Greetings, thank you so much for the amazing free lessons. I have free questions that are a bit confusing here. At 4:53..May I know why headcheck on the right while you are trying to turing left? I am bit confused in that area because I thought we should head check on the left if someone is going to jump on the road while you are about to drive. 5:34...the heard check here was it on the left or right?

[@thedrivingtestguynsw8424]

Hello Inner this particular head check is the one you do when you are first at the traffic lights. I've checked to the right to see if there are any cars still coming through the red light. If you re watch Part 1 of the traffic light vids i explain this more.

Hi Sara, about the HPT test, I can suggest you to practice on SA hpt or download hpt app in the play store look for the one that have same emblem like SA hpt practice website, and when you go for the test please remember to read and remember the scenario so you can touch or not touch the screen when the clip come up. There are 35 clips in practice but in the test there are only 15 clips if you are in NSW, there might be a few clips that are not in the practice but as long as you practice those you will know how to respond to them because hpt test focus on 5 commons crashes types of P plates driver. I hope this help, good luck, by the way I did my hpt in September and passed first go, so I do not think the test format has change yet.

hey Jimbo- just passed at Bondi Junction 2nd time lucky. Its been a long journey for me as my Mum doesn't drive so had no one to teach me. I learnt originally to drive in Spain which was really tricky as it was in Spanish on the right side of the road. I failed to give way in 2011 in Wodonga and was too proud to try again until August last year. Your channel is excellent- could you do more videos on P plater common mistakes or accidents to then drive more safely and defensively- I've passed now and so there is still much more to learn- I don't know how to 45-degree park eg.

Hi BrowsOnFleek yes you are right. If Car A has a red and a "left turn on red" sign . Car B may have a green right arrow and turning their right toward Car A Car A has to give way to Car B. If Car A gets green then Car A has priority again.

I've heard all sorts of things about how to signal when leaving a slip lane. Some people say you should signal right to join the main road, while others say just stick with the left indicator. Which one is actually right?

[@thedrivingtestguynsw8424]

It all depends how much the slip lane wraps around to the left. New "Left turn anytime" slips lanes don't wrap much and just point slightly angled to the left. With these just use left signal in and out. Ones that wrap around more and you steer/merge right to exit, you would need left in and right out. If you are not sure then just do left and right. That will be fine on a driving test.

Hi Ruby in the last scenario with the diagram I don't say we have to give way to Car A. In the standard left turn scenario Car A goes first over Car B, in the slip lane scenario Car A gives way to Car B.

[@storieswithanushkaandannik8896]

Hi Jimbo, at 6.55 of your video when we are turning left and giving way to traffic which might be turning infront of us are we not confusing those guys as they may be waiting for us to go first before turning right in front of us? How will they know we have the sign "left turn permitted on red after stopping'. Im actually thinking from this other car's perspective who might be waiting for the car to turn left (which has the sign infront) before cutting to turn rigjt in front of him.

[@thedrivingtestguynsw8424]

The context here is we both have red. So the other car is not trying to turn. We can turn on the red if it is safe.

Hi Jimbo,firstly your videos are very helpful and a huge thanks to you ! You are excellent teacher .My test is soon due at Hornsby & just wondering if it has 45angle park? I am bit nervous and will appreciate your advice/tips to handle this anxiety , any particular tips for Hornsby driving test ? Thanks in advance Jimbo

[@thedrivingtestguynsw8424]

Hello Chandni thank you for watching :) I dont know exactly re 45 deg at Hornsby but it would be highly unlikely. 45 deg is usually done in regional areas. Re anxiety, unfortunately driving test bring out the worst in nerves. My best advice is to know your stuff, do lots of practice tests in the same area the test is done. Try and do it around 1030am so its just after morning rush but your mind is still fresh. Best of luck :)

Hi Jimbo! Can you tell me the rules on taking your hands off the steering wheel? Whether it's when turning or when scratching your face etc.

