    My test centre was 31% but I tried to not think about it because if you have a good drive, you’ll pass. Thankfully I was ok.
    I’ll always suggest, feel super prepared cos it’ll only help. Even if it means you have a few more lessons, it does pay off 😊

    Hi Travis, I passed my driving test today in Crawley where the pass rate was 37%. It was my 7th attempt today. Your videos helped me and motivated me a lot. Thank you so much 🙏

    Something to bear in mind if your test is early morning. If the roundabouts are very busy then the examiner may extend your test to account for being stuck in traffic. My instructor thought something had happened to us in test as this happened to me. Test was 9.17 on a Saturday morning.

    Personally if your test time is at busy time in heavy traffic. I wouldn't change the times iid Personally try to have lessons at that time in the area if possible. If not then have lessons in busy traffic say on Saturday when there is something on. Even if it is in different area you are still developing your observation skills. Also try to drive in the area of your test and get to know little land marks that you can use as clues of something coming up etc

      @SeanVlismas 2 месяца назад +1

      Depending on what you find difficult, busy times can be easier to drive in as you're less likely to get hesitation and progress faults given that you're probably going to be stopping at every roundabout due to traffic and be having to drive more slowly.
      Quiet times can mean that the examiner is looking for you to move more seamlessly from one road to another and be driving near the speed limit where conditions allow.

    Things will always crop up on a test that don’t happen in lessons…on my first test a chap was hooking a caravan up to his car in the middle of the road. The tricky thing is do you wait or pass if you can see it’s clear?

    Thanks for videos like this good sir, just passed today first time with four very silly nerve of the day minors but well happy. My test seemed very quick once you got going the time just flew, had an hour lesson prior etc to iron out any concerns. My instructor was fantastic, my advice to anyone taking there test immediately after is just take your time, keep safe, keep calm cannot go wrong, if you muck up the reversing manoeuvres own it and correct then will get a minor but respect from the examiner for attempting to fix it 😊 best of luck all 🫡

    Hi Trevor great video,
    just something that's concerning me lately. I've passed my driving test recently with only 3 minors.
    However I feel like I fluked it.
    now I'm afraid to drive alone thinking maybe I wasn't ready for my driving test. 😂
    Is that a normal feeling and Any advice you can give me or is this a normal feeling I'm having ?

    • @JamesTravis
      @JamesTravis  2 месяца назад +4

      It is normal to feel like this, I cannot think of the exact name or terminology for this feeling. It is a bit like imposter syndrome where you feel you don’t belong there.
      But just remind yourself that you have had training and that you have passed the standard to drive alone.
      My tip would be to drive in your local area where you know the roads. This will give you confidence when driving alone.

    • @drewscott2753
      @drewscott2753 2 месяца назад +1

      Totally normal to feel like that. Takes time but it does get better. One day you will just be driving and realise you weren’t even thinking about it. You passed because an examiner watched you and decided you were a good, safe driver. Have a bit of faith in your ability.

    • @alisont308
      @alisont308 2 месяца назад

      Completely normal, I passed first time with 3 minors and I’d not expected to pass because I didn’t believe in myself (but my instructor believed in me) It’s taken me time to gain confidence and a year on I’m still not the most confident of drivers but getting in my car and driving now feels normal. I do now see I’m a careful and safe driver and I can drive and I’ll continue to boost my confidence. It honestly does happen, keep driving, go out at quiet times and keep gaining experience and setting mini targets.

    Hi Travis! I got a question, so is it worth waiting until I cover all the maneouvres and start mock tests with ny driving instructor before I book the test? Or is it worth to book any slot in, even if its in 3 months time, the moment i get the theory test certificate and look for cancellations earlier? I do have a full driving license for A2 motorbikes, and did car driving lessons way back when i wasnt ready to really be in a car. Ive had my 4th lesson so far, we are currently driving along residential areas, pulling up alongside the road, junctions, 40mph roads and 4 lane roundabouts, mini roundabouts, normal roundabouts. Ive been given a rough estimate of about 20 lessons before Im ready when I had my first lesson. Whatcha think?

    • @JamesTravis
      @JamesTravis  2 месяца назад

      With the waiting times being up to 3 to 5 months wait to take a driving test in parts of the UK, I would speak to your instructor about booking a driving test straight after you pass the theory test. They have given you as estimated 20 hours which is not a lot of time. If you are doing 2 hour lessons per week, then it is only 2.5 months away so you would need to look for a test that is about 3 months away. Find out your driving instructor's ADI number so when booking the test you don't double book.

    As a professional Police DTU Instructor it still puzzles me as to why people who wish to pass their Driving Test still attempt to use family and friends to sort of teach them to drive - Why?

    Hi travis my test is coming up soon..its the last test of the day around 3 30pm.. and its overtime slots for examiners.. is there more of a chance they will take you on a smaller easier route rather than go through school traffic? I know that sounds really cheeky but is there more of a chance would you say?

    • @JamesTravis
      @JamesTravis  2 месяца назад +1

      They will try to avoid traffic that is not moving. So would want to see some driving. If the school area is gridlock, they will avoid it.
