ADI Part 2 & FUEL EFFICIENT DRIVING (Eco Safe Driving)

[@zamzamchoudhury9906]

Hi howard I would like to say thank you sk much for all of your videos they REALLY helped me passed today on my part 3 exam More that my ordit trainer have given me So thank you so much i have learnt more that ever just watching and making notes

[@m.a5234]

Just had my part 2 test on 21st April and passed first time 😍. Yes I did get a minor for not using cruise control

[@How-2-drive]

Wow! I’m surprised by that

[@m.a5234]

@@How-2-drive the examiner was quite harsh on me tbh, also got a minor for someone else's mistake. They pulled up infront of me on the left hand lane of a motorway just before my exist which resulted into less then 2sec gap. Obviously I couldn't break as that will result into everyone breaking behind me.

[@ianhills1134]

Thank you Howard ,love the demonstration 👍

[@How-2-drive]

Very welcome

[@erum8979]

Thank you, your videos are invaluable they have really helped me through my first two ADI tests 😁👏🏽

[@How-2-drive]

Thanks for watching

[@sjb9272]

Your vids are such a fab resource. Thanks for your hard work ! Best, Steve

[@NaheedaBegum-s7j]

10:14 second gear because it’s 20 Question if it was 30 would 3rd be better?

[@joannemoore9402]

Great video as always Howard. Very helpful, thank you

[@azrajavied199]

Hi Howard, Thank you for another Great video. Howard can you please do a video on the types of questions we should ask & the correct wording we should use eg, what, where, when, who, why & how I’m quite stuck with how & when to use them so am requesting to you if you can make a video I’d sincerely appreciate it.

[@chrissiepeters5493]

Thank you Howard for this great video. A couple of questions on Part 2 in an automatic, if I may. For cars that turn off when stopping, does that mean we need to allow them to do that during the test or, as long as we follow the other tips you've mentioned in the video, we should get it away with it? Furthermore, I thought that the examiners would mark us down for not using the cruise control. DVSA is making Part 2 more complicated now with this Eco Safe Driving and the minors allowed are still only 6. Less room for errors. Anything else you suggest to keep an eye on during the test in an auto? Thank you so much :)

[@sallynorcup2108]

I'm so pleased to say this is what I learnt, much of which i picked up from your videos & a little with my trainer, this is how I now drive & this is what I teach 💯👌

[@SultanaAhmed-d7h]

thank you for your videos are helping me getting ready for my ADI part 2. just wanted to find out if I'm allowed to request for examiner to change the test route if he takes me to a route I don't like?

[@ahsan12330]

Thanks for your videos, will I get a minor or serious for not doing eco friendly driving?

[@How-2-drive]

Just a minor for either control or planning

[@ahsan12330]

@@How-2-drive really helpful thank you.

When I get onto a fast road, I use cruise control for one main reason - Emergency braking response time. As soon as my CC is set, I cover the brake with my foot and I trim my speed using the CC control. If I want "engine braking" (I put that in quotes because I drive a PHEV, so I have six selectable levels of regen rather than actual engine-braking), I hit the "cancel" button and use the paddles (which change the regen level) to trim my deceleration. As soon as I want to get back up to normal road-speed, I simply hit "resume". What are your thoughts on this?

[@How-2-drive]

Hey, sounds good

[@roughygee]

I noticed you did a quick blind spot check when moving off from the traffic lights around the 6.28 mark. Is this a requirement? I know it counts as moving off , just not sure if it's also to be done during traffic stops .

[@How-2-drive]

I just wanted to make sure a cyclist wasn’t sitting in my blind spot before I moved off, that’s all

[@t.m3070]

One question , if I get my car for test part 2 , do I need to inform my insurance or does insurance automatically covers the test ?

[@How-2-drive]

You should check with your insurance company

[@Dara-jz9hl]

Does Adi part 2 have to be taken in a manual driven car?

