    I have returned to instructing after over 6½ years as an examiner. I also teach commentary driving but my main reason for commenting is that, one of the best drives I ever had as an examiner was a lady commentary driving. It was that good I was looking for cameras and an ear piece. If you are wondering if Commentary driving works, trust me it does, and for all the reasons mentioned in the video clip.

    My last instructor told me not to narrate because it makes people nervous but my new Instructor said it’s the contrary because it’s good to let the examiner know what you’re doing. I’m so glad I found this video!

But since seeing this I know now they do, I just do it naturally as I like them to know what I'm doing and making sure I'm doing the it correct, hopefully I can do my test in June 3rd time lucky but its in sidcup now as moved how's, I'm an older learner

    • @oneanywhere8561
      @oneanywhere8561 Год назад

      Sorry to hear that but in the UK the size of the speed limit signs is so small and in some cases, their locations are so haphazardous and unpredictable that it makes next to impossible to notice them. The size of the speed limit signs must be two to three times bigger leaving no chance of missing.

      If there’s a car tailgating you you’d want to know about it before you need to brake so you can slow down gently at first then harder once they’ve picked up your brake lights. Or in the worst case if you can see them not slowing take evasive action.

      @@DrivingSchoolTVThank you for your reply. I guess I understand why the UK is not the USA. I assume that not only do you drive on the "wrong side" of the road but have a "wrong" ratiocination of placing the responsibility of another driver's illicit behavior on the victim. In the USA as well as in Russia, for instance, there is one rule -- MIND YOUR FRONT! Whoever hits your vehicle from behind is at fault which will cost him/her points on the driving record and money upon renewal of one's insurance. It is every driver's responsibility to keep a safe distance and speed.
      And what is an evasive maneuver in this case? Swerving in the oncoming traffic, flying through the red light, hitting a pedestrian, plunging into another car??? 🤣😂
