Driving Instructor Takes Driving Test | "I WASN'T EXPECTING THAT"

- I take a driving test with a fellow driving instructor. It was in a new area and was slightly challenging, putting myself in the position of a learner driver. There are a few driving faults during the driving test.
I do some commentary whilst driving which will help learner drivers understand what I am doing.

We still love you! ♥️ Hope all is okay and that you were just busy rather than sick or some such.
Oh.. Wow. You are fantastic
Are you available for a mock test
I think speed limites on a steep gradient should be increased by 10 mph because a steep hill near me used to be a forty zone but changed to a 30 zone so cars tend to struglle up that hill and slows down the flow of traffic and used to work better as a 40 mph road i think some speed limites need updating because there are many roads in nottingham that are huge but are 20 mph zones but then the smaller roads around it are 30mph witch makes no sence and there are 30 mph roads that are not in built up areas with only heges on the sides and i think motorways and dual carrage ways should be 100mph because cars nowadays can easily travel safley at 100mph + and has worked in germanys autobahns with no speed limites and has less accident than the uks motorways and carrage ways
@F1 Racer You're funny.
if i got this guy on my driving test i would have just told him to fail me then and there to avoid PTSD for life.
Skandal the examiner I got fails 9/10 on average. He was so reluctant to give me the certificate, he kept sighing with disappointment that I passed lmao.
🤭🤣
@@David-ur7og Seriously?! 😒
@call of duty ruined my life 987 Phew! Congratulations.
@@aleebea Yeah but I think he liked the fact that I kept calling him "sir" lol. He also made me parallel park in a road that was connected to a dual carriage way, and gave me a fault for stopping when the cars were behind me. It was so busy that I had to wait for a few minutes for all the cars to pass, and in the end he just told me to ignore any cars behind me because this road is very busy. My instructor was with me and spoke out saying, this spot is highly unusual and he admitted it was not a normal place for parallel parking. He also took me out of the area/route - but justified this by saying it was during school time and parents are dangerous drivers and didn't want me to feel pressured.
😂😂 You've managed to find the most brutally honest, petty driving instructor on the face of this earth.
You should have seen mine brother
Leon Dunphy wtf is your profile picture
@@theplug4981 just me holding a couple African kids..... 'E'
@@Frostytip5 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Well that's his job
That examiner loves that power. He lives for minor faults!
He's just playing with Pin, come on!
As a non native speaker, it's sometimes challenging to understand British people, but that driving instructor was next level...
I'm a native speaker and it was hard for me too lol
Is it Brummie?
@@minnie5301 Black Country. It’s different
Im a brummie and black country is a different language 😂
Nothing difficult or challenging just different dialects of same language, as in most countries?.
OHHHH HOW HAVE THE TABLES TURNED
💯😂😂😂
😭😂😂😂
Looool
Iulia Paun oh how the turn tables
Oh tables have the turn
Pin wouldn't of gotten any faults if he'd used the Ultimate Driving Course
😂😂
Casey White 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Casey White 👍
Casey White 😂😂
He’s very strict right? Feel like I’d get a fail for the air freshener not being the right scent for him lol 😆
LOL!
Damn no kidding that dude was super strict a bit much imo bc the driver was very careful and 5 over the speed limit is nothing in Texas people drive 20 over the speed limit on the highway all the time… ya get the point
It's a good thing imo,the way our roads are so overcrowded.Maybe the roads would be much safer if more were like him?
😂😂😂
Standards and expectations for a DVSA-approved professional instructor have to be higher than for a usual learner, so I am sure he intentionally gave a tougher examination than he normally would.
the final boss of driving examiners, serious fault for looking at him in a funny way
If driving tests were a video game, he’d be the final boss 😂
When I took my hgv class 1 test in 1999 the examiner was writing down stuff on a number of occasions so I thought I failed but at the the end when he said I passed with 1 minor I was shocked and asked him what he was writing he replied my shopping list for tonight lol no joke
😂😂😂😂
Hahaha 🤣🤣🤣 love this!
This really cheered me up 😂😂😂
Hahahahaha
🤣🤣
Basically, there are no faultless drivers.
