesson fixed micro detail minors, passed first time and it felt easy, as driving became second nature.
@@vasilijevucetic6673 You people act as though learner's need to be 100% perfect or something each time lmao, they will sort out their issues and probably be safer than most people on the road with time, no need for this...
You can tell he's still in that tunnel vision phase of learning where he's so fixated on the end of his car and car in front that he's oblivious to signs and other things in his periphery. He just needs some more hours under his belt and the confidence will come I'm sure.
24:58 The awkward silence when he placed the gear back into 1st and left it. AJ knew something was off but i think he wanted Pin to tell him, Pin was in deep thought "it's stall time".
I feel you, AJ. I had 35 hours of driving with a fantastic instructor, I drove perfectly well an hour before the test and yet failed it within the first 10 minutes 🤦🏽♀️
@@LondonBoness probably nerves, such small things but there’s definitely more risk of failing quicker when ur not sure what to do next , rather than completing a journey you’ve previously made.
The reverse parking was done with utmost care and perfection, centimetre by centimetre. It was like watching a sculptor using the chisel to fine tune the corners.
Yep that was painful to watch but nobody is perfect. It's gonna take him some time to brush up all the faults and also control his nerves. Wishing him the best..
Bless him felt so sorry for him he tried so hard.Keep practicing you will get there . The look of pure l pain on pins face ...hilarious. Keep practicing hun you will get there
I passed yesterday 09/12/21 with 4 minor. I learned a lot from here. Thank you for sharing your videos, very informative and detailed. I’m still going to watch your video to more information and reminder. Good luck to everyone who’s having test in future.
A very big problem is when you make your "first big" fault and you get so concentrated on not doing another problem so you just end up doing more and more faults because you dont focus on the driving you are just focused on not making another fault. For a beginner driver its hard to let go of the fails you make and it can make beginner drivers very stressed and nervous like aj, he just need to drive some more and he will be a good driver 👍🏻
I've been driving now for 55 years, I still make mistakes, thankfully minor ones, and I still occasionally stall the car. I reckon that when learning the main aim is to be comfortable and confident with the control of the car, so it comes as automatically as possible without too much thinking, that way you can concentrate on factors outside the car. When learning, my dad used to take me out at quiet times and just let me practise my driving without worrying too much about being perfect, quite often we would go to a large empty car park and practise car control. That's just my take on learning !
I passed my test first time today with 6 minors in heavy rain. I genuinely don't think i could have done it without watching these videos constantly. Great channel and keep up the amazing work!
Where you in London? It rained extremely heavily here 3 days ago. Congrats I would hate to do my test in that, it was like a monsoon. I passed 2 months ago in Ilford.
Passed 1st time today with 3 minors and if I can do it anyone can! Only advice is if you can drive with a family member/ friend, look for all the test routes (RUclips had 30 in my area). Map them out and go over them till you know the roads backwards. I did a route today I'd done a bunch of times which helped a lot. Also these videos and world driving school mocks helped me learn where others trip up. Good luck everyone!
I have been driving since 1996 and driving lessons and tests have changed so much! I have to admire everyone going through this “right of passage” these days! So many fools on the roads, impatient and incompetent drivers. Best of luck to those who are aiming to pass their test as I think I would struggle to pass these days! Poor AJ being honked at too! Some people doesn’t even consider learner drivers!
Passed my test on Friday, definitely could NOT have done it without some of these vids, my instructor was great but watching the mock tests gave me so much more idea of different scenarios, so thank you for all of these!
@@ykhenessey3924 he's learning to drive. I don't know what you expect. It would be different if it was an experienced driver taking that long to reverse parallel.
I passed back at the end of July, but I still love watching these videos. They definitely helped me when I was learning to drive and I think they still help as I'm learning as a new driver.
Watched these videos a lot before my test which was today ( i PASSED with only 3 minors) and glad to see where others go wrong and helped me not make the same mistakes, anyone who struggles and thinks they are failing don’t give up as a few mistakes is normal as long as they aren’t dangerous.
Would like to congratulate all learner drivers on passing their test recently (myself included) but we need to stop this “part of the passed but still watch gang” comment flood. It’s ruining the comments section on these videos. I did it, I regret it, I need counselling for my need to comment on every driving instructors video telling them I passed.
@@sb-nd2oi Ah I thought he did a mock where he went over the same patch of road he failed on and then I'm sure within the comments of that video I saw he passed shortly after that. I could be wrong or just getting mixed up with another video.
I'm from the US (passed my test a while back) and can hardly understand how the roads work over there when I watch these videos, but they're still super entertaining!
