I passed my PDA today (third time)! This was the last video I watched before I did my test and had a perfect score! Thank you for your videos! They are my saviour!!!!
Well done. Stay safe out on the roads. If you feel that the video has been of value to you, you can click on the 'Thanks' button below the video and make a small contribution to the cost of providing the content. It's a fairly thankless task to provide the videos but many people get enormous benefits from watching. Again, congratulations! ... and thanks for watching!
Thanks mate, just passed my test today. And thats saying something, ive been taught to run beforr i could walk if you get what i mean. Used to race go karts and have driven fourbies and fast cars my entire life and went from trying to get the fastest lap time to trying to be a safer driver who treats every step of driving like a puzzle. Had to put on my poker face and grin and bear it.
@@keqrou many young males think they're God's gift to driving. But the casualty stats tell a different story. Racing karts and driving on public roads are two totally different activities requiring different temperaments and attitudes. Congratulations on getting your licence but don't let your ego get in the way of being a safe and considerate driver. Unfortunately cemeteries are full of supposed "expert" young drivers.
@@ilukadrivingschool8696 you know what, that's completely right. I've put 300ks on in the past 2 days and I've realised that my skill and knowing hot to correct the wheel and heel and toe and all doesn't help if I don't know the road rules and cut someone off. And what you say about the racing vs driving thing is true. I've used I'd say about 3% of my racing knowledge on road so far and the other 97% have been from my test knowing where to give way and all. I'm not trying to die or take another's life and in turn ruin mine. I've been calming myself down at Red lights and reminding myself all it takes is 1 mistake and I'm in jail for life.
@@ilukadrivingschool8696 plus I filled up the big girl yesterday and payed $390 and realised I might need to limit the throttle apllication😆. On the bright side, my dad was also a racer but he drove in south Africa as a paramedic with no speed limits and drove army trucks at 15 when he was conscripted and took a defensive driving course for 2 years. So he's been teaching me to drive like everyone wants to kill me. As in not swerving but being in a lane where if I have to emergency brake or swerve I'm able to without bring rear ended.
My opinion is that really early in the morning or late afternoon are the best times. Obviously the main factor is that your driving is up to the required standard before attempting the test. Some of the early timeslots incur the added factor of school zones between 7:30am and 9am - but there are generally less vehicles and pedestrians in the Joondalup CBD and therefore less chance of an adverse interaction. If you're good enough you have a good chance of passing at any time of the day - but if you want to put all of the 'one percenters' in your favour, you would choose quiet roads over busy ones.
OK. Good observation. Now go back to 1:34 and freeze the video. You tell me what is the optimal path into and out of that corner to 1) track accurately and smoothly around the entire corner, 2) keep the vehicle as stable as possible during a change of direction, 3) use the most travelled section of road, and 4) follow a legal path. And bear in mind that when approaching the corner, there wasn't a painted line on the road designating a bike lane - just a decorative concrete strip that might once have been intended to be a bike lane - but in the absence of a painted lane divider, it's all road and you can use it. As such it's quite valid and correct to get close(ish) to the kerb on approach to the corner. Yes, there is a bike lane on the exit to the corner on the new street but it's necessary to use a small section of the bike lane to complete a smooth turn using an optimal path. There's nothing illegal about being in the bike lane for a short distance if there's a sensible reason to do it. The alternative would be to run very wide through the corner with a sharper turn at the end. Hardly optimal or commonly travelled. When turning a corner, the kerb is the best template for your path - without getting too close to it of course, but following that general path. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching.