Cyriacus Duru i got 0 minors on my test, think I just got lucky with the examiner
@@oskt4397
Wow! Congratulations
@@oskt4397 I got 2, one of which was a grindy gear change because I'm an idiot, the second was because some cunt in a van cut me up and apparently I should've been more aware, even though I'd slowed down and took a slightly wider line for him to get through...
We're all human.
@@Pond721 Apparently you're supposed to magically correct other people's faults in driving tests according to some examiners and whatever solution you have it's always wrong according to some
Basically passing your test comes down to not just your ability but luck, circumstances and the instructors mood and opinions on the day. Even if you fail, you probably did enough to pass had someone else been assessing you.
Thats why they should have cameras in the cars so it can be disputed if necessary.
@@RyanPhallen There's not camers in the uk when taking your exam? Im my country there are 2 cameras one facing you the other one the road in front of you.
@@RyanPhallen This would also be a good idea for assaults and allegations of sexual misconduct. I had an instructor tell me that many assessors had left our local testing centre due to a young woman who claimed the assessor touched her inappropriately after he failed her. The school suspended the assessor without any evidence other than her word against his.
Where I live, you can only attempt license practical exam, if you pass driving school's practical exam. Same rules, two passes. Means, that they only check to confirm that you aren't dumbass. Also both passes are filmed with dash cams.
Yea it all down to luck and the assessor i think i failed my first one years ago down to just unlucky was pulling out on side street all clear as and was on the road a car come speeding round the corner and was behind us the 100 year old assessor thought i pulled out in front of him witch i did not but what they think/stay sticks if had cameras would of proved i was not in the wrong but will never happen in the UK. I think it down to luck of the day and fail rates as they have targets to do if so many people pass in that day good luck not failing as like any other buissns it is a racket that needs to make money.
I was lucky on my second go thought i was bad due to the driving instructor had someone in the back of the car assessing him so had 2 people in the car watching me but forgot he was even in the back over time. The driving instructor was middle aged and we talked a bit while driving that helped me not over think everything and he was down to earth not like the 100 year old i had first time that not even say a word the whole time instead of what we doing next he was just awkward and off putting the whole time.
A bold move. Not everybody will do something that could potential hurt their own RUclips channel and subscribers so I applaud Pin for doing this.
feels bad for whoever gets that bloke as their examiner LOL
Init 😬
lool for real, the way he went on about the abs thing for long. i literally got asked that yesterday when i passed my test and they do not ask it like that hahaha
100%
Yeah good luck to anyone who gets this nazi examining them.
Hes old and wise and will fail u with minor things
*Just a few more lessons Pin and you should be ready for the driving test* 😂😂😂
6 minors is a pass.
WIM AllKind r/wooooosh
Needs his own Ultimate Driving Course haha
@TIGERWOODSBOYFRIEND He’s commentating so we can understand his thought process. This video is to help people learning to drive, he’s not doing an advanced test (to my knowledge?)
😅🤣😂
Driving examiners testing each other should be a tv series. So entertaining the little arguments at the end haha.
The driving instructor: How do you know that the ABS Anti-lock breaking system is working correctly? When does the warning light come on? What about if it came on when you were driving? What would you do? And what would you pay the mechanic to repair it? And what is the mechanic's name? What about the car he drives? Does his ABS work properly? Where does he live?
What planet is he from?
And is he married or single?
What's his blood group?😂
Does he check his front mirror when driving towards Dudley? Very important stuff!
What colour pants am I wearing today? What will the weather be like in Manchester on Wednesday 8th October 2025? What is the capital of British Columbia? 😂😂
How impressive that a driving instructor would gladly put himself through this on video for the sake of his students and viewers. Top guy. And what a superb method of showing the standard required. Superb.
L lol
He is just awesome! 👏🏻
Yeah it kinda proves he's not that good of an instructor for me. The stuff he messed up on my driving instructor wouldn't have messed up on. My old driving instructor taught me to have a good look on your blindspot, ie turn your body and head more than 90 degrees, that old man demonstrated it well and pin saying he can't turn any further is just an excuse, you use your whole body. Also the speeding one was such a newbie mistake to fault on
@@ninjaninja9954 ur not wrong. not saying he’s a BAD driver, he’s definitely not
@@ninjaninja9954You might not have noticed, but he passed. They were only minor faults.