One comment that always stays with me from instructor is - the best time to make mistakes is when people are learning because then the instructor can help you. Make as many as you want. The instructor has control of the car as well.
I passed my test today first time with 4 minors!! More than anything your videos calmed my nerves and I'm going to keep watching them even now that I've passed 🥰
His finding the bite with brake and clutch are always going to give him problems from time to time. Unexpected stalling as a result of this technique will never allow him to build up confidence.
@@jxpan246 Finding the bite in this way will add unnecessary problems which can be avoided by employing a sensible technique. The fact that it is easy to do is somewhat off the point. Using the footbrake whenever a an upslope is encountered the chances of stalling is increased, very steep hill starts are going to be very difficult leading to worrying about stalling which starts to happen more and more. Then you will worry about stalling at complex junctions. It is not a sensible procedure o follow as it will ultimately undermine confidence
@@keith6400 You can hold the brake and release the clutch until you find the bite, the car won't move, same technique can be done with the handbrake. Releasing the break and trying to find the bite within 0.5 and 1 sec is a lot more stressful and will lead to more stalling, since he will try to find the bite too quickly. There is a reason why most instructors tell you to find the bite with the handbreak up and then pull down the handbrake after you have the bite.
@@joshspace99 My argument relates to feet and being able to start at a particular instant (on the flat and uphill) and from that exact moment accelerate away very rapidly. This might only be crucial in busy traffic with small gaps at a multi-lane roundabout. You can start other ways but generally they have shortcomings under specific circumstances. Using the handbrake as you describe is related more to a hill start and if you were using it you clearly don't need to use the footbrake as well but prevention of roll-back is the objective here and additional revs to get the power to ascend
Guys I can't believe I'm saying this but I passed my test yesterday! I was a nervous wreck and made a ton of minors but I did it. I'll still be watching the videos, it's been a while now that everytime I make a mess I hear Pin's voice in my head: "I had to intervene".
He seems soo nervous that he can't seem think or process instructions given . defo needs more lessons and use same car for test. Good luck mate u can do it . Am doing automatic less stress
Before the test while your adjusting your seat positioning/mirrors if its a good examiner they should let you try out the biting point, how to get in reverse how to pull the handbrake the things thats not the same on every car.
I only had an instructor slamming the brakes once. Luckily not during an exam. This lady in a motorised wheelchair was coming up while I was attempting to reverse park. She wanted to cross between me and the parking space. I noticed her and the car was standing still, as I expected her to pass. But she stopped and put up her hand. This led me to believe she was letting me park first. So I put up my hand aswell and started looking around the sides for other traffic before letting my brakes go and slowly starting to move backwards. But as I was diverting my attention back to the rear view mirror, my instructor slammed on the brakes, right as I noticed the lady right behind the car. It turns out the whole thing was a miscommunication. The lady in the wheelchair wasn't sure if I had seen her, and therefor stopped. She raised her hand to get my attention. When she saw me waving back, she assumed I was letting *her* go first. So as I started looking around for other traffic, she started to move again. Luckily, I ofcourse never even got close to hitting her and I'm sure I would have seen her before hitting her even if my instructor wasn't there. But it was definitely a good learning moment.
Try a route you know well for the first time. Like your house to your work or something! And any new situation, take someone with you . When I first drove in the dark I was really nervous but now I'm fine !
I don’t even live in the UK and I still watching these vids lol my test is next month. I think it’s just nice to see people in your stage struggling as well so you know you’re not alone wherever you may be. But everyone will pass eventually🤙🏼
I''ve come to the conclusion that cycling on roads, then using a moped, as I did and my son did, helps people to get used to lane changing and signalling and checking for traffic because we both passed first time, and I had only had around half a dozen lessons. Learning to drive when you have never been on the road must be hard to get your head into checking for traffic, signalling and the like.
Spot on! I cycled then progressed to a moped, AND I owned a horse too who was wonderful in traffic. It was a good few years before I decided to have driving lessons. Being a horse owner truly sets you up as you are in charge of an animal with a mind of it's own, as my friend once said, if you can ride a horse, you can drive a car! How right she was! No more having to have my horse feed delivered! 20 years later I miss my horse still, you don't have that bond with a car as my horse and I had 💔
I wonder if it's worth you wearing a hi-vis vest on mock tests so other drivers know you can't help the learner, it might make them more frustrated thinking you as an instructor aren't helping them or think DGN is a trash driving school 😂
There was a breif "God help me" stare at 12:22that spoke volumes haha. Seems like a good guy tho, hope he's driving confidently with a full license today :)
is it true that a driving examiner can tell whether you're ready or not for your driving test just by seeing the way you move off at the start of the test?