@ilukadrivingschool8696 thank you for replying, I wasn't criticizing, I was just merely trying to understand. I have a driving test on Friday and am trying to catch all the details if possible. Two questions please, do I always have to do head check when starting to drive from a parked position such as forgetting something or stopping for shopping and will I fail if I forget to do it once or twice, and when I'm stopping at a stop sign, is it a problem if I look left and right whilst not fully stopped? Thank you mate
@@tottirei1 yes, you need to do a head check when moving away if it's a situation where somebody might potentially overtake. I've seen people failed when they park in the wrong spot e.g. across a driveway, and then they move forwards a couple of metres. If there is space for someone to get past, you have to properly check that section of road before moving away. Your side mirror won't show you everything! With regards to looking around when approaching a stop sign: all we're trying to do here is to get you to physically STOP - COMPLETELY! If you're preoccupied with the traffic on the other road, you might just see a gap and forget to stop completely. Especially if you're nervous and not having your best drive on test day.
In a non-test situation you need to put the car into Park (automatic), or 1st gear (manual), or reverse gear (manual - steep downhill slope) then turn the car off, get out and lock up. But in the test, if you are expected to keep the engine running, you would be justified to put the car in neutral and then relax your left foot while the assessor marks the previous section and explains the next. Just make sure it's definitely neutral before releasing the clutch. It's also a good time to have a drink of water and maybe eat a lolly that you've stashed in your central console. Handbrake also needs to be applied firmly (unless it's automatically activated in Park as per some auto transmission vehicles). Make sure the car doesn't roll while you're waiting for the next part of the test.
It's always a worry when a driving test candidate asks this sort of question so close to their test. Hopefully you've done your proper preparation and just want a few extra tips. • don't break the law. Stop completely at a stop sign. Don't speed. Know your give way rules. • You must know how to turn right at a busy traffic light without an arrow - and what to do if the light goes amber or red while you are trying to turn. • stick to your lane in multi lane roundabouts. • watch our video on the top 10 fail reasons • watch our videos of typical test routes • look behind you (by twisting your neck both ways and checking your central mirror) BEFORE and DURING reversing manoeuvres • always check your mirror before braking • Park in reverse before your test, pay for an hour of parking, and put the ticket on the dashboard • get a good night sleep • turn off your phone • make sure your log book is correctly completed (if applicable) • being your learners permit, or photo ID (e.g. current passport) • if you are using your own car, make sure it's licenced and roadworthy with a centrally mounted handbrake • if you need to renew your car's licence, understand that BPay payments can take a couple of days to be completed
Thats not for me to know its for anyone that i know that would go for there test at Joondalup licensing centre. I know what i have to do though as ive had tons of practice dont worry about my self though as ive been prepared for it @rivingschool8696
I want asked you something… Example you’re teacher driving “in 1 day have 3 students for test driving same day but different time example “ then 1 students is failed is big nervous because so harsh breaking “then for next another 2 students is the same assessor and the same the route is in purpose the same assessor and the same route also ?how came they can be the same everything like first students for test ?
@@ilukadrivingschool8696 do you know route for test driving in Joondalup?I know different assessor different route…liked me test Before but I failed because I was so nervous and so much harsh breaking when left something behind 🤦🏼♀️
@@amiey_osman there are lots of assessors and lots of different routes. The two videos on this channel are real routes but there are many others. The best thing to do is to get lessons with a good local instructor. They can take you around the test area, assess your driving and answer any of your questions. There,are no 'short cuts' to passing.
There are better times such as very early and very late. If you're well prepared you can pass at any time of the day - but doing your test when there is less traffic and less pedestrians means less chance of an adverse interaction with another road user. But a well prepared candidate at any time of the day will have a better chance of passing than an underprepared candidate.
@@brunnapescarollo6410 no I didn't - and for good reason. The pedestrians were waiting to cross the road that I was travelling straight ahead on. There was no designated pedestrian crossing. Just decorative brick paved roadway.
This was legit the most helpful video. Passed my driving test in Joondalup first try today and the route he took me on was basically this video
Well done! Thanks for watching!

What are a good time to do the test on Saturday?
@@juanjaramillo-ho1tn as early as possible. Saturday tests generally start around 8am.
Hi brother if possible could you please put the names of these testing roads. Thanks
If you watch the full videos you'll work out the streets for yourself. It's pretty straightforward. Just left and right turns.
would 4-5pm be a good time to avoid peak hour?
Yes, or early morning.
