Hi Jimbo, I just passed my driving test in Marrickville. I just wanted to thank you for all the videos you made they were super educational and it helped me out a lot during my tests! I went over your mock tests videos and intersection videos multiple times to check how each person handles intersections with vehicles blocking your view, because I had previous trouble with giving way while my view was obstructed. I will definitely buy you a coffee for your hard work and continue to support you through watching your videos in the future! Truly appreciate it.

[@merc.]

Hey jimbo, I went for my test yesterday and got two fail items one because someone had pulled in front of me in a busy road with no signal not my fault but I’m not upset about it, and I was apparently not doing frequent headchecks, but I was headchecking almost everything, he said someone about headchecking to the left when it should be right sometimes but I’m not too sure why, could you possibly help me understand? Other than that I scored 107 so on my next attempt I should hopefully ace it, my parking was fine, he told me he was very happy with how I identified I was too late to change lanes at the round about and could no go right because of the unbroken line

[@thedrivingtestguynsw8424]

Hi there sorry to hear you didnt qualify. In relation to the person that pulled out, unfortunately even though it wasnt your fault, part of the driving test is to see if you can respond to hazards that are outside of your control. This is what will happen in real life so thats what they are testing. Alot of tests dont actually have random hazards happen so that testing applicant gets an easy test. Its just how it is. So work on hazards, keep the space with cars you are following and check side to side and pre empt hazards that may be hidden like behind a parked truck. With the head checks, you may have been head checking everywhere just not the places that are marked. It only takes 3 missed head check to give you the F19 fail. So may have to be more particular where you are head checking. Hopefully next time all will be well. Best of luck :)

[@bestrong5044]

Jimbo, will you be doing any mock tests in Merrylands RTA? It is in Stocklands shopping centre in merrylands. Thanks!

[@thedrivingtestguynsw8424]

If someone sends me the routes and I have some time then I can do mock test videos of these areas. I won't be offering conducted mock test due to the travel distance.

[@senhuiguo]

Hi Jimbo, what are the things that will fail you if you use them in a test? I know bluetooth audio is off limit, but what about cruise control or other stuff.

[@thedrivingtestguynsw8424]

You can't touch your phone at all. You can refer to your reverse camera. I don't know of any case where someone used cruise control on a driving test. I don't know why you would. Cruise control is more driving on faster roads where you are not stopping regularly such as freeways. Not real practical for a driving test. What else did you want to use ?

[@senhuiguo]

@@thedrivingtestguynsw8424 Nowadays, they have, like, radar cruise that can adaptively stay behind the car in front of you, and automatically keep a 3 second gap. And also, I feel like I can use it to manage my speed more easily. You accelerate to the speed you want, like 40 or 50, press set to freeze it, and you can forget about the acceleration pedal and just focus on the brake. I feel I'd have a smaller chance of speeding with cruise control. I'm not certain about it because I haven't practiced using it excessively.

[@thedrivingtestguynsw8424]

I don't know the answer whether you could use a radar cruise control. You got to understand that a driving test is to test whether you can drive or not. That includes managing speed and 3 sec gap. So on that point I would guess that radar cruise control would not be allowed for a driving test. Just like you couldn't bring an autonomous driving car to do everything for you while you just sat there.

[@DollySequeira]

Thank you 🙏

[@ridhigeorge2056]

Do we need to do both side head checks when turning right or left from a signal?

[@doloreszancarini7603]

Hey Jimbo, thank you for your videos. Unfortunately I haven’t pass my test and I have a question about the feedbacks. My testing officer said that I failed because: 1: I didn’t left the gear on + the hand brake when I parked ( I did only the handbrake) and in the last parking the car roll just a few cm and I realised that the hand brake was not fully up and I corrected it literally in within a seconds and secondly before I got to the intersection/stop I put my car in neutral while is still in motion ( less than a meter) because otherwise my manual car couldn’t make it in a really low gear till the end and she said that is bad habit which I can understand but is a reason to fail? And I also asked if can take notes about what she was saying and she saying that she wrote down and when I check not any of the things that she said to me where in the sheet.. only noun as “not control of the vehicle”

[@thedrivingtestguynsw8424]

Hi mate sorry you didn't pass. Yes in manual make sure the handbrake is tight when parking and finish in 1ST. If you finish in 1st the car won't roll if the handbrake is not right. Also rolling in neutral will give you an F8 (not in control). You actually were in control but they deem rolling in neutral not in control and give you a F8. Sux. When you slow down , shift down and bring the clutch up each time. If you are coming to a stop leave 2nd in as long as you can and then just before stopping put the clutch in and leave down and put into 1ST. I will do a video on manual sometime this year.