[@thedrivingtestguynsw8424]

Hi Megan you can temporarily take one hand off to operate a control ie signal, change gear, scratch face etc. Soon as that's done both hands on wheel. When reversing or during manoeuvres they don't worry about it. Keep both hands on the wheel when waiting say at lights.

Hey Jimbo, when we are turning left and we get a green circle or green left arrow you mention doing a head check and then going. What is the headcheck for please? Is it checking if 6:19 anyone is coming from our right? But we dont have to give way to them (when we have green circle or green left arrow and we are turning left), correct?

[@thedrivingtestguynsw8424]

The head check is to see if someone is about the run the red and crash into you. Check out on KZbin some dash cam videos. These are very educational.

@@thedrivingtestguynsw8424 Thankyou! Yes, that makes sense:)

[@1one_extension]

Which side do i headcheck for on this part, left or right? 5:41

[@thedrivingtestguynsw8424]

If you are the first car then check both left and right. If there is space on your left side ie bike lane check left blindspot.

[@depraxgaming3518]

hey if there is a left turn slip lane but there is no “turn left at anytime with care” and there is no traffic lights to control that left turn slip lane, is it appropriate to assume you still treat it as a left turn at any time with care because some left turn slip lanes have a sign and some don’t

[@thedrivingtestguynsw8424]

Yes that's right. Just exit the slip lane when safe.

Thank you. To be exact about my last driving test scenario, the scenario of 8:45 in this video is exactly what it was like.

[@elisground9811]

I failed my test today but Im still happy that I failed since the reason why I failed is really the thing that I didnt encounter while having my driving lessons. I turned right and didnt give way to the coming traffic I thought I have the all the right way while the green traffic light was on and all the arrows were black but I should have driven to the center then wait until it is safe to enter the right lane. I almost collided to the other car and the testing officer brake it for me. According to the testing officer that was the only mistake I did but he needs to fail me coz it was really dangerous.

[@thedrivingtestguynsw8424]

Hi Miss Eli sorry to hear your test didn't work out today. Yes turning with just Green circle (no arrow) is a bit more involved. Yes you have to give way to oncoming. Hopefully you can get familiar with this scenario and pass next time.

But I will drive in the place where I failed and familiarise all the right turn traffic rules. I watched a video about the right turn as soon as I came home and now I have a better understanding about turning right in the traffic light especially in the traffic light that has no arrow.

[@ysabelleocampo7516]

Coming from a slip lane, are you allowed to turn left into the lane furthest away? If so, do you keep the left signal or change to red signal?

[@thedrivingtestguynsw8424]

You can keep the left signal on if the slip is a modern one that doesn't wrap around much and you just jump directly to the right lane.

[@germanhortas8895]

What happens on the last scenario you presented but there is no "Turn left on red permitted" sign? Can you turn on red?

[@thedrivingtestguynsw8424]

If there is no "Left Turn on Red" sign then you cannot turn on red.

Hey I have my test on the 19th of November I have other 5 lessons with a driving instructor I am so nervous I feel like I am capable too drive and pass the test but I am so nervous becuase I know how strict they are what’s the best advice for you day your videos help alot

[@thedrivingtestguynsw8424]

Hi Daria you need to be good in traffic, know your head checks, be good with traffic lights. Make sure your instructor teaches you stuff. The Manoeuvres don't need to perfect but make sure you over lay the headchecks. Also keep watching :)

[@sardarmokri2398]

really useful, thank you so much

[@malehabakhshi9797]

Heya Jimbo, not sure if you have covered this earlier so apologies in advance for making you repeat yourself but if we are turning left or right at the traffic light, which lane are we meant to take first? Assuming there are no oncoming cars and all lanes are clear can we take any lane? Sorry its abit of a dumb question. Thanks :)

[@thedrivingtestguynsw8424]

Hi Meleha if you are in a single turning lane then you can "lane jump" directly to any lane.