Not really no, because those are the steps you learn very early on and get the most practice of, there's lots more to it than that. I'd say the only thing they may get a feel of at the start of the test is how confident you are as a driver.
You can tell how much experience you have by the build up of speed and how quickly you move off. Experienced drivers can get the car moving quite quickly while learners tend to crawl without setting gas or set gas but move off like a snail.
@@SE43 I had my examiner tell me that lots of people taking the test can’t even move off safely, wasting much needed test spaces. So maybe that’s what they meant.
I was a little like that on my FIRST DRIVING LESSON. By the time I was ready for test, I felt confident, it all made sense to me and I passed first time. And I've been driving now for 41 years, without a single accident or point on my licence. I call that good driving instruction. I got my money's worth.
Finally, passed my driving test on the first try with 2 minors and 0 driving lessons. Thank you, Pin for these videos and the ultimate driving course that absolutely filled any blanks in my knowledge and made me able to pass it with ease.
I've got a drivers permit here in Florida. It allows you to operate a vehicle without taking actual lessons, but you have to go for a test in order to get the license.

Mate get rid of that driving course advert now it’s hella annoying. YAYYYYYY bleeds my eardrums lol
And he’s supposed to promote his driving course, how else?
i wouldn't say get rid of it completely, maybe shorten it by removing the people who talk about it, and just advertise the course itself.
LMAO that Yaaay kills me everytime.
Mate get rid of the entitled attitude, it's free entertainment.
Bruh that lady that says HOORAYYY makes me cringe
He seems soo nervous that he can't seem think or process instructions given . defo needs more lessons and use same car for test. Good luck mate u can do it . Am doing automatic less stress
"He was using my house key instead of the car key" cracked me up 😂
"the awkward silence after knowing you've made a mistake" 😭😭 man this killed me
Love the vids! I do always feel like the learners should get 10 minutes to warm up in the new car, though.
Before the test while your adjusting your seat positioning/mirrors if its a good examiner they should let you try out the biting point, how to get in reverse how to pull the handbrake the things thats not the same on every car.
I only had an instructor slamming the brakes once. Luckily not during an exam.
This lady in a motorised wheelchair was coming up while I was attempting to reverse park. She wanted to cross between me and the parking space. I noticed her and the car was standing still, as I expected her to pass. But she stopped and put up her hand.
This led me to believe she was letting me park first. So I put up my hand aswell and started looking around the sides for other traffic before letting my brakes go and slowly starting to move backwards. But as I was diverting my attention back to the rear view mirror, my instructor slammed on the brakes, right as I noticed the lady right behind the car.
It turns out the whole thing was a miscommunication. The lady in the wheelchair wasn't sure if I had seen her, and therefor stopped. She raised her hand to get my attention. When she saw me waving back, she assumed I was letting *her* go first. So as I started looking around for other traffic, she started to move again.
Luckily, I ofcourse never even got close to hitting her and I'm sure I would have seen her before hitting her even if my instructor wasn't there. But it was definitely a good learning moment.
4:28 flashback to Brandon using the wrong key to start the car 😂😂
Very useful videos, would recommend everyone. Passed my test today. So happy. Kudos to DGN!!
The fact that he stalled the engine at the end, shows that he isn't ready to take his driver's test yet.
Try a route you know well for the first time. Like your house to your work or something! And any new situation, take someone with you . When I first drove in the dark I was really nervous but now I'm fine !
Just passed today in Cardiff all thanks to your videos.
The instructor looks super frustrated tho, when the guy is clearly there to learn…bless.
I don’t even live in the UK and I still watching these vids lol my test is next month. I think it’s just nice to see people in your stage struggling as well so you know you’re not alone wherever you may be. But everyone will pass eventually🤙🏼
Aww bless him man, I hope he passes his test soon. And hopefully he can look back at this and laugh it off
Passed my test last week 2nd time your vids really helped man thanks a lot!
Awww, he looks so nervous! He'll be a fantastic driver one day 🙏 And Pin looks like he is about to fall asleep at 7:09 I had to laugh at that! 😆
I taught my lil brother and I can tell that the instructor is so patient.
I was getting frustrated and shout him 😂
His good now
I''ve come to the conclusion that cycling on roads, then using a moped, as I did and my son did, helps people to get used to lane changing and signalling and checking for traffic because we both passed first time, and I had only had around half a dozen lessons.
