Driving Instructor FAILS His Driving Test! | Tips on How to PASS

Mock driving test with Francis from Driving School TV. I took Francis on a tricky route with lots of roundabouts and big crossroads.

It just demonstrates that even highly trained experienced drivers make mistakes, so then it questions how fair is the driving test, because driving pretty much perfectly for 40 minutes can be difficult for someone whose only had about 60 hours driving experience. I’ve had well over 100 hours and I’m on my third go at the test, even the head instructor who I had for my first test said she was impressed with my driving but couldn’t pass me cause the car conked out cause of the hill I was on and the car I was in, she told me if the car behind wasn’t so close behind or wasn’t there at all then I would of passed. So luck is heavy when you’re doing a driving test. So it’s not really very fair. I know people in my year who have just passed and I see them on their phone or they’ve already scratched or ruined their car. Yet I can drive without instruction safely and still struggle in the test.

[@castlestar454]

Similar experience for me. My instructor told me he would have bet (and subsequently lost!) a lot of money that I would pass.

[@user-zm2fs2mh8z]

I had 16 hours of experience and passed first time

[@reuben3694]

@@user-zm2fs2mh8z but even a professional driver or instructor would say you don’t start learning till you pass, and don’t forget that first time passers and people with limited experience (i.e less than 40 hours) are the most likely to crash, plus it’s a factual statistic that 1 in 5 newly qualified drivers crash within their first year of driving.

[@caitlingxox]

i passed on my 4th try and when the examiner told me i passed she couldn’t believe it had taken me 4 tries, you’ll get there eventually good luck with your next test :)

[@DavidBaillie1986]

Tbh I agree. The pass rate in the UK in 2010 was 63% it then plummeted to 47% a few years ago and currently sits at 51%. That would suggest that the test isn't fit for purpose and urgently needs reform. Realistically it's always been that way for example when I did it you had to reverse round a corner? What that was about I have no idea as I genuinely don't think I've ever had to do it and certainly not the way you had to do it on the test day. Don't worry about the people you know who have passed recently as unfortunately when I was your age the most irresponsible and immature people passed quickly but then most ended up losing their license even quicker or getting involved in a serious accident because they'd be on their phone, speeding or under the influence. Good luck.

Thumbs up to see Aman drive in Hither Green!!

[@fullafulla4102]

yesss

[@stevethomas74]

Hey Franco, I watched that one before this video so I know how it went. Better than yours, clearly! 😁 I know you're a boss driver as is Aman so it's all good!

[@DylRicho]

Definitely! 😂

[@petitechxls4429]

He does talk a lot but I love his vibe as an instructor and I wish I had him as my instructor. My instructor had 2 energies one minute he will be talking and laughing next minute he’s screaming at you. Happy it’s all over as I’ve passed I just appreciate Francis energy as this is the attitude needed to teach learners

[@stevethomas74]

Ditto! The thing is, we all know that he wouldn't be that animated/jokey on a real test but it just goes to show how good a driver he is EVEN WITH the 6 minors and 1 serious. Driving in a different car and a totally different area too. I'm still currently learning to drive and some of the routes (and especially that damn confusing roundabout that was 3rd exit right!) had me sweating even from the comfort of my own chair! 😁 P.S. Sorry to hear about your former driving instructor! Thankfully mine is a lot like Aman (she's also Indian) but she's a perfect mix of technically brilliant instructor but with all the patience and friendliness/sense of humour to boot. The first instructor I had many years back, was a guy in his late 50s or even early-mid sixties and he was trying to get me to run before I could walk. Think driving on a dual carriageway in rush hour 5th lesson in when I can barely move the car off properly down a quiet street! 😬 Needless to say, after about 8 lessons I gave up as each lesson was 2 hours long and I was having PTSD by the time I went indoors!

[@ellalondon1293]

Agree 😄😄😄😍😍

[@retetsemasitise3063]

What if Francis has instances of screaming at you as well? Most driving instuctors are emotional and even impatient.

[@tylerlamont1503]

I honestly think sometimes your instructor can get impatient because they know what your capable of. My instructor gets annoyed because he knows I'm not as bad a drive as I make out sometimes with silly mistakes

[@kspades2530]

Bro that was my second instructor 💀🤣

[@AcerDyan]

My god.. this guy really knows how to talk

[@Gobbbbb]

Francis definitely knows how to engage with the viewers, it's obvious he knows the answers to most of the questions he's asking, but they're informative to the viewer while he's driving. I think also some of his talking is down to some amount of nerves, so not everybody can escape the nerves while being examined! Great video!

[@vinu85]

Francis is very down to earth and humble. Praising his instructor and self depreciating himself for fun of the viewers. Please have more Collab.

[@polymorth]

All i can say is this shows why the current driving test pass standard is daylight robbery and utterly ridiculous at the same time, human errors will always occur, the fails should be if you deal with it poorly and constantly make them, not the dumb nonsense we have currently.

[@Undisputed_King]

Correct. It's a scam

[@mikrokosmin1401]

yh fr

[@CoRLex-jh5vx]

I definitely think there should be a balance between the technical mistakes and the reaction, but at the same time, it's a machine that can easily kill you and those around you. I'd rather the standards be stupidly high than too low tbh

[@MrMentalz2]

its funny cos Francis is so high energy and Aman is very reserved like opposites lol

its actually a lot easier to realise and spot mistakes when you're not the one driving as a pose to being the one driving, thats what i figured out for myself personally, that i spot mistakes easier while im not driving than when i am driving

[@amyk9813]

@Thawne That's a common misconception. I didn't do it for either of those reasons. I did it to become a better, safer, smoother, more progressive driver and that's exactly what's happened. That's for life now. I worked hard, got a FIRST in my test and now doing my Masters. I enjoy driving so much that it's not work, it's challenging but good fun and to know I'm "one of the UK's most skilled road users" gives me reassurance because there are a lot of terrible, dangerous drivers out there - professional or not. I recommend everyone do it and will be making a video on this soon actually as there's not enough information out there 👍

24'55'' At the roundabout, road ahead, 1st exit. Francis should signal left while approaching the roundabout? Not just before exiting. However, he can get away from highway code 186 "Unless signs or marking indicate otherwise"

Clearview Driving, your videos are super-useful, in terms of both the footage and the analysis! And Inshall did great :-) One suggestion: do you need to cut out sections of the drive when editing? I'd personally much prefer to see how everything joins up, even if I need to watch a longer video. And there was one bit in this video where Inshall merges onto a dual carriageway, which is a significant manouver, but it was cut.

[@Leblribrbrrq]

Oh. Stopping/parking on the other side of the road (like around 38:00) would be against the rules in Germany (unless it's a one-way). You're only allowed to park in the direction of travel. And for left turns you always cross in front of each other unless otherwise instructed but this is hardly a thing (more so on big interrupted intersections). So it was interesting to see how this varies so much in the UK (or just in the London area).

[@Guvness89]

Guys, what's the point in a video where he is perfect. That teaches us nothing. Also goes to show how easy it is to be distracted and mess up - supposed to be educational, not perfect, as no one is. So on that basis - great video Aman.

[@chantalsscaleisafibber]

I passed my test in1983or84&my daughter passed about18 months ago and she was taught so differently to me and they don't do a3point turn as they did when I did my test.
