I failed my first time due to not using proper signaling when doing parallel parking and 3 point turn. Its ok though, I got my second try tomorrow, hoping to get it! (It took 5 times to get my permit so hopefully I get it this time!)

@@lilsmallz1561 Suprsingly not much I took my test in a town and all I did was drive around a bit and changed lanes it was really easy but it might be different for you.
@@SkyThePegasus I think test measures depend on the test centre, city and instructors a lot. Some instructors are really strict and want that one reason so that they can fail you. And some are so easy that even if u make a mistake, they are okay with it and pass you. IMO more than passing the test, it should be important to become a safe driver. U don’t want to keep hitting other vehicles after u get your license. Cos that will be more trouble than failing your road test n appearing the next time with improved driving skills.
I failed twice because of my high anxiety. I finally passed missing nothing on the test because I was comfortable who I was with. If you failed and haven’t gotten your license yet, it’s okay. No rush take your time and if you fail you can always try again. Trust I was down in the dumps and I had a stressful year losing my dad, working, and taking care of my grandma. You guys got this!!!
I failed my road test today due to my anxiety hit a curb doing a right turn and that little thing cost me getting the license. got that as a lesson being anxious will get nobody no where and just relax cuz everything will be ok. Yo Guys ima take my 2nd try this wendsday im excited not nervous or anxious no more finally to get this liscense.
@@anoushkashenoy692 the anxiety is just in the mind ever since i failed my driving test i dont get anxious that much is just in ur head u will be fine just breath and believe and have positive energy
For those nervous about the test just remember that at the end of the day it is up to the instructor to pass/ fail you for whatever they want. I hit the curb while backing up when I took mine and still passed. Confidence is key!
@ Lalia Hamidi thanks for the advice and encouragement I'm taking my test tomorrow and I'm nervous I want t pass my first try I'm tired of just having a permit
I passed my test January, my hints: - Look at your mirrors every 5 seconds - It’s better to be slow than speed. You don’t have to go exactly your speed limit. Maybe 1-2 below. - Take your TIME. Don’t let other driver honk at you, it’s your test. Do not feel the need to rush. - practice!!
@@jonathancaballero8976 Yeah, that’s why I said 1-2 below. 5 is WAAYY too slow. Where I live, the maximum speed limit is 50. So I will usually do 48-49. Not 45
@@Aaron-kp6kp it’s just frustrating. there were barely any other vehicles that i could pose a danger to. ain’t nun i can do about it now. Thank you though. Wish i seen your comment before i took the test.

After failing my driving test twice, I finally got my license without having to retake the test. I noticed that many instructors seem to fail students on purpose, probably because it lines their pockets when we have to come back for another try. To get around this, I decided to contact a private licensed DMV attorney who assisted me in writing a letter to request a provisional license etc. Thanks to the help, my provisional license was delivered right to my mailbox box which isn't much different from an official license.
hi! can you explain a bit better what does a provisional license mean? is it the same as the learners permit, meaning that you can only drive with another licensed driver in the car or what?
I got my permit at 16 and I'm now 18 and I'm so scared of driving I never went back. I probably need to tho cuz my permit expired and it's not like I can use it for the rest of my life but I also can't even park a car. So they'd probably fail me if I went since I haven't even been on a road with more than one lane and I need my license for my car insurance. Please can you recommend the test drive attorney who did yours?
Lol yes. Dads will point out every little mistake while your driving. My dad sometimes micromanages my driving and not let me make decisions and then get mad at me for not making decisions anymore. I’m still grateful for his teaching and dedication though ❤
Yes, I can see how driving with your Dad would be stressful. Especially if he’s on of those, “nobody drives my truck!” types. Glad you survived. All the very best, Cheers Rick
Dad used to yell at us as kids for making too much noise cause it distracts him from driving Yet he sees nothing weird about the fact that yelling at the top of his lungs during, after and before I make a mistake can be a “ tad distracting” It’s ironic cause when studying about the test and preparing to drive one of things mentioned as things that lead to crashes is distractable passengers, and how if they ain’t willin’ to stay vigilant and not distract and listen to the driver they’re as dangerous as beer or a phone and should be out and/or completely away from the driver at all times Cut mfs like that out 😤
After 2 fails I finally got my license! It's pretty easy for the evaluator to fail you for simple mistakes so keep your head up if it happens. Failure doesn't necessarily mean you're a bad driver. Keep practicing and go at it again. You're bound to get someone who believes in you. But for me I took a step further by contacting a private license and professional dmv agent that helped me to write a provisional letter to bypass the test drive and i was given a provisional driver's license which will last for 12 months. I got a license now and it will serve for 1 year then I renew again. My little advice. * If you think are too nervous for the test drive then you can easily switch to a provisional driver's license which you won't need to test drive.
Congratulations to you and thanks for you splendid advice and at the same time motivation lol, never knew something like that was possible. Quick question isn’t the permit the same as a provisional license?
I'm gonna be 27 and still don't have my license because my family always keeps me inside the house. Luckily I applied for jobs to find my way out of this cage. They only taught me to drive i neighbourhoods and shame me for not getting a license like my younger cousin who's mom is less strict. I'm tired of it and am tired of my life being drained, I want to take action for my own life and am doing it slowly but believe soon I can at least get my license if I keep it up with studying and practicing but I don’t think I can cos I got a lotta work to do. Can you help?
no it isnt, a provisional license grant individuals more driving privileges and fewer restrictions than a permit allowing us to drive unsupervised but with certain conditions such as time restriction or limitation on the number of passengers.
Worst mistake I made when learning was trying to mimic what other drivers are doing, especially at intersections. So many people don't adhere to what they've presumably been taught in order to have their licence. Always best to just follow the instructor and not take other people's actions as an example.
You are oh so right my friend. What you observed is called social driving. It’s the way people drive after they get their license. And to pass a driver’s test, you CAN’T drive like that. Also, participating in the habits of social driving are going to increase your chances of being involved in a crash. All the best, Cheers Rick
It wasn’t the most stressful day of my life, but I was a little nervous. I felt confident once the test was in session though, specially after doing the maneuverability. I’m so glad videos like this exist. I passed first try.

