You will NEVER be fully ready because there are so many things out of your control, sometimes you just have to go for it, especially ehen the waiting list is hopelessly long.
Exactly. Trying to delay the inevitability of unpredictable drivers by months is a waste of time. I just tell myself to hoist up my socks and go get it.
@@s3th1e Just search the internet, you will see delivery driver, driving instructor, and people who drive for more than 10 years without accident failing a mock test. It's literally 80% luck 20% skill, a terrible system.
Ikr, my instructor told me to book a test regardless of how ready i felt because it was 3 months away 😂 Luckily I felt ready by the time it came around, but there's pressure to just go through with it either way because you know itll be another 3 months wait to rebook. 😫
I passed my test first time today with 0 faults!!! I've been ready for my test since the start of may, and my instructor said I should try and book in for then because I was ready... BUT I decided not to and to delay it to today, and it worked out so well because I was extremely prepared and barely nervous! It ended up being a walk in the park because I knew I was 100% safe and ready
@hazzy2285 2 weeks is plenty of time to memorise the answers but worst case scenario, you only get one minor.. and that's not the end of the world! You got this 👍
My original test was booked for 30th June but I knew I wasn’t ready, and my instructor agreed. I have been lucky enough to supplement my lessons with my own car and now we all feel confident for my test in September 👍
Nothing against what you said The only issue is we can’t hold back the driving test because we would have to wait six months i think because backlog 😮 Along with what you said, learning to drive can add up a lot with cost of money You made a good point with getting a second opinion Driving in a new car can be different to get use to Let’s hope i pass in July. Good suggestion of watching videos online
I know what you mean.learning to drive is expensive! But it’s more expensive to fail and have to buy a new test and take loads more lessons! Good luck with your test in July!
Thank you another great video. I honestly lacked confidence in myself during lessons and still do to some point now I’ve passed. Until a few weeks before my test I don’t think me or instructor were sure but then we had more lessons and also added in 4 x 2hr lessons week before my test, plus mock tests and instructor said I could pass and I did. Now I’ve passed it’s hard but I’m getting there and friends sitting with me and her husband was an instructor so is taking me out for confidence lessons from next week to help me get use to my car and to work on the area I’ve realised I need some extra help with (building speed, parallel and reverse bay parking) I had lessons in snow and rain but not the dark so friends husband will cover driving in the dark too.
@@fitnessfran Thank you, I definitely did my homework and watched all the videos, made notes, had the DVLA books and the DGN course too. If I’d not have got this friend and her husband helping me I’d have asked my instructor for post test lessons as found it hard going from a diesel Corsa to my petrol Golf plus. I’m still having a few issues but with help I’ll gain confidence and I’m avoiding certain situations until I’ve had some extra support to make sure I’m safe. I’ll be having motorway lessons too in time (not til I’ve got my confidence up with building speed) Learning to drive at 50 was a much better experience than when I first attempted it at 17 and gave up!
There was some good tips in this video, I did 40 hours of professional lessons and idk how many hours with my parents. I would strongly recommend a notepad, my instructor could explain things really well 👍
These are really good tips. It's not usually the driving instructor trying to delay you but it really does feel like people think that when you tell them they're not ready! And the homework and notebook tip is really good
@@picklestheswift have you passed your test I'm busy learning theory and hazard perception I know I've got a brill instructor that has said I'm getting better and improved I just over think things
@@Sharon-cl6rs yes I have passed my driving test, after 40 hours of professional lesson and about 20 hours of lessons with my parents. I passed it first time with one minor, I had an amazing instructor (the best in the world). For my theory I made sure I read every single question which was hard but well worth it (I got 50/50 on the multiple choice) and the hazard perception you need a lot of concentration. So after you have completed the multiple choice part refocus and smash out the hazard perception and get the score you deserve! Best of luck in the future ☺️👍
I've only been driving since February I've done.12 lessons at first was doing twice a month 1and half hour lessons then the instructor changed it to 1 hour every week they are a lot of money thank-you for the advice
Great video as always. My test is next week but on my drive to the area last lesson I was making mistakes I wouldn’t usually. I was mostly fine driving independently around the test centre area, hill starts, junctions parking etc. Done a practice mini test on the satnav that went well . But When I do mess up the way my instructor responds makes me more nervous and uncomfortable. I’m worried I’m too nervous to take my actual test and that my instructor isn’t the right one for me. But I’m so close to my test that I’m scared to change instructor and the next dates are not until November. I don’t know what to do.
