Alot of people get stressed about getting lost or taking the wrong turn, yes it’s inconvenient but there will always be somewhere to pull over and turn around or figure out your way again. Its not the end of the world. Its better to stay calm and find a suitable place to compose yourself rather then panicking and possibly causing a crash from panicking mistakes. :)
This is glorious, I been tryin to find out about "hodophobia" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Riyaliyah Driving Epiphany - (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my brother in law got excellent results with it.
I accept what you said - it's not as easy than some people make out to overcome fear of driving. Be cautious and seek advice from others. I searched round a few sites and found some expert advice by searching google on websites like Roys Quick Fix. Good luck and hope you are successful!
Incorrect. My old instructor didn't even teach me a reverse park , because it isn't essential, you always drive in head first then reverse out as it's easier and safer
AJ maggie Let me tell you that it is essential. If you don’t know how to reverse bay park you will struggle at some point in your driving life. it really does depend on the test centre and what your examiner feels like with what manoeuvre you get.
i live in london and i think its the easiest place to drive... there aren't many gradients and the roundabouts are more traffic light controlled which is way easier... i have to drove to high wycombe a lot for university and its harder driving there because all the roads are very narrow and on steep gradients
They asked me to do a reverse bay park in the test centre (which I did successfully). My test was also in mid March and passed 1st time after a ton of lessons.
I mastered the reverse bay park, its easy after a while cause you can literally see where you're going, but with the parallel park (that I had on the test) you can't see where the back wheel is and I found it can go a bit wrong from time to time.
Congrats on passing Gemma, fun video. One piece of advice is I'm not sure how great filming from the passenger seat is for security. I don't mean to be creepy but I thought I'd rather warn you than just not say anything. I realised that someone could easily watch the roads you're going on and know how to get to your house. I suggest setting up the camera on the windshield facing you directly, not revealing much of what's visible on the windows. Otherwise, good video and keep it up!
Congrats on passing your test gal!! But defos leave the vlogging in the car out for a few months til you’re confident behind the wheel. Remember your responsible for your’s and other peoples lives when you drive!
Reverse bay park is a very useful manoeuvre though, so very worth practising, whether or not it's needed for the test; personally, I find it easier to back IN, than OUT into possible traffic. I'd sooner be creeping forward than backward. As a resident of the extra-London orbital region, I rarely drive my car into London - it just seems awkward and pointless the times I DO do it (some of the outer boroughs outside of peak times aren't THAT bad though). So even though I drive, I mainly use public transport in London - that's usually the more convenient option but it's always nice to have a car to hand as well.
I have just passed my test and haven’t yet got my car as there is supposedly a shortage of new cars so I won’t get it for a while . I came across this video by accident and I’m guessing I’m going to be exactly like you the first time I drive on my own . I am so nervous about doing it
I got a reverse bay park at the test centre before I did any road driving. I passed with 1 minor. The reverse bay park was what I was hoping to get because the reverse bay park and the parelel park is my strongest points. I was relieved to get the reverse park out of the way.
I passed on Thursday.I did Parel park and reverse into bay at test center. I was last car back and all others didn't need to park back in bay but near building
not really.. Theory teaches you the bare basics but without a certain amount of experience. (a couple years worth at least) youre just not going to be a good driver. Its all muscle memory and you only gain that through experience. Theory cant teach you that
I just passed a few days ago, getting my car end of this month, you're driving manual right, how long did it take you to get used to driving alone and just driving in general
ey congrats!! yes I'm driving a manual, literally its been like a month and I'm so comfortable with it now feels like I've been doing it forever, lit was just nervous the first time then its calm!
Loved this!! you going the wrong way reminds me of when my boyfriend was just passed, we were supposed to be going to lakeside and we ended up at Canary Wharf instead as he forgot to take the turning and we went over the dartford crossing and the sat nav was set to no tolls so it took us through a tunnel in London instead of getting us to just turn around so it added over an hour onto our journey when we had been about 2 minutes from lakeside 😂
Yay, I recognise my area. Since I live near there as a learner I have to get on that dual carriageway and roundabout many times, it gets easier trust me. Congratulations !!
I passed a month ago still haven't bought a car yet. I'm not worried about driving to work it's more like entering the big bend before my work and entering the work carpark.
My first test they gave me the reverse bay park, it’s my favourite manoeuvre so I wasn’t that bothered. I passed yesterday with 2 minors, and had the forward bay.
Hey, new to the channel. It appeared on recommendations! Congrats on passing first time. I passed first time back in 2014 when I was 17 and now I drive for a living. The anxiety about driving through cities happens to the best of us. I took a wrong turn in Cardiff in January and ended up in a bus gate, which was a £35 mistake. 😂 Anyway, you’ve got a new sub. Keep it up. 👍🏼
Did u use a gps on ur first drive? I did even tho I knew the route, I jus used it for reassurance and in case I took a wrong turn it would have redirected the route
They can ask you to do a reverse bay park otherwise you wouldn’t be taught it, i had one on my test two years ago and a lot of people I know have done recently
I’m shocked at the never being asked to reverse bay park? I passed my test back in November, and that was my manoeuvre? Maybe that was just my test centre but I thought it was the same across the uk lol
Yeah I just pass my test now I’m scared to drive by myself. Especially having a family sitting next to you 🤣 I’m using a gps even if I’m going around the corner
Well done x I get more scared driving from Medway to Maidstone to work than I did doing a long motorway drive to Bognor and back. I passed my test in gillingham but did a mock at Belvedere the most hardest test centre
How is it now? I drove for the first time after passing today and it was so bad literally worse than the actual test…😭 24th January 2023 (Edit: driving is fun so dw)
it's been a long time since this video's uploaded. so How're you doing now with driving. have you got any points or absolutely clean? as I just passed my driving by test and afraid to drive alone. thinking not to go on motorway for two years. two years are probationary period ☺️
Hello, just found this video, I'll be having my driving test soon, I found this video fun and also helpful, I see you didnt enjoy the drive because you got lost but was nice to see you got home safely, Whats the insurance prices like? and thank you for making this video, i really enjoyed it! :)
Hannah Stewart yeah I passed my test in November and I also had to do a reverse park and i also did the first time I did my test(failed first time lol). Apparently it depends where you take it if it’s in the city centre or not
pretend it's just another driving lesson with a different passenger and easier said than done but don't panic! most of the time mistakes can be corrected and take your time with things like manoeuvres x good luck!
I really love driving now! When I posted my last reply I would never have imagined myself ever being able to say that but it’s true. I absolutely hated driving for such a long time but once I passed and started getting used to it I completely changed my opinion. Getting in my car, putting on my music and driving is one of the best feelings. You’ll get there with time, don’t worry. Wishing you luck x
Hi Gemma I would love to do a reaction video to this soo good. I’m a instructor and I feel you pain I also make all these mistakes when driving as a young lad lol. Would add your channel in the video let me know thanks Scott
@@GemmaChitt excellent I know all the roads you were on and will describe how difficult they are. I live in chiswick so if you mate need lessons they can check your video i'll send the link in this comment after. so happy will do the video tomorrow thanks.