It's a really simple idea but the idea of practicing near the testing center and driving those streets blew my mind and I haven't done it yet but I'm sure will be super helpful.
Happy to hear we could help out my friend. And after-hours or on the weekends, you can go into the DMV & practice your backing into a parking spot. All the best, Cheers Rick
Be careful now. don't do it in the same day you're taking your test. I had a friend who practiced on the same day and was told to go home and refused the test.
@@Maria-xd8yc why though? what was the basis? If you're just driving around public roads near the BMV your testing at what grounds do they have to deny you a test?
I remember when I took my driver test about 6 years ago I failed the first time because I “ran a yellow light”. I was stopped at a red light behind a huge dump truck and couldn’t see the light (I was about 2 Cars back). The light turned green and we all went. Well the light turned yellow SO FAST when I was in the middle of making a left turn, and the lady was like “sir you just ran a red light”. I did not say anything but in my head I was thinking “did you want me to stop in the middle of the intersection??” Anyways this is all to say. Air on the side of caution during your test. Just be patient at lights. You may sit at a light through 2 cycles before you can go and that’s okay if it means you will pass the test.
Very very good point.!! Especially if you live a city where the road test route is near industrial zone. Tim Hortons should give you free coffee for a month !!!
I got yelled at for not going when the light turned green, as she finished her last word a firetruck passed me on my left..she failed me for going 2 miles over the speed limit..as u can guess I wasnt over.
thats the biggest issue of every driving test its how the law tells you how to drive but the not the safest or best way to drive becuase while yes caution is great an overabundance will almost 100% garentuee you will run into somebody who road rages
Thank you very much for the videos....I just passed my g2 driving test today....and it's all because of your efforts to help and mine as well for remembering everything.....to anyone who thinks it's hard to get your license....never give up....keep practicing and eventually you will also pass....cheers from Canada

You are right. I failed my test because the person made me feel tense right from the get go. Was an older fella, with a military attitude. Made me feel so uneasy. Do they teach instructors to rattle the people on their tests a bit... cause it felt that way. I get along well with everyone, I don't think it was fair how I was dealt with right out of the gate.
I agree with this 100%. My first time I failed because the instructor kept making small comments but my second time around I had such a kind guy who made me feel extremely relaxed and even allowed me to fix up my parallel parking to get it closer to the curb
@@cbrianie This made me feel a bit better. First time I failed I got a really rude guy, didn’t talk at all, didn’t say goodmorning back, just made me feel on edge the entire time. Made me mess up the parallel parking part and he just said your not getting a second chance.
I passed my driving test on the first try. I nervously breathed in and out and everything went great! Thank you so much for these videos. Time to relocate!!! (Dancing) it's going to be alright, if you just relax. Don't think so hard and follow their directions. God bless everyone!!

Just took my test today and I passed. All I did was parallel park, went to a roundabout did a U-turn, stopped at some signs and crosswalks (on the DMV property). And that was it. Instructor was friendly and decent. Hit the curb two times during parallel parking, but readjusted. He said I did okay and I was fine with that. But I used these videos as reminders to prepare me.

I just passed my road test. I have been watching many of this videos and practicing. Is always nerves but just trust yourself and make sure you practice a lot. I pretended I was driving with my instructor and always making t sure you really turn your head to check blind spots. I hit the curve a bit when parking but it wasn't bad. Just make sure you do all those maneuvers when parking very slow so if you hit the curve is not bad. Also make sure you stay center in the lane even when there is no markings draw one in your head. Good luck everyone!!!

i just made sure to drive as if i was taking a test every time i practiced driving with my permit. my dad would rush me if i didn’t roll through stop signs (among other things) so i only drove with my mom. i had really bad anxiety about driving while i was learning so i got like 25 of my 50 hours just driving in parking lots and neighborhood streets so i could get comfortable and more confident just driving the car without having to worry too much about pedestrians, other drivers, traffic, etc. and every time i drove, i made sure to make full stops at stop signs, stay as close to the speed limit as possible, stop at yellow lights when i could, etc. so that when i was taking the test, i could just drive how i always did when practicing and didn’t have to change how i drove or worry about that at all. “practice as you perform” they say. and then even someone with as much anxiety around driving as me can pass the test first try

driver test tips Before you drive they will check: - drivers window - windshields - rear view mirrors - turn signals front nd back - brake lights - tires - foot brake - horn - emergency parking - windshield wipers - arm signals - defrosters - hazard lights or emergency flashers - headlights - passenger box - glove box - seat belts only can make 15 mistakes and 3 on the check up before u actually drive - over exaggerate everything ex. when switching lanes exaggerate your head movement making sure no cars are coming on the lane you’re switching to - stay calm and collective 🧘🏻♂️ - stay speed limit if you don’t know it it’s always 25 mph - 20 mph in a school zone 🚸 - ACT like u care - be extra aware of your surroundings!