The examiners dudley accent is sooooooooo strong 😂😂😂
painful for me to hear
I cor tell
I couldn’t understand him
Black Country accent
bet he's going to the Harrison's head after this
Thanks for sharing mate. I just passed my PART 2 and I'm with AA and Bsm. Travelled from London to Leicester for my test. Brutally hard and luckily passed with 6 faults
Your videos are inspiring and as a Trainee Instructor myself I'm taking notes for my PART 3 .... keep up the good work and awesome vids!
Amazing how you manage to drive while describing everything, I'd probably crash in the first 10 meters if I did that. Congratulations on your channel and keep the great work!
I’d like that instructor to be tested by a higher instructor
By God?
Checkmate, he owns the dvla
Guilherme Ferreira no by a real examiner 😂
Why not lower
@@gui18bif 😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣
I feel like there are two types of examiners. This guy "you didn't crane your neck an extra 5 degrees so I'm going to give you a minor for it" and the type that can see you're a competent driver and let you get on with it.
Interesting.....I haven't done a test yet so I'm curious to see this concept tho I think I do agree from watching a few of these test videos. 🤷🏽♂️
So true,a good examiner just feels if you know what you are doing and doesn't fail you for every single minor shit..it's driving not fucking nascar racing
@@SkyZi9 passed yet??
@@Jon-1919 nope, haven't done test yet....what about you? Got any tips?
@@SkyZi9 Well good luck when you come to it pal. Just relax and don't be sucked in by other people's bad driving around you. If someone is fighting you on the road just let them "win". Let them overtake, or take the space they want. They won't actually be gaining anything I promise you. If you're serious then I really recommend you do some reading. There's a brilliant police driving/riding handbook that you can buy online that cops use for training. It teaches you about the workings of the car, vanishing points, techniques etc. I read the police motorcyclist handbook when I passed my motorcycle test 10 years ago and I genuinely credit that with keeping me alive!
Oh and don't get a car with diamond cut alloys for your first car (like I did). You'll curb them and they cost a bomb to repair. Standard alloys aren't so bad! 😂👍
Thanks for your great vids Pin. I passed my driving test on my first try last week with a few minors and watching your pupil's mock driving tests and instructional vids really helped no end. Thanks again!
Thank you for sharing this! Such a genuine driving instructor!
Him being a bit nervous during the test made me feel a bit more relaxed for my test it goes to show we are all human and even for a fully qualified professional instructor like pin we all get the nerves
bro what, a driving instructor being nervous on his test just made me realise that im probably gonna be a nervous wreck 😩
I thought he was roleplaying as a nervous driver
Kuso same here 😩 my test is in 8 days
Carla Finley did you pass?
He almost failed lol what chance have we got??m
Didn't know Claude Littner was a driving test examiner when the apprentice wasn't filming 😂
I was gonna comment this i acc thought it was him in the thumbnail.
Haha, brilliant!
And puts on a heavy brummie accent
Haha XD
🤣
explaining everything your doing is such a good thing to do on the test. Best to make sure the examiner knows you've done what you should be, sometimes they might not be sure etc.
26:53 the way that he pretends that is looking at the mirror, but actually is looking athe oldest driving instructor's notebook HAHHAHA
He must've had failed his previous test and didn't upload it, so this time he wanted to make sure there are less faults 😂
Even instructor also worried about the feedback. he was looking very curious about that .🤣🤣🤣🤣
You're so authentic man, most instructors would probs be too proud to share a video of themselves taking a test and making a few mistakes but you're just so genuine about it, made me feel less bad about making mistakes while I'm practising cus even the professionals do it! Thanks Pin!
The professionals are even making quite serious mistakes like hitting the curve with the wheel really hard when parking or selecting a different gear instead of neutral when wanting to completely stop the car which makes the car launch forward.
@@yuvalvernik9483 Hahahaha low-key throwing shade on the professionals 😂😂
I was just thinking the same thing, good on him 😊
Moo
Drivers make mistakes too....thats why there are so many accidents.
I take my hat off to him. Brilliant instructor.
