For the guys who are going for test: I HAVE FAILED TWO TIMES, and I was fed up I almost give up to go for test cause I thought I’m good driver especially when u have driving experience. But the truth it’s not about assessors or luck. JUST LEARN THE RULES FOLLOW THE RULES AND MOST IMPORTANTLY PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE, I have pumped the fuels more than two times and I showed 3rd time with me car after I got too many practice. And now successfully passed. My advice to the guys who are going to do exam. 1. Never ever Panic or Hesitate 2. Believe that your best driver in the wold and you are going to teach how to drive to assessors 3. Never ever speed up 4. Never ever competitive with experience driver 5. Just follow the rules 6. Don’t care about other drivers just be calm and slow and drive 7. PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE My best wishes to the guys who are going to do the exam. Remember if you fail never give up if pass never forget the mistakes that you have done . All the very best, I’m pretty sure that you will pass the test, all the success will come to you Practice well. God Bless You always. Driver safe!
Thanks mate I’ve been driving in busy cities in Asia for twenty years. These west Australian roads are insane. I failed my first test because of a dual carriageway and same for the second today Pretty ready to give up, gonna do it one more time. I have to move interstate early next year and I’ve heard it’s easier there so if all else fails, there’s that. But damn. Watching the way some of these road users drive I’m like woah!
Thank you for all your hard work making these videos for us. Passed my PDA at Kelmscott yesterday, first attempt. My assessor was lovely, he talked the entire time, about himself, his family, everything under the sun, not to distract, but to calm my nerves. Wishing everyone else taking their driving test all the best.
"I have driven more than 60,000 kilometers around different suburbs in Perth in the last 7 months, and now I plan to watch your videos to get more information and clear up some confusions before my upcoming test. Let's see what happens. Thank you for your generosity in sharing valuable information for free on RUclips. Your dedication to educating and helping others is truly commendable.❤
To pass a driving assessment in Western Australia, all candidates must meet the standard by achieving at least all minimum scores of the criteria and pass 4 of the 5 sections (minimum requirement), providing that no endorsements are recorded in the "Discontinue" or "Fail" boxes on the assessment sheet. Feel free to contact us for more details.
Got a bit of a story for you, if you're willing to listen. I first got my L plates at the age of 23 (after life circumstances preventing me doing it earlier) I did a few driving lessons from 2 different instructors who told me confidently to do the test as I would pass with flying colours. The first time, I booked a test nice and early but sadly failed due to nerves, upsetting and off putting so it took me a whole other year to try again and behold I get the same driving instructor (who was 6 minutes late) in midland again, he comments on how he has taken me before, proceeded to yell at me when i accidently didn't test the indicator properly and completely shattered my confidence, anyway after the test he told me I had failed again! When I asked why? He told me "I don't really have a valid reason, I just don't believe you are ready" he didn't even give me a sheet to say what I failed on, completley devestated by this, it has crippled me from wanting to ever try again. I am now nearly 28 and still on my L plates, this is ruining my life and will do anything to get my license at this point... Any ideas on what I should do? (Sorry for the rant)
Practical driving assessment will be DISCONTINUED under following circumstances: - In the judgment of the assessor, the candidate is not capable of taking the assessment - Candidate's vehicle is not roadworthy - Candidate's car is not appropriate for the class or a type of licence they are sitting the test for - Candidate's vehicle breaks down during the PDA - A bribe or inducement is offered - if something that would not typically be present during the PDA adversely affects the authenticity or validity of the test
The following list indicates the immediate FAIL of the Practical Driving Assessment - The assessor gives assistance or has to intervene to avoid a potentially dangerous situation - Candidate disobeys any regulatory sign or marking - Candidate speeds - Candidate disobeys any traffic regulation that immediately or potentially threatens safety - Candidate drives without wearing seat belt - Candidate fails to respond to a crisis that would normally be anticipated by an experienced driver - Candidate causes crisis or potential crisis - Candidate refuses to attempt or is unable to perform any part of an exercise - Candidate refuses to follow a reasonable instruction given by the assessor
The full reply to ShowtimeShambles RUclips User When you go for your practical driving assessment, your seat will be adjusted before you even sit in the car with the assessor (assuming you are using a driving school). Any qualified instructor should be able to guide you to set it up. If your position is incorrect, you may lose marks or fail depending on your distance from all controls. Try extending your arms over the top of the steering wheel as you back is against the seat, if your wrists reach the top of the steering wheel then you will be in a correct position. As a result, when you hold a steering wheel, your arms/elbows will be bent at around 110-degree angle. Also, your knees cannot be fully extended. The height of driver's seat is adjustable. Make sure you are positioned at a comfortable height so you can see over the dashboard. This is an excellent guide. We have following vehicles: Toyota Corolla, Hyundai i30, Getz, Toyota Yarris, Kia Rio and Mitsubishi Lancer. Feel free to contact us www.drivingschoolwa.com/contact/ we would be delighted to help.