Learning to drive when you have never been on the road must be hard to get your head into checking for traffic, signalling and the like.
Spot on! I cycled then progressed to a moped, AND I owned a horse too who was wonderful in traffic. It was a good few years before I decided to have driving lessons. Being a horse owner truly sets you up as you are in charge of an animal with a mind of it's own, as my friend once said, if you can ride a horse, you can drive a car! How right she was! No more having to have my horse feed delivered! 20 years later I miss my horse still, you don't have that bond with a car as my horse and I had 💔
I agree it makes you more aware of everything around you, I personally think it should be a mandatory progression.
why i feel for this kid i dont know
keep practicing it'll come, rooting for you !
Is much better than expected for the title
This guy is honestly the best channel on RUclips. A real mvp
Oh gosh, I just passed my Dutch driving exam, 1st try ! These videos helped me a lot (even though I was driving on the other side of the road lol).
Gefeliciteerd misschien kan jij mij ophalen met de auto en kunnen we samen ergens pannenkoeken eten? 😏
"Im gonna have to go the wrong way". That needs to become a meme 🤣
Him trying start the ignition with his house keys cummon bro your killing me here 😂
Pin is so serious, even when the driver explains himself the disbelief in pin is hilarious
I wonder if it's worth you wearing a hi-vis vest on mock tests so other drivers know you can't help the learner, it might make them more frustrated thinking you as an instructor aren't helping them or think DGN is a trash driving school 😂
So what? Who cares what other drivers think
@@Feedthegoat he’s got a point tho. In a business POV
Oh yeah of course, it’s not as though DGN has a RUclips channel with 378k subs and uploads mock tests every week....
@@Feedthegoat Out of the 67 million people in the uk that's pretty insignificant
@@Feedthegoat It looks bad on Pin, not the learners
I passed my test today but going to continue watching your videos pin helped me a lot good luck to everyone taking there test soon
Did you test his eyesight? Seems like he can’t see well enough ahead?
There was a breif "God help me" stare at 12:22that spoke volumes haha. Seems like a good guy tho, hope he's driving confidently with a full license today :)
When the house key was being used to start the car 🤣
I finally passed on Tuesday with only 2 minors! Buzzin🤩
At 17:55 when Pin says, "this does take a while and is slightly painful to watch" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The steering wheel sounds sticky xD
Candidate: *Can’t operate handbrake*
Examiner: *”oh lord no 🚨🚨🚨”*
My man Trying to use house key to start a car 😂😂😂
is it true that a driving examiner can tell whether you're ready or not for your driving test just by seeing the way you move off at the start of the test?
Not really no, because those are the steps you learn very early on and get the most practice of, there's lots more to it than that. I'd say the only thing they may get a feel of at the start of the test is how confident you are as a driver.
You can tell how much experience you have by the build up of speed and how quickly you move off. Experienced drivers can get the car moving quite quickly while learners tend to crawl without setting gas or set gas but move off like a snail.
@@SE43 I had my examiner tell me that lots of people taking the test can’t even move off safely, wasting much needed test spaces. So maybe that’s what they meant.
@@phoebesmith8154 Yes that is true.
Especially if you set off in reverse or with the engine switched off.
I admire your patience during that reverse parallell parking, that's some meditation zen type shit right there
i just passed my exam and i couldn't be happier. now I'm officially in the "passed but i still watch these for fun" gang😎
same!
Love watching this after passing and everything
Hi Pin,where do you get your patience from ?
I was a little like that on my FIRST DRIVING LESSON. By the time I was ready for test, I felt confident, it all made sense to me and I passed first time. And I've been driving now for 41 years, without a single accident or point on my licence. I call that good driving instruction. I got my money's worth.
Finally, passed my driving test on the first try with 2 minors and 0 driving lessons. Thank you, Pin for these videos and the ultimate driving course that absolutely filled any blanks in my knowledge and made me able to pass it with ease.
0 driving lessons?
@@danielandrews1511 Yep 0
Plenty of driving experience with family or friends though right
I've got a drivers permit here in Florida. It allows you to operate a vehicle without taking actual lessons, but you have to go for a test in order to get the license.
Bless him man, he‘s obviously nervous. I know the feeling too well. Failed my first drving test cos of my nervousness
he’s so nervous aww hope he does well
Passed but still watching gang where you at?
Bless him you could tell his nerves took over. Wishing him the best of luck with his future driving! X
Never give up....hard work always paid at the end 👍
11:58 ngl that stall broke the camel’s back and made me burst out laughing 😅😂
They were going bull riding
Some people will never be a driver no matter how many lessons they have.
