Glenn is not only a excellent instructor , but also a nice chill guy. Very calm and patient . Informative . Passed the test! Thanks Glenn . I still owe you a beer hehe Definitely recommend lessons with him.
Hey Reine! Thank you so much for your kind comments and I’m elated that you found the lessons beneficial and informative! Yay 🎉 Hahaha! Beer sounds good, but it’s got to be something after 5pm or the alarm bells will go off 🤣 especially on a double demerit weekend! Take care and it was a privilege to have assisted you.
i was so confused why y'all were driving on the left side of the road, didn't pick up on accents, was looking for a washington driver's test, and then i checked the caption cuz i was so confused and realised
Thank you for dropping the comment and welcome to Western Australia! Cause driving on the left would certainly not work for you guys 🤣 All the best mate!
Hi Fey, I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Jaja was absolutely hilarious with her bubbly personality. Yes, I always believe that people learn best when they are relaxed. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Sincere Regards
Thank you so so so much Sir. You are the best. You made my dream come true. You helped me with your anxiety, calmed me down and taught me how to drive without pressure. Driving with you was like taking a therapy session. Thank you thank you :)
You are certainly most welcome and I was glad to help you out. It was all test nerves but you do actually drive really well. Take care while on your new red P’s and keep in touch. Will certainly pop into your restaurant when I’m in the area. Stay safe! Glenn / MyDrive WA
Hi Nadia! Thank you for your encouraging comments. Sincerely wishing you all the best for the Monday test. Watch out for the ‘signs’ and ‘lines’ during your test. Glenn
Hey great vidoes! They are really helpful, I just have one question: In regard to the Left something Behind exercise, I have attempted it and watched videos many times, but it really seems difficult to stay on the correct side of the road when reversing out of the driveway. I drive a big car and even if I instantly lock the steering I end up going onto the other side of the road a bit, I lost a point for "understeering" when it was not possible for me to steer more than I did. So I guess I need to be going deeper into the driveway? but then I have a problem with the "private property mailbox line" is the front wheels that have to be behind the mailbox or the nose of the car? It seems impossible to correctly complete the manoeuvre in a big car with the houses that have their mailbox relatively close to the road. Thanks in advance! I really appreciate it.
Hey and thanks for watching! I do understand your concern regarding the path issues when reversing out of the driveway especially with a bigger vehicle. What I usually teach my students is that go into the driveway keeping as left of it as you can. Once almost in, hook your vehicle sharply to the right, pointing your nose of the car at 2 o’clock or about 45 degree angle. Change your gear, and sharp lock reversing so that the vehicle pivots on the back wheel, keeping you as close to the inside kerbs. Hope that explanation helps :) Best Regards
@@goldeneye5026 Once you are comfortable, parallel reverse parking becomes a lot easier the closer you are to the vehicle in front of where you are aiming to park.
Hi Ruth and thanks for watching our videos. Apologies for the delayed reply as I was down south for the weekend. With regards to the Form 1 Lane, the general rule is that .... 🅰️ 30m from the merge point, you will need to begin to flash your indicators, 🅱️ 2 seconds prior to merge point, you will need to do the blind spot check. As for speeding, just a suggestion, I sometimes find it helpful during test to leave a 2cm window gap so that you can also hear the wind speeds. Hope that helps and MyDrive wishes you all the best for your test.
Yes, I will be uploading a new mock test in the next few days (done at the Success Licensing) which shows in the video at 1m 38s how a perfect merge looks like. Watch out for that.
Hello, my test is in a couple of days and I am just wondering if its fine to do 45 degree method to reverse park. This is easiest for me as I have a big car but I saw on another driving instructor youtube that "They mark you down" since you block both sides. Should I switch to 90 degree, or continue the 45 degree method (that was in the video)? Cheers
Hi and thanks for reaching out and watching our videos. The 90 degree / 2 bay reverse park method is of course the preferred method as it does not impede traffic flow. However it’s difficult to comment on how some assessors score the 45 degree reverse park which could depend on traffic conditions in the car park area and your safety checks prior to and during the reversing manoeuvre. If you are trying to reverse a bigger vehicle like a Prado, you could still do it at 90 deg, but you will have to leave slightly more than a door length from the end of the bay to the car. Hope this helps and let me know how the test went for you. Best Wishes Glenn MyDrive School
Hi and thanks for watching. Best way to calm the nerves is to know the test area well and also have your supervisor do a mock run to see how you perform under the spotlight. Remember, the assessors are NOT out to fail you, but are there to just validate if you are safe enough to be on your own. Best of luck!
Thank you for your message and watching our videos on MyDrive WA. Just clarifying your question.. are you asking if the assessors use the same route all the time?
@@mydrivewa if you don't mind me asking what was the speed limit and what was the speed she was doing? Is it an instant fail if you go like 3km over the limit?
@@asdfasdf-to5mu The speed issue was when they turned left at the lights @3:53 onto Third ave, there was roadworks occuring and a sign on the left of the road indicating the speed limit was changed to 40km/h which is standard around roadwork vehicles. I don't know the speed the student was travelling but she exceeded 40km/h which is an instant fail. You can not go above the speed limit, you need to remain in contol of the vehicle and reduce your speed to the posted speed by the time you reach the sign. If you are travelling faster than the posted speed once passed the sign it is a major mistake and instant fail. Hope that helps :)
I had very good experience with the driver instructor I'm Perth, nice people but the system is corrupt because working to fail people and make money. All the time the assessor fail people for different and new rules. Yesterday I respected the signal 20km/h and I failed because I respected the signal WTF! If people fail over and over again is because the system fail to support people learn how to drive....we have a small learn book with many missing information...I ask myself why a rich country don't have money to invest in a good learn book, more Assessors, more schools to learn to drive, camera inside the cars, access to your test record etc....this system making someone rich but prejudice thousands of people because drive your car must be a minimum human right especially in a city like Perth where is almost impossible work without car
Hi and thanks for the comments. Wishing you all the best for the next test. You can also direct your feedback to the Department of Transport using this link: www.transport.wa.gov.au/aboutus/feedback-and-complaints.asp Cheers and Good Luck with your next attempt.
@@mydrivewa thank you. Unfortunately in Perth the system to calculate the PDA points is not honest and clear because the assessor have power to decide his own rules and points. This create a very corrupt system I never see this in other countries usually they have a very clear and honest system to calculate points during the test. But anyway I know the drivers instructions doing the best to help the learner drives to pass in the test
If the minors are repeatedly in the same category eg. Looking / Signals etc - it’s a fail as well. Have a look at our video on the test score sheet and you will understand better. Cheers

This is Kelmscott. Speeding instant fail. She does hand cross overs which is a no no must be push and pull technique
Totally agree that speeding is an immediate fail item.
Mr know it all over here

It's klemscott area?
Yes. This was recorded at Kelmscott Licensing.
Hi
Did they take for the test same place at all the time?
Thank you for your message and watching our videos on MyDrive WA. Just clarifying your question.. are you asking if the assessors use the same route all the time?
Yes. Thats my question..
Each individual assessor usually has his/her own specific route which they do change from time to time.
Can we ride 70 kms in fourth gear ...or do we need to shift it to fifth
At 70km/h, it is usually preferable on 5th. But that also depends on the power of your vehicle and the gradient of the climb.
Did she pass the test?
Unfortunately no.. she had 2 major mistakes which was speeding and being prompted when the lights turned green.
@@mydrivewa if you don't mind me asking what was the speed limit and what was the speed she was doing? Is it an instant fail if you go like 3km over the limit?

Usually if there are major errors during the drive test, you will not pass. Thank you
