Something it has taken me a while to get over is that it isn’t just learners who make mistakes. Just because you make a mistake it doesn’t mean you are stupid or cannot do it, experienced drivers make mistakes as well.
Not saying this cuz it makes me feel better as a learner, but that’s a fact. At times, I’ve braced myself for a near collision when I’ve been a passenger with experienced drivers. Sometimes the driving is so atrocious, I find myself correcting them. And I absolutely love telling them that if they took a test now they’d fail.
Hi Travis, just a comment to commend you. You’re one of my top driving inspirations regarding how you drive and your commentary. Very simple and straight forward, such a positive character. Thanks for the help!
Hi Travis wanted to let you know I passed my test on Monday second time !! With only 3 stupid minors lol (stalled once, drove 30 in a 20 mile zone and I stopped to let learner pass through so the hesitation) and did reverse parellel parking , hill start and emergency stop !! Overall absolutely buzzing !!! Your videos have been absolutely amazing !! Good work mate . Cheers
Trev really helped when I was learning two years ago. A few of his tips came up on my test and well I knew how to deal with the situation. ( They never happened with regular instructor ) sooo... ..thanks trev ❤️
I find that drivers especially van drivers are constantly tail gating me behind and trying to edge me to go faster when I’m trying to stick to the speed limits
You find van drivers tail or are generally reckless with their driving since they don’t own their vans, they’re usually company owned so many don’t care about the condition of the vans. Not all but you do see it…a lot. That’s the conclusion I came to.
I passed my test today, thank you to your videos, I had no professional lessons, all RUclips and driving with family, last video I watched was one of yours about staying focus till last second, I thought I failed but I passed with 5 minors so thankyou
I have my first driving test on Monday, I feel about 95% ready, but hearing these tips just reiterate things I may overlook. Thank you, your lessons have been great
Brilliant stuff Travis, taking notes left and right but you can see how many other people on the road really have no clue what's going on, even tho there already qualified! Everyone needs to be more alert and prepared on the road and I think there would be a lot less hassle.
I don’t know how to deal with next time test again since I m failed twice times 😔 Watching all your video I m understand feel more confidence but don’t know why I can failed 😞
If it makes you feel better I've failed 5 times going for.my 6th test soon. Don't give up I know its easier said than done but you've worked hard and paid alot for this
Great video as always Travis, thanks for the tips and I have my test booked for next Friday (assuming I am going to be test-ready - I'm still having lessons).
Surely it’s easy enough when you’ve passed, to carry on the way you’ve been taught…I’m preaching to the converted but it only makes the test harder for learners when accidents happen
if it is only for a few seconds and you bring it down, then it is a driving fault for use of speed. But if it continues at that speed or rises more, then a serious for use of speed.
Hiya. Big fan of your videos im live in MK and i have a amazing instructor. My test is on the 30th June and I was wondering if you carry out Mock Tests with students that would like to experience driving in test conditions?
I do carry out mock tests with students who live in Milton Keynes. This is my website contact page for you to contact www.drive-travis.co.uk/contact-me I can then either email you or text you when I have your details.
Travis you are one of the best driving instructor I have seen on RUclips. Thank you for your time and patience in dealing with your learners🙏 You have make a learner driver like me feel at ease ❤
Can you do a video on correct method of using clutch to slow down / stop as I have gotten bad habit of using it too early and that caused me to fail my mock test . Also any advice on getting the manoeuvres right first time , thank you .
hi Travis thanks for your driving tips and making these videos. a quick question regarding using the car- can i use someone else's car, like friends or one of the family members. would i need to provide an evidence before the test of the ownership of the car. Thanks
As long as you have valid tax for the car and insurance for you on that car then you are good to go. The examiner will ask you if the car you are driving is taxed and insured for the test.
Thank you so much for your reply, one more thing , is it ok if I maintain 25mph on a 30mph during the driving test ? Will I be termed too slow or show I keep it to 27mph
I have a question, my driving test is tomorrow. Is it a serious fault to not be in the appropriate fast gear, for instance 40mph at 3rd instead of 4th gear?
That’s a good question which would depend on if you have a large engine on your car, I will explain. Usually at 40 mph in most cars you would’ve expected to be in 4th by then. You would know because if your car is revving at over 3000 rpm or above on your rev counter then the car is straining to go faster in that gear. But if you are driving a learner car that has a big engine (2. L or above), then your engine would cope at 40mph in 3rd gear and it’s probably not revving. So next time you are driving at 40mph in 3rd take at glance at the rev counter to see if your car is struggling. If it is then you would get a driving fault in your driving test. If you keep repeating the same mistakes it would after 3 times become a serious.
I just got a cancellation for next Tuesday to say I'm shocked is an understatement I know im ready I think because I've failed 5 times I just feel like I'm never gonna pass I want it so much I've got a car and I just want to drive it on my own. It gets me so mad because thers some absolute lunatics on the road and I drive properly and don't take risks even when I'm in my own car and not my instructors car it baffles me how they passed there test. I know I can drive I just keep getting failed for stupid mistakes or like my last test I didnt think I'd done anything wrong I honestly thought I'd passed but clearly not.
@@JamesTravis thank you I just want it so much I don't think I go through all this again 😔. I'm not even nervous on a test that's what baffles me I drive like I do on lessons safe and properly but the examiners always seem to find fault with something I do. I'm not perfect I'm not saying that but when I didn't think I'd did anything wrong it's so frustrating
Something it has taken me a while to get over is that it isn’t just learners who make mistakes. Just because you make a mistake it doesn’t mean you are stupid or cannot do it, experienced drivers make mistakes as well.
They do all the time.
@@JamesTravis Passed today with 0 minors. Thank you so much Travis your videos have been so helpful for me as I always lacked confidence.
That’s great news congratulations 🎉

