Don’t Let ‘I Need to Pass’ Cost You the HGV Test!
Don’t Let ‘I Need to Pass’ Cost You the HGV Test!
In today’s video, we’re diving into a big mental trap that so many drivers fall into: putting too much pressure on themselves with the word need. Trust me, there’s a fine line between a healthy goal and creating unnecessary stress. If you’ve ever wondered, “Can pressure ruin your HGV test?” or “Does ‘need’ add test pressure?” this is the video for you.
Can Overthinking Lead to Failure? Absolutely. When you focus on needing to pass instead of wanting to pass, you might end up with a mind so tense it’s like you’re gripping the wheel for dear life! Let’s break down why that difference matters with some stories, like the one about Jake, a skilled driver who lost it under pressure. Jake came in ready, top of his game, and we even had a cheeky bet that he’d pass on his first try. But on test day, he psyched himself out by saying, ‘I need this license.’ And guess what? He let the pressure overtake his skills.
Or take George. George prepared for months, checking mirrors like a hawk and practicing his moves down to a science. But on test day, his focus on needing that pass got so intense he actually forgot to drive naturally. His examiner told him, ‘George, you’re a good driver, but today you drove like you were being chased.’ He’d let that need word mess with his mind. So, “What’s the best HGV test mindset?” It’s one that lets you stay calm, steady, and focused.
Does Wanting Less Help You Pass? You’d be surprised! Think of it this way: approaching your test with a sense of ‘I want this’ rather than ‘I need this’ removes the intense pressure that comes with need. When you put the pressure on like that, it’s easy to get caught up in every detail and overdo it, like the mate I had who went into a big bike race and overdid a corner. He’d practiced like mad, but on race day he was so fixated on winning that he took the turn too fast and nearly skidded out. Afterward, he admitted, ‘Turns out the only thing I needed was to calm down!’
The takeaway here? “Can wanting less help you pass?” For many drivers, the answer is yes. If you’re looking to go into your HGV test with the best possible mindset, watch the video to learn why you should think ‘want’ not ‘need’ and keep that pressure in check.
So, “What’s the best HGV test mindset?” It’s simple: stay steady, take it slow, and remember that driving well is what counts most. If you’re on your way to that license, approach it with the right mentality, and you’ll be well on your way.

Do you have any videos with really narrow streets and lots of oncoming traffic on them?
@@donalddalrymple414 yes, there is few on the channel, plenty of content like this and more coming🤙🏻
You are very very good at your videos. You seem like a top man.
That is perfect advice 😊
@@donalddalrymple414 you welcome😁
Excellent advice! Frame of mind is everything. Have to say i love the automatic subtitles on the last story . You have a maid who takes corners like a prawn 😂 👍
Just go with the flow don’t put yourself under pressure, just remember you are professional so act like it and don’t be shaky and shy. 😂
@@sj4380 I like that! Drive safe🤙🏻
Failed on the corner at 20:50 such a difficult corner plus your blind going round the second corner
@@JahmaineGreen yes, we don’t do easy corners, thank you🤙🏻
The curb on 37:45 is very tricky so hard to judge to judge it
@@JahmaineGreen great stuff, thank you🤙🏻
Please make a video to teach how to turn in the tight corners and which techniques to use. Thank you
There is already one on the channel🤙🏻
@@retroschoolofmotoring1261I was watching the video and is 100% top but try to make one in Town centre with tight corners. The tight corners in the town centre is very difficult for everyone. Thank you I really like your videos
@ great stuff, there should be one coming soon, drive safe🤙🏻
🫡🫡🫡
@@nzubechukwu2856 thank you🤙🏻
Would be any chance of you doing a video showing your technique for nervous people before the test?
@@donalddalrymple414 to get this right u need to have enough training so you confident by the wheel, then your instructor before the test can do really good stuff, including breathing excersises but that’s only if you have good relationship between you too
I just passed my C+E only because i was talking to examiner and this makes me feel more relax
@@mrpool69 I’m glad you did! Well done and drive safe🤙🏻
What is the best technique when you get nervous drivers coming up to the test?
@@donalddalrymple414 we have different techniques for particular students, it’s always something we can do before the test but it’s not that simple as some techniques aren’t suitable for everyone, it’s not that easy to say Donald
Same my story😂 i fail my class 1 last week Tuesday
New sub here ! Thanks for the videos. I passed my c+e today. Can't wait to get a job and get out on the roads !!
Well done man, take it easy and drive safe!
@@retroschoolofmotoring1261 i have job and i dint have hgv :( .my test is on 22/11/2024
Jak byś mówił o mnie. Mój instruktor gadał takie bzdury przez 3 dni jazd że szok. Bardziej wyglądało to na przyjacielska przejażdżkę. Przed pierwszym egzaminem po 3 dniach praktyk powiedział że nie ma się czego przyczepić. Oblałem. Przed drugim egzaminem miałem 5 godzin jazd i ta sama historia. Jesteś gotowy Bart. Oblałem. Mam już tego dosyć i zastanawiam się co zrobić z tym wszystkim.

