I'm 33 and I've put off driving for so long because I'm absolutely terrified of it. The last thing anyone needs on a road is a nervous driver. I watched a driving lesson video before this and my heart was in my mouth. Then I found this one, within 4 minutes I was feeling better. I love how you explain everything so casually and clearly. You've given me so much information I didn't know, you've also completely changed my perspective on how driving lessons work. I'm almost looking forward to it now. I'm going to check out more of your videos, thank you. Keep doing what you're doing you're making a difference.

I just turned 17 and have like 30 hours driving but I look like I am 12 at 5 foot 4. People give me some serious stares when I am in the car. Driving was really scary at first but it’s extremely empowering when you start to get a hold of it.

[@cccbeats_]

@@aidey8mph605 People probably don't stare at you when you're driving because you look younger. It's probably all in your head and no one is really staring at you. Either that or, your driving skills aren't that good.

[@Setapartdavid]

Funny thing during my lesson was I wasn’t nervous at all. I really enjoy being behind the wheel even though I’ve never been. I was literally just like I need to figure this out cause driving is definitely for me. My first driving lesson I was doing my thing with minor errors. Wasn’t nervous at all just concerned on figuring things out

[@jas_313]

I have my first lesson on Monday so this was so helpful! As nobody in my family drives I’m literally starting w/ zero knowledge so I’ve been taking full advantage of KZbin vids such as this one!👌🏾

[@GetDriving]

Glad it was helpful! Let us know how your lesson goes :)

[@UKDrivingTest]

Strangely the only thing I remember about my first driving lesson, about 12 years ago, was how to open the door, 'the dutch reach', as it is often called. Don't know why I remember that, think it is because I did not understand, at the time, why the instructor was teaching me how to open a door! Second lesson I remember almost crashing into a bollard, also the instructor having to change gears for me as it was too much for me to process! Remember even if your first few lessons don't go as well the biggest skills are EFFORT and ATTITUDE! If you put the effort in and have a positive attitude towards learning and driving you WILL succeed. People with who put in effort and have good attitude will typically succeed more, in the long run, than those who may have good practical skills but don't put in effort or have a poor attitude.

[@GetDriving]

I've never understood why it's called a Dutch reach! Do people in Holland routinely use the furthest hand from the task to do things?! Good story though i can't remember my first lesson at all lol! Waaaay too long ago.

[@UKDrivingTest]

@@GetDriving Yes don't have a clue why it is called the dutch reach. The idea of doing it is to encourage you to look over your shoulder / blindspot before opening the door, this would help look for things such as cyclists, which are of course quite common in Holland. So perhaps idea is from Holland?

[@dibyajitdas3031]

[@excusemeprincess8252]

Booked my first lesson in the last couple of hours after putting it off for about 6 months. This video made me feel more relaxed about it so that's good. Still feeling a little nervous but I think that's just the natural fear of the unknown. The guy should be understanding as he used to be a primary school teacher and if he can teach little kids then I think he'll be fine with my slight apprehension and maybe not understanding everything the first time around.

[@Chloe_-uk6vt]

What I love about this video is you explained the small things. I got my driving lessons first one tomorrow and I was even worried about do I sit in the drivers side straight away or the passenger. Will we go to a quite road etc. You explained these very well thank you, I feel much better now

[@dan4026]

I had my first driving lesson yesterday, and she fully threw me in at the deep end, 3 junctions, one of which was way more than 90 degrees, so I needed to edge forward etc, a double mini roundabout, apparently she doesn't normally do it like that but I did great! Obviously I stalled a few times getting used to the clutch while stopping was my main fault, but it gave me a sense of freedom unlike getting a taxi etc. I'm just watching this video for my next lesson to see what I can improve on/keep in mind for monday , thanks for the video!

[@naraa8768]

Omg same!!! My one did teach me the basics basics but legit just told me to drive lmao but obviously in a kind of quiet area

[@stixxer1523]

Similar to me actually, I only took 10 minutes to get used to driving the car then I was left to it, drove around built up areas and junctions. It was quite fun

[@orbitpowder]

Thank you for the very helpful video. I had my first lesson today. I stalled twice, while slowly driving and parking on the side of the road. The third time I said to myself "keep it steady, do not go harsh on the brake pedal and focus". Did it well the third time. Practice does indeed make perfect, and I, like other learners will get used to it.

How my first driving lesson went: - I sat down infront of the wheel - We did no check ups for eye sight and I did not need to show any personal information to him - He told me to give gas and steer the wheel - within 5 minutes we were on the highway (we also went through the entire city within those 5-7 minutes) - We went to a more quiet neighbourhood again - I learnt how to stop/brake - I learnt the manual - I drove on my own - end Second lesson was repeat, third lesson was learning the coupling and I have my 4th lesson in 2 days.
