Mock Driving Test - 2 Dangerous and 7 Serious Faults

Fancy failed her real driving test and wanted a mock driving test to see what help she needs and another opinion about her driving. There will be a follow up video coming soon where I help her with some of the faults from this test.

Passed my test after your massive help Richard. Thanks big time 🎉

[@ConquerDriving]

Thank you for taking part Fancy and giving others the opportunity to learn from your mock driving test. I wish you good luck on the road.

[@labradormcgraw]

That's great news, Fancy! Congratulations! 😃 Best of luck in your driving career. 👍

[@hablahei1]

Well done!

[@Fazer_600]

Congrats, take care on the road!

[@lernerleben]

Well done Fancy. I felt for you in this video!

[@mlx39996]

its incredible that she passed 10 days later, that's a lot of progress in a very short amount of time!

[@justsayin644]

Yes and there is no way she suddenly improved in all these areas of poor skill within 10 days. Just shows that you can scrape through the test with luck and a sympathetic biased examiner on the day and still be a very poor driver which im confident in saying that she still very likely is. There are thousands on our road just like her who in my opinion should have never been given a licence. She is an accident waiting to happen.

[@mlx39996]

@@justsayin644 no it doesnt "show" anything. u dont know how she did on her test, or how much she improved over those 10 days. some people pass after a week of intensive learning

[@m1997]

the mock test likely played a huge part in how much better she did in her real test too. it’s not just improvement but also applying the knowledge she already has better on her real test now that she’s done this mock. nerves too play a huge role in driving during the test.

[@justsayin644]

im in no doubt that she is still a poor driver, test passed or not i can tell ive encountered many just like her and with all the same signs.@@m1997

[@alexanderbrown8498]

​@@m1997 you are exactly right. I failed my mock test in the first few minutes (nervous mistakes that I never would have made in my lessons) and then passed my first real test 2 days later. If I hadn't done a mock, I probably would've failed the real test, because I wouldn't have learned from the mistakes made on the mock. This is EXACTLY what mock tests are for. They are a huge learning opportunity, and a way to get test nerves out of the way. It's wrong to assume Fancy got lucky on the test, 10 days is a long time to make big improvements.

[@oumsoumaya4050]

I just passed today with three minors and it's largely due to your videos! Thanks a ton Conquer Driving, you taught me much more than my own instructor did!

[@ConquerDriving]

[@Drew-Dastardly]

I think Richard should wear a mock fake moustache along with his hi-viz vest on these tests. At least that would remind me of my DSA examiner "No pass Jones" who I passed with first time.

[@annacichy780]

'No pass Jones' 🤣 that is hilarious. Congratulations 🎉

[@Drew-Dastardly]

@@annacichy780 He was well known in Liverpool at the time '96. A normal driving test would involve 1 manoeuvre. He made me do all 3; turn in the road, reverse into a side road from a major & parallel park. He made me do the parallel on a 40mph busy road. I think he hated me for my long hair. But he was such a stickler for rules he only got me on 3 minors. He ran out of time. It was only after the test my instructor was gobsmacked and informed me I passed with "No pass Jones". He didn't inform me before hand because it would destroy my confidence. (Family and friends all failed with this moustachioed autist box ticker)

[@StuAnderson90]

Maybe a Hitler tash just to add extra character 😂😂

[@Streamcatcher]

Make that a Charley Chaplin mustache then 😄

[@-Tidgy]

I can't take Richard's voice (or should I say Colin's) voice seriously when he puts on slightly more 'well spoken English' as the examiner 😂😂😂😂😂

[@barsorrro]

Wow! I loved the drive (BTW, I can't but jaw-droppedly admire the painstaking job of editing those videos, with all the commentary, slow-mo replays, on-screen texts, timestamps, etc., etc.) as always -- but I also loved the debrief, which you decided to include this time as well, Richard. It was obviously not as detailed as the remarks made in the video in postproduction, but it was really impressive how much both of you could remember of the drive. And it was lovely to see Fancy accept all those mistakes in good cheer. She's such a nice and conscientous, good-natured person! It was very clear that she had all the dilligence and the correct attitude there and that all she lacked was good training, proper routines, and some technique. Also, I think she wanted a little bit of extra self-confidence when doing the test, because she seemed quite nervous and even half-expectant of failure. Honestly, I think that her earlier instructor(s) were not the best. I'm so happy she managed to pass her exam soon after that mock test and after the lesson with Richard which came later! Well, it just goes to show what a good teacher can do for a good student!

