Passed my my driving test 40 years ago and up until this year I had never had a accident. I was cut up and rammed at a roundabout from a highway maintenance vehicle that didn’t stop. This totally crushed my confidence and made me feel like giving up driving all together.Watching your videos has been like going on a refresher course . Thoroughly enjoyed all of your videos. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who has lost a bit of confidence.

[@chethanageeshan10]

I passed my driving test today with 4 minors. When I’m practicing with my instructor I had been watching these videos and got more knowledge and used it when I’m practicing. You’re really brilliant!!!. If someone has their test soon, don’t be panic, try to watch all of these videos you can easily pass the test. Don’t be panic at test time, try to talk with examiner what are you doing, why are you slowing down and be a positive mind every time.Thank you so much,I really appreciate your support.

[@peterlewis3540]

I passed my test back in 1981, and the more you drive, the more proficient you will become as a driver. Sitting your driving test, has to be one of the most nerve wracking experience your likely to face. Staying calm and focussed, is extremely challenging, your desperate to pass your test, and if you pass, its a most uplifting experience, like a weight has been removed from your shoulders. Being told you have not come up to the required standard, is like knowing you have accidentally left that winning lottery ticket in the washing machine, and seeing the cycle wizzing round. Passing your test today, is a lot more difficult than it was forty years ago, as back then you had no theory test, just the driving test. Still your a bag of nerves when your trying to stay focussed, with a total stranger analysing your every move and gesture

[@makerepairbin]

I did my test in 1978 I was really nervous. 5 minutes into my test I had to pull out of a difficult junction (in a 30 limit zone) that had limited visibility, I inched out into the road and as I pulled out a car came from the left at about 50mph I had not alternative but to floor it and smoke the tyres to get out of the way of the car from the left. From this moment I thought I had failed the test and carried on. At the end of the test the examiner asked me how I thought I had done. I told him I know I have failed because of what happened at the junction. He replied No you have passed if you had touched your brakes I would have been in hospital at best, and you would have failed I recommend you take your advanced test.

1978, when everyone was getting high or getting an std

[@SmileyEmoji42]

I worry that you are just validating the crazy "accelerate out of trouble" brigade. You need to clarify that you were turning right - I've seen too many drivers accelarate TOWARDS oncoming cars to get into a closing gap when overtaking.

[@eboasmah1882]

You are good man. Your tutorials have really helped me brother.

[@bluceree7312]

Just fyi, I got a minor for 'Progress - Appropriate Speed' and I was not going slow. In fact, as soon as I finished, the examiner quipped that I was Lewis Hamilton because I was going so fast during the test (but stayed within the legal limit) which he does not see often (I am an experienced driver). What I'm saying is that the testing criteria are for the most part standardised, but there is a somewhat large amount of discretion the examiners have. Also as you explained the definitions are not the same for everyone. I would say up to 15% of the mark is discretionary which can fail you even if you know how to drive. PS: you might ask why am I still watching these videos after I passed? well, YT recommends them and I like the content.

One story I had on my first test (I'm in Clacton very close to Colchester) I was almost failed for not getting up to speed fast enough on a national speed limit road (I actually failed for clipping the outer curb on a roundabout on the same road), on that road I think I was doing 40 which of course is not right and luckily within that failure I was able to correct this issue but in combination of clipping a curb out of nerves and the speed looking back I was not ready for that test, it's important for anyone waiting to take their test Todo it when your ready and more importantly when your instructor is ready, Thank you Richard for this video even for a driver who past their test month's ago now these still help to improve my own driving

On my pre test 10 years ago I had to drive the test route with my instructor, which took me down a road exactly like the road you went down.

I got a minor on my test for doing 30 in a 40. We emerged from a side road and I must have missed the sign. Examiner let me drive for a bit and then asked if I was aware it was a 40. I said thank you and brought my speed up. I definitely think there's something to be said for it's better to be too slow than too fast. I'd have much rather got that minor for 30 in a 40, than a major/serious for 40 in a 30!

I still remember my first day behind the wheel, back in California aged 15 (almost 60 years ago) and after about 10 minutes in the school car park having to turn left into a relatively major road with a speed limit of 40mph [just checked on Google maps to confirm]. As soon as I'd completed the turn, my instructor told me I must get up to speed and not impede other vehicles by driving too slowly 🙂 I also remember my first day driving after returning to the UK in 1973; I bought a [cheap!] Ford Anglia and had to drive it back to my grandmother's house from Colchester to Copford - I knew the route as I'd ridden along it multiple times...but I hadn't noticed part of it went through a 'bus only' junction LOL - oops! - I was lucky and wasn't stopped and got back safely. I did pass my California driving test, my UK driving test, and my UK motorcycle test, all on the first attempt.

[@dansheppard2965]

I have a speed question for a van which I've not seen addressed anywhere. I know the van limits are lower for many classes of road. I was told that the limit for built-up areas was 30 (like cars). I don't know how that interacts with signed speed limits, though, if it's different to the case with cars. If I'm in a built up area and there's a 40 or 50 posted, can I go at that speed, like in a car? I thought that would be common sense, but I notice that for HGVs (which I'm not driving!) there's a limit of 40 for single lane roads outside built-up areas. Some of those are signed 50 and I suppose the HGV still have to go only 40 in them? This weird HGV limit has now confused me as to how I should be interpreting the rest of the chart for other vehicle types. So (other than cars, which I understand) in what circumstances/vehicles do you travel at: a. the limit given for the vehicle type EXCEPT where the sign gives an explicit speed vs; b. the LOWER of the vehicle limit and the signed speed?