[@How-2-drive]

No you can use automatic too

[@Kristian864]

5.53 did the driver opposite waved him across by any chance just looking at the pedestrians body language looked like he was running quickly across that could explain why perhaps ?

[@pcd3475]

thanks for this video sir, very very usefull god bless you sir,

[@dospalmascb]

interesting video. im taking my part 2 in a nissan epower. technically its a petrol generator with electric motors driving the vehicle. It also has an Epedal, which is the option to use the gas pedal only, as you lift off the gas pedal the car uses the electric motors to brake and regenerate electricity and recharge the battery. it aslo has B mode that means the moment yoy press the brake you get enhanched regen and 50%more braking. I wonder if the DVSA are savvy enough to comprehend the technology? also as the driver has 0 input or controll of the engines RPM which can suddenly start revving to ensure the battery has enough power. oh and then we have the eectric power steering that doesnt require the engine to be running to operate, making show me tell me awkward. oh and on that subject it has 2 coolant reservoirs, one engine, one inverter lol. my part2 is going to be fun, did i mention its in a city i dont know well lol.....

[@martynlewis9020]

A question to any ADI’s out there. I have my part 2 test coming up soon, at home I have a hybrid car with an automatic gearbox and a Vauxhall Vivaro crew cab van with a manual gearbox, the van was for my previous self employment as a gas engineer. I know that I cannot use the van for the part 2 test as it doesn’t have a back window. So can I use my car? My part 2 trainer (with Red) says that I can but surely I will need to be observed using a manual gearbox (block changing etc). Any advice would be appreciated.

[@deanisaac8383]

Can you do a adi part 2 in a automatic car

[@DsouzaDrivingSchool]

Yes..you certainly can.

[@mikewilton4872]

12:55 Obviously harder to tell distance/speed watching the video but could you not have comfortably made it onto the roundabout before the white Insignia? Surely the whole point of picking a suitable speed and gear before the roundabout is so you can proceed into the gaps more readily?

[@RyanSmith-ci2mo]

At 13:50 when overtaking the white car is there a reason you didn't indicate, unless I've missed it. It was my understanding to always indicate when overtaking even if there isn't a vehicle behind?

[@RyanSmith-ci2mo]

Again at 14:55

[@MNS304]

Will it fault in ADI part 2 test if we go straight from 6th gear to 2nd gear? On the Rondabot?

[@How-2-drive]

No, you’re supposed to use the brakes to slow, then select an appropriate gear for that speed. One hazard, one gear is best

[@MNS304]

@@How-2-drive thank you

[@rebeccasandom6642]

Great video ! I have a just 2 questions , I have my adi part 2 soon and my start stop function does not hardly activate, will this be an issue, also my car does not have cruise control, will my examiner ask me this ? Thank you .

[@How-2-drive]

Thank you! If your car doesn’t have cruise control you will not be asked to use it. The stop/start function does not always activate, for example if your using the AC or the battery charge is low, this is not a driving fault. Read DES for tips on fuel efficient driving.

[@rebeccasandom6642]

@@How-2-drive thank you !!

[@t.m3070]

I have cruise control in my car but does not work , can I still use the car for test ?

[@araza8313]

Why aren’t you driving on left side just a question?

[@How-2-drive]

Using all the road for smoothness. Roadcraft uses SVS when positioning. So it must position Safely, position for Vision and Stability. A wider position as long as it’s safe will open our view through the corner and get the smoothest part of the road avoiding all the bumps in the gutter

[@hassanh5536]

Hi I'm trying to book a test for part 2 but not having any luck. There's no dates available. Any ideas on what I can do?

[@How-2-drive]

You need to go on the holding list. You pay and then the DVSA will arrange a date for you.

[@m.a5234]

Pay for it upfront and go on hold. as soon a date becomes available your automatically booked

[@KarimKarim-od9tw]

Hi dear, Thank you so much nice video Where are you based I am on part 2 ADI test I am in south-west London