[@KatyaZander]

Congratulations on passing your real test Fancy! 🎉 well done. And thank you Richard for the great videos.

[@sarahatherton7284]

Really interesting point about the clutch. I passed my test last week and in my instructors car I can lift the clutch find the bite and then add gas no problem (in reality I think I was adding the gas before it was fully lifted anyway)- but in my car (only a little KA) I was stalling a lot and I've now found that it's almost a simultaneous movement with gas and clutch and it's so much better - I'm hardly stalling at all now. It really does need that power.

[@CrazyInWeston]

The difference of Diesel vs Petrol. Many instructors choose Diesel because its more forgiving when pulling away, they have a more lower RPM torque and can pull a car much easier than a Petrol. Petrol cars really do need a little engine power added before releasing the clutch pedal.

[@eyybabyj1397]

Hearing the gear grinds is just absolutely painful. I sometimes do that because i always forget to push the clutch down enough to the floor. That was after i passed my test. That was 2 months ago. Even if i got my license i still suck. But now i got the hang of it. Always remember to push the clutch down enough to the floor. I'm from Malaysia btw. I've been watching a lot of videos from this channel and it has been helping me a lot and improve my driving. (Driving lessons here in Malaysia is far more different, and it's not better than Richard's teachings.) Thank you Richard for all your teaching and hardwork you put in your videos. Hats off mate! (My English is not that good but decent, i apologies if there are any errors in them.)

[@ConquerDriving]

Thank you for watching! I understand you clearly.

[@LS-ex9nn]

The interview at last works well. We learners actually often know where mistake was, however, the physical operations usually is a different story from what we have learned on our mind, or even on across our mind at the spot. This vedio demonstrates how reasonable the scores & assessments is comparing to the obvious images on the screen , as well as practice always makes better and better skills. Thanks a lot, Richard ❤ Thanks, Fancy, you are fantastic 🌹

OMG. I only watched the vedio no more than 20 minutes, I have realized how we learners easily and unintentionally ignore so many details if on the road. How much we have to pay more efforts to culture our ability to face the challenges coming from the dynamic environment at risks of dangers happened in less than one second, as any of such tiny details being carelessly missed out could be crucial. Skills is not enough, precision and timing are the keys to safety. Thank you so much, Richard ❤🌹 Thanks, Fancy⚘

[@illyriandescendant7963]

@@mladenenglangcome on mate, you can do it. Practice ad-nauseum all the areas where you have been marked with serious faults in the past, until you get them right. And make sure you're reasonably familiar with the area where the test is taking place. Always check your mirrors before signalling, it's crucial (M-S-M). Try to imagine the examiner as a passenger that you just picked up and taking him to a place he needs to get to. And make some small talk on the way. If that helps, play some music or radio in low volume during the test. Know that it's just a matter of time before you pass, and don't worry too much about that bit. Just go there with the intention to do a good decent and safe drive. Good luck! :)

[@villarule06]

The clutch method is a great point I've had to relearn, even after 15 years of driving. After years of driving diesel vans, 2L BMWs and a 3.5 v6 with lots of power and torque, I became very used to using just clutch for moving off. However, I got a 3 pot Nissan Micra for daily use last year and that is hopeless at pulling away with the clutch and has horrendous turbo lag. Its taken a while but getting the revs to a point where the turbo boost has built has proven very important for pulling away at junctions and roundabouts.

I failed my first attempt at driving test yesterday, the reason being interference from instructor because I went around a car that was parked partly into my lane and others were coming from the other side of the road. I am positively 100% sure that I had enough space to go through but they deemed it as serious/dabgerous mistake/situation and flunked me. Now I don't know what to do, I don't think my driving is bad at all but some decision making which is even worse of a problem. Anyways I hope I will pass next or some other tine and your videos are helping alot currently. P.s. Here in Serbia you can pass in first attempt if you're rich and bribe observer tho

I find the differences between what is important in South Africa and Britain. Any rolling back in South Africa is an immediate fail, regardless of distance or danger. They do the incline take off in a training area before allowing you on the road.

[@milesbashford2891]

Love video

[@GackFinder]

Don't know what the situation is in the UK, but in my country, it is not mandatory to take driving lessons with a professional instructor. You can learn to drive with a parent or a friend. I opted for lessons with a professional instructor all the way though, and I'm glad that I did, because I highly doubt that my parents or friends would be able to give any sort of unbiased, detailed, or even helpful advice like a professional instructor can.

