Ive got my second attempt a week today, im very nervous still but know a bit more about what to expect. I failed for a stupid reason, so was quite pleased with the test as a whole, including my parallel park. fingers crossed for next time, really hoping to be driving in time for christmas. These videos are really helpful.
I think you went easy on her. The amount of time not using push and push especially coming out of a turn and you only booked her once. Nice videos & Glad she passed though.
Thanks for putting up the video my instructor spoke to me about having a mock test yesterday on my lesson so watching this I will have a better idea of what to expect
After watching few videos it's either the driver tries to communicate with the instructor or opposite but no one actually replies… I would try to find a friendly instructor, not to bribe or get anything good out of him/her, as long as we keep good terms, always makes things better to feel if you are enjoying yourself
Great driving Nikita, don't worry about the 3rd gear set off, just remember to fully secure up and set off from scratch even if the examiner does sound like they are in a rush to get going again, So you don't forget about 1st. Have fun learning :)
a great one! i was looking for one in ages because i watched all of the tests i could find on youtube :D been so obsessed with driving test :D mine is coming up soon.... please make as many as you can :)
It's funny that she was going left when you said to go right several times. Not trying to say she's stupid, but it's funny how as a learner your mind is on different things and simple things can elude you. This happens to me a lot. My mind is often on just driving properly and safely and not on reading directions.
This test looks easy compared to the route I may be faced with, big sigh 😔 so many bad drivers that cut me up etc because I’m a learner, I’m sure they do it on purpose
Hi, is the real driving test last for about the same time as this video last?? Because it's like a journey which is pretty cool cauz at the end of the day you gonna be more confident on driving on your own but if at the real test you gonna drive for so long that's very cool and you're also a very good instructor she is very lucky !!
Myqii Actually some instructors will try talking to you just to see if you will loose concentration. I hardly believed she blanked him, she probably smiled a lil.
Hi James, I went for my 4th driving test today and I'm please to reveal that I've finally passed with 4 minors so I'm happy :) 1 minor for undue hesitation, 1 minor steering and 2 minors for turning right. The steering minor I've got was for clipping the curb whilst driving but I thought that would be a serious. So is touching the curb whilst driving is a minor? The 2 minors I've got for turning right but the examiner explain what have I done wrong or what I've should've done? Could you please why the examiner gave me 2 minors for making a right turn?
Did my first lesson today I live one a farm so Iv got the clutch and changing gears in the bag and at the end of the test he said I think this is the first time Iv not had the yank the steering wheel so people don't scratch his wheels and I was on a 50 MPH road and I was just under that and the elderly woman was so much up my arse and I had the pull in to my drive way because it was the end of my first lesson and I had to stop from 50 on a busy road then wait for traffic to pass so I can pull in the drive and she was just inching closer and closer why can't people think ill give a bit of room more then normal I gave her a good worming I'm stoping signalling for a good 20 seconds because it's on a corner and just wasn't backing of one bit got home safety tho through the drama 😂
I passed with 4 minors on being too slow in build up areas think i was just nervous but there was cars parked on either side and i was going about 23mph in a 30mph and i thought i would have failed but i think because i never held anyone up thats why i passed .
Mitreto Korea hi, mock test is a practice driving test. It is the next best thing to the driving test. Covers a test route, and helps you to understand what happens and how you would react to the practical driving test.
Ah so that means, in bulgaria has the same but its not really neccesary and u can skip it and ur instructor will only mark as passed and thats all :). In bulgaria is calles Internal test :). btw i passed 2 days ago now im going to give my documents to get my license
Thanks, am i noticed some of u in england pull constantly handbrake :D i kinda hate this i never pull handbrake i hold it with the clutch and the brake only
Mitreto Korea if you stop at side of road, then handbrake to stop the car from moving. But it is a personal preference to when you think the handbrake should be used.
I love your videos! I think that it could be beneficial if while she was driving you just flagged up her driving faults on screen so we knew exactly when they happened.
