[@GetDriving]

You got this!🙌

[@aemvisuals]

Same bro

[@rustyjones1475]

I've got this

[@OfficialJordiCM]

In the same boat

[@mimangela4872]

Did it work for u

[@gamingvidzz9549]

These videos are so underrated you are such a good instructor. Thank you Francis

[@jenfleming5162]

Passed my test this morning. Just came to say thanks, your videos really helped me!!

[@GetDriving]

Congratulations!!!!

[@ellio1623]

This needs more views and you need more subs. This is quality information.

[@lovesax12]

Bro your videos are unique. Your the only instructor that uses a lot of graphics while demonstrating key points on the road. Keep it up

[@CheesybiscuitStudios]

This is something I've been struggling with ever since I've started learning how to drive. For a learner, I feel like I'm a talented driver. I can operate the vehicle very well, I know a lot about cornering theory (for example), special manoeuvres I can do in one go most of the time. But I actually failed my second driving exam this Monday because of this. The struggle is not knowing that I have to do this or that this is something that I need to pay attention to. It's that when something unexpected happens, autism/AD(H)D kicks in and awareness becomes a tertiary priority. Now this is definitely fixable, as is anything you struggle with while driving. I just don't really know how, other than just practice a lot.

[@tyronjade7171]

I definitely have the same problem. Its hard to get out of your head and stay focused on the situation ahead of you. Its been 3 months have you passed the driving test?

[@CheesybiscuitStudios]

@@tyronjade7171 my driving test is due on the 23rd, as it stands now I am improving but getting "too comfortable" behind the wheel so I tend to kind of zone out like I've been driving for 2 years already. That's not necessarily bad, quite logical actually as I have been driving a car for two years already. Now back to the dividing your attention and recouperating from a fault, I think it's all down to knowing what to look for so you can anticipate it earlier and not being afraid to check one more time just to be sure. If you make a mistake, breathe in and out and just drive like you normally would.

[@itsummAbdullah]

@ Joris Zijlemans hope you passed by this time.

[@CheesybiscuitStudios]

Hello everyone, it is to my pleasure to announce that I passed my exam with only two minors. Couldn't be happier.

[@dripdrip08]

I know my adhd is definitely the thing fucking it up for me - feels like i'm fighting against myself smh

[@UKDrivingTest]

4:18 - Having to stop talking as dealing with the developing hazards, the sign of a good driver! i.e. being able to manage and deal with distractions such as talking.

[@raziyakhatri1380]

Hi sir,I watched your video one day before my test I was week in awareness and planning. I tried this method and I passed it helped a lot to recognize the hazards and make my next plan to deal with it and I passed with one minor. Thank you so much for this video.

[@funactivitiesforkids917]

Wow this video is AMAZING! Cudnt find all this info in just 1 video ever b4, been reaching n wasting my time go thru so many other ppl's video on KZbin but this was everything in 1video and full on ideas n knowledge. A BIG thank u for this video full of knowledge and keep up the good work :)

[@GetDriving]

We are happy to her that it helped🙌

[@jonplukehughes2807]

This is something I've had an issue with on my lessons, your video has helped me thankyou

[@rachelberkoff]

I’ve used your videos so much! Thank you, they are so useful. Animations on the road really help too. So well put together and I’m really grateful! Xxx

[@LeeBayliss98]

I passed my theory test recently. Won't be long before lessons now 😁

[@Dr_Al-Hashemi]

I've been driving sport cars for 18 years and I find your videos really valuable. Driving in the UK is different to driving anywhere else in the world, and I feel you've reached that mastery level which allows you to produce such useful videos. I've had 2 accident 2 months apart in 2 different cars and on both occasions I was not at fault. Sadly I've still had to go through all that trauma. I wish there was a way of anticipating when a randomer on the road is just going to sway into you out of the blue, or when a lorry decides to reverse blindly. Keep the videos coming please

[@sebasdionyounow269]

the one thing that’s holding me back has been planning and this was so helpful

[@jakezxz1352]

Damn that bit about the field of view really hit home for me for some reason - Ive gotten much better at planning and anticipation but I still stutter when things get busy like in city centres, great way to explain why it's important and the benefits, thanks!

[@Soul.Heart.Mind.]

Thank you so much for this, it’s so helpful, I’ve been driving for a bit, but planning ahead is an area i need to work on. This is so clear and helpful.

[@shabanakhan-iy8ms]

Thank you. I'm really struggling with awareness and planning at the moment.

[@julesc9875]

Hi! I just wanted to thank you for this video, I watched it a few days before my driving test, I've taken like 100 hours of lessons and no one ever gave me such a practical advice, and today I've passed my test ..your advise about breaking the test by bits, focusing and talking to yourself, looking as far as you can and planning backwards made such a difference! Thanks Francis, your content has truly helped me!

[@stevethomas74]

Hey man, I just stumbled across this video / your channel as I'm already subbed to a few driving school channels but I always like finding anymore that I feel do a great job of helping to teach people. I'm an Intermediate driver at this point and this is one of the best videos I've come across with regards to anticipating and planning. Keep up the good work! :)

[@michellehawkins20]

Thankyou so much for your videos Francis everyone you have uploaded has helped me with my learning journey your a true legend ☺️👍

[@pawel9295]

This channel was actually recommended to me by my driving instructor, so it has to be good ;) great stuff, thanks a lot

[@letsdoittogether1940]

Really a good idea,keeping a good distance from the car in front really helps getting ready for any hazard,thanks a lot. That is exactly what I was looking for.