[@Teverell]

I took my test in 2001, it's interesting to see how it's changed! (I had to do two out of the three possible reversing manoeuvres - parallel park and a 3-point turn - an emergency stop and a hill start, as well as the usual driving around. Angle start? New to me!! I had to take my trailer test four times - I was in the Army at the time, we had to have the trailer addition on the licence - and I got a serious on the reversing manoeuvre for that on my third attempt at the test. (Didn't even need to complete the driving portion I knew I'd messed it up so badly.) When the manager of the driving section (can't remember his actual title but he was the guy in charge of all the driver training at my base) asked who I wanted to be examined by on my fourth attempt, I asked for the guy who'd failed me twice, because I could do it, knew I could do it and now needed to prove it to him. Passed it on the fourth attempt, and haven't towed a trailer since! We called him 'The Mirrorman' because he absolutely would mark you down if you didn't check your mirrors every single time you changed direction. Safety, folks!!

[@gojeta1982]

[@Abby.]

“Colin’s” voice would put me off 😂

[@sprite1448]

Driving is so hard when you are learning and even when you had passed. Just because you have passed it doesn't mean you can do what you like on the road. Mirrors are so important to check! I failed my first test on a round about as someone flashed me to go and I just pulled out... There was another car coming around in the inside lane. But I did get another test and came out with a pass and NO miners! (At the beginning on the year) But even now I don't trust other people on the road. If you think it's not okay to go then its probably not a good idea. The driving instructors and the testers (well mine) honestly don't care. As long as you're not hesitating, they're more than happy to wait until you are happy to go. And questions on where to go. I was always asking where to go on my test. Oh and tip :) on most roads there and lines or indents where other cars have been over the years just follow them. That's how I know my road position was good. Good luck if you got your test soon and don't panic! If someone flashes you to go ALWAYS double check if it is safe to do so then to go.

[@mujeebsiddiqui634]

5:17 she also didn't check her right blindspot , is that not necessary or a minor/serious ? 🤔

[@WesTheHunter]

I originally booked my driving test for June 2023 unfortunately I had to cancel it as I wasn't able to complete my driving instructors required 2 Mocks before he'd let me take a proper test, Unfortunately I go to pieces when I'm being tested, I'm also quite stressed because I'll have to retake my Theory Test in March 2024, Its not that important its just a bit of an inconvenience but that doesn't change the fact I don't want to have to do it again. I've been doing mock tests now for 6+ months of weekly lessons and I'm just banging my head against the wall its really damaging to what little confidence I have, I know I can drive adequately and safely, I might even say better than a lot of people on the road who've passed their test but I just can't get a break, I blame the fact I have an anxiety disorder and knowing I'm being tested makes it awful.

[@mydogeatspuke]

I know it sounds obvious, but you need to keep out of your head. Just treat it like any other lesson, instead of a test. You put loads of pressure on yourself because of the high stakes of having to book again and the additional cost and it's just asking for trouble. Or, tell yourself you already failed for something stupid right at the start, then it won't matter either way as you still have to take the test, unless you crashed or something, and then when you pass it will be a surprise. I failed my first test because of nerves despite it being my best driving at the time then passed the second time with some of the worst driving I've ever done, to the point that I actually asked the examiner if he was sure he wanted to pass me. If your instructor isn't willing to let you take the test in his car, you can use a different one, you just need all the insurance stuff in place. As for your anxiety disorder, there are all kinds of medications your doctor can prescribe for you if it's severely impacting your life.

[@adelebrown1861]

Not sure if you've passed your test yet or not but if anxiety is what is making you make mistakes etc i would recommend going to a doctor to see if they can give you something for the test. I know people who failed simply because of anxiety and were given meds to help and they passed.

[@HellDuke-]

Are tests continued in the UK after failing on a serious or dangerous? I think my friend here had to hand over control after his fail. Also if you do not give gas before releasing the clutch in my car you stall fully 100% of the time. It is i possible for it to even move with just the clutch off in first

[@ConquerDriving]

Test will continue with serious or dangerous fault unless the examiner feels the need to terminate the test. Some cars require gas before moving away but not all.

[@loz2884]

Performance anxiety can make things seem worse. It's common to just completely freeze up and forget things and then it all just snowballs out of control and you make more and more mistakes.

