How could you not notice. I am learning to drive and don’t get me wrong i miss signs for the speed of the road occasionally but if you’re not seeing that the road isn’t straight on then i’d be worried 😂 I’ve also noticed she doesn’t listen to Aman’s instructions very well maybe it’s just nerves bless her, I’m sure with an instructor like Aman though she will pass
Erin is progressing really well, can see how much she's improving in each video. Aman that lorry driver stopped us from seeing one of your legendary 3 point turns. 🤣😂
Learning to drive with my husband right now, I did start with a driving instructor but found i was much more confident with my husband. Passed my theory 2 weeks ago just need to find an instructor who can polish me up as i will have picked up a few bad habits plus need to learn the parallel park and reverse bay park. i hope i can find someone like Aman i think she is excellent
Watching these videos is partly about me learning how the rules differ in the UK from those in Germany and Switzerland, or more generally continental Europe. The first difference I noticed was that in the UK you mostly set you indicator before you enter a roundabout, whereas in Germany and Switzerland you (mostly) indicate when you are about to leave the roundabout. What caught my attention in this video was that you have to rely on road markings to know you are on the main/priority road*. In almost all of Europe bar the UK and Ireland, you have signs indicating you are on a priority road: yellow diamond with white borders (you have priority until further notice). On larger intersections, these are often accompanied by road markings as well.
I just started to watch this channel's videos and only now gone back to watch them in order and this is my exact same experience. At first, I just enjoyed the drives through the neighborhoods and Aman's good teaching style but now, I just worry about the very different approaches on right-of-way regulations. And this is exactly the same take-away: Roundabouts are treated like normal junctions when it comes to signaling, right-of-way signage doesn't exist except for road markings and a mini-roundabout is basically priority to the right (“Rechts vor links”) since it is treated as one junction. Another thing is the amounts of traffic lights and the repeaters they have, this seems excessive.
I passed my driving exam on Tuesday in The Bahamas! I learned so much from your channel, thanks for helping me get my license. (I recommend this channel to my friends and family as well to help them pass).♥♥♥
@@lucyroffey05 Not much difference, we don’t have “big roundabouts” or painted roundabouts either. Oh and those metal parts in the road count as sensors so we can go up to them so the light would change faster (it’s not really counted as a sidewalk per say) That’s the only difference. (Besides we did once live under the British rules)
@@lucyroffey05 wym lol💀 I meant those mini roundabouts. Our roundabouts have mostly cultural references decorated in them and is covered with grass and a cement wall around the entire thing.
@@Sammm30 im from Bulgaria 🇧🇬 so it’s kinda different from the uk but my practical exam was around 2-3 weeks after my theory (I think) here we need to have 13 mandatory lessons of 1 and a half hours with an instructor (learning to drive with a parent/family member is forbidden) so if you don’t feel prepared you can pay extra hours but I took my 13 lessons and passed my internal exam (we have an internal for both theory and practical, which is the same but not in that highly supervised environment) The internal practical is with your instructor and a camera and the theory is in the “classroom” on an official site provided by the government. YOUU HAVE TO PASS THE INTERNAL if you want to go to the official exam! And that’s it. Sorry for the lengthy explanation!
Am I the only one from North America noticed that in the UK, they can park their car facing either direction on both sides of the road? In Canada and the US your vehicles' front should face the same direction as the traffic flow. You cannot park the vehicle in either direction. That is an illegal parking in North America. Another way of saying this is that you won't see two vehicles parked face to face or ass to arse.
I think it depends whether you complete the whole manoeuvre in one or two. If you did it in one no signal required. If it were busy you might be able to negotiate the junction in two. Firstly signal left and do a left turn stop then signal right and do a right turn. The important part here is that you would not want fast traffic approaching from the right on the first bit. This is because you are turning onto a main road with a PLAN to immediately stop, (not suddenly have to). If you look at the road markings at the junction, there are zig-zags, so a pedestrian crossing is in the vicinity, that wants special consideration. In fact it has an island in the centre so extra rules apply. As it happens it is to our right so helpful pedestrians might cross and stop traffic enabling us to emerge left more easily. Thereafter we do a right turn giving way to oncoming and might get help from oncoming traffic stopping short because they see pedestrians are crossing and leave a gap. There could be cyclists coming up the inside. Apart from that it's not problematic.
Aman, You are a real professional, very competent training, calm and pleasant manner of communication and learning + You and your students (especially this girl😅😍🥰) look amazing and very cute, and this Mercedes is of course just one love. Thanks for the interesting and helpful content!🤗 Wish You a Happy New Year, be healthy and happy, good luck!!!🙏🏻🥳🎄❄️☃️🎅🏻🎂🍾🥂🇬🇧🇺🇦 P.s.: It's the Mercedes GLA, isn't it?))
Have you showed Erin how to let the wheel slip between her hands once completed a turn or not she might like it better rather then turning the wheel all the time, just my opinion but I like it so much easier for me
When I was learning to drive, my instructor discouraged this because you're "losing control of the wheel". Don't get me wrong, she was an incredible teacher. Just stringent at times.
@@thedragonbrawler9311 that's funny because I was actually taught to do this 😂 my instructor's reasoning was that the car will straighten itself much quicker than a person can. As long as you have both hands on the wheel I don't think it's an issue.
@@rearviewmirror21 totally agree with you on this my instructor told me if they can hear it slip between you’re hands it’s won’t be a fail as you still have some control over the car
those roads look horrible, i drive in holland on the right side. Its weird to see people drive on the left. I probably cant drive in england, even tho i got my license for 10 years now.
Legally, no, you do not have to pass your theory test before you start taking driving lessons. You have to pass your theory test before you can take your practical test. But all you need to start driving lessons is a provisional driving licence.
Hi Amen We chatted recently on another video about having a conversation with the pupil instead of talking at them all the time. I understand your videos are edited, but there is very little conversation with this pupil. In order for anyone to drive independently, they really need to think for themselves as early as possible. You are restricting this by continuously instructing. I'm unsure how many hours the pupil has done so far. However, is she really ready for type of roads you are taking her on if you have to keep reminding her to "brake and clutch" nearly every time? If she is ready for those roads, stop telling her if she can do it! Nearly every video I have seen of yours, you are very Instructor led. You tell the pupils to do things and very rarely talk about WHY we do it, or the consequences. I would really like to help you develop some of these area's if you would like? How often do you get offered free training 👍
I think you are forgetting important stuff here. Namely that she’s had a 3 week break from driving, previous pauses in driving, and so is still at beginner stage. Independence and WHY we do things can come later. Aman will cover that. Your comment, free training or not, is incredibly patronising. I’m sure you are well meaning, however your feedback needs to be developed in a better way. You mentioned being a trainer, must be a rewarding job, but i’d suggest opening your mind into a wider lens of different teaching approaches. There are many ways to achieve a goal. If this is a marketing strategy for “free training”, frankly, it is failing
@@alexanderjones459 my intention was not to be patronising and apologies if it came across that way. It is easy to misinterpret comments. I disagree that independence and why we do things should come later. Independence should be introduced on the first lesson. I have watched many of Amens videos and they are all very similar. Instructor led and not client centered. She has a large following and I feel she could really help learners to improve even more by developing some of her skills. When I was at Amen's stage, I would have loved to have been offered free training! Even as an instructor trainer, I still go on training days and courses to develop. Maybe I need a course on leaving feedback on TH-cam! Are you an instructor yourself? I agree there are many different approaches to learning. The only approach I see in these videos is to keep telling the pupil what to do!
The lorry pulling up and giving you a free pass was kind of wholesome. Great episode as usual 😄
"im not very observant" is something you dont want the person behind the wheel saying 😂
Yeah, hope she doesn't say that on her test, it's better than saying I'm blind though lol
Ikr🤣🤣🤣