Alan was my instructor! So weird seeing him a video like this lol but he's hilarious and a great instructor. I had lessons with him and they got me to pass my test
IMPOSSIBLE
Was he as harsh on you as he was with Pin?
You must be the best driver on the road, I had Steve Roberts as mine and I did the majority of this driving test route for my driving test in December 2018 but from Gornal Test Centre. Got 4 driving faults in total but passed first time
@Advanced Driving 😂😂😂
Was it a pass? Lol
Love this guy’s temperament, hes just amazing, he was driving on a road he never driven before (one of the hardest route also) and stil passed, just for us guys he put his credibility on stake, hes just amazing love him
Over covid I found it extremely difficult to get hold of an instructor, and as a key worker I became more and more desperate for easier travel to work. I just want to say a massive thank you for your videos, I’ve been watching them a lot and driving with my dad and it’s been a tremendous help! I passed first time on Tuesday!! Thank you so much 💗 Ps. I think it’s so brave to do a video like this one and shows great support to your followers great job!
You looked nervous at the beginning. Should have got him to say by order of the peaky blinders😂
ToM E BoY 😂😂😂
Peaky fookin blinders!😂🤣
Fook LinDa
Peaky blinders are brummy not black country 👍
😂😂.. Funny how this crossed my mind as well
This guy would fail you for indicating 0.04 seconds early.
You are AMAZING!!!
I love it the idea and very good learning for the new drivers.
Well done and I appreciate you 🙏
Been looking for something like this video for my other half learning. As a professional driver myself I do tend to expect more from others but I have to remind myself that most are not trained to the level I am.
Although it could be seen as a little harsh, I believe that those 'little' things, is really sound advise for any new and veteran drivers.
Thank you guys! 👌
Pin: "Winding the window down. You're showing your age there."
Examiner: And that's a serious fault!
hahaha
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀
26:55 eyes on the road pin , eyes on the road
Great commentary driving, Pin!!! I'll bear it in mind whilst preparing for my Part 2. It really is different when sitting on the driving seat, isn't it? Let me say that you've been so brave and humble too for having decided to share your test and its results as well with us all here. I did enjoy watching you from a different perspective from what I'm used to when you're teaching your pupils and you do a fantastic job. Thank you so much for all of your help with your videos :)
How did your part 2 go have you managed to pass part 3?
Brillant video - thanks Pin. I sat (and failed) my test twice, 10 years ago. I am trying again in December. Having had two different examiners before, and compared their styles, some faults I got in the past felt really arbitrary, like your faults for not turning your head enough or your mirror "effectively". I worry now about this. I've been trying to find the answers online for the most ridiculous worries - how long is a piece of string type questions. Seeing an instructor in the same situation as that relieves the anxiety a bit.
26:52 the way you was sharking the examiners paper to see what he was writing 😂
Checking his left mirror I think
Ahahahah
@@Jordan-wy1ux Then why did he look away everytime the examiner looked up?
Hahaha it's so obvious he tries to hide it as well.
My parents told me never to do that otherwise I’d fail 😂
This is the kind of guy I’m going to get on my test😭🤣
After he's had a row with the misses the night before so he's in a rotten mood.
That is who I imagine everytime I think about my driving test. He even has the accent.
I had a lady that makes this guy look like a kitten. Seriously it is a stressful enough situation as is without the examiner making it feel 10x more intense
This was my examiner 😂😂😂 not actually but he was like this dude
@James Stewart Taking my driving test tomorrow, and man I'm gonna try thinking like that, that I'm having fun driving, idk if thats bad but hey it will ease off my nerves.. thanks
This was really good watching you explain everything and then nice to see that we all make mistakes, it's just keeping on top of them
This was such a useful video, I'm doing my test in 2 weeks in this area so it was good to see where I could go
We all pick up bad habits once we have passed our tests
This guy's picked up the bad habit of letting pesky passengers into the car !
My bas habbit is that i never drove since i passed my test, i "hate" cars, I didn't want to get my driver license. ironically I made passed both test in my first try.
@@Crank4life1 same. I force myself to drive atleast once every three days so that I get used to it in the long run. Almost hit a deer yesterday but luckily it was in a school area so I was going really slow.
@@ezzor197 keep going, I'm looking to grab myself a tesla for the long run😴😴
@@Crank4life1 same!
