What a handy video. After seeing those dashcam video compilations I'm convinced they pass everybody irrespective of how good/bad the student is. And let's be brutally honest; the whole "learning to drive" program just prepares learners to pass a very elementary driving test. I was shocked to discover that passing a driving test for your HR and HC heavy truck licence is easier than passing wind.

[@thedrivingtestguynsw8424]

Hi Coover (again) yes you are right. You can get a HR licence in a day course.

[@thedrivingtestguynsw8424]

@@aerivoa Hi Artisticful if the driving test had a few changes such as 95% pass instead of 90%, a fail if any skill has 3 errors (not just signals and observations) then you would be forced to actually be very good to pass. At the moment the driving test often passes underprepared students and fails better prepared students. Its just a random 30 min drive. It is what it is.

[@coover65]

@@thedrivingtestguynsw8424 What a stunningly brutul comment! Fair to say that problem is Australia wide. Scary to read about students who get their licence yet admit to not being able to do a manouevre and weren't assessed on it I learnt to drive in Germany, and later in life did police driver training (1986) and ambulance (1998) driver training (both in Australia) . As you may appreciate, I've seen first hand the result of "not yet competent" at driving. Question for you: any idea what percentage of students sit their driving test not ready? Or are most who fail a product of nerves rather than competence getting in the way? Most instructors may say "it is what it is", but you've gone the extra effort with these videos. Cheers

[@thedrivingtestguynsw8424]

@@coover65 Hi Coover I think alot of young people get eager for their licence and book it the first chance they can whether they are ready or not. Nerves often play a big role as there is alot of pressure to pass. My remedy for nerves is to know ur stuff. If you know ur stuff then things go much better.

[@thedrivingtestguynsw8424]

@@aerivoa Hi Artisticful your question opens a can of worms. I dont know the actual facts but Transport NSW (formally RMS) is part of a political organisation so politics come into it. If Transport NSW actually had a test that required students to be really good, most would fail unless they paid thousands in training fees. This wouldn't be good for votes so they do things that are perceived as good, ie a logbook, safer driver course, red and green Pz. All these things make the political party look good without actually requiring much from the voters. Again it is what it is.

[@edotedy]

Hi Jimbo, great videos mate! A couple of questions: 1) what is the recommended speed limit in wet weather? Will you get marked down for not going 10km/h under in wet weather? 2) When you are coming from a single lane turning left/right into a multi-lane street, do you have to indicate which lane you are taking, and if so, what is the correct way to do this? 3) When you are on a T-intersection turning left into a multi-lane street, and the lane on the left is free but there are other cars speeding through the middle or furthest right lane, is it legal to turn into the leftest lane or must you wait until all lanes have cleared? Thanks in advance and sorry for all the questions!

[@thedrivingtestguynsw8424]

Hi Edotedy 1. You won't get marked for not going 10 under just drive with more space in front and gentler around bends.2. Use the same signal and just jump straight to the lane you want. There is a bit more to lane jumping I'll cover that soon in a video. 3. You can turn with one lane clear but if the car in the second lane changes lane it will hit you and you will be at fault. Low risk option is to go with all lanes clear. Sorry a bit quick with answers but I have to get to a lesson real soon. Hope this helps. If you need more info just let me know.

Thanks so much, Jim! Another great video. I've pushed out my test to Nov, so defo keen to see the detailed version of this one if it's not too much work. I guess the one question I have on this is -- I can't recall the road name but it's in inner west around Dulwich Hill area where there's a road that merges into main road but somehow always gets priority instead of the cars on the main road. I've never been able to figure out why that is but is surely the case even though the cars coming straight on the main road should get priority.

Hi Jimbo! You are fantastic!! All ur videos are excellent. U r God sender to me😊. I am doing my test on Thursday. Can you show a video on changing lanes and merging in traffic. Thanks, appreciate a lot!!

[@thedrivingtestguynsw8424]

Hi Harsha thanks for watching. Good luck on Thursday. I do have plans for a lane change and merge video but it's not planned this week. But in the mean time when you change lanes, check mirrors, signal sufficiently and always check over your shoulder. Keep the wheel straight while do these checks and signals. When merging with other traffic, make sure you get the signal on early and keep checking that the cars in the lane beside you are hanging back and letting you in. Try not to slow unnecessarily while you are looking for this opportunity. Eventually someone does hang back and let you in. Go out and practice this over the next few days in some busy roads.

[@77helium]

Hi Jimbo! Some cross streets with solid edge line painted on the Left (parking lane) extending very close to the intersection. I was told if we clipped the painted solid edge line while turning Left is a fail item. Is it true? I thought the rule allows for crossing solid edge line while turning...

[@thedrivingtestguynsw8424]

You can cross these lines when within 100m of turning left.

Hi Jimbo. Thank you for all your videos. Just a quick question on 2:54 - 3:22. You mentioned about priority road. How can I can tell if I am driving on a priority road and does not have to give way to my right going straight if I am turning left when there are no stop/give way signs? Lasly, I do not need to give way to oncoming car turning right if I am turning left on a priority road, right? Thanks again.

[@thedrivingtestguynsw8424]

Hi Ernest with the priority road you don't see a stop/give way sign or a line across the road in front of you. If you are on a priority road turning left then you will only give way to the right. There are no oncoming cars in your path. There could be pedestrians on your left though that may have to give way to.

Also another question, how practical is 3 second rule as it is relative to speed as I might need less space if I am at 40k per hour vs 20km per hour. How should I manage that in the test?

