I've had 6 hours of lessons with a professional instructor but watched countless videos from your channel, I've watched over 100 hours worth of videos around driving techniques and am positive this is what got me to pass. I can't thank you enough. I saved countless money on lessons I would've taken, money which I put towards a new car arriving next month. Good luck to everyone who has booked their test. You can do it!

I lost my license instantly in court and had to redo my theory and practical all over again. 4 years later after my ban cleared I passed my theory first time and passed my extended practical driving test with just 1 minor! I was being tested for 1 hour 20 mins and had to do 4 maneuvers. Highly recommend people to really learn from this channel! Thank you DGN ❤️

    Good to see an instructor doing his Job well, I'm a bus driver in this local area for the largest bus company in the midlands and some instructors are shocking I've had a few occasions where vehicles are parked on their side of the road and the instructor has allowed his/her learner to cut me up when I'm coming towards them on the bus when they don't have the right of way instead of using the dual controls and braking. Lewis done really well on this mock test considering he had only done 6 or 7 hours with his instructor. I've been driving 13 years 7 of those driving buses, I still like to watch your videos though and as I said its good to see an instructor who does his Job well and to high standards unlike some I have come across.

    I am guessing this is one of the many fortunate kids who had lessons with guardians/ siblings/ support in addition to professional lessons. I never had and will never have that. 27 in a week. Had well over 70 lessons and still not a license holder nor vehicle owner. Anyway, happy to see others succeeding because my time will come too!
    One of my many other questions is how on earth do people actually afford lessons and then the actual vehicle ?

    • @ajmorris8324
      @ajmorris8324 Год назад +5

      they dont. most people have their license and then buy a 5th hand car for around £1,500 which breaks down every 3 miles until they save up enough to buy a proper car 😂

      its not all about being fortunate and having money to afford 'professional' lessons. I only had 12 hours of driving before first time pass. It depends a lot on your own ability of how well you can learn a skill that requires multitasking aka controlling a vehicle while paying attention to signs and other traffic and assessing risks around you while also maintaining stress and anxiety levels to a minimum.
      On the other hand, parents who are decently off gift their kids a car as a congratulations for finishing high school with decent grades, getting into university and passing drivers license. It allows kids to live at home while having a means of transport to get to university and back. It can be generally cheaper than a child moving to a city and having to work while studying just to pay for the high rent and food. Makes it very hard to save up for anything. Now that's very fortunate to be able to live that way. I am not talking about rich people either. All it takes is to be middle class but simply have both parents and stability in the family. But like someone said, most people who pass cannot afford a car for a very long time or they just get something cheap and garbage that gets you from point A to point B.

      Sometimes it’s worth looking into learner’s insurance as well

    • @miaa7968
      @miaa7968 Год назад

      I had to get a loan to afford my car. Before I got my license and could legally have the documents in my name, I got my parents to purchase it on my behalf and I paid them the initial insurance premium + $500/month (AUD) for the car. It was switched to my name after I got my license. It is not fun needing to pay for rent, utilities and other stuff on my own while paying for the car but I've been making it work.
      AJ's comment is right though: my repayment is sizeable because I splurged on a good quality car so I felt safe while driving. I pay a lot for the car itself but I know it'll be quality and I won't be paying out the arse on repairs and new parts. People usually do just buy a cheaper/lower quality car upfront: one of my good mates has a Toyota Corolla he paid 1k for that's as old as us (we're 20).
      Also I want to add, don't beat yourself up over 70 hours and not being perfect: you realistically won't be. In Melbourne, we need a minimum of 120 practice hours logged in the logbook, including 20 night hours, all in different traffic and weather conditions before we even qualify to sit the drive test. Most people have WAY over 120 before even booking the test: my partner had 300+ before considering sitting his test.
      I got my license and still needed to perfect my driving because you don't become a perfect driver overnight. Even though I was told I'm legally fit for the roads, I still kept practicing and treating things like I was a learner. Driving is a skill you build over a long period of time, and 70 hours is nothing in the grand scheme of practice it takes to achieve it. You're tracking well.

    Nice test. I feel like the minor fault for taking the left turn at the traffic lights was a bit harsh, and also his general driving position doesn't seem too bad but he needs to be in better control of the vehicle when adjusting controls etc so he's not going onto opposite side of the road but he's not used to the car also. I actually received a minor in my first test because the driver thought I was too close to the kerb however I never hit it until the last turn into the narrow test centre road where I went over the kerb as I came in too quick with not enough braking and steering, and failed after 4 minor faults or something. passed second time with two or three, even including stalling.

    @lukeharrison8753 Год назад +3

    The weird thing about driving is that it actually isn’t hard! I passed my test with zero minors before Christmas and all I would say is try and drive ‘defensively’, ie when going past parked cars always give way if in doubt (clearly not if it’s safe to go) and also focus on hitting speed limits, and check EVERYWHERE. Blind spot checks are so easy to do, and easy to forget, but if the instructor can you see you literally breaking your neck to look out your blind spot then you won’t have any trouble. Good luck everyone

      Yeah, I thought it was a bit nit-picking at this one. Given the pot hole on the inside too, a slightly wider berth was not an issue and was dealt with brilliantly by Lewis with good use of speed management.

    wow this is madness
    in Brazil, at least at my driving test, i only needed to take off from a diagonal park, then we go to a reverse paralel parking, and every state has its own rules for this parking. after we take the car from the parking space, we go for the street, some examiners put you on longer paths and others on smallers, mine put me on the smaller, and jt was easy for me. Then we go back into the DETRAN, that is our departament of transit, and park again on a diagonal parking.
    My state is one of the easiest, but some needs hand signals, clutch stopping and crazy things like that😅

    i have had my drivers license for over a year now and i just like to come back to these videos once in a while. i have noticed that once doing a sort of hill start where the car just rolls back slowly, you use the handbrake, clutch and gas. I have learned to use the normal brake, keep the clutch at just about the biting point and use the gas when i want or can move off. Now i do live in th EU so regulations may be different, but why is this method of moving off being taught to learners? is it to move off faster or does it have a different reason? and which method has more clutch wear?