Omg i was so scared for the passangers when i saw the cars coming towards you then i realised you have to drive on the left side..:D by the way i just passed for the 5th time finally im looking towards to drive on my own.
i had my driving test and passed but whats interesting i was so nervous that my leg was like having a spasm attack so i could go or i would have stalled so first 5 mins im just not going but i did go and yeah i drove alright and he passed me cause basically theres a difference between nerves and driving badly
Hi, had my driving test today at 10.14am! Been watching all off your videos and other channels and they have really helped out! :) Passed with only 2 minors.
James Travis I have a mock test tomorrow morning at 11.30 I'll be leaving home at 11.00 I'm very nervous and do you have any tips or advice for the test tomorrow many thanks
I don't understand how this would have passed. I've got my test on Friday and there's no way I'd pass doing this. Indicating 3 driveways before a mini roundabout, letting the steering wheel slide through the hands, stalling, not releasing handbrake immediately after checking blind spot when pulling off, driving really slow, getting left and right mixed up, and I'm only 6 minutes in to the video!
on my first test -Same, i agree.. I got 7 minors 4 were observation so instant fail..i noticed quite a few errors and more on this video..a good instructor all round anyway..he's got friendly, laid back approach.
I hate when driver instructors tells the driver to pull up on the side of the road and then go again. Like wtf was the point of stopping if you are not going to do anything anyway?
I would of failed her she let the steering wheel slip at least 5 times ..she was creeping out at a roundabout with traffic coming at her and pretty poor on the observations and why did she not get a fault at the start for mis indicating
After emergency stop your suppose to apply the handbreak and select a gear to move off and check all around she only selected the gear and only checked to her right.
I had test on this month but test got a cancellation and wii talking next month. I am really confident. It's look easy a and nothing make nervous. Thank you for your videos.
The driving teacher is so calm. :) I might be getting my provisional licence soon (depending on medical grounds), I'm so stressed incase they get angry if i make a mistake
+Megan Howie hi, the instructor should be good to you. Reminder you are paying for good advise and practice, not to be shouted at. Take your time finding a good instructor. Good luck
Hi James, I've been learning to drive for a while now and I've noticed that sometimes I don't realise /realise a little late there is an open junction (only certain junctions when there's no road markings to tell me, and these junctions are a bit funny and slanted), it's weird because it never used to happen before and it's happened on 2 occasions randomly, and I drive to test standard. I wanted to ask if this comes with more experience? Ps thank you for these great videos and well done to Nikita for passing her test
+Natasha Ali hi, thanks for watching. These junctions could be Y junctions which you approach at a sharper angle compared to T junctions. Over time and with more experience it gets easier. But if a was you I would ask my instructor to take you to more Y junctions. Y junction is much harder to approach correctly. If there are no road markings it could be either a quiet road or they have worn out or the signs are missing, but if you miss them or make the same mistake ask could you go back and approach it again. Safe driving
Yeah not long just need it booking in my test now. Will still watch your videos even when I do pass as I do believe they really do well with driving in general. :)
hi ,,i really like to watch your videos ,i been doing so many lessons maybe about 50 and driving my own car too ,,but when it comes to the test time my instructor wont let me to have her car for some reason and plus we never have done any mock tests ,,,she just keep saying im not ready.any advice ?pleas help ,thank you
Ask your instructor a direct question. Can you tell me how many more hours I need to take my test? If your instructor says 10 to 15 hours, then you work out at that point when the test date should be booked for based off the number of hours her week you are having. If they say I don't know. Then you would need to be asking why they have no idea after you have had 50 hours which is the average. If they are saying you are not ready. Ask what do I need to do to get ready? Most instructors will have a record card of there pupil and some even give out record cards to there pupils. You can see on the record card what is to a good standard and what needs more improvement. If you are still not satisfied then you might have to consider asking a good friend to recommend another instructor and ask them to give you an assessment of your driving with an aim to preparing your your driving test. If the other instructor is saying the same as your current one. Then more hours is needed, but at least you know where you stand. Good luck.
I need some advice, I have an amazing instructor and I feel really confident in my driving, he says I'm doing really wel and I have had 23 lessons but he still hasn't mentioned my test date yet. I'm not sure if I should mention it to him?
Leigh Cavanagh sounds like everything is going fine. Just say to your instructor "do you have an idea when I will be ready for the driving test, if it's soon should I go and book it". They won't be offended, just ask.