Hi Amit I dont know about Chatswood but if any viewers do then please post here. The 3 second following distance is not marked if your speed is 20km/h or below. Once you go above 20km/h it starts getting marked. The fail item is marked if you are 1 sec or less behind the car you are following and not actively in the process of increasing it. Good luck on Friday (today or next week?). 1045am is a great time to go.

Hi Marcus whenever you leave a park you actually signal right for 5 seconds. However it looks a bit weird signaling right when you pull out to the left of a 45 or 90 deg park. When Narellan RMS used to do angle park in Camden they allowed either signal to be used. The testers manual doesnt really address this so just use left if you pull out left and right if you pull out right. If i get more info ill edit this post.

Hi Sid yes you will need to give way to that car if it is close. 99% of drivers don't stop at stop signs so you can't depend on that to give you time to clear.

What about turning right at the stop sign, you give way to everyone?

[@thedrivingtestguynsw8424]

Give way to left and right and oncoming.

Hi Jimbo, I found all your videos very informative. I have been in Sydney for a year, I have an international license. Do I need to get a learner license before I signup for driving schools?

[@thedrivingtestguynsw8424]

Hi Carluen if you have been here more than 3months and you are staying then you will need a learner licence. Check to see if your licence can be changed over for a NSW licence without a driving test. Some countries can. A driving school will need the learner licence for their insurance to be valid.

Hi Jimbo, I have a question regarding the last scenario. I am standing on the stop sign (carA) and another car (carB) diagonally opposite to me is also standing on the stop sign. Who has right of way if carA is turn right and carB is turning right?

[@thedrivingtestguynsw8424]

hi Shailija in that case both cars can turn in front of each other if there are no other cars that A or B have to give way to.

[@danielbadawy7323]

lets just say your at a cross street and there is a giveway sign and on both sides its really bad vision and your turning right. Your creeping up like your supposed to cm by cm and while you doing that at the moment you still cant see because the road is pretty narrow and the parked cars are just completely blocking your view and you creep up until you have better vision but you are already like half or a quarter over the the give way line and you see a car coming on your right and you know like they will hit your car unless they dont stop, what do you do? The parked cars combining with the narrow road is extra blocking your vision. Did I creep up to much? Even worse if you are in that situation and you creeped up into you are literally half way or a quarter across the line and theres a car coming to your right and then at that unlucky time there is also a car from the left coming as well, do you turn right to avoid the collision with the car on the right or reverse back a little until you are not obstructing the car on the right and then restart the whole process of creeping up a little bit. Im so sorry for the long question and explanation I Just want to know what to do in every situation so on my Ps test I dont get a fail.

Hi Jimbo, thanks for your videos! I wanted to ask, will I get marked down if I cross my hand over the middle to turn my steering wheel? I tend to do this sometimes and don't realise it but am trying to fix this habit.

[@thedrivingtestguynsw8424]

Hi Celine thanks for watching !. You can cross your hands over the middle but try not to excessively get your hands tangled around. Keep hands on the outside of the wheel and avoid flat hand palming with one hand. You can allow the wheel to slip through your hands coming out of a turn.

Hi Jimbo. two questions if you could help clarify: 1) if the vision to my right is completely obscured (case in point: near the silverwater test center, there was a truck parked right at the corner of the intersection (to my right) and completely blocked my view to the right side, so i am assuming that stopping and then gently rolling a bit to try to assess the oncoming traffic from the right would be ok in an actual test? becuase the truck was blocking a fair bit of the road view in this case. 2) turning left onto a main road and the traffic light is red to go straight but black (goes off) for the left turn- can i turn left or do i need to wait for the left turn green light to come back on? asking becuase i was told by a friend that if the light goes off you can turn left taking care of incoming traffic from your right. but my instructor said that is only allowed where there is a sign that says specifically to turn with care. just wanted to get clarity on the cases where lights suddenly go off. thanks

[@thedrivingtestguynsw8424]

Hi Naveed, (1) yes you have to move in very slowly to see better, bend around left if you can and stick you head forward. If its a stop sign stop at the line and then move in. (2) Yes you can only turn left on a red if the "Left turn on red permitted after stopping" sign is display. If you watch my traffic light vid Part 2 you will see it.

Hi Jimbo, love your videos! They've been a great help as I've been learning. Just have a question for stop signs at an intersection as I got stuck on this situation last week. This is the situation: both you and the opposing traffic have a stop sign. You want to turn right, but there's a queue of traffic opposite you going straight. There are no cars approaching on your right or left. When should you go? I ended up waiting until there was no longer any opposing traffic - in the same way I would act if there were no stop lines on either side. My instructor advised that in this situation I should only give way to the opposing cars that are already stopped or already in the intersection, but that if the opposing car going straight is only approaching the stop line and has not yet stopped - I'm okay to go. This does make sense to me as if I am already stopped, I'm one step ahead of the approaching cars that still need to stop before they can proceed. The road user handbook confused me again though here. The 'Stop sign and line at intersections' page it says "you must give way to vehicles driving in, entering or approaching the intersection [except for stop/give way oncoming vehicles turning right ...]". The "Approaching" usage here has me unsure what I should do in this situation. Thanks in advance!

[@thedrivingtestguynsw8424]

Hi Rachel i would also give way to approaching cars that are close as most people don't actually stop at the stop signs. If they run the stop sign and hit you, you will be at fault.

Ok ill will look into this a bit more but here is want i think. If you are turning left then give way to the right only. If you are turning right then give way to everyone left, right and oncoming that is going straight. If you are going straight then slow up and see if there is anyone coming from left and right that look like they are not stopping then back off and give way to them. In all scenarios if no one is giving way to you when they should you should back of and let them go to prevent an accident.