[@thindamarinder3435]

at 3.55 time of the video, we can see a green left arrow and STOP board, do one need to stop because of the stop sign? Or it's applicable only in the case of pedestrians. Considering I am the first one to approach the left arrow green light... when I was few meters back from the intersection ( i mean no one is ahead of me and also I find that light is green).

[@thedrivingtestguynsw8424]

Hi Thind i explain the stopsign with the 3 black dots at 7:09. Check that out. Basically the stop sign is only relevant if the lights are not working and then the intersection becomes a stop sign cross street. So dont stop if its a green to go.

[@thindamarinder3435]

@@thedrivingtestguynsw8424 Thanks for your quick reply and information. Sometimes in a similar intersection, there are two solid lines (before the pedestrian path), in a similar situation as I asked above, those solid lines will be treated as STOP (as written in some documents)? or one need to stop only if there are pedestrians.

[@thedrivingtestguynsw8424]

@@thindamarinder3435 Hi Thind those 2 solid lines are just marking out the pedestrian crossing. They don't require you to stop at them. You stop when the light is red at the first line. When it is green and no one is running a red or jay walkers you just go.

I am a little bit confused now, here in Adelaide, we have some turning left with a sign say turn left on red light permitted ,turn left with care with arrow,then the one without any sign ,for the one without any sign,can I still turn left with red light?

No not with that one. The light must be green.

Hi Jimbo I have 1 last question: I know coasting can fail me( did once ) however will below be ok in the test?- 1- not the first one in the queue when waiting for red light, can I clutch down then put on neutral ? 2- both sides parked cars, narrow road, I need to be super slow, so I use clutch on and off + break to maintain speed? Thank you so much

[@thedrivingtestguynsw8424]

Hi Aimee 1. Yes you can put in neutral while waiting at a red light. Don't roll along in neutral though. 2. If your speed is below 5km/h (very slow) then you can keep the clutch in and roll.

Hello Jimbo, if there is a bicycle lane on the left and a cyclist in it going straight ahead and I need to turn left, who gives way to who?

You give way to the bike.

[@27sianaauaa76]

I drive a Holden commodore 2001 and I want to use it on my test, but the indicators won’t let me signal off the roundabout, I checked if my indicators were stuffed but my mechanic said these older cars won’t let u use the indicator mid turn, it automatically shuts off, does this mean I can’t use it for my test?

[@thedrivingtestguynsw8424]

Hi 27 Siana Auaa. This is a strange situation. Ive never known any car unable to signal when exiting the roundabout. If you physically cannot signal out the roundabout then yes that will be a problem. If you can somehow get them to flash at least 1 or 2 flashes then you will get away with that.

[@shubhamgautam8432]

I’m using my friend car for test, will I get point deduction if I race accelerate a bit more, happening because not use to of that car ? Especially when moving car from a stop point

[@thedrivingtestguynsw8424]

Hi Shubham if you over rev or accelerate too hard you most probably will get a circle error in the control column code "eco driving". The odd time wont be a problem unless you do it alot. If you get a chance to take that car for a drive before the test that might give you a chance to be familiar with it.

I have a question about kerbstop. When the examiner asks to do a kerbstop is there a certain limit of distance you can drive before completing the manoeuvre?

[@thedrivingtestguynsw8424]

Hi Maree there is no limit of distance. You don't want to just hook it in though. Make sure you sufficiently signal and do checks before you pull in. Obviously you don't have unlimited space so try and get it done before there is no more room.

[@deana777]

In some cases, they’ll tell you to kerb stop after a specific car. They’ll be a certain distance then another car, so they’d expect you to do the stop somewhere in between before the next intersection. Sometimes there’s only really one suitable spot to stop, I did my test today and I was specially asked to “stop after the red car just under that tree” Assuming there’s not a lot of cars and a lot of free space, there should be no limit on distance you can drive :) Hope this helps