Hi James, if I'm driving around parked cars would I need to check my interior and door mirror before passing or would just a check to the door mirror be okay? Thanks
K24 sparkle hi, I would ask my pupils to check the right mirror before they are going to overtake a parked car on the left.checking for cars etc behind you who could be about to overtake you. Then check your left mirror before you come back into your left lane after you have passed the parked car.
Could you explain to me why my examiner says I should change to first year when changing certain corners, it's quite difficult for me because the car starts to gerk and it's not smooth?
tiffany boland you are probably going too fast round the corner for first gear which is causing the car to jerk. If you have an open view of the corner you are turning into and can see the road is clear you can go round in second gear with the suitable speed that matches the gear. My advice would just be to take your time, if you have any concerns just slow down, think and make the most of making the correct decision in your own time. Much safer than just changing it and it results in a serious fault
Learn-to-drive Travis What about the failure to check left blind spot after setting off from emergency stop? I passed my test first time a few weeks ago and in the hour lesson beforehand I didn't check my left blind spot and my instructor said it would be an immediate fail. Made sure to on my test!
Hi James just a question, one of the lads of the site I work on passed his test 2 years ago but unfortunately due to things happening to him he never got a car or drove , he's looking at buying a car now 2 years after would you recommend he takes some driving lessons to get use to to it or just drive somewhere on his own and get into the swing of things again ?
Matt Harris your friend will probably be rusty, so I would recommend contacting a driving driving instructor for a one hour lesson to take him out and remind your friend anything that he has forgotten. It will cost him max £25 for the refresher lesson and it could save him from having a bump in the first week in his car.
Learn-to-drive Travis it is ridiculous that someone can pass a test 10 years ago and not have driven with in that time but are deemed safe drivers to go behind the wheel. Non active drivers should be asked to retake test after two years or more of inactivity
Most drivers who pass and don’t continue with there driving until a couple of years tend to have some sort of refresher lesson with family or an instructor to remind them of the safety and how to control car.
brb224 a mock test is a practice driving test covering a test route conducted by the driving instructor. It is the next best thing to an actual driving test. It will help prepare the pupil for the driving test.
+Hanna hussain hi, start car, get yourself ready with your 1st gear and gas, then check round. At that point you signal to move off, if no one is coming towards you, then you don't need to signal. Hope that helps
if u did this out of habit and on the test there were no cars or pedestrians would u get marked down.. as I think it's best to get into the habit of doing it so that u never 4 get ad just in case u on a test u don't signal b4 moving off is this a fail. . thanks great videos really helping me.. xx
I passed my test recently and thanks so much , your videos really helped a lot, please do a video about tips for a good driver , how to avoid wear and tear , any useful tips ,should we need to unlearn anything from the test and that would be really helpful . Thanks again .
Swiftkin you have to check both blind spots before you set off again. If not it's a fail. I forgot to in my practice before my test and he said I'd fail and when it came up I made sure to do it and I passed first time.
Swiftkin and You don't understand what I said, which says "before setting off again".Obviously you don't do it before the stop then as then it won't be an 'emergency' stop
Nikita passed her driving test this week at the first attempt.
Ive got my second attempt a week today, im very nervous still but know a bit more about what to expect. I failed for a stupid reason, so was quite pleased with the test as a whole, including my parallel park. fingers crossed for next time, really hoping to be driving in time for christmas. These videos are really helpful.
Good luck on the test.
Thanks for the video what’s the speed limit on 11:16 road n road before that pls
@@audreyarmelle6318 just before it changes to 40 mph
I think you went easy on her. The amount of time not using push and push especially coming out of a turn and you only booked her once. Nice videos & Glad she passed though.

Driving Burntwood great advice.
