@@WillDracott I appreciate it’s not illegal but it’s strongly discouraged.. that’s from the Highway Code!

@@WillDracott In the settings (cog icon in the bottom right of the playback) you can set the play back at down to quarter speed, so that should be enough to see what is going on. Personally, I think this speed is ideal, as I can watch it even at double speed and see the route quickly, and just slow it down for the bits I haven't seen before on the other routes.

I just had a practice here today. The road was not clear so I waited before the yellow box. Some cars in front were already on the box. And then the car behind started to sound their horn to me. It seems that it's a tradition that they ignored the rule and tried to force me to do the same. That's a bit pressure for learners drivers.

Hello Will, My examiner took me through this route, but I failed to follow the road signs towards M5. Please can you explain all the challenging things on this route please?
@WillDracott
@WillDracott 4 жыл бұрын
Hi, sorry for not replying sooner. I'm not great with social media. The signs for the M5 start by Henbury leisure centre. Left at the mini R/B. You follow this road over the bumps, over the bridge and past the rugby club until you come to the 50 mph, Cribbs Causeway R/B. Here you go straight on. This is a 50 mph dual carriageway, the signs you'll be asked to follow now are for Filton, which is right, 2nd exit at the next R/B. It's only 40 mph down here. You'll then switch back to following signs for the M5. Which is left at the large traffic light controlled R/B. I think this next bit is the tricky section. You'll then be asked to follow signs for Bristol. Keep to the left. When the new lane forms on your left, get in it. A new sign shows Bristol off to the left with an arrow pointing up and diagonally off to the left. It's a gentle left turn (5:03 time stamp) Then very suddenly it's the end of the road. The give way signs and markings are here to warn you that traffic (potentially high speed traffic) is coming from your right. When it's clear, emerge. Head to the next R/B and it's straight across, left 1st exit at the next and your back in Henbury at the Crow Lane R/B.

Failed my first test last week at avonmouth test centre. It was crazy busy, i couldnt even sit down in the waiting area because all the chairs were taken. Car park was as bad. 1 bay available lol didnt help my nerves much but no excuses I done alright on the test other than what I failed on which was driving too slow on higher speed roads. I was looking and looking for signs because i wasnt too sure in places. But they seemed really sparse to me on the stretches of road I was on.

There could be 11 candidates all going out in test at the same time here at the moment. This is due to Southmead test centre being closed. I was told yesterday by the Avonmouth TC manager that they're looking for a new Southmead area site as it's just too busy here at this test centre. Southmead closed November 5th, it's the 13th today so it didn't take long to realise closing Southmead without a replacement site wasn't the greatest of ideas.

Im actually not sure. There was a point when I had a van overtake me quite aggressively while i was going 30mph. That set alarm bells ringing so it mustve been a 40. I think it was the (40) signs i missed because i saw the national speed limit sign when i hit the stretch of road in the video just after those temporary traffic lights where the workmen are based. But even then i didnt go to 60. Closer to 45/50mph. My test was on the 7th and conditions were so bad with rain. I wasnt encouraged or told to speed up at any point in the test. Test paper shows Progress, appropriate speed, 3 marks/minors that have then become a major I assume. My examiner was wasnt hanging around after the test, and gave me a very brief talk on why I`d failed and then was off like a shot lol It was extremely busy that day like you said so I get that