I booked a PDA test online just last week now I got a spot booked for this Monday. I was lucky to get a booking so early! But a bit unprepared though. I need to pass this because I need it for work!
Good luck! Try driving in the area (wherever your test is) a few hours before. Follow discretely people who do tests in the area if possible, watch our relevant videos (exercise left something behind, test routes etc). Let us know how you go
@@DrivingSchoolWA I failed the test :( I didn't have a good driving instructor. I paid $15 for my driving session with Ryde program. I did good though.
As we are getting close to having a driving teen, we have been asking recently about people who have just gone through the system. Three bits of advice keep popping up. 1. Do not do the test in a private car, use an instructors car. Implies professional lessons. 2. No-one seems to pass on their birthday. 3. Do NOT do your test in Mandurah. Experiences from multiple people seems the assessors there are notorious about lying to fail an applicant.
I don’t know if it is different in WA than it is in QLD but here if you go even 1 kilometre over the speed limit it’s an immediate fail.😬 Slightly terrified to do my driving test this Thursday...
Whattt thats crazy lol! Theyll let us off with 2-4kmh over but anymore and theyll take points off. Obviously if you severely speed, then its an instant fail
Going to be going for my Car license after 7 years of riding a Motorcycle only. Going to be weird going from something small to something big, specially when it comes to reversing because you know, bikes can't really do that... so zero idea how it feels.
I failed my pda in midland because I didn't look left and right as I crossed the train crossing and the tester guy couldn't explain why I need to look. Is this the new rule? Why should I look? There was no red light !?
Hi Liana, the reason they prefer candidates to look left and right while approaching a level railway crossing is a potential glitch in the system operating boom gates. A mulfunction of warnig lights and boom gates is very unlikely but not imposible.
You sure can as long as you do the assessment before the expiry date. To renew your learner's permit you only need to make a payment in person at any DOT office after it expires. Best regards
@@maricelmonta9562 I didn’t pass, I was too nervous and wasn’t focusing enough. I did a 3rd test at city west and it was much better than Mirrabooka, they are so helpful and nice. My advice is to keep breathing and try stay focused and not get nervous
This might be a stupid question but will I get a penalty/fail if I don't do the 'Push and Pull' motion during my PDA when steering and instead to 'Hand over Hand Cross'? I feel as though I'm more comfortable doing the cross over motion when turning.
Hi Lavenia, the push-pull routine doesn't apply any more. You won't get penalised as long as you don't let both hands off the steering wheel. Also, no palming. Sorry about delayed reply as we have been very busy. Let us know how you go.
Hi sir just a small request: Could you please explain how to check your mirrors when overtaking a parked vehicle and why this is important? Thanks (I’m from nsw)
Hey I have a quick question. When you drive up to a give way sign and there are no cars at all, do you still completely stop for a few seconds or do you slowly drive through it without stopping at all. Thanks for the video btw very helpful.