Got my driver's license years ago at this point. Had to take my test twice and honestly a lot of it unfortunately comes down to the instructor you get. First guy answered a personal phone call during my test and gave me points for not pulling out right after he made me pull over to the side of the road to take his call. Gave me points for a whole bunch of other stupid things and I failed. All around a miserable asshole. Second guy was very polite and forgiving. Made some minor errors but he could see that I was clearly competent enough to drive on my own without posing a risk to the lives of others or myself. That was one of the happiest days of my life whereas my first time was one of the worst days of my life. It's an awful feeling knowing your freedom got denied either because of your own mistakes or a sadistic instructor. My advice to anyone who fails because of a bad instructor is to schedule your next road test at a different DMV. Chances are you're still in school so ask around and see where your friends had the most success.

Doing my drivers test honestly felt like a fever dream, I only remember doing hand signals and pointing at the hazard lights, but the actual drive...no memory. Like someone else was in control. I guess I was so nervous that my mind just erased it from my memory. Still passed tho so that’s nice

Just took my first lesson today (I'm a 32 YO) on 90 reverse parking and parallel parking for the state of Minnesota. I was nervous the first hour but after awhile it was no sweat. My driving test is in November. Best of luck to all!
make sure you don’t go to the Eagan dmv. they fail you for the pettiest reasons. failed mine there two times n they both told me i was an excellent driver and very observant, lol make it make sense. good luck when you do go!!
@@laterlars hey hey not trying to scare you or anything, i know there is a guy who works there names chris who’s really nice. most examiners in minnesota are just cranky. i went to will mar for my 3rd test n he seemed upset that he had to pass me and just made me feel awful by saying things like “that’s a good way to get t-boned” and smart remarks like that. you’re gonna do amazing, just take deep breathes and don’t overthink while you’re driving.
Driving test and your mentioning 32. Its a driving test not a wedding or marriage test that you have to mention your age plus who cares hey . You must be single . Although single life is so liberating ;)

1st attempt failed back tires hit curb while turning, 2nd attempt was frustrating, car dint turned ON due steering wheel lock , my driving school never thought me about sterling wheel lock would prevent the car from starting... I had sleepless night after these....took a week break , then passed my 3rd attempt last week finally... the key is to be cool and practice , don’t let negative thoughts influence you , do watch these wonderful videos.. NEVER EVER GIVE UP... 😎 thanks sir for all your videos especially parallel park with cones, I did parallel park like a pro on my test... 🙏🏻

im never going to pass lol. i've literally driven in san francisco with my dad perfectly fine but somehow in my small little town, everything stresses me out with that exam/examiner. i hope i can pass one day but idk
You can do it bro i thought the same way i was almost an hour late to mine because i went to the wrong dmv office i was super anxious but i ended up passing with only 5 errors with a scan ahead comment you got this
Like all the other comments, you got this! Good luck on your test. Remember to breathe. That will cause your body to relax. Drop back and let us know how it goes. All the best, Cheers Rick
I passed my driving test yesterday despite making a few errors (you're going to make some no matter what). I'm a lot older and had to take it because my license was revoked and I never bothered renewing it because I had a lot of people around with access to a car and I work from home. I watched a lot of these videos and learned a lot, but I strongly urge you to find out as much as possible about your local situation and what you need to learn for the road test because a lot of this stuff had no application to my test. Make sure you signal whenever you're moving your car laterally? Nope. I actually started to do it and the guy was like no you don't need to do that. I did need to signal when backing out of a space. He also didn't seem to care much about my steering (which was smooth but a couple of times I only had one hand on the wheel). I got marked down for speeding a couple of miles over a 30 mph limit (Here I learned you would get an automatic fail if you went 5 over). He didn't even mark anything at all until I was about halfway done with the test. I also sat at a red light when instructed to turn right and he never marked it because you are allowed to sit at a red light, you're not blocking traffic doing it (at least here check to see what's up where you live). Sitting at a red light on a right turn is a good time to make adjustments to your car or radio or what have you. I did do shoulder checks but not two of them on a turn and it wasn't a problem. Overall the test was fast and super easy. That may not be the case where you live. A lot of these videos are shot in Europe or Canada and a lot of what they're saying may not apply to you in the US. Here I knew they didn't test for parallel parking but they also didn't make me back into a space or do the driving backwards thing. Again my advice is to do whatever you can to find out about your local dmv and what they actually test on because while it's nice to learn extra things you should be focusing on the core stuff so you pass the test. You can learn some the other stuff later. Just focus on the test.
I passed my road test today first time! So thankful for your videos you have helped me tremendously. it was actually pretty easy I was expecting a state trooper with bulging muscles but it turn out being a sweet little old lady and I didn’t have to parallel park either😅

Passed my drivers test first try. Just remained calm, focused and cautious. I think during my parallel parking I was about a foot and a half to 2 feet from the curb(becuz thr car I took my test in was smaller than a sedan) & when pulling out I almost forgot to put my signal on when exiting, got up to speed rather quickly than the instructor liked me to when getting up to 30mph, other than that I watched other cars carefully and made sure to get in the correct lanes when turning about a few feet to a mile away, stopped at a stop sign or light right at the line and if I needed to move up to see the oppisite traffic I did so after completely stopping and going once it was safe to do so. There was no reverse bay parking or any of that. Jusy remain calm, collected, & like he said in the video. Pick the best answer, not necessarily the right answer.

I just passed my driving test yesterday at the Santa Monica Dmv here in southern california. It was in the middle of rush hour and we literally went around the block once and ended up back in the parking lot. The instructor told me i passed and said that we didn't need to do the backing up portion of the test because there won't be any parking at this time lol. EDIT: it was also my first time and my nerves were shot to hell.

