How to Pass an Advanced Driving Test - Knowledge

Alongside improving your physical and mental driving skills, you will also need a good level of knowledge in order to pass an advanced driving test. In this video I explain what is required and how to achieve the required standard.

Wherever you're driving looks good fun!

Liked your honesty about Limit points.

[@R04drunner1]

True, I could relate. I did my Advanced Test without knowing about limit points and thought I should emphasise making progress in country lanes. I passed but the examiner (rightly) deducted a mark for me going too fast round corners. I have learned about limit points since, largely through videos like this, and I'd like to think my country road driving is much better. Videos like this do a lot for road safety and a day with Reg is now on my bucket list. If only I wasn't an Irish Sea away!

I’ll never forget on my third driving lesson, on approach to a change in speed limit from 60mph to 30 mph, my instructor asked me “what do those signs tell us?” In reference to the 300,200,100 meter countdown markers. I replied “a change in speed limit soon” , “but when?” My reply was as follows “…soon” 😂

Another great video, appreciate the channel and your work providing the content, Thank you . Your delivery is always clear and demonstrates your extreme depth of knowledge and passion around driving, clearly a master but always improving. Please keep up the knowledge sharing! Had the benefit of iam training with an ex police driving instructor in the early 2000’s when I was 19, the principles remain with me today and it’s lovely to reminisce of those training days hearing you discuss phases of braking, tyres and tarmac etc etc, Thank you and keep up the excellent videos.

Learnt a lot from your videos mate. I've recently moved to London and driving is a whole other challenge to everywhere else. I'd love you to do a video on dealing with multi Lane city driving with drivers who are mental and unpredictable!

Just try to remain sane. You can't do much else

THANKS ONCE AGAIN FOR ANOTHER VERY INFORMATIVE AND INTERESTING VIDEO, MORE DRIVING KNOWLEDGE TO ADD TO MY ARMOURY.

[@gailfreeman-y5c]

Thanks for your video Reg.

It's interesting you mention the Roadcraft book for the IAM test. Associates are issued the IAM Course Logbook and that is all they need for the IAM test. I do get keen riders who are easily soaking up what they are learning to also read Roadcraft, but it is not a requirement until Masters (or to become an Observer).

[@R04drunner1]

Every day a school day. I had assumed Roadcraft was required reading for an IAM test. I did my Advanced Test without any observer runs, just by reading (and applying) Roadcraft. The Logbook sounds fascinating.

Wonderful stuff thank you Reg

Squiggly road & humpty road sign! This is me 😂😂

super video

[@R04drunner1]

Perfect timing, Reg. I was just thinking of getting back into Roadcraft, the Highway Code and Know Your Traffic Signs. Your video has encouraged me. The picture is a bit more complicated for me as I am in Northern Ireland. The Highway Code is virtually the same as the rest of the UK but not quite. We haven't yet adopted the latest changes, for example, on giving way to pedestrians about to cross at a junction. "Not a lot of people know that." A question for you. If going for the IAM Masters assessment, would I be expected to have precisely the correct description of each sign parrot fashion, or is it ok to paraphrase sometimes?

[@cbjgdicad1]

On the IAM motorcycle training and test they use no radio comms, you have to watch the observer behind you and when they indicate. Do you think this is a good system?

[@granite676]

No , it's dangerous, done it myself and really distracting and takes your eyes OFF the road ahead and makes you 'overcheck' your mirrors TO the point of distraction.