Finally passed the driving test at the 3rd attempt, with no fault at all I got highest score! Thanks for your videos, they really help!
Excellent news congratulations on passing.

Happens with me too. You just get used to the silly drivers and stick to your speed limits.
You find van drivers tail or are generally reckless with their driving since they don’t own their vans, they’re usually company owned so many don’t care about the condition of the vans. Not all but you do see it…a lot. That’s the conclusion I came to.
Finally passed after 3 attempts this video definitely helped thank you 😊
Glad it helped!
Have failed my test four times now, am doing my fifth one tomorrow I just pray I pass
Good luck and draw upon the previous experience.
@@JamesTravis thanks Travis I pass my test this morning with 2 minors

No, but that would be a good subject to record
very helpful thank you :)
Good luck
I passed today first time with 2 minors and your these videos helped me with that, thank you!
Congratulations on passing
Great
Good luck

True
Love your videos, was wondering, during the driving test what happens if one exceeds the speed limit by 1 or 2 . E.g 30mph for 31 or 32 mph
if it is only for a few seconds and you bring it down, then it is a driving fault for use of speed. But if it continues at that speed or rises more, then a serious for use of speed.
You make it look so easy 😭😭😭
Thank you for watching. Safe driving

Can you do a video on correct method of using clutch to slow down / stop as I have gotten bad habit of using it too early and that caused me to fail my mock test . Also any advice on getting the manoeuvres right first time , thank you .
was it classed as coasting when slowing down?
hi Travis thanks for your driving tips and making these videos. a quick question regarding using the car- can i use someone else's car, like friends or one of the family members. would i need to provide an evidence before the test of the ownership of the car. Thanks
As long as you have valid tax for the car and insurance for you on that car then you are good to go. The examiner will ask you if the car you are driving is taxed and insured for the test.
Why are these roads so narrow?!
Hi Travis,it is necessary to signal left or right in a roundabout with a filters control light arrow?
i would signal
can you use a heads up desplay on a drivind test
Should be ok
Thank you so much for your reply, one more thing , is it ok if I maintain 25mph on a 30mph during the driving test ? Will I be termed too slow or show I keep it to 27mph
This video might help explain things

@@JamesTravis thank you so much for your fast reply. I have seen a shift sign come up on the dashboard whenever it asks for additional gear.
I am struggling to book the driving test. What is the best way/app to book the test? Please help me sir 🙏🙏
Go online on Monday at 6am, that’s when all the new ones are released
@@JamesTravis Thanks a lot Sir 🙏
If you turn into a deceleration lane too widely can that be a serious? Heard something like that
Yes you could if it’s wide enough for two lanes. Keep to the left as you enter.
I just got a cancellation for next Tuesday to say I'm shocked is an understatement I know im ready I think because I've failed 5 times I just feel like I'm never gonna pass I want it so much I've got a car and I just want to drive it on my own.

If ppl have their driving test soon then they should know what an open or closed junction is 😂
Excellent