@Prod. Cheesy Flows Yeah, first check your car or if your using a friend’s car drive it for a couple of times so you are familiar with the locations of everything like the wipers, defrost etc. Be calm and pay attention this driving test is just like normal driving by yourself the only different is someone is there watching you so pay attention and stay calm. Practice lots of backing up and parking on the curb. Take you time don’t rush that is a must part of the test. You will do fine 👍

Having passed my test on the first try, it really did sound intimidating and ended up being one of the most gratifying experiences I’ve had. I’ve been driving a little over a year now, and it actually baffles me how many daily encounters I have with people who have little to no regard for other motorists, or their own safety. How they managed to pass their test (regardless of attempts made) is astounding.

I'm so frustrated I failed my first test today!! I was so nervous my instructor was so unfriendly and despite that I did a really good job I was convinced I was gonna pass and when we got back to the dmv she said I did good very minor adjustments but that I was going 36 in a 30mph zone automatic fail all I was doing was going with the flow of traffic ...anyway I want to be accountable im really gonna pay attention to my speed next time I'm gonna take a couple weeks break though because I'm mentally exhausted
The part about the yellow light strikes me as so odd. What it leads to, is drivers approaching the lights focusing so much on the lights themselves that they fail to see what's going on in front of them. What if a pedestrian decides to risk it and cross the street as you approach? Yellow means prepare to stop, not stop. Also, if you're coming in fast, you don't slam the breaks just because the lights go from green to yellow. That's a surefire way of getting rear-ended and having to pay for the damage.
For new drivers, some things have to be "black & white." There can't be a nuance. And too many driver's are under the FALSE impression that yellow lights mean they can proceed or speed up. That's just part of social driving and will NOT pass a driver's test. If you have a 10 lessons with a student, the yellow light thing only happens a couple of time. And after 1 or 2 times, the student gets it figured out. And because driver's must have awareness when driving, they've mapped the intersection and know how close someone is behind them before coming to a stop at an intersection. All the best, Cheers Rick

Great for you! Congratulations I did today I failed for second time I am nervous but today I felt like racism or something. I don’t know what happened I was about to finish my test when I had to do a turn left. In stop and I just passed the line a little bit a little bit when I stoped and the instructor got crazy telling me go back go back! What are you doing!!! And then I did that and ask her and now turn left right? And I wait the light get green and I turn left After that she told change line and turn right, but I felt she told me the two orden so fast! And I did that fast obviously because for turn right was so near! And then she told my husband she felt in dangerous with me! She was a black woman. I don’t know why she didn’t tell me just oh you passed go back not like crazy! Anyway I felt so bad only I have one opportunity.
@@angieBalloonart Hi Angela! Thank you, I know in time you can pass ur test. Just make sure you are confident and relax enough. The examiner can tell if you are nervous. Do a lot of practice and watch more videos about driving test. When you feel ready , you can pass it. Hint: at the stop sign make sure you stop b4 the line and wait for 3 seconds before you go. God bless
Just wanted to say thank you your videos really helped me pass my road test first time (even though I definetly shouldn’t have passed) but appreciate what you do a lot.

Comment here from germany. Love the fact that you show real life examples of: How not to do it. We also fail the test when we switch lanes in the wrong order. 1. Switch on indicator 2. Look over shoulder 3. Make the switch to your lane If your order is incorrect you fail. An question of mine is how many persons are in the vehicle at an exam? We have 3 (you, your driving teacher as co-driver and zur examer in zur backseat)
I did nearly perfect on my test, but at the very end of the test where he told me to go straight and pull in, I missed the very final stop sign because it was on the left instead of right side that I’m used to. This resulted in an automatic fail. I’m taking it again in 3 weeks so hopefully I don’t miss it again.

Good afternoon Mr. Rick August. My name is Paul Rivera a driving instructor here in New York city (Bronx) I saw the video you made with Big Mac Sam and I have to say that I am impressed at how well you adjusted to New York driving. BTW I am one of your followers and subscribers and I watch many of your videos and use them as reference in most of my classes. I have to tell you that Sam and I worked together at 10 and 2 driving school and I consider Sam to be one of the best in the field. Learning is a continuous process and after 55 years on the road I am still learning. I hold you And Sam in very high regards and I just want to say thank you for your contribution in the field of driving. Best Wishes Paul Rivera

Im 22 years old and I'm gonna take my test in a week. I think im a pretty good driver but i have an anxiety disorder, and when I have bad anxiety i tend to shake really bad and screw up everything. Driving itself doesn't give me anxiety, but im afraid the test will and make me fail. Im scared and just thinking about it makes my stomach hurt :/
I totally feel you! I'm totally fine driving with people I know, but am so nervous about the test and driving with someone I don't know kind of thing will get my anxiety going and make it harder for me 😬😩 But just gotta try to stay calm!

I like how you reply to evey comment even in older videos that are months and years old. But I was wondering if you know if California requires parrarel parking for the driving test. I have myn in a couple days and I have no idea how to parrarel park, am not good with the reversing presses.
Hi Pro gamer - thank you for the compliment my friend. We work hard to help people get a driver's license. You've got a bit of work to do.

@@smartdrivetest Thank you, this cleared up alot of this things. I just finished watching the video, there's no parrarel parking so I don't have to over think the test lol.

