Hi Jimbo, thanks a lot for all your videos on how to pass. Your elaborate description for each scenario prepared me for all kinds of driving situations. I passed it on the 1st Go from Merrylands scoring 105 out of 108. You might have realized by now how much help your videos have had been for all of us. Thanks again.

How mate as I said in the video you have to work that out yourself with experience. It all depends on how fast you are going. The faster you are going the more space you need.

Hey Jimbo Wish I was here to say I passed first go But hopefully next time haha I did have a question My score would of been great But I failed by when doing some of my right turns I used one hand on the inner steering wheel Instead or criss crossing your arms over I had two hands on my steering wheel, turn was fine but one hand was on the outside and one must of been face down on the inner through out the turn I actually didn't know I was doing it lol But did u have a video where u demonstrate that or if u had any tips or answers Be much appreciated 😊

[@viralshah5348]

Hi Jimbo, in my test I had a peculiar issue of a very narrow lane with cars parked on both sides on and off - no road markings. The issue I had was that to continue driving I had to keep it in the middle most of the time where only 1 car could pass. When I had to take a right turn at the end of the street onto a larger street, I kept the car in the middle, and I had a fail item there. So even though I had to turn right, the lane was so narrow that I was expected to move to the left before turning right!! Do you have any more pointers on very narrow roads?

[@Mariana.sofiaaa]

Hi Jimbo, this isn’t part of the test but I was wondering if you could do a video on how to merge into the freeway/highway? And the different scenarios, also do you always need to match the new speed limit quickly when merging into the freeway/highway ?what if theres a lot of cars? Or what if they don’t move or give you enough space for you to merge in? Thank you

Hey Jimbo Can you please make two videos on how to do reverse 90 degree park and reverse 45 degree angle park, as I never learned how to do both thanks

[@thedrivingtestguynsw8424]

@@jacobycai3209 Hi mate I do plan to do such videos and I did once attempt a reverse 45 deg Park video. This issues are time and being The Driving Test Guy, such parks are not on the test so I tend to only do videos relevant to the NSE driving test. Also such manoeuvres actually require steering skills awareness that you dont get from watching a video. You need to drive and reverse for hours and it comes naturally. It's like this video the yellow light one. You need experience to judge when you have or have not enough room to stop comfortably at a yellow light. Watching a video doesn't give you that. Alot people want the easy fix "watch it on tik Tok" but some things you have to actually put time in to accomplish. Reverse angle parking is one of them. I would suggest actually go out and attempt such a park 100 times. By the time you get to the 100th you won't need a video.

[@SkylahGoodwin]

Hey jimbo When does the test time start, do you check car within test time and on average how long are they

[@julianmcc9436]

I dont really know what you mean by test time start, im just going to assume you mean when do they start marking you, usually just starts as soon as the instructor gets in the car and the engine turns on. They check the car before the test, average time for a test is approximately 30-35 mins. Obviously it could take you less depending on the traffic conditions.