You should get a camera for the back so we can see when the learner driver has an impact on the traffic behind
What a great driving instructor for posting this video, The old boy was very fair with his assessment, Thanks for posting the video.
total respect for showing the real feedback!

Same haha and im from Australia so some of the rules dont make sence to ne lol
You’re a legend Pin. Great content as always
I like how you speak your intentions out loud - I teach piano this way! I’m learning my practical driving atm - I might try this technique…. Although I’m guessing you’re talking out loud to help your viewers like me 😊✨ - love your content!
The legend has it... no driver has ever cleared driving test from this instructor! Everyone returned dead inside! He killed em all! This chap has single handedly destroyed thousands of driving dreams and young learner drivers! 😂😂😂
I believe he is direct descendant of Hitchcock!
This proves that exams are ridiculously thorough, and that once you pass you forget some of the rules since they're ridiculous. Having taken the test in another country, I find it weird how less of an emphasis you guys put on situational awareness, and instead waste time on checking the blind spots until you get dizzy.
Also they do somethings different than in other countries. Like in Switzerland we park cars in 1st gear and it looks like they park in neutral...
@@SAA-hr9gr some people do some people don’t, been many a time I get in someone else’s car or my own and forget I left it in 1st gear and try to start the car
@@KILLGAMERSCOOT4LIFE You are supposed to leave it in gear 1 when leaving your car unattended, if the handbreak snaps and its not in gear it will roll away and hit something. The car being in gear prevents that
@elmucho Doesn't the car being in neutral prevent stalling? Not sure wondering because that's what my instructor has me do
@@suqmaddiqq You wont stall the car if you have the clutch in, lets say you turn the engine on with it in gear but you put the clutch down then it wont stall
Awesome that Pin would display this so other OVERTLY EXPERIENCED drivers who are taking the test for a new licence or going through an audit can learn. Now I know I should discard my many years of driving, personally and commercially, and double up to ace this test!
❤you Pin!🎉
Respect for taking the test a lot of instructors I would imagine are afraid to make mistakes
You need more recognition! Honestly you explain everything for everyone to understand and your amazing instructor !! Keep it up ! 👍🏼
paigelou xo Thank you
F1 Racer there’s no sarcasm thank u very much 😂 I’m being honest he has helped me understand driving more than my 3 instructors I have so YEAH THANKS PIN YOUR AMAZING INSTRUCTOR😊😊😊
Yeah may be good at explaining but double standards highlighted lol FACTS. I like this instructor said it how it was to him. I don't think he thought he would be marked so rough due to his experience and status. Never over estimate your skills, be modest. Lesson learnt. Facts lol
It's funny because when we drive normal we are so chilled and relaxed. But as soon as your put under test conditions and your driving is under scrutiny you make all sorts of mistakes and feel like a beginner. Think this can happen to all of us.
My worst driving performance ever was during my driving test
you try and do the ADI part 2 driving test lol..ive driven over 1 million miles in 35 years plus i did 80 hours intense training.and still hit the kerb in my ADI test ,i passed JUST..but never been so nervous..))

Sweat
I failed on my first theory test, I got 42/50 and 55/75. I felt way more confident on my first test than my second test, yet somehow passed second time round with 50/50 and 66/75. It made me feel so confident for a few lessons, but I feel like my driving instructor just took the confidence back out of me.
Atleast you passed again 😂

I love how you explain the manoeuvres while driving, very helpful. I can't wait to finally take my driving test. Thank you for that 😁
This shows that even the professionals get nervous and make mistakes too. Thank you for sharing this with us
These videos are so helpful thank you. More where you narrate what you're doing like this would be great.
You got your feelings HURT 😂 I don’t think I have laughed so much!
I appreciate it you did your own driving test . Good job
Your video was very bravely ,kindly, very helpful for us and I admire you.
Really enjoyed the vlog. Still picking new bits and pieces up, even after all these years. Passed 26 years ago. I ended up with the head driving instructor. Good job I didn't know until after the test. Keep making the great vlogs.
Hi Pin!! Just want to say thank you SO much for all of your helpful videos you upload. I am in New Zealand and haven't had driving lessons in one whole year but just passed my test with no errors, all thanks to what I believe is your help, albeit indirect! Keep it up, your work is much appreciated :D
yolo That’s great to hear. Congratulations and thanks for watching.