Thanks for watching. No, we don't stop completely if there are no vehicles/pedestrians we need to give way to. Anticipate the intersection on approach and proceed if there is nobody to "give way" to. Proceed with caution and be aware if there is anyone too close behind you. Remember to check your rear view mirror when the speed flactuates
Thank you so much mate. Been looking on the internet for a while and couldn't find anything that was clear. Thanks heaps. My test is this thursday btw.
Good luck on Thursday, just go with the flow. Make sure you stop at any stop signs completely and not too far from the line, but of course without overshooting the white line.
The best we can suggest is to practice in the simulator as much as you can. We have a video HPT here and simulator links in the description of the video. Good luck, let us know how you go
Can you fail for too much looking or looking around unnecessarily? My assessor said I didn’t look enough so I might look everywhere next time. I will even look at the back window during a forward park
It must be reasonable. Try observing better when your speed fluctuates, and when parking. Also, anticipate 'give way intersections/roundabouts' from the distance. Looking everywhere for no reason will not help
What speed would be better if there is turning road with intersection around residential areas or quite street? Also when you overtake a parked vehicle on the street can we slow down a car little bit or should’t?
Turning 90-degree corners shouldn't be faster than 20 km per hour, sometimes even slower if you can't see the traffic from a distance. Turning right at a T junction may require better anticipation depending on an angle and visibility from a distance on approach. Bear in mind if there is a Stop sign, you must completely stop.
The answer to your second question, you shouldn't slow down when overtaking a parked vehicle on side of the road unless there is a car from opposite direction that you need to give way to
Good Evening, if im turning right at the lights and there is two lanes after i turned do I A) turn into the right lane then switch to left or B) instantly go in to the left lane? Thanks.
Straight over to the left lane if safe to do so. If you do it separately (if both lanes are empty) they will mark you for performing two manoeuvres instead of one. Best regards!
For the wrong gear part. Can you be marked wrong for leaving it in second gear if you're going to be turning soon but could go to 3rd? Even if you'll only be in 3rd for only about 5-10 seconds before swapping back down again for a give way corner?
It depends on the situation, there may be multiple factors impacting every individual situation. Assessors will not mark down for leaving in second gear for a short time providing you are at the correct speed range and not holding anyone up from behind for too long as a result. Cheers!
@@DrivingSchoolWA That's what I thought. I thought it was more about driving at the correct speed and being safe. My instructor thinks that itll be a vehicle management fail if I leave it in 2nd, even though I'm going the right speed with a corner coming up in 100 meters so changing is pointless. Also, for the stop for shopping exercise, can you be marked as a flow fail if you don't get it within the bay perfectly the first time? As in you're slightly closer to one side and drive forward and reverse to fix it. I've been warned about that by my instructor, and it seems kinda petty. As though learners need to be able to park perfectly every time..
Gday mate, whilst on a roundabout do you need to check your middle mirror side mirror and shoulder check when before you indicate and exit the roundabout?
Just your rear view mirror as your speed fluctuates on approach to the roundabout and when slowing down inside of a roundabout. Also, know what's behind you and how close when you exit a round about or any intersection for that matter. No need for a shoulder check nor side mirrors while inside of the roundabout. Cheers!
what is the minimum points per section to pass the PDA? I seem to have difficulties choosing the right driveway for 'left something behind' and im worried the whole task would lose me so many points. same as stopping for shopping.
Keep it simple. Pick the first available driveway, street or a roundabout (if there's one in the close proximity) and anticipate any traffic throughout the process. Let us know how you go next time
Im wondering about the particulars of driving a vehicle, for example the steps before turning on the vehicle. If I do the "setting up of the car" in the wrong order or my chair isn't in the right place that my instructor feels isn't adequate. Is this a fail or lose of points? I am from overseas and have been driving for years. However getting my Australian licence has proven to be nothing but, surprising. My instructor has me sitting uncomfortably in my seat commenting that i drive like a "grandma" he has moved my seat yet i find it difficult to reach the brake/accelerator. Its critical that I'm able to obtain my licence but how i have lost almost all confidence and I'm beyond frustrated. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Hi there, when you go for your practical driving assessment your seat will be adjusted before you even sit in the car with the assessor. If your position is incorrect you may lose marks or fail depending on your distance from all controls.