Its great to see her progress from her first lesson! How many lessons did it take before she was test ready?
a great one! i was looking for one in ages because i watched all of the tests i could find on youtube :D been so obsessed with driving test :D mine is coming up soon.... please make as many as you can :)

Sara sara thank you and good luck with your test
I have my practical on a 15th of this month so nervous thanks for your uploads been helping 👍
RAHEL Saeed good luck on the 15th
Learn-to-drive Travis crossing hands shouldn't be a control fault
Got my test in a week, absolutely bricking it, had a mock test and passed with 4 minors so maybe that's a good sign :)
+MIREK FACHOWIEC go for it
I have my driving test Jan 3rd 2018, I'm very nervous but I'm hoping I pass
Hi, good luck
The new test sounds alot easier so hopefully you will, can u let me know what it was like ill be taking mine a few days after yours
Push and pull method for steering needs to go. Many drivers if not pretty much all of em dont do that and just cross arms
This test looks easy compared to the route I may be faced with, big sigh 😔 so many bad drivers that cut me up etc because I’m a learner, I’m sure they do it on purpose
Hi, is the real driving test last for about the same time as this video last?? Because it's like a journey which is pretty cool cauz at the end of the day you gonna be more confident on driving on your own but if at the real test you gonna drive for so long that's very cool and you're also a very good instructor she is very lucky !!
+nicaise Nguemo hi,
The uk driving test last 40 minutes
How the hell did she pass.. so many dangerous errors!
Georgia the instructor' what would you know?😂😂 you look like you can't even tie your laces never mind judge someone's driving haha.. fool..
She doesn't know how to drive or even start the car... and she passed. Wow
Tarik Kavaz she knows to drive. She is a beginner so if you take this into consideration you ll understand.
Its difficult give her a break
This test looks easy compared the the test route i may be faced with, big sigh 😔
7months driving with u?? How many lessons?? Her first lesson was March this posted in October and probably a bit more time to pass...
Failed my driving test 2 days ago with 4 minors and 1 serious on reversing round a corner for being to far from the curb absolute rubbish lol
Dean Hill sorry to hear. Bet you were gutted. Good luck with your next test.
Dean Hill I hope I don't get reverse around the corner one, I'm not that good with it 😂
completely blanked at 2:10 lol
Myqii good luck next time
Haha I meant at 2 minutes 10 seconds in this video you say something and she doesn't reply, that was all ; love your videos by the way
Myqii I think she was concentrating on giving way to the oncoming car haha
Myqii Actually some instructors will try talking to you just to see if you will loose concentration. I hardly believed she blanked him, she probably smiled a lil.

I like watching these but this one is so quite😂😂😂

what means mock test?
Mitreto Korea hi, mock test is a practice driving test. It is the next best thing to the driving test. Covers a test route, and helps you to understand what happens and how you would react to the practical driving test.
Ah so that means, in bulgaria has the same but its not really neccesary and u can skip it and ur instructor will only mark as passed and thats all :). In bulgaria is calles Internal test :). btw i passed 2 days ago now im going to give my documents to get my license
Mitreto Korea that's interesting. Congratulations on passing
Thanks, am i noticed some of u in england pull constantly handbrake :D i kinda hate this i never pull handbrake i hold it with the clutch and the brake only
Mitreto Korea if you stop at side of road, then handbrake to stop the car from moving. But it is a personal preference to when you think the handbrake should be used.
Her face when she looked at you after the emergency stop was priceless 😂. Also she revs that Honda engine good, VTEC just kicked in yo!
I love your videos! I think that it could be beneficial if while she was driving you just flagged up her driving faults on screen so we knew exactly when they happened.
Omg i was so scared for the passangers when i saw the cars coming towards you then i realised you have to drive on the left side..:D by the way i just passed for the 5th time finally im looking towards to drive on my own.
got my driving test in just over a week ,your videos have been a big help towards settling my nerves
Damien lee good luck
Did u pass ?
Nice Work both of you. I have my driving test coming up soon, how can I get your help for a test session and prepared myself for my test?
i had my driving test and passed but whats interesting i was so nervous that my leg was like having a spasm attack so i could go or i would have stalled so first 5 mins im just not going but i did go and yeah i drove alright and he passed me cause basically theres a difference between nerves and driving badly
Dnbray literally the same thing happened to me
My leg also felt like that on my test I’m surprised I never stalled or failed. At least I passed so who cares now
Hi, had my driving test today at 10.14am! Been watching all off your videos and other channels and they have really helped out! :) Passed with only 2 minors.