Great video pin, liked the running commentary.
Such great content, I’ve started talking through my driving, explaining why I do certain manoeuvres and it has helped so much
Hes hating on you for that joke you made about his age 😂
I love your videos so much. Even though I have already passed my test and have been driving for a long time, I still find your videos helpful and enjoyable. I am watching your older videos as well, and I love them too. I find it funny to see no _Ultimate Driving Course_ pop ups in the older videos, lol.
Thank you, Pin.
Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn.
I've been looking for the times in the video where the faults are and thought I'd share them for anyone interested
Fault discussed at 40:55 is at 11:00
41:46 -> 17:15
42:56 -> 28:48
43:52 -> 30:40 presumably
44:41 -> 36:46
Cheers!
I only (slightly) agree with the first one
@@milovd Same here I suppose I would've eased off the gas and been prepared to brake but I wouldn't slow down much because that might make the lorry driver more likely to pull out, or it might annoy them because they're waiting for me to get past. It's like Pin said in his most recent mock test video, you need to show that you understand when you have priority and that you're not overly cautious otherwise you'd get faults for hesitation or appropriate speed probably
Damn Harry. You are a wizard :)
@@doctorpanigrahi9975 I'm a what?!
Haha, yeah I got pretty lucky finding some of those times, especially when I spotted the Himley Road sign at 28:48 :)
Appreciate you sharing this, a lot of people wouldn't want to question their own profession which if anything is a hindrance to their own potential, speaks volumes, great video bro.
i saw a serious fault.... you were following signs to Kidderminster haha
Absolutely brilliant loved this video and all your videos are so helpful, i failed four test in a manual about 12 years ago im back giving it another go in an automatic please all wish me luck xx
good luck! Manual can be really hard to wrap your head around (hence why the majority of world drives automatics) Europe has just held onto manual for some reason haha xx
He's really putting himself in everybody's shoes here☺️ I mean it's been a while since you've did this darl it's nice to see😊💫🎀
I passed my test on Tuesday and it was in part thanks to these videos thanks they're awesome for learners!
I have SO much respect for you for sharing this! I’ve had my license for almost 5 years and I love watching your videos. My little sister will be 17 in October so I have told her about you and the Ultimate Driving Course and she has since been watching your videos ❤️
Thank you, this helps with nerves about what will happen in the test which is a big thing for me.
That was brave! I have been driving for a few years, but it is good to keep checking that bad habits aren't creeping in.
This is incredible! Alan used to teach me before I passed my test, such a lovely fella!
This video has been incredibly helpful and has helped set a really good standard of driving as your commentary was very useful. Brilliant video!
Your videos are coming in helpful whilst I'm waiting to buy my first car. 👍
All respect mate.
Great job.
There was no centre mirror check, there was DEFINITELY DEFINITELY DEFINITELY NOHR CENTRE MIRROR CHECK
This brought a smile on my face to see the ultimate instructor face off lol
This was helpful but also really entertaining haha good sport 👏
The accent can be challenging for me but, I liked this demo. I drove 40 years & professionally. Teaching a student is another deal altogether. This is great! Watching other vids too.
I passed my Driving test 8 months ago and watching this still gives me anxiety. Thank god my dad was a driving instructor before and he knows defensive driving and still remembers what to do. Passed on my first go with no mistakes. Shame I didn’t discover this before I did the test. Still entertaining and educational.
Lucky u
I’ve had my first car for a month now, passed my test on my second go. Really thought I’d failed it as well and had a couple of curveballs on the test but I dealt with it all okay thankfully. My best advice for the test is that if you make a mistake, try not to dwell on it. I didn’t check my right shoulder blind spot after I was asked to pull over the first time and I thought I’d failed there and then. This was after I’d done my manoeuvre really well, dealt with an awkward situation from a lorry immediately after leaving the test centre and just generally having had a decent drive. I was so angry after that and I could have failed due to complacency while I was dwelling on my mistake. But instead I thought I’d just make sure I checked my blind spot every time after that, have a good, safe drive and the instructor might be lenient. Turns out she either completely let me off or didn’t notice at all, as I didn’t even get a minor for it! Apparently not checking your blind spot isn’t an immediate fail anyway, according to my instructor, so getting angry about it was pretty stupid. Also, due to nerves, I actually managed to stall on my test when pulling out of a junction, but I kept calm and dealt with it rapidly and didn’t interfere with anyone’s drive. So imo the answer is if you make a mistake, keep calm and carry on - correct it and act like it never happened.