he plugs 2 creators doing the same thing no names no mention i know who they are im doing my lessons and watched both past 2 months i wanna put a great thanks he shares them no names no attacks just same people doing the same work all of these need to be commended they will help people trying to pass and push forward because if we don't learn then how will we ever evolve
Thanks!! 😃 I feel like if you’re learning to drive and watch RUclips you definitely know about Dgn and clear view already haha! They’re the 2 RUclipsrs I have the most respect for because their content slaps and they’re super consistent. It’s just a nod to 2 good people doing great things but there is a long list of others I rate as well 😊
The problem is thoug if you’re not quite ready or haven’t completed everything you’re still going to want to try anyway because if you delay your test you’ll be delaying it for 6 months!
And this is literally the problem so the DVSA implemented a thing where if instructors get too many fails they get penalised. So they’re getting strict on only taking people who are guaranteed passes. So now we’re hearing so many stories in the dms of people who can’t move their test forward because there are literally no tests even in 6 months in some cases and their instructor won’t take them so they’ve basically wasted 62 pounds 😢
@@handsomesquidward5160 100% they take an average overview of your an instructor’s test data and if an instructor gets more than 6 driver faults or more than 0.5 serious faults per test they get hauled in for a standards check, which is a long and pretty shiny process which sometimes ends in you losing your teaching licence
Yessss! That’s good progress! Well done and keep going with the mock tests they’re really good at identifying faults that you could make on your real test when you’re driving independently and you know you won’t get help 😊
Idk man all I needed was belief that I was ready and that I could pass. Being nervous is just something that’s always going to happen when taking a test, I don’t think there’s anything you can do about it when you know you’ve prepared. More than anything I would say luck is a big thing in the test.
im planning on doing a little experiment. no license but i used to work at a dealership for two years so like you say, i can control a car but cant drive. downloaded a couple city maps on assetto corsa and have been cruising round getting the muscle memory down for mirror checks and looking out for signs and road markings and speed limits and also been watching a LOT of driving channels and mock tests. i reckon a 10 hour session would get me a license.
Great video, Franco 👏 I'm still not on the road (pun intended) to being test-ready yet. Mostly, because I've been out of work for a while and I am scraping for funds with everything as it is. It's usually the case that I have the money but not the time, but it's reversed. I also don't have a car, or really any friends nearby that I can practice with. I just had my first lesson in months today as I had to cancel my test date back at the end of April as I just simply wasn't ready. Every mini mock exam I take in my lessons, I get serious or dangerous faults on so I damn well KNOW that I'm not ready! I just had to re-take my theory test as it ran out too. AND I didn't pass it first time like I did back in 2021 - It took me 3 attempts! 🤤
I went to a football match to support my local football team the night before the test I support Exeter City we played Notts county we lost 3-0 caught the last train home got home after midnight got up about 7am the next morning made sure I ate properly got picked up at 9am drove to the test centre did the hour before the test had a comfort break then did the test at 11.11 passed with 3 minors and with the head examiner as well.
I found driving with my brother that I got a bit lazy with mirror checks as I could get away with it, also I wasn't getting quality feedback on what I was doing wrong, and I also hated the car cause of the sticky accelerator. Ended up doing 60 hours with instructor, but that's only cause I had to wait 4 months for a test, but passed first time with 3 minors and those extra hours have made me a better driver.
i done close to 40 hours probably 50+ hours of videos i done lessons during rush hour, in the rain, and in the dark+rain, I still do some dumb shit but i still go for my test, its also experience and if i fail so what i do it again at least i will have experience how test feels like etc maybe i pass first-time happy times.
My instructor is preparing me for my test in my own car which is a good thing I think because I'm driving at night with my dad and more driving hours , though he keeps trying to get me to use the handbrake on every junction and other stuff he was taught learning to drive in the 70s
The truth is you can be a average driver and still pass your test? How? Luck? Luck will play a part on your test, obstructions/hazards, conditions of the road, nerves etc will all play a massive part, the better driver you are the less you will need to rely on luck but lots of people pass and that’s why sadly they go on to kill others.