Kaylen Sables great result. Congratulations and safe driving
James Travis I have a mock test tomorrow morning at 11.30 I'll be leaving home at 11.00 I'm very nervous and do you have any tips or advice for the test tomorrow many thanks
Adam Leeding , try not to worry about the test. Eat and drink before you set off, it will help maintain your concentration. Good luck

I don't understand how this would have passed. I've got my test on Friday and there's no way I'd pass doing this.

You wouldn't fail for letting the wheel go through your hands ... I didn't. As long as they deem you to have control...
I hate when driver instructors tells the driver to pull up on the side of the road and then go again. Like wtf was the point of stopping if you are not going to do anything anyway?
bobcv ray Because they want to see how you pull away.
They want to see that you can move away safely
bobcv ray yh she didn't do well taking off so I guess for that reason
right good driving
I would of failed her she let the steering wheel slip at least 5 times ..she was creeping out at a roundabout with traffic coming at her and pretty poor on the observations and why did she not get a fault at the start for mis indicating
Simon Tryner iiii
I don't understand how she didn't get any serious'
When you're pulling up on the side of the road, can you slow down and stay in gear 2 or 3 and just put the clutch down and break?
Dave yes you can
Thank god for that! Thanks James :)
Interesting vid...oh Nikita you will never know...decrease your speed you should go slow
After emergency stop your suppose to apply the handbreak and select a gear to move off and check all around she only selected the gear and only checked to her right.
I had test on this month but test got a cancellation and wii talking next month. I am really confident. It's look easy a and nothing make nervous.

I did my mock test a couple of weeks ago this video really helped before doing it. :)
+UK Unboxings 22 happy it helped. Cannot be long if you are having mock tests. Good luck
Yeah not long just need it booking in my test now. Will still watch your videos even when I do pass as I do believe they really do well with driving in general. :)
She barely changed gears thou?
DO U BOO she's not good with the gear changing and takeoffs either, dodgy instructor. But at least she stayed calm and didn't freak out.
Joel The Mole that's true
Joel McC I personally think that travis seems like a great instuctor it's a shame I live in Braintree I would love to have him teach me to drive
Skywave Media Yeah me too
Why do people park in the middle of the road? Some cars have to go around into the other lane
Pull up on the left and no mirrors.
hi ,,i really like to watch your videos ,i been doing so many lessons maybe about 50 and driving my own car too ,,but when it comes to the test time my instructor wont let me to have her car for some reason and plus we never have done any mock tests ,,,she just keep saying im not ready.any advice ?pleas help ,thank you
Ask your instructor a direct question. Can you tell me how many more hours I need to take my test?
If your instructor says 10 to 15 hours, then you work out at that point when the test date should be booked for based off the number of hours her week you are having. If they say I don't know. Then you would need to be asking why they have no idea after you have had 50 hours which is the average.

If you are still not satisfied then you might have to consider asking a good friend to recommend another instructor and ask them to give you an assessment of your driving with an aim to preparing your your driving test. If the other instructor is saying the same as your current one. Then more hours is needed, but at least you know where you stand. Good luck.
Where are parkings? I haven't seen one.
I need some advice, I have an amazing instructor and I feel really confident in my driving, he says I'm doing really wel and I have had 23 lessons but he still hasn't mentioned my test date yet. I'm not sure if I should mention it to him?
Leigh Cavanagh sounds like everything is going fine. Just say to your instructor "do you have an idea when I will be ready for the driving test, if it's soon should I go and book it". They won't be offended, just ask.
How many lessons did she have before her mock? & congratulations to her!
+Black Ghost In White Smoke around 30 ish.
Hi James, if I'm driving around parked cars would I need to check my interior and door mirror before passing or would just a check to the door mirror be okay? Thanks
K24 sparkle hi, I would ask my pupils to check the right mirror before they are going to overtake a parked car on the left.checking for cars etc behind you who could be about to overtake you. Then check your left mirror before you come back into your left lane after you have passed the parked car.
James Travis great thank you! thanks for the great video also :)
I am nervous because 24may my test in Wolverhampton
Muhammad Farooq mine is 24th May too, goodluck
I'm surprised you never pulled her up for her letting the steering wheel slip through her hands
+Bruce Young hi, after we finished I reviewed the whole video and mentioned it on the next lesson. Sometimes I miss things
Learn-to-drive Travis why is leting it through the hands a bad thing?