There was a lot to contend with there, but Erin did very well. That was a nice interaction with the truck driver :)

Gud morning crispy Morning 🥶1
I don't even know what that emoji is, I went out with 23-24°C this morning. Weather is getting crazy🥵
The reliant from only fools and horses got me. cant stop laughing
I'm exhausted just watching. But hey, excellent, well done.
Two birds one stone I’m learning as well as simpin Aman
I think with Erin it's purely a matter of confidence - she can clearly drive well, just needs to believe in herself a bit more.
Love your voice

at 15:20 onwards would you really not signal left here? Would you signal right if you suddenly had to stop after you pulled out?
I think it depends whether you complete the whole manoeuvre in one or two. If you did it in one no signal required. If it were busy you might be able to negotiate the junction in two. Firstly signal left and do a left turn stop then signal right and do a right turn. The important part here is that you would not want fast traffic approaching from the right on the first bit.

My test got cancelled because of the snow. The new date they gave me is in March😢
wtf! thats insane! i hope they have an opening early if someone cancels. goodluck !!!!
Log into the dvsa site every morning at 6am and look for cancellations, the main day they update is Monday but I found my date on a Saturday morning ✌
use those cancellation service apps

I've always heard "have two hands firmly on the wheel when driving".🤔
@@rearviewmirror21 totally agree with you on this my instructor told me if they can hear it slip between you’re hands it’s won’t be a fail as you still have some control over the car
Do you have to signal those cross roads or not in both sides 🤔
Hi, When doing the reverse bay manouvre, if initially you go in the middle of 2 bays but then readjust , is it just a minor fault? thanks
those roads look horrible, i drive in holland on the right side. Its weird to see people drive on the left. I probably cant drive in england, even tho i got my license for 10 years now.
Any else notice the only fools and horse vehicle at the start 😂
hi, doesnt stepping on the clutch as well as the gas cause u to speed up more while turning?
no pressing on the clutch slows you down. doesn’t matter how hard ur accelerating
👍👍
You can drive without having your theory test in England?
Yes, throughout the whole of the UK.
Legally, no, you do not have to pass your theory test before you start taking driving lessons. You have to pass your theory test before you can take your practical test. But all you need to start driving lessons is a provisional driving licence.
Yes and no. You can have lessons on the road but you can not take your practical driving TEST until you have passed your theory.
No handbrake on this car ?
Which area is this? Looks nice to live
West London
Shepherd’s Bush
London is not at all a nice area to live in i promise 😂