Whats the tip migjt be worth talking to the camera
There should be an arrow in the green when you have 100% advantage while in solid green without arrow requires you to take care and give advantage for oncoming vehicles if they go straight (and you aren't)
@@spangggg so now this being a busy junction, you can also go when just a green dot is there but you have to give way and adding to this the corner comes on you if you trying to go faster so have to plan for your size still. Because it’s quite complex v often students come back to the old habit and goes when there is no cars close but further away, now if you try to turn quick you may take trailer v quickly on the island with the traffic lights or if you go slower the cars can come from ahead and again you would stop them🤙🏻
Hi Sir is there any way to do complete bus driver course with government funding?
@@danielmuhammad9091 don’t think they do that.
you failed your today test 22:00 when was pass next to the parked truck . we say it was a bad decision
@@kingkhan-m1d5b was that a test? The line of driving was on the go where is should be still anticipating, it it was a test this would be to the examiner’s decision as the road looked like a building side, blind corner where the truck was stopped could mean that if we stopped behind and wait there would be completely no way to know what’s happening, although we slow down the vehicle this could have been safer way of doing this🤙🏻
@@retroschoolofmotoring1261 we will let the examiner decide :)
Your mirrows might not survive
You hit the curb :).. You failed 😅
It does depend really, did it create dangerous situation? 😁
Slightly in the middle lane ? So a car if your only slightly in midde lane could still come up along side you ?
Yes, absolutely. That’s what u want to do. Going completely in to the middle lane would mean you leave so much space on the left that u risking someone getting in there. If you are slightly in the middle lane car can come in ti but they already know that you there so won’t be pushing too much and as you sitting in this side you have excellent view and your driving line is anyway away from them as you are going left, they presumably going straight, take it and drive safe🤙🏻
🔥❤️
did we pass his c+e
@@kingkhan-m1d5b has passed. But not after this mock test, he has extra training to address the problems that were there.
@@retroschoolofmotoring1261 he had good control but bad decision making
Videos helped me pass my class c got more from these than I did my instructors 👍
@@tidyclio it shouldn’t be this way but I’m glad they helped you, drive safe🤙🏻
Totally agree. My instructor’s advice didn’t give me confidence with busy roundabouts, lane splitting, appropriate speeds, passing pedestrians, and tricky junctions. Your videos made these areas clear so I used your advice and that gave me the confidence to pass. I only had one chance, so I’m very grateful. Thank you!
@ you’re welcome, all the best on your driving career!
Best hgv training videos on TH-cam you demonstrate all the things I needed to know
@@tidyclio thank you🤙🏻
Thank you for you videos l passed mine through watching your teachings❤
@@jimgo2007 you v welcome, happy that they help, drive safe🤙🏻
When you pass vehicles parking on your left, how many metres should you leave between
It does depend on the speed. The rule is 3 feet 30mph 2 feet 20 mph 1 foot 10 mph If you come less than a foot, go super slow, walking pace Drive safe🤙🏻
That’s was quite common sense obviously you have to consider the size of the lorry position correctly and have good orientation.but I never saw how you going to turn right on a small roundabout.im sure everyone will be fine doing left turns so how about show how you going to turn right on a tiny roundabout.😊
Let’s just say this. Come to us and I will take you for these easy left turns, if you are so sure I bet you will get this easy left turns with no problems, do you know which ones creating most fails? Do you have statistics and gone through them to see what is helping people the most? And of course it’s all common sense that’s why you watched it🤙🏻 keep at it. And drive safe😁

@@richandiben nice one man, you welcome? Drive safe💪🏻
Iv not driven in a year and a half great video to scratch up on how to connect properly 👍
I’ve got my test in a few weeks in Leighton buzzard so this has helped
@@JahmaineGreen good luck man, happy that it does help you🤙🏻
He is ready , I wish him all the best
😁
Bad move from cyclist
You let your steering wheel slide through your hands don't do that when training and on test 😂😂
@@danmason9416 yees you can🤙🏻
As long as your hands are on the wheel, you’re allowed to
do you have to check left mirror right mirror blind spot after moving off from lights and when moving from one lane to another lane?
@ mirrors yes. Blind spot only if you starting from when being parked on the side of the road. If you check when moving at the traffic lights is extra precaution, u won’t be penalised for not checking.
Is the tip in the room with us
👍

Hgv videos like this should be put all over the adverts on tv so people know not to mess near a HGV

I would say you need charger an power bank for your phone and torch
@@jacul3697 yes, good point.💪🏻
Great video as always Patryk! Can you also recommend reliable apps for truck navigation/finding suitable stops? Probably not everyone want costly SatNav if driving part time/for agency in beginning of their career. Thank you.
@@ivodimitrov6873 the one to use is sygic(two weeks free, delete and reinstall and after that period) has all you need🫡

If you break down you need food and drink very important I agree