Omg that’s me now 😅😂
I think the reverse bay park is just for where you live. If the test centre has a car park then 1 in 4 will get the reverse park!!
yeah maybe everyone seems to have got a reverse bay park in the comments😩

@@alishadavison5289 it's harder and more dangerous, I don't know if you just believe everything you're told or that you're just stupid
For my first test i got parallel park but for my second i got reverse bay and third is when i passed and got reverse aswell x
i live in london and i think its the easiest place to drive... there aren't many gradients and the roundabouts are more traffic light controlled which is way easier... i have to drove to high wycombe a lot for university and its harder driving there because all the roads are very narrow and on steep gradients

“you’ll never be asked to do a reverse bay park” I’ve had two tests this month... both had a reverse bay park 😂
yep i’ve def got that wrong just what i was told lol
Gemma Chitt you can only be asked to do the reverse park in the test centre car park. So if there isn’t a car park you won’t be asked to do it
omg haha this reminded me of when i first got my license and driving was SO STRESSFUL! congrats on passing! x
tell me about it!! thanks girl xxx
I spot Grenfell in the back! 💚 my sister has accidentally taken that exit before I know how you felt 😂

Honestly Gemma is so addictive and deserves way more subscribers
omg queen thanksss
I love watching drive with me’s!
I passed my test yesterday and I had a reverse bay park
6:34 - I had to do a reverse bay park today as my manoeuvre but managed to pass still!

Can’t wait to start driving ... I’m doing my theory in a couple of days but I wanna pass before summer. Started lessons on February

omg this video just cemented all my fears of doing an actual drive with me video hahah xx
This whole video is me trying to get through my GCSE’s

This is an honest representation of myself when I passed my test😂 if you are where I think you are I’ve fu*ked up on that roundabout so many times 🤨

Hi great video I did my test yesterday (12/12/19) and I had to do a reverse bay park
I’m so sad because I’m too young to start to drive but I can’t wait until I can drive and I can get myself anywhere I want 😁😁
gives u so much freedom honestly!
Literally me, this is why google maps will be a must everywhere I go. Its my flipping now 3rd time failing my theroy uhh 😬.
My first test they gave me the reverse bay park, it’s my favourite manoeuvre so I wasn’t that bothered. I passed yesterday with 2 minors, and had the forward bay.
eyy congratulations!!
Gemma Chitt thank you!!
I just got me license to and holy shit it’s weird driving alone, it’s been only say a week of me doing it and I’m still avoiding the freeway lol
isn’t it so wierd!!! feels like it’s illegal😂and yeah same i haven’t been on the motorway yet - think that’s the same as the freeway lol
How is it now? I drove for the first time after passing today and it was so bad literally worse than the actual test…😭

Thankyou for doing this I just passed my driving test on Friday 13th 🙂🥳🚗how did you fine it without an instructor
Did u use a gps on ur first drive? I did even tho I knew the route, I jus used it for reassurance and in case I took a wrong turn it would have redirected the route
I passed in may and had reverse bay park!
This is when the fun begins & when you truly learn how to drive!! Enjoy 🤪 I think you did well considering...
aw thanks queen!! and so true omg its so different being without someone next to u
They can ask you to do a reverse bay park otherwise you wouldn’t be taught it, i had one on my test two years ago and a lot of people I know have done recently
ye I got that now lol about 40 people have told me
Your hair is so blonde now it looks beaut 🔥💯
aw omg thank you!!!

inveraray is the easiest place to pass apparently , its a small town in Scotland with empty roads
You'd fail the test for clapping, 😂
Hahaha
@@Berry-Xd Literally, if you take both hands off the wheel its a fail, that's what my instructor said anyway.
Hey Gemma you kay today thanks for the driving sunday
i got asked to do reverse bay park aha
whatt apparently they can’t make anyone do that anymore!!