What was all the steps you had to do I take my test on the 4th
@@lilsmallz1561 Suprsingly not much I took my test in a town and all I did was drive around a bit and changed lanes it was really easy but it might be different for you.
@@SkyThePegasus I think test measures depend on the test centre, city and instructors a lot. Some instructors are really strict and want that one reason so that they can fail you. And some are so easy that even if u make a mistake, they are okay with it and pass you. IMO more than passing the test, it should be important to become a safe driver. U don’t want to keep hitting other vehicles after u get your license. Cos that will be more trouble than failing your road test n appearing the next time with improved driving skills.
It is easy but for most nerves get over them and people make stupid decisions that they might not have if someone want testing them
I failed twice because of my high anxiety. I finally passed missing nothing on the test because I was comfortable who I was with. If you failed and haven’t gotten your license yet, it’s okay. No rush take your time and if you fail you can always try again. Trust I was down in the dumps and I had a stressful year losing my dad, working, and taking care of my grandma. You guys got this!!!
I failed my road test today due to my anxiety hit a curb doing a right turn and that little thing cost me getting the license. got that as a lesson being anxious will get nobody no where and just relax cuz everything will be ok.
Yo Guys ima take my 2nd try this wendsday im excited not nervous or anxious no more finally to get this liscense.
I’m sorry to hear that😢
I’m so nervous because of my anxiety. I hope I can overcome it. I’ll have to for today. I feel super sick but I’m gonna try my best!

@@anoushkashenoy692 We know you passed 👍
For those nervous about the test just remember that at the end of the day it is up to the instructor to pass/ fail you for whatever they want. I hit the curb while backing up when I took mine and still passed. Confidence is key!
They failed me for this today
I made my right turn too tight causing my right tire to go over the curb, he still passed me 😂

I passed my test January, my hints:
- Look at your mirrors every 5 seconds
- It’s better to be slow than speed. You don’t have to go exactly your speed limit. Maybe 1-2 below.
- Take your TIME. Don’t let other driver honk at you, it’s your test. Do not feel the need to rush.
- practice!!
i failed because i was looking to much in the mirror's. My 2'nd try i passed. And i did the same thing XD
thanks bro
i failed because i was going 5 below the speed limit…
@@jonathancaballero8976
Yeah, that’s why I said 1-2 below. 5 is WAAYY too slow. Where I live, the maximum speed limit is 50. So I will usually do 48-49. Not 45

After failing my driving test twice, I finally got my license without having to retake the test. I noticed that many instructors seem to fail students on purpose, probably because it lines their pockets when we have to come back for another try. To get around this, I decided to contact a private licensed DMV attorney who assisted me in writing a letter to request a provisional license etc. Thanks to the help, my provisional license was delivered right to my mailbox box which isn't much different from an official license.
hi! can you explain a bit better what does a provisional license mean? is it the same as the learners permit, meaning that you can only drive with another licensed driver in the car or what?
So with the provisional license ond can skip the road test right ?
I got my permit at 16 and I'm now 18 and I'm so scared of driving I never went back. I probably need to tho cuz my permit expired and it's not like I can use it for the rest of my life but I also can't even park a car. So they'd probably fail me if I went since I haven't even been on a road with more than one lane and I need my license for my car insurance. Please can you recommend the test drive attorney who did yours?
What state did you get the provisional license?
@@LindaSimon-n1rMaryland
Doing my drivers test wasnt the most stressful day of my life, driving with my dad is the most stressful day of my life.
Lol yes. Dads will point out every little mistake while your driving. My dad sometimes micromanages my driving and not let me make decisions and then get mad at me for not making decisions anymore. I’m still grateful for his teaching and dedication though ❤
So freakin relatable.
Yes, I can see how driving with your Dad would be stressful. Especially if he’s on of those, “nobody drives my truck!” types. Glad you survived. All the very best, Cheers Rick
Dad used to yell at us as kids for making too much noise cause it distracts him from driving
Yet he sees nothing weird about the fact that yelling at the top of his lungs during, after and before I make a mistake can be a “ tad distracting”
It’s ironic cause when studying about the test and preparing to drive one of things mentioned as things that lead to crashes is distractable passengers, and how if they ain’t willin’ to stay vigilant and not distract and listen to the driver they’re as dangerous as beer or a phone and should be out and/or completely away from the driver at all times
Cut mfs like that out 😤
Bro, I have the SAME PROBLEM. Driving dolo, I’m genuinely excellent. Driving with my moms?! I’m a nervous wreck.
After 2 fails I finally got my license! It's pretty easy for the evaluator to fail you for simple mistakes so keep your head up if it happens. Failure doesn't necessarily mean you're a bad driver. Keep practicing and go at it again. You're bound to get someone who believes in you. But for me I took a step further by contacting a private license and professional dmv agent that helped me to write a provisional letter to bypass the test drive and i was given a provisional driver's license which will last for 12 months. I got a license now and it will serve for 1 year then I renew again.
My little advice.
* If you think are too nervous for the test drive then you can easily switch to a provisional driver's license which you won't need to test drive.
Which state did you get a provisional license? Cheers Rick
Congratulations to you and thanks for you splendid advice and at the same time motivation lol, never knew something like that was possible. Quick question isn’t the permit the same as a provisional license?
I'm gonna be 27 and still don't have my license because my family always keeps me inside the house. Luckily I applied for jobs to find my way out of this cage. They only taught me to drive i neighbourhoods and shame me for not getting a license like my younger cousin who's mom is less strict. I'm tired of it and am tired of my life being drained, I want to take action for my own life and am doing it slowly but believe soon I can at least get my license if I keep it up with studying and practicing but I don’t think I can cos I got a lotta work to do. Can you help?
@@smartdrivetestThank you and Maryland to be precise
no it isnt, a provisional license grant individuals more driving privileges and fewer restrictions than a permit allowing us to drive unsupervised but with certain conditions such as time restriction or limitation on the number of passengers.
Worst mistake I made when learning was trying to mimic what other drivers are doing, especially at intersections. So many people don't adhere to what they've presumably been taught in order to have their licence. Always best to just follow the instructor and not take other people's actions as an example.
You are oh so right my friend. What you observed is called social driving. It’s the way people drive after they get their license. And to pass a driver’s test, you CAN’T drive like that. Also, participating in the habits of social driving are going to increase your chances of being involved in a crash. All the best, Cheers Rick
It wasn’t the most stressful day of my life, but I was a little nervous. I felt confident once the test was in session though, specially after doing the maneuverability. I’m so glad videos like this exist. I passed first try.