[@richardprice7763]

As an instructor I've taken on pupils sometimes from other instructors who have taught them to find the clutch bite with their right foot on the brake while trying to move off... never understand this!

[@rufusgreenleaf2466]

A lot of instructors want the pupil to be in control and not roll back before taking the foot off the brake. Are you suggesting they use the handbrake instead? I'm struggling to follow what's not to understand. I'm not being salty, i'm just curiously asking 🙂

[@richardprice7763]

@rufusgreenleaf2466 it's far easier to find the clutch bite with the handbrake on compared to the footbrake, try it yourself! When the student gets more competent they will have the ability to jump off the footbrake and onto the gas while finding the bite on the clutch, just like an experienced driver would.

[@rufusgreenleaf2466]

@@richardprice7763 I've done both, in my lessons i was taught the handbrake method. I still use it to this day depending on how steep the gradient is. In my eyes handbrake is easier as you can properly reset your feet.

Thanks for making these videos! I passed my test a while ago here in the US, and would likely fail there in the UK. The city is very confusing for me, even here. Need to work on that. When I did my full driving test, I noticed something. You, and my tester both said "End of the road, left". Or "Next street, right". And at least to me I didn't understand what that meant so I just kept going. Didn't ask to turn left. Just said the word "left". Is that normal?

[@lockdot2]

I find it interesting, here it's fine to turn the signal on before checking the mirrors/blind spots. But there it isn't. I never look before signaling.

[@lockdot2]

Here in the US, when you turn left, we have green lights, or arrows. Green arrow means you do not need to worry about on-coming cars, you can just turn. (Unless someone is running a red light). But the green light means you need to wait for on-coming cars before turning left. As the on-coming cars go first. It's kind of a bad set up, as they end up getting a large line of cars waiting through several lights to turn left, due to a lot of on-coming cars. Either way, once every few months I forget, and just follow the cars turning in front of me, then slam on the brakes when I see a on-coming car approaching fast. Not very safe. Need to work on that, like making more steps to hopefully notice the light is Not an arrow.

[@lockdot2]

That is very impressive! I am happy Fancy passed her test so quickly!

[@adelebrown1861]

Yes so end of road left means go left at the end of the road etc, it is an instruction. Also in the uk you are taught "mirrors, signal, manoeuvre" which is the order you must do this in before changing position as a matter of safety.

[@lockdot2]

@@adelebrown1861 Yup! Like hand signals?

[@Asha-gf4mq]

Do you book mock test for anyone?? Really need one, your the most clear instructor I’ve come across

[@peteg8920]

Perhaps she should try with an automatic. You would have thought she would have mastered gear changes after forty lessons.

[@Drew-Dastardly]

I think it's 40 lessons exaggerated and from her family rather than a professional driving instructor. Otherwise there is no excuse, or she has been ripped off.

[@marszplays]

Lot of her problems weren’t gear related, mostly just poor observations or anticipation, she’d fail in an automatic nonetheless

I hated going up into 5th and beyond even after I passed. I drive an auto these days but not because of that.

[@DylanCoughlin]

Hey man, lovely video may i ask does stalling a car damage the cars engine?

[@rufusgreenleaf2466]

I'd say not really because the computer cuts the engine off, hence the stall. I suppose if you do it hundreds of times a day it might have some effect, eventually.

[@ConquerDriving]

Unlikely, but depending on how you stall you could put the clutch, engine mounts and transmission under strain.

[@Catherine-kt9jt]

Learning to drive and my instructor recommended your videos, they are helping a lot. I need to get my speed up (when appropriate), any tips? I am happy plodding along at 15/20 mph lol

[@ConquerDriving]

Thank you for watching. Speed comes with time, allow your skill to gradually grow. Stretch it too quickly and it may snap.

[@Catherine-kt9jt]

@@ConquerDriving thanks for the reply! Yes I hope it comes with time.

[@TheBenenen]

Speed will definitely come in time, as you grow confidence in other areas of driving you'll naturally feel more comfortable committing to better usage of speed because it will just flow naturally with the other aspects of driving :)

How can i get a mock test?

i wouldnt mind doing a mock test with you even though i got my licence

[@5Hermi]

In Poland for not turning on headlights you fail your test😆

[@doomham7652]

I dont quite get the mirror check for going around parked cars. Surely you can just see what is behind the car as you go around it? Also you gotta be going pretty slow to actually react to anything you see behind a car anyways.