[@ConquerDriving]

This link may help: www.gov.uk/speed-limits

[@ThePlacehole]

To make complete beginners worry about constantly staying within 2mph of the speed limit is counterproductive and dangerous. There are so many things to worry about when driving, but the difference from the posted speed is never one of them. Your goal for speed is to stay safe by smoothly following the actual flow of traffic whenever possible. If you are in a queue of trucks and suddenly see the posted speed change from 50 to 35, is it your priority to slow down as soon as possible, or to match the speed and not cause an accident? Inappropriate speed is only a symptom, anyway. Stepping on the gas pedal of a slow driver is hardly going to make them better... The decision reduce the assessment someones ability requires to a checklist (and, even worse, to PUBLISH it), only demonstrates a complete lack of understanding of how to test.

[@akpanekpo6025]

I drove for many yrs in England before migrating to Canada (Ontario, to be specific). I've driven to New York a couple of times too. It's great to be reminded of driving standards in the UK, which are just incomparably higher than in North America. In Ontario (and I'm sure in other provinces too), you basically do as you wish, especially if you happen to be in front. I'm nor sure what they do for their tests, but it can't be very much because most of the familiar precautions in the UK (e.g., MSM, looking over your shoulder, not forcing others to take evasive action) are literally unknown here. You have to keep your eyes peeled (much more than in the UK) because someone is going to cut in without (and sometimes before) signalling. Oh, and you can drive or overtake in any lane, BTW. Moreover, people don't appreciate the basic courtesies that British drivers take for granted, such as not blocking people's entrances or "letting others in." They just don't seem to take road safety seriously here at all, and sometimes I can't help concluding that all you need to pass your test here are: aggression, impatience and recklessness. Which may explain why insurance for a modest car can be as high as CAD9000 per year for a new driver.

[@thorbjrnhellehaven5766]

I know examiners go by the speedo in Norway too, but I think they should consider the actual speed. Especially if the car is at the higher end of over-read. Then you are going significantly slower, and might cause annoyance provoking dangerous situations. I used to have a neighbor, insisting to drive indicated speed never faster than the speed limit, usually 5-10 km/h below or even slower. He refused to listen when people told him "but your car indikate almost 10% faster than your actual speed". That's what you get when there's rarely tickets for slow speed.

[@112chapters3]

I did my test in 2002 in a Mini Cooper sport X reg, 2001. Near the start on a 30mph dual carriage way (street lamps at whatever distance), he peered over at the speedo, commented on how it always seems faster in a mini. Then just chatted about life with me. This mini did 60 in 2nd gear. A girl I used to know shifted gear from 3to 5th while accelerating. I’ve crashed too many cars to remember! Not into other people. Much

When I took my test last week nearly all the national speed limit roads had roadworks so only had a few short areas to build my speed. I only got to 45mph but then had to slow for roadworks. Examiner said the awful roadworks were impacting on the tests.

[@hamsterama]

Here's a video suggestion. Could you perhaps someday make a video on how to use cruise control in a manual car? My 2020 Toyota Corolla comes with adaptive cruise control. I only used it once because I thought it was scary. Like, I felt that I couldn't control the car. The one time I used it was on a 70 mph divided highway (similar to the dual carriageway in this video). I was constantly afraid that if someone suddenly changed lanes right in front of me on the highway, my car would slow down so fast that it would stall. I don't know if that's a rational fear or not. So, when I go on long drives, I just drive with my foot on the gas, and no cruise control. I looked in the owner's manual that came with my car, but it's not particularly helpful. It just says how to turn the cruise control button on and off.

[@ConquerDriving]

Strangely enough I was driving a Suzuki Swace today which is the same as the Corolla and I really enjoyed the radar cruise control. It takes practise to get used to it but it can help driving be more relaxing. Make sure you're focusing on the road and all you need to do is press the brake to cancel the system.

@@ConquerDriving Fun fact: Suzuki left the US market 10 years ago, due to extremely low sales. But anyway, I looked up the Swace, and it is indeed a badge engineered Corolla. Thanks for the tip on how to use cruise control in this car! I'll try it out again. Seems I'll just need to really pay attention to what other drivers are doing. I'm glad to hear that cruise control can easily be cancelled by pressing the brake. So, if traffic suddenly slows down, or if someone suddenly cuts me off on the highway, it sounds like all I need to do is brake (to cancel cruise control), clutch down, then select the appropriate gear.

So you can use cruise. Because so many people say you can’t and I’ve even said they will terminate the test. As an experienced driver that has to take my UK test soon because my license was issued in Germany but it was an attachment to my US license. In my car I use cruise when I know the roads that I’m using. So it’s kinda confusing.

In Great Britain you can use cruise control and many other driving assistant systems. You cannot break the law and you cannot use self-parking systems on the practical driving test.

Great video thanks!

Here in the US we aren't allowed to use the cruise control on the driving test.