[@mexicofeb2008]

Taking my test in Ireland this week and watched loads of these videos recommended by instructor but found yours by accident and think it will really help me to do well in test thank you

[@Jempikz]

Best driving instructor ever, helped me so much towards my test! ✅

[@Jamindian9T2]

Thank you for sharing this video Francis. My instructor has told me that I need to work on my planning ahead and anticipation whilst I'm driving, this video has been very helpful!

[@danwarner7816]

Great vid, is always something in which my instructor tells me is anticipate ahead and use the mirrors. More do this, he say the more I feel alright and relaxed. 👍

[@nordindian]

[@shababaltaf7875]

Hi just passed my test, one of the most important videos in helping me pass.

[@allandsouza7221]

I have seen so many driving lessons on KZbin but non of them explain so good as you do.👍

[@GetDriving]

Thanks for the feedback Allan 😊

[@piko3058]

I'm new to driving and I live in Thailand. The roads and drivers here is on next level.

[@wagma5120]

Helpful lessons thanks a lot

[@negassiggiorgis2608]

You are excellent instructor

[@yekuang5774]

Great videos! Really helpful! I have a problem with assessing spatial awareness on the road, such as how far I am away from left or right lanes. I think I spent too much time concerning these so my planning is not good.

[@farzanehsharafi8634]

Thank you for such usuful videos. You are good at what you are doing.

[@ZYXPQI]

Best meeting situation and forward planning video with lots of examples.

[@GetDriving]

Glad you liked it!

[@leahx3397]

Thank you for this Francis - planning and anticipation is my weak spot but your explaining is spot on !

[@GetDriving]

Glad it was helpful!

[@happinessparagon5269]

I enjoy arching your videos, there are very helpful

[@SyedAhmed-el5dc]

Slow down bro, let me write this down, this stuff is gold! 🏅

[@nickcolebey3305]

Excellent video explains the subject really well thanks 😊

[@katariinaaho5784]

Thankyou for taking the time and effort to make this video. It was useful and opening to watch how you drive and comment what you're doing at the same time. I've taken the test now twice and my weak spots are: planning, anticipating and doing things early enough :D If you happen to have any tips for "home work" (practicing between driving lessons, elsewhere than in the car cause I dont have own car) then that would be nice and useful :) Have a nice day. - Katariina from Finland

Thank you for another great video. Could you please upload/direct us to a video on staying within our lane. I’m having trouble after over a 100 hours private practice and professional lessons.😬 It’s more obvious on high speed situations (dual carriageway- especially when glancing at the mirror looking at merging traffic ).

Can you do a 📹 on on lane change 🤔, an backing out of a parking spot, where do you turn the steering wheel, after clearing the other cars beside you bumper

Excellent tutorial Francis. Where is the link for hazard perception?

Merci infiniment.

[@shuaibtariq]

Amazing video just had lesson instructor said driving is good it's just my observation is poor another issue I have is I tend to go on auto milot mode especially when going on a straight road I need help with that

[@deebahussain1724]

Hi just came across your video it's really gd, iv gt my check test nxt week and I. Very nervous, I was planning on doing awareness and planning, but a trainer has suggested to do junctions speed on approach, any tips or suggestions im really confusedat the moment

[@yuminchen6146]

When turning into a new road that has an obstruction (a parked car), would you tell your students to try to still always turn into your own lane first, then move out, or is it ok to directly turn into the other side of the road to show your early anticipation? What if there's a continuous white line in the center at the beginning of the road? Would this qualify as an exception because I want to avoid an obstruction ahead?

[@paullearnourway]

Good morning Francis, would you mind if I show your video to my customers. I will give you a clear mention to look art other videos you have created if this helps?

[@meiko4303]

The video is very useful. After watching this video, I tried to look far ahead down the road, then I can plan much better. I would like to know when there is a cyclist in front of me, how should I overtake him. I always misjudged the gap I need to overtake the cyclist and missed the chance. Is there any video on overtaking a cyclist? Thanks a lot.

[@ryanghand6330]

👏👏👏👏👏

Hi. Can you please help me with how to manage your part 3 test. Thanks Sobia

Happy to hear it :)

[@nordindian]

For example you are driving at 50KMPH and approaching a roundabout or a crossing, you see there are some cars in the roundabout, within how many metres do you slow down so that you wouldnt have to stop at the entry to roundabout ?

[@letsdoittogether1940]

👍

[@TheShift_OfEnergy]

hello, I have my first test coming soon. My instructor tells me to plan ahead better. Can you please give me some tips. How to look far enough forward to anticipate and how still see things that are near me - lane lines, signs hazards.etc. are there any front view scanning tips n tricks? Thank you, Ela

[@Abzmanga]

Can you teach me how to give space for other cars and know the angles of passing tight areas

[@jasonr2226]

Did you find a decent video on this?