Hi there, first of all, they shouldn't fail on static turning. Loss of points would be reasonable but not fail. It's always been a rule though. Some assessors can be unreasonable at times. Not many drivers die because of static turning. They should be focusing on safety aspects of driving more. Best of luck next time. Thank you for watching!
Driving School WA thanks for your reply. I failed because i did it more than 2 to 3 times i think. But ye everything else was mostly fine besides me forgetting to indicate out a round about once. Thanks
I have my test next week! One question in relation to hill starts. Am I permitted to use the heel-toe method for hill starts or must I use the handbrake method. Also with turning methods at low speeds, are arms allowed to cross over or is the push-pull technique mandatory at all times regardless of vehicle speed. It just seems very tedious in a car park to be pushing and pulling the wheel where I could be crossing arms over to complete the turn easier and smoother. Thanks for the video!!
Hii Good morning. I have a test on 25 th October in Nannup in WA . Do i need to do more practice . I actually drive a car for almost one year . Nannup is new area for me . I never been there before. Gve me some advice. Really help . Thanks
We couldn't reply earlier, unfortunately. There can never be too much practice, so drive as much as possible. The assessors will look at the same criteria everywhere in WA. Looking, signalling, path, movement, flow and vehicle management
Hello sir, can you please help me to understand about mistake when i have driving test Movement: fail to adjust movement to suit situation- Approach too slow- turn left/right( general driving) What does that mean? Thank you so much sir.

Do we have to turn off the ignition while stopping for left something behind? And thank you for the video, you put in, it is really helpful.
No need to turn the engine off. Rarely the assessor will ask you to do it, but it's not the requirement.
You are most welcome!
What speed would be better if there is turning road with intersection around residential areas or quite street? Also when you overtake a parked vehicle on the street can we slow down a car little bit or should’t?
Turning 90-degree corners shouldn't be faster than 20 km per hour, sometimes even slower if you can't see the traffic from a distance. Turning right at a T junction may require better anticipation depending on an angle and visibility from a distance on approach. Bear in mind if there is a Stop sign, you must completely stop.
The answer to your second question, you shouldn't slow down when overtaking a parked vehicle on side of the road unless there is a car from opposite direction that you need to give way to
Got my test tomorrow I’m so dam nervous
Kaos Xtrem how’d you go?
Ben Callaghan failed :(
Good Evening, if im turning right at the lights and there is two lanes after i turned do I
A) turn into the right lane then switch to left or
B) instantly go in to the left lane?
Thanks.
Straight over to the left lane if safe to do so. If you do it separately (if both lanes are empty) they will mark you for performing two manoeuvres instead of one. Best regards!
For the wrong gear part. Can you be marked wrong for leaving it in second gear if you're going to be turning soon but could go to 3rd? Even if you'll only be in 3rd for only about 5-10 seconds before swapping back down again for a give way corner?
It depends on the situation, there may be multiple factors impacting every individual situation. Assessors will not mark down for leaving in second gear for a short time providing you are at the correct speed range and not holding anyone up from behind for too long as a result. Cheers!
@@DrivingSchoolWA That's what I thought. I thought it was more about driving at the correct speed and being safe. My instructor thinks that itll be a vehicle management fail if I leave it in 2nd, even though I'm going the right speed with a corner coming up in 100 meters so changing is pointless. Also, for the stop for shopping exercise, can you be marked as a flow fail if you don't get it within the bay perfectly the first time? As in you're slightly closer to one side and drive forward and reverse to fix it. I've been warned about that by my instructor, and it seems kinda petty. As though learners need to be able to park perfectly every time..
I have my test on monday at Kelmscott. I’m really nervous 😩 tips anyone?
I got driving exam today 12:30pm hope me luck ☺️💕
Yea thank you so much 💕 i passed my exam yesterday💗💞
Ive got a Full License!