Roman Lakes very useful comment thanks
I’m pretty sure I got given a serious fault for stalling the car on my first test. Even though I was in a quiet place, posed a danger to absolutely no one, and I corrected it quickly
Very helpful comment😁
I drive in the USA but my first driving test (and my last, since I passed the first try) had 4 red light runners, about 10 people didn't use their signal to turn or change lanes, and one guy nearly plowed into me when they didn't care to look when coming out of a residential road. I dealt with all of them expertly and with finesse. I had only been driving for about 2 months at that point and my instructor said I'm a gifted driver.
@@ThallanarRabidtooth congratulations, well done - sounds like you did really well on your test! One thing I would say is that with all due respect, the standard of our driving test is much harder than any US driving test I’ve witnessed (and I have close family who live in the US). My driving instructor had been giving lessons to a lad who’d passed his test in California and then moved to England - that test involved driving around some cones at a test centre (wtf?).
There are many, many ways you can fail our test here, the standard is very high and it’s one of the hardest tests in the world. This is likely why we have so few road deaths per capita compared to countries like the US. It probably explains why you’re running into so many dangerous drivers too! On top of that, the vast, vast majority of us drive manual, so we have to learn in manual over here. Overall, I do believe the level to be much higher.
After almost two years of driving with a licence (and many months of lessons), I don’t claim to be an amazing driver, but after two months you will definitely be really inexperienced. Have confidence in your ability but most of that ability shouldn’t be dealing with things as they happen, it’s having the foresight to plan ahead and avoid them if possible. That’s the most important thing with driving, planning ahead so you don’t panic and aren’t surprised by things.
And despite our high standards, we still have a ridiculous number of pricks on the road who do dangerous things. Don’t get too confident in your ability, you’ve driven for two months and you’re going to keep learning for years. All that said, well done and take care!
just watching u i feel confident that i will pass and make sure i remember everything u done for my exam fingers crossed 🤞
Examiner was well harsh on you! Love your videos, keep up the good, honest and genuine work! :D
Wow, Pin got six minors? I passed my test with three... simple maths means I'm twice as good as Pin 😁😂😉
I had 1 minor back in 2017 when I pass
Amateurs, I got none. Welcome to America where everyone and their cats and dogs gets handed freaking license.
-- cuz you guys all use automatics, easiest car to function
RoyaltySarah it isn’t even a matter of automatic vs manual. Manual isn’t even hard unless you’re driving an 18 wheeler or a straight up race car. Our driver’s tests are so easy and that anyone could pass them in their sleep. We just have bad drivers through and through. The tests here are more of a formality or than an actual test. On top of all this, we got everyone driving an oversized crossover and thinking they own the road.
@@kiwionpizza1336 I know when I went to NewYork in 2016 when I was about 17 years old, the first thing I noticed on the freeways was the speed drivers would go at. It felt as though we were on a racing track with other vehicles, the majority of cars were huge and went at speeds that are practically illegal in most roads here in UK or Ireland.
The rates of car crashes is more common in the US though, and I can see why, they give driving license to pretty much anybody.
But in the UK the road rules are so tight, speed cameras are common, ticket people fining people every minute everyday, checkpoints everywhere. Its harder getting youre license here but it is in efforts to help saves lives in a way.
Hence the common use of buses and trains, uber etc
Talking about what you’re gonna do before you do it is a great idea! It makes you perform the action appropriately whilst showing the examiner you know your stuff... might need to get into a habit of this for my test in a few weeks to make sure I pass (third time lucky lol)
Update, pass!!
Congratulations
Are you allowed to talk like that in the actual test
I did that
Yes, facts. I did this and explained every decision I made - and the instructor really appreciated it.
Well done really enjoyed the video. Learned alot .
This is great, it helps so much with preparation