My driving instructor wants me to do my test that I have set for the 3rd august. I don’t feel like I’m ready and I feel like he knows it too. But I feel like he wants me to do it so that I pay the price increase that he’s had since May
Best pupil i had 7.5 hours from beginner, longest well acording to pupil they had 6 instructors before me and had 122 hours then took another 15 hours with me.
i got my driving test in 11 days and maybe its just me but i dont think im passing. my driver instructor believes me 100% i will pass and has no doubt and my mum has been in the car too and also very much believes. im doing an automatic any help?
I’m actually near giving up now failed twice one doing 24 in 20 going downhill (ok understandable) then I got failed for being in right lane too long even when I did move to left safely but he was like nah ..and now I feel like they really do try find fault cos the route I went was just weird second time 😅 I’m actually confident aswell but now I’m losing hope 😢
I love your videos Francis!! I took my theory test last week (21st) and I passed with two wrong… I’m not usually good at tests and that was one of my best results. You’re awesome ❤
I have my test on 26th July. I can do everything without help, i can figure out wtf to when a blue light comes flying behind me on my own, but nervs are killing me. My instructor agrees im ready (hes got highest girst time pass rate in my area and the hardest to get hold of, which says alot) and i do aswell, along with my family, but my nervs are killing me. Any tips on how to keep them at bay as much as possible?
Thank you for your video. I am a confident driver in my husbands car, (I only drive with him) its a Ford Focus but Im not confident in my instructors car and hate being watched, I drive normally in my husbands car but I am terrible with my instructors car, what should I do. I have been trying to hire a ford focus in my area but there are none.
If it’s the being watched that’s a problem I’d try and persevere with it because it’ll prepare you for being watched on your driving test. If it’s a case where you are only comfortable in the focus because that’s what you drive the most then you should go to your driving test with your husband (there’s no benefit to taking an instructor car to your driving test)
you can always take your test in your husbands car, theres no issue with bringing your own car to your test - you just need to make sure its in good condition and provide anything extra needed for the examiner such as an interior mirror. Also ask your instructor if you can do lessons in your husbands car, it shouldn't be an issue. When my friend was doing her lessons she didn't get on in her instructors car and did every lesson in her own car. I'm not sure if there will be any other necessities such as insurance or anything so ask your instructor about that :)
@@fitnessfran I not sure what car it is but it has a weird futuristic gear stick where you press a 'P' to put it in park and the hand brake is like a square button.. If I use my husbands car, dont I need to get a rear mirror fixed and dual peddles on the other side?
@@fitnessfran Have to be honest, I do need more lessons. I suffer with anxiety and its just wearing me down. Im gana try to keep going. Thanks for the advice. Keep up the good work, your videos are very helpful.
Instructors waiting lists are so long we could fill a slot 3 times over. Not money grabbing. Just doing our job and not willing to send someone to test under our name when they can't drive safely. 😊
been learning over a year and my driving instructor is always confident and says I'll pass but when I'm weeks away he he changes his mind, moved my tests 4 times as per his recommendation and now I don't want to move it anymore, what do I do?

@@fitnessfran I not sure what car it is but it has a weird futuristic gear stick where you press a 'P' to put it in park and the hand brake is like a square button.. If I use my husbands car, dont I need to get a rear mirror fixed and dual peddles on the other side?
@@fitnessfran Have to be honest, I do need more lessons. I suffer with anxiety and its just wearing me down. Im gana try to keep going. Thanks for the advice. Keep up the good work, your videos are very helpful.
6) Instructor wants as much money out of you before letting you go
Instructors waiting lists are so long we could fill a slot 3 times over. Not money grabbing. Just doing our job and not willing to send someone to test under our name when they can't drive safely. 😊
wrong sorry
been learning over a year and my driving instructor is always confident and says I'll pass but when I'm weeks away he he changes his mind, moved my tests 4 times as per his recommendation and now I don't want to move it anymore, what do I do?
I think he’s trying to make money. How you doing now?
Who else has a license but still watched this video
Did you say £50 or £15 day’s insurance?
Iv had 20 hours and Iv got my test in November
You’re driving instructor and most of the time while driving in this video ,you’re not even looking at the road.