It's a really simple idea but the idea of practicing near the testing center and driving those streets blew my mind and I haven't done it yet but I'm sure will be super helpful.
Happy to hear we could help out my friend. And after-hours or on the weekends, you can go into the DMV & practice your backing into a parking spot. All the best, Cheers Rick
I should have to be honest. I failed two times, passed with a 91 on my third.
Be careful now. don't do it in the same day you're taking your test. I had a friend who practiced on the same day and was told to go home and refused the test.
@@Maria-xd8yc why though? what was the basis? If you're just driving around public roads near the BMV your testing at what grounds do they have to deny you a test?
I really do not understand the testing sites I can handle busy roads more then a test course
I remember when I took my driver test about 6 years ago I failed the first time because I “ran a yellow light”. I was stopped at a red light behind a huge dump truck and couldn’t see the light (I was about 2 Cars back). The light turned green and we all went. Well the light turned yellow SO FAST when I was in the middle of making a left turn, and the lady was like “sir you just ran a red light”. I did not say anything but in my head I was thinking “did you want me to stop in the middle of the intersection??” Anyways this is all to say. Air on the side of caution during your test. Just be patient at lights. You may sit at a light through 2 cycles before you can go and that’s okay if it means you will pass the test.
Very very good point.!! Especially if you live a city where the road test route is near industrial zone.
Tim Hortons should give you free coffee for a month !!!
I got yelled at for not going when the light turned green, as she finished her last word a firetruck passed me on my left..she failed me for going 2 miles over the speed limit..as u can guess I wasnt over.
That's a bs move by the tester. Sometimes they just like to powertrip!
Err* not Air
thats the biggest issue of every driving test its how the law tells you how to drive but the not the safest or best way to drive becuase while yes caution is great an overabundance will almost 100% garentuee you will run into somebody who road rages
Thank you very much for the videos....I just passed my g2 driving test today....and it's all because of your efforts to help and mine as well for remembering everything.....to anyone who thinks it's hard to get your license....never give up....keep practicing and eventually you will also pass....cheers from Canada

You are right. I failed my test because the person made me feel tense right from the get go. Was an older fella, with a military attitude. Made me feel so uneasy. Do they teach instructors to rattle the people on their tests a bit... cause it felt that way. I get along well with everyone, I don't think it was fair how I was dealt with right out of the gate.
I agree with this 100%. My first time I failed because the instructor kept making small comments but my second time around I had such a kind guy who made me feel extremely relaxed and even allowed me to fix up my parallel parking to get it closer to the curb
@@cbrianie This made me feel a bit better. First time I failed I got a really rude guy, didn’t talk at all, didn’t say goodmorning back, just made me feel on edge the entire time. Made me mess up the parallel parking part and he just said your not getting a second chance.
I passed my driving test on the first try. I nervously breathed in and out and everything went great! Thank you so much for these videos. Time to relocate!!! (Dancing) it's going to be alright, if you just relax. Don't think so hard and follow their directions. God bless everyone!!

i took my test today and passed with a 100. i was very nervous but something very true is it really can depend on your instructor. I had an appointment at the end of the day and i talked a little with them and they just wanted to go home. they chose the shortest route and didn’t care to mark any points off.

I just passed my road test. I have been watching many of this videos and practicing. Is always nerves but just trust yourself and make sure you practice a lot. I pretended I was driving with my instructor and always making t sure you really turn your head to check blind spots. I hit the curve a bit when parking but it wasn't bad. Just make sure you do all those maneuvers when parking very slow so if you hit the curve is not bad. Also make sure you stay center in the lane even when there is no markings draw one in your head. Good luck everyone!!!

i have mine at poco too tomorrow morning, do you have any tips?
i just made sure to drive as if i was taking a test every time i practiced driving with my permit. my dad would rush me if i didn’t roll through stop signs (among other things) so i only drove with my mom. i had really bad anxiety about driving while i was learning so i got like 25 of my 50 hours just driving in parking lots and neighborhood streets so i could get comfortable and more confident just driving the car without having to worry too much about pedestrians, other drivers, traffic, etc. and every time i drove, i made sure to make full stops at stop signs, stay as close to the speed limit as possible, stop at yellow lights when i could, etc. so that when i was taking the test, i could just drive how i always did when practicing and didn’t have to change how i drove or worry about that at all. “practice as you perform” they say. and then even someone with as much anxiety around driving as me can pass the test first try
When you take the test do you need your permit with you because I had got mine stolen
Attempting my test tomorrow! Pray for me!
Edit: I PASSED WITH A 99%! Thanks everyone :)

- hazard lights or emergency flashers
- headlights
- passenger box

only can make 15 mistakes and 3 on the check up before u actually drive
- over exaggerate everything ex. when switching lanes exaggerate your head movement making sure no cars are coming on the lane you’re switching to
- stay calm and collective 🧘🏻♂️
- stay speed limit if you don’t know it it’s always 25 mph
- 20 mph in a school zone 🚸
- ACT like u care