Gday mate, whilst on a roundabout do you need to check your middle mirror side mirror and shoulder check when before you indicate and exit the roundabout?
Just your rear view mirror as your speed fluctuates on approach to the roundabout and when slowing down inside of a roundabout. Also, know what's behind you and how close when you exit a round about or any intersection for that matter. No need for a shoulder check nor side mirrors while inside of the roundabout. Cheers!
Driving School WA thanks legend, love ya work!
Driving School WA also, are there any certain questions they ask you before you start the ps test?
what is the minimum points per section to pass the PDA? I seem to have difficulties choosing the right driveway for 'left something behind' and im worried the whole task would lose me so many points. same as stopping for shopping.
Keep it simple. Pick the first available driveway, street or a roundabout (if there's one in the close proximity) and anticipate any traffic throughout the process. Let us know how you go next time
Im wondering about the particulars of driving a vehicle, for example the steps before turning on the vehicle. If I do the "setting up of the car" in the wrong order or my chair isn't in the right place that my instructor feels isn't adequate. Is this a fail or lose of points? I am from overseas and have been driving for years. However getting my Australian licence has proven to be nothing but, surprising. My instructor has me sitting uncomfortably in my seat commenting that i drive like a "grandma" he has moved my seat yet i find it difficult to reach the brake/accelerator. Its critical that I'm able to obtain my licence but how i have lost almost all confidence and I'm beyond frustrated. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Hi there, when you go for your practical driving assessment your seat will be adjusted before you even sit in the car with the assessor. If your position is incorrect you may lose marks or fail depending on your distance from all controls.
Legendary
I have assessment 7.5 tonne track next week and i have no any express at all what advise you give me please?
I have no experience 7.5 tonne track at all
I GOT MY TEST IN AN HOUR AHHH
I just failed in Mandurah for stationary steering. Is that a new rule or? Cause I only did stationary steering when parking
Hi there, first of all, they shouldn't fail on static turning. Loss of points would be reasonable but not fail. It's always been a rule though. Some assessors can be unreasonable at times. Not many drivers die because of static turning. They should be focusing on safety aspects of driving more. Best of luck next time. Thank you for watching!
Driving School WA thanks for your reply. I failed because i did it more than 2 to 3 times i think. But ye everything else was mostly fine besides me forgetting to indicate out a round about once. Thanks
I have my test next week! One question in relation to hill starts. Am I permitted to use the heel-toe method for hill starts or must I use the handbrake method. Also with turning methods at low speeds, are arms allowed to cross over or is the push-pull technique mandatory at all times regardless of vehicle speed. It just seems very tedious in a car park to be pushing and pulling the wheel where I could be crossing arms over to complete the turn easier and smoother. Thanks for the video!!
How’d you go!?
Hi, i need advice on how to correctly use indicators when conducting the "left something behind" exercise using driveways. Thanks
check our whiteboard Exercise Left Something Behind Video
Doing the test in manual done the 120 hours but have only done 30 in manual do you think I'll need more in a manual?
your instructor is the best person to give you that advice
The music is so annoying, hardly can hear you talking!
got my test in 6 days, how do I help with nerves?
Hii
Good morning. I have a test on 25 th October in Nannup in WA . Do i need to do more practice . I actually drive a car for almost one year . Nannup is new area for me . I never been there before. Gve me some advice. Really help . Thanks
We couldn't reply earlier, unfortunately. There can never be too much practice, so drive as much as possible. The assessors will look at the same criteria everywhere in WA. Looking, signalling, path, movement, flow and vehicle management
Why am I watching this, my test is in 10 months
Hello sir, can you please help me to understand about mistake when i have driving test
Movement: fail to adjust movement to suit situation- Approach too slow- turn left/right( general driving)
What does that mean? Thank you so much sir.
It means that you slowed down too soon on approach to the intersection to turn
Yes, i did it again but failed because i left wrong side when leaving car park, very sad
Turn the music off
i failed for doing 3-4ks over🙃 qld sucks to take your test in i swear
Got my test in about 2 hours. So nervous
