    Sorry but I think you were in the wrong lane when you wanted the second exit at crittels corner roundabout 😢I still think you are great ❤

    • @DrivingSchoolTV
      @DrivingSchoolTV  Год назад +16

      The sign says left second exit but the examiners call it straight so you are correct and you should use the middle lane.

    I just passed Bromley 21st June 2023 with 2 x minors and here is my advice:
    = be prepared to do a manouvre before you leave the test centre - I was asked to bay reverse park straight away.
    = don't overlook early start slots - I started at 8:10am and the roads were not even busy.
    = don't rush out at junctions - slow down in 1st gear, check both ways AND THEN move off, you don't have to rush off thinking your gonna be marked down for hesitation. They want to see your navigating and checking both ways safely.
    = don't get caught up in too much conversation - this distracted me on the independnt driving and nearly missed my right-turn on two occassions, being overly nice won't help you pass, concentrate on driving safely!

    I passed at Sidcup a month ago, the examiners are really nice. I actually should’ve failed because I mounted the curb a little when he asked me to pull over in the first 2 minutes of the test
    (I had never mounted the curb in all my lessons so I don’t know where that came from!)
    But at the end of the test he said because the rest of the drive was perfect he passed me 😌

      Im glad you passed your test. regards your situation with the Kerb because you didn’t cause any any other Rd users any issues.
      And as you say it was only a little touch.
      It only counts as a driver fault.
      But had there been a pedestrian there it would of gone to a serious fault..

    I wanted to thank you for all your incredibly helpful videos. I started learning to drive at 20 and was just too nervous, so gave up. I started learning again this year (I'm now 39) and I have just passed with 0 faults at Hither Green. Anytime I wasn't sure about anything I used your videos to help me. They were invaluable, thank you!

    Last year I made the mistake of booking a test at Sidcup cause it was the only area with slots and on top of that I hired a car I used first time the day of my test. All because I wanted to pass quickly. DONT make the same mistake I did ! I ended up failing which in hindsight was inevitable. Moral of the story is don’t rush into your test. Luckily I passed in Hither Green which I’m very familiar with. Good luck to those who have tests coming up!

    The Bromley/Sidcup areas are amazing cause every road is pretty much 30. Did my test in Hither Green and It’s really annoying that the roads are 20. Even the massive road that goes from Lewisham fire station to Catford is 20 which is very annoying as it’s such a massive road.

    • @DrivingSchoolTV

    Most of my lessons have been in Belvedere but my instructor suggested we do Sidcup for test as the examiners are more forgiving?

    I am teaching someone so want to confirm something because I classes various things you did as major mistakes. Please advise
    1. Roundabout at the end 22:30 you failed in my opinion as you should have been in the middle lane.
    2. Waiving thank you to others
    3. Lane discipline was off most of the video. In particular your tyre was unnecessarily crossing the cycle lane
    4. Hands not on wheel most of the time
    5. On left turns you are crossing over to incoming lane unnecessarily

      @BWReid10 Год назад +6

      Left only lane applies to any exit on the left hand side of the roundabout, not just first exit. Looking at the sign before the roundabout his exit was before 12 o'clock so left lane was the correct choice there. Definitely can be confusing though!

    • @Guvness89
      @Guvness89 Год назад +1