Got my driver's license years ago at this point. Had to take my test twice and honestly a lot of it unfortunately comes down to the instructor you get. First guy answered a personal phone call during my test and gave me points for not pulling out right after he made me pull over to the side of the road to take his call. Gave me points for a whole bunch of other stupid things and I failed. All around a miserable asshole. Second guy was very polite and forgiving. Made some minor errors but he could see that I was clearly competent enough to drive on my own without posing a risk to the lives of others or myself. That was one of the happiest days of my life whereas my first time was one of the worst days of my life. It's an awful feeling knowing your freedom got denied either because of your own mistakes or a sadistic instructor. My advice to anyone who fails because of a bad instructor is to schedule your next road test at a different DMV. Chances are you're still in school so ask around and see where your friends had the most success.
Instructor didn’t have her seatbelt on the entire road test and afterwards asked if I wanted to know why I failed. 🤣
Thank you so much Rick! I passed the class 5 test in my first attempt and all credit goes to your videos and the hard work. With zero point deducted!

That fucking sucks
I passed my driving test yesterday despite making a few errors (you're going to make some no matter what). I'm a lot older and had to take it because my license was revoked and I never bothered renewing it because I had a lot of people around with access to a car and I work from home. I watched a lot of these videos and learned a lot, but I strongly urge you to find out as much as possible about your local situation and what you need to learn for the road test because a lot of this stuff had no application to my test. Make sure you signal whenever you're moving your car laterally? Nope. I actually started to do it and the guy was like no you don't need to do that. I did need to signal when backing out of a space. He also didn't seem to care much about my steering (which was smooth but a couple of times I only had one hand on the wheel). I got marked down for speeding a couple of miles over a 30 mph limit (Here I learned you would get an automatic fail if you went 5 over). He didn't even mark anything at all until I was about halfway done with the test. I also sat at a red light when instructed to turn right and he never marked it because you are allowed to sit at a red light, you're not blocking traffic doing it (at least here check to see what's up where you live). Sitting at a red light on a right turn is a good time to make adjustments to your car or radio or what have you. I did do shoulder checks but not two of them on a turn and it wasn't a problem. Overall the test was fast and super easy. That may not be the case where you live.
A lot of these videos are shot in Europe or Canada and a lot of what they're saying may not apply to you in the US. Here I knew they didn't test for parallel parking but they also didn't make me back into a space or do the driving backwards thing. Again my advice is to do whatever you can to find out about your local dmv and what they actually test on because while it's nice to learn extra things you should be focusing on the core stuff so you pass the test. You can learn some the other stuff later. Just focus on the test.
Very wonderful comment, I appreciate this. Greatly helped me out to not be lost in finding proper resources to learn. Thank you!
I passed my road test today first time! So thankful for your videos you have helped me tremendously. it was actually pretty easy I was expecting a state trooper with bulging muscles but it turn out being a sweet little old lady and I didn’t have to parallel park either😅

@@smartdrivetest Thanks, Rick.🤗🤗🤗 My first solo drive was from Downtown Vancouver to North Van. Not too far but still challenging.
Passed my drivers test first try. Just remained calm, focused and cautious. I think during my parallel parking I was about a foot and a half to 2 feet from the curb(becuz thr car I took my test in was smaller than a sedan) & when pulling out I almost forgot to put my signal on when exiting, got up to speed rather quickly than the instructor liked me to when getting up to 30mph, other than that I watched other cars carefully and made sure to get in the correct lanes when turning about a few feet to a mile away, stopped at a stop sign or light right at the line and if I needed to move up to see the oppisite traffic I did so after completely stopping and going once it was safe to do so. There was no reverse bay parking or any of that. Jusy remain calm, collected, & like he said in the video. Pick the best answer, not necessarily the right answer.

When I took my test he told me I was extra on everything which was a good thing. 🤷♂️ he was in a good mood as well so I got lucky😁
That’s the thing about these road test it depends if your examiner wants to be an a hole and the location some people have to drive for way longer
I just passed my driving test yesterday at the Santa Monica Dmv here in southern california. It was in the middle of rush hour and we literally went around the block once and ended up back in the parking lot. The instructor told me i passed and said that we didn't need to do the backing up portion of the test because there won't be any parking at this time lol. EDIT: it was also my first time and my nerves were shot to hell.

@Prod. Cheesy Flows Yeah, first check your car or if your using a friend’s car drive it for a couple of times so you are familiar with the locations of everything like the wipers, defrost etc. Be calm and pay attention this driving test is just like normal driving by yourself the only different is someone is there watching you so pay attention and stay calm. Practice lots of backing up and parking on the curb. Take you time don’t rush that is a must part of the test. You will do fine 👍

Having passed my test on the first try, it really did sound intimidating and ended up being one of the most gratifying experiences I’ve had.
I’ve been driving a little over a year now, and it actually baffles me how many daily encounters I have with people who have little to no regard for other motorists, or their own safety. How they managed to pass their test (regardless of attempts made) is astounding.
Drivers test tomorrow! Watching for some last minute tips 🙏

I'm so frustrated I failed my first test today!! I was so nervous my instructor was so unfriendly and despite that I did a really good job I was convinced I was gonna pass and when we got back to the dmv she said I did good very minor adjustments but that I was going 36 in a 30mph zone automatic fail all I was doing was going with the flow of traffic ...anyway I want to be accountable im really gonna pay attention to my speed next time I'm gonna take a couple weeks break though because I'm mentally exhausted
I take mine tomorrow i hope you pass the next test

