Thank you for this video. I have booked my test and am really nervous but this video has helped me . Thank you

[@babyzaar]

Simply one of the best video I watched relative to driving test

[@juancarlosjaramillopaz7013]

Thanks for you videos really helpful 👍

[@charmyni8847]

Thank you. I just understood my mirror use better. My test is in two days

[@drivinglessonswithdamo3085]

You are very welcome. All the very best for your test and please don’t hesitate to ask any questions if you are unsure of anything

[@charmyni8847]

I have had two instructors. One said that I should drive in the middle of a wide road as it is for single traffic and the second said I should consider the road double lane and drive on the left. Which is right please

[@drivinglessonswithdamo3085]

@@charmyni8847 I guess it all depends on the road itself. I would always advise to position in the centre of the road but it changes depending on what's happening, e.g. parked vehicles, cyclists. Your road position should be central but change as appropriate hazards present themselves.

[@charmyni8847]

Thank you for your prompt response

[@drivinglessonswithdamo3085]

No worries, if you have any other questions please don’t hesitate to ask

[@lorrainedawkins6402]

Really found this useful can I ask when the temp red triangle stop sign is on the road and the traffic light is green do you still have to stop

[@Abythenjeril]

Worrhful classes❤

[@canutobritto7637]

Great Sir.

[@DisleyDavid]

Shouldn’t you check for pedestrians BEFORE turning into the road on the right? Apologies if you covered this elsewhere.

[@felixpatemusic5306]

Nerves are the kicker!

[@drivinglessonswithdamo3085]

That's so true Felix! How did you get over them when you passed your test?

[@felixpatemusic5306]

Driving Lessons with Damo I used the experience from my first test going into my second to tell myself that I knew what was expected and knew I could drive so the second time wouldnt be as hard as the first

[@drivinglessonswithdamo3085]

@@felixpatemusic5306 That's a good point, but you still need to keep the nerves under control which you did! How long did the nerves last, if you can remember?

[@felixpatemusic5306]

Driving Lessons with Damo once I got driving and focused on that they went within 10 minutes max

[@Jake-iz1yl]

For the first junction on the video, will the examiner take into count the situation and not give you a Minor for hesitation?

[@drivinglessonswithdamo3085]

Hi, thanks for your question - I suppose it depends on how big the gap is. He expects a certain level of trepidation and will account for that but if there’s an obvious delay it would go down as a minor fault.

[@abaker2011]

Another great video

[@drivinglessonswithdamo3085]

Thanks Alan, appreciate your feedback

[@gypsdawsmorton5312]

Would I get faults for just stopping at a give way and putting it in first?

[@typicalabzgamer9904]

Hey mate one question can u use first gear to straighten up while bey parking and parallel parking

[@drivinglessonswithdamo3085]

Hi, absolutely! It’s the only gear you want to select if you are needing to correct a manoeuvre. It allows you to control the car at low speeds.

[@sophieherschy7456]

Would you get a minor if you did indicate when nobody is around?

[@drivinglessonswithdamo3085]

No! That’s not an issue at all, you’ll be ok

[@viviennebartlett9456]

Some of the failure is govt corruption to get more money . I know a lady who checked all her mirrors at a junction and thr examiner was looking another direction at the time and failed her . Cameras should be installed inside the car to prove evidence both sides
