[@DaveDVideoMaker]

It’s not the end of the world if you get minors on your driving test, as long as you get 15 or less faults and no serious or dangerous faults. Tish from Auto Social UK passed her driving test with 14 minors first time.

[@brianocampo7981]

I think it's better for someone to pass with several minors than none at all. The minors are a good reminder that they'll never be a perfect driver but should still try to keep their standards up. On the other hand, someone with no minors may be led to believe that their driving is perfect and let their guard down as the years go by.

[@DaveDVideoMaker]

Of course, you don’t need to be a perfect driver to pass, as long as you have no serious or dangerous faults, or as long as you don’t keep making the same fault over and over cos that can turn into a serious fault.

[@rhiannonholden8112]

[@grano0la]

My examiner gave me a minor for waiting behind a parked car and letting oncoming vehicles first as I didn't feel safe I would fit in the gaps. He gave me a serious fault because I missed the changing of red to green for 2-3 seconds. He gave me a serious fault for changing lane from right to middle on a busy road when he asked me to do so and apparently I made one car pull back because of my action. Another car didn't beep on me and changed lane safely but still got serious for that 🤦🤦 and yet I've seen more experienced drivers that drove worst than I did during the exam. Only reason I tried to change to the left ASAP was because I thought ahead was a bus lane and if I go there and it was in fact a bus lane I would've failed straight away as well. These examiners can be so unfair over little things.🤦🤦

Gaaaahd that is so unfortunate.

Here’s a question - do you always get a fault for failing to signal before moving off? I was never taught to do it, and I don’t think I got a single fault for not doing it on any of the four tests I did

[@DrivingSchoolTV]

Jesus who was your instructor 🤦‍♂️😆 Imagine if two cars were moving off from either side of the road and neither were signaling… they’d have a problem!

[@WoodenPickProduction]

@@DrivingSchoolTV I had three different instructors - a random old man, a random middle-aged woman, and a racist man from Red. None of them seemed to care, and neither did any of the examiners on my test! I’m not entirely sure why... but I know I passed in Morden, and I thought I might have failed because I didn’t signal when I moved off on a couple of busy roads - I didn’t even get minors for it!

[@andie5500]

I’m learning at Red and my instructor said I only need to signal if there’s anyone nearby - and always tells me off when I signal anyway…

[@nathanball3639]

I don’t think he means that the indicator will reset once the wheels align

[@amonikmelaco]

4:15 - I thought it wasn't necessary to signal when moving off from the left unless there's lots of traffic that needs to be alerted?

[@DrivingSchoolTV]

That's what Zak said at the end! It's necessary to signal if theres anyone that could benefit from it. There are a lot of parked cars and things going on on the road. People might be in the cars or pedestrians walking around. If you're in London its never not necessary to signal really!

I may sound really stupid but at the end you made him park up on the right on the curb, isn’t that illegal as he’s parked against traffic? Or is it only on main roads etc?

[@DrivingSchoolTV]

Hey good question! You can park on any side of the road where it’s safe to park, even on main roads. On your test the examiner might get you to park on the right as a manoeuvre. And we’re on the kerb because the parking box is marked that way to give more space on the road for cars 😊

[@nathanspears_]

13:11, it says 20 on the sign but 30 on the road?? How would you know which one to follow?

[@DrivingSchoolTV]

If a speed sign is in a red circle it’s a legal requirement. It looks like Lewisham haven’t completed the full package of the speed reduction because there should also be repeater signs in a 20 limit. but you’d go with the sign in red 😊

[@DrivingSchoolTV]

Interesting that you're a driving instructor. I've seen the short on your channel and there's no incorrect way to steer. As long as he's comfortable and in control of the car that's all the examiner is looking for. I've never had anyone marked down for not pushing and pulling or crossing arms. It's a CAT B test not an advanced driving qualification....

Hey I’ve got a question let’s says there’s a 30 zone but you don’t see no sign could you do 20 in that 30 zone

You need to drive to the speed of the road. If it's a 30 road with little hazards you need to drive at 30 or you'll get marked down for going too slowly. If its a 30 road and there's loads of hazards you need to drive at an appropriate speed to deal with whats on the road.

[@DrivingSchoolTV]

[@THEnoob1914]

@@DrivingSchoolTV hmmm, I am going to have to disagree with you there. If you are needing to change gears quickly it will definitely be uncomfortable and I would say unsafe in some cases. For example, imagine having to go into 5th gear on the motorway using this technique. Also, another thing that should be pointed out is that the driver keeps looking at the gear stick when changing gears from time to time which I think is unnecessary as gear numbers don't really change and eyes should be kept on the road. But that is just my opinion

[@DrivingSchoolTV]

😂 I say the same on lessons! Also when your hand is on the gear stick you can't see it anyway!!

Would it not be a fail for ovbservations when doing the bay park I’ve seen people fail for this 😬