The part about the yellow light strikes me as so odd. What it leads to, is drivers approaching the lights focusing so much on the lights themselves that they fail to see what's going on in front of them. What if a pedestrian decides to risk it and cross the street as you approach? Yellow means prepare to stop, not stop. Also, if you're coming in fast, you don't slam the breaks just because the lights go from green to yellow. That's a surefire way of getting rear-ended and having to pay for the damage.
For new drivers, some things have to be "black & white." There can't be a nuance. And too many driver's are under the FALSE impression that yellow lights mean they can proceed or speed up. That's just part of social driving and will NOT pass a driver's test. If you have a 10 lessons with a student, the yellow light thing only happens a couple of time. And after 1 or 2 times, the student gets it figured out. And because driver's must have awareness when driving, they've mapped the intersection and know how close someone is behind them before coming to a stop at an intersection. All the best, Cheers Rick

Great for you! Congratulations
I did today I failed for second time
I am nervous but today I felt like racism or something. I don’t know what happened
I was about to finish my test when I had to do a turn left. In stop and I just passed the line a little bit a little bit when I stoped and the instructor got crazy telling me go back go back! What are you doing!!!
And then I did that and ask her and now turn left right? And I wait the light get green and I turn left
After that she told change line and turn right, but I felt she told me the two orden so fast! And I did that fast obviously because for turn right was so near!
And then she told my husband she felt in dangerous with me!
She was a black woman.
I don’t know why she didn’t tell me just oh you passed go back not like crazy!
Anyway I felt so bad only I have one opportunity.
@@angieBalloonart Hi Angela! Thank you, I know in time you can pass ur test. Just make sure you are confident and relax enough. The examiner can tell if you are nervous. Do a lot of practice and watch more videos about driving test. When you feel ready , you can pass it. Hint: at the stop sign make sure you stop b4 the line and wait for 3 seconds before you go. God bless
Just wanted to say thank you your videos really helped me pass my road test first time (even though I definetly shouldn’t have passed) but appreciate what you do a lot.

how did it go?
Comment here from germany.
Love the fact that you show real life examples of: How not to do it.
We also fail the test when we switch lanes in the wrong order.
1. Switch on indicator
2. Look over shoulder
3. Make the switch to your lane
If your order is incorrect you fail.
An question of mine is how many persons are in the vehicle at an exam?
We have 3 (you, your driving teacher as co-driver and zur examer in zur backseat)
I did nearly perfect on my test, but at the very end of the test where he told me to go straight and pull in, I missed the very final stop sign because it was on the left instead of right side that I’m used to. This resulted in an automatic fail. I’m taking it again in 3 weeks so hopefully I don’t miss it again.

Good afternoon Mr. Rick August. My name is Paul Rivera a driving instructor here in New York city (Bronx) I saw the video you made with Big Mac Sam and I have to say that I am impressed at how well you adjusted to New York driving. BTW I am one of your followers and subscribers and I watch many of your videos and use them as reference in most of my classes. I have to tell you that Sam and I worked together at 10 and 2 driving school and I consider Sam to be one of the best in the field. Learning is a continuous process and after 55 years on the road I am still learning. I hold you And Sam in very high regards and I just want to say thank you for your contribution in the field of driving.

Im 22 years old and I'm gonna take my test in a week. I think im a pretty good driver but i have an anxiety disorder, and when I have bad anxiety i tend to shake really bad and screw up everything. Driving itself doesn't give me anxiety, but im afraid the test will and make me fail. Im scared and just thinking about it makes my stomach hurt :/
Good luck on your test, I hope you do well despite your anxiety!
@@soniacarrier5209 sorry I just saw this, thank you! I take it on Saturday so fingers crossed i pass!
same here:/
I totally feel you! I'm totally fine driving with people I know, but am so nervous about the test and driving with someone I don't know kind of thing will get my anxiety going and make it harder for me 😬😩 But just gotta try to stay calm!
I take it in an hour and a half and i feel like puking ughhh
you helped me alot and i passed because of your channel thank you

Hi Rick, I've had my N for a couple years now and had my class 5 test today... I passed with only 1 mistake (forgot 1 shoulder check)! Thank you for posting these videos. I went through them to brush up on my bad habits before the exam. You're awesome for helping new/experienced drivers! I wish you all the best.

@@smartdrivetest drove all the way home from the Registry to kick back and relax, thanks for the cheers.
Hi @mantalope - that is great my friend. All the best, Cheers Rick
I’m about to take my test in six hours. I’ll update my comment for my results.
Update: I passed my test and it was really easy. I made only one semi-major mistake which was stopping on the line at the stop sign instead of before the line. I did this once.
Hi Torik Jast - You're going to do awesome. Remember to breath; that will cause your body to relax. Good luck on your road test! Be sure to let us know how it goes. All the best, Cheers Rick
PS - see this post BEFORE you head to the test centre: www.smartdrivetest.com/pass-drivers-test/pre-trip-inspection
Well?
I like how you reply to evey comment even in older videos that are months and years old. But I was wondering if you know if California requires parrarel parking for the driving test. I have myn in a couple days and I have no idea how to parrarel park, am not good with the reversing presses.
Hi Pro gamer - thank you for the compliment my friend. We work hard to help people get a driver's license. You've got a bit of work to do. They don't make you parallel parking in CA, but you do have to back along a curb for approximately 50'ft. See this vid: ruclips.net/video/AL3k_KFaHfA/видео.html Drop us a note if we can help further my friend. All the best, Cheers Rick
@@smartdrivetest Thank you, this cleared up alot of this things. I just finished watching the video, there's no parrarel parking so I don't have to over think the test lol.
Happy to hear we could help out my friend. All the best, Cheers Rick