Could you explain to me why my examiner says I should change to first year when changing certain corners, it's quite difficult for me because the car starts to gerk and it's not smooth?
Gear I mean
tiffany boland you are probably going too fast round the corner for first gear which is causing the car to jerk. If you have an open view of the corner you are turning into and can see the road is clear you can go round in second gear with the suitable speed that matches the gear. My advice would just be to take your time, if you have any concerns just slow down, think and make the most of making the correct decision in your own time. Much safer than just changing it and it results in a serious fault
today i have failed my driving test with 9 faults.and one monover fault.but i must say you are amazing instructer.
aima ali naqvi thank you for your kind comments. I hope the videos are helping you.
Would she have passed if this were real? and is it me or was she driving incredibly slowly?
Hi, Nikita would of passed if this was a real test
Learn-to-drive Travis What about the failure to check left blind spot after setting off from emergency stop? I passed my test first time a few weeks ago and in the hour lesson beforehand I didn't check my left blind spot and my instructor said it would be an immediate fail. Made sure to on my test!
Learn-to-drive Travis Also, you said 3 faults for going slow so surely 3 in that category causes a dangerous or serious so that's also a fail?
Hi, you can find that some examiners will allow 4 driver faults in the same section before it becomes a serious.
Hi, yes the left blindspot could of been checked, but she done sufficient checks at that time.
now my instructor told me when turning never let the wheel spin bk to straight less control
matthew parkhurst your instructor is correct. The more you let the wheel spin, the less control.
Hi James just a question, one of the lads of the site I work on passed his test 2 years ago but unfortunately due to things happening to him he never got a car or drove , he's looking at buying a car now 2 years after would you recommend he takes some driving lessons to get use to to it or just drive somewhere on his own and get into the swing of things again ?
Matt Harris your friend will probably be rusty, so I would recommend contacting a driving driving instructor for a one hour lesson to take him out and remind your friend anything that he has forgotten. It will cost him max £25 for the refresher lesson and it could save him from having a bump in the first week in his car.
Learn-to-drive Travis it is ridiculous that someone can pass a test 10 years ago and not have driven with in that time but are deemed safe drivers to go behind the wheel. Non active drivers should be asked to retake test after two years or more of inactivity
Most drivers who pass and don’t continue with there driving until a couple of years tend to have some sort of refresher lesson with family or an instructor to remind them of the safety and how to control car.
whats a mock driving test?
brb224 a mock test is a practice driving test covering a test route conducted by the driving instructor. It is the next best thing to an actual driving test. It will help prepare the pupil for the driving test.
is it given to you by the dmv?
No. most driving instructors are happy to give a mock test to there pupils.

ah so its not required?
before moving off when starting car is it not necessary to signal?
+Hanna hussain hi, start car, get yourself ready with your 1st gear and gas, then check round. At that point you signal to move off, if no one is coming towards you, then you don't need to signal. Hope that helps
if u did this out of habit and on the test there were no cars or pedestrians would u get marked down.. as I think it's best to get into the habit of doing it so that u never 4 get ad just in case u on a test u don't signal b4 moving off is this a fail. . thanks great videos really helping me.. xx
I don't think it's mandatory if no one is around, but there's no harm done in just signalling anyway.
I passed my test recently and thanks so much , your videos really helped a lot, please do a video about tips for a good driver , how to avoid wear and tear , any useful tips ,should we need to unlearn anything from the test and that would be really helpful . Thanks again .
She would have failed this mock for the emergency stop she carried out. She didn't check her left blind spot which is an immediate fail
Reece Tyler you don't need to use mirrors when you are emergency stopping
Swiftkin you have to check both blind spots before you set off again. If not it's a fail. I forgot to in my practice before my test and he said I'd fail and when it came up I made sure to do it and I passed first time.
I said when you are doing the emergency stop I was litterally replying to you, afterwards you check not during. You didn't understand what I meant.
Swiftkin and You don't understand what I said, which says "before setting off again".Obviously you don't do it before the stop then as then it won't be an 'emergency' stop
Reece Tyler plus it's not imediate fail, it would have to be dangerous to do so in or to fail, you would get a minor
