Passed my test today with 0 minors. Thank you so much Richard, your videos saved me so much time and money on lessons, wish I could thank you in person. You are appreciated
Wow, what an achievement. Congratulations!
Is it as scary or difficult as you thought it was? I have mine in a few days, it been such a long time coming over 2 years all up to this day!
@@natw5040 i was nervous at the start obviously but after like the first 10 mins or so u get used to it. And it’s really not as difficult as u may think it is as long as you’re confident and you u know what ur doing you’ll be fine. Good luck 🤞
@@natw5040 also to plan ahead is the best advice I can give u, really helps u anticipate what’s about to happen and how u should react
@@natw5040 how did it go?
The big main tip is CONTROL YOUR NERVES you can be an amazing driver and know everything perfectly and do it well however test day is a stress Inducer and you can do silly things when under so much stress and pressure!
Very true.
@@ConquerDriving happened to me made me very sad but I know my ability but I got big nerves and I messed up by doing early observations at a roundabout by the time I went the car was closer to me and it had to slow down the tiniest bit and that was a major
@@ConquerDriving this was recently as well
Same happened to me 2 days ago I was on for a pass but my nerves spoiled it for me as I just couldn't shake them!!
Yes this was the reason I failed i was thinking too much about how long I would have to wait if I fail and that made me more stressed bc I knew I would have to wait atleast 5 months if I fail so there was a lot of pressure 😭
I passed my test a year ago and only bought my first car a week ago after working hard for the last 4 months. The best advice I could give to someone is to relax because the test was honestly 100 times easier than ANY of my driving lessons in terms of pressure. It was so easy that my confidence immediately came back after leaving the test centre and I was doing everything the driving examiner asked for. In the end, the biggest challenge is yourself - anxiety and nerves. Everything will come naturally to you in the ~45 minutes you will have to be examined.
Anxiety is a real reason many people fail the test. Congratulations on passing!
My main challenge is dealing with the nerves
I passes my test 2 days ago in first attempt and I just wanted to say a massive thank you to you Richard as watching your videos helped fortify learnings from my lessons. 😊 Guys, I would definitely recommend watching how to calm your nerves during test on this channel that will definitely help you.
My tip would be to just think of the examiner as your instructor and drive safely but don’t do anything different to try and impress the examiner. Honestly, 40mins fly by so stay calm, don’t rush any decisions but do keep up with the speed limit when possible and try and enjoy the drive.
It's great to hear the videos helped! Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
Best 2 tips that helped pass last year was:
1) deal with the task at hand, one junction at a time
2) you can always try again. Even if I fail, I can just do it again, it's not live or die.
Got my driving test tomorrow, these tips helped me a lot and lowered my nervousness. Thank you !
You got this! If you think you failed just keep on going!
good luck
Good luck tomorrow Wildbandit!
Good luck man 👍
Good luck!!
Mr. Richard! I’ve just passed my exam with a couple of minors. I’ve learn everything and all only from your channel! You’re the best instructor people could ever imagine to have! Thank you very much!!!!!
That's really great to hear! Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
The one tip I can give you is to not stress about your test I passed 16th of November thinking it was gonna be super hard but was the easiest thing ever.
They say the test lasts about 38 mins but felt like 5 minutes.
Before you know it your back at the test centre
Congratulations! I have a question if you don't mind me asking: my driving instructor is super nice, but also super picky and makes me feel like I'm not a good enough driver, I have my test next Monday. Do you think the examiners are super picky? Thank you in advance!! 🙏🏾
@@maryigbinosax__4878 my instructor was quite strict aswell but she was just trying to burn what I gotta do when on test into my head so I don't mess it up, so when you come to test it's like muscle memory and you pass. But most examiners are pretty good as long as your a safe driver and they can see that your not going to be a risk to other drivers they are pretty chill as its your life and others that can be affected if they give a license to a unsafe driver.
But when on test don't think about it just drive like you've been taught, I completely forgot I was on test I just spent the hole time talking to my examiner. Just keep checking mirrors that's the main one 👌
@@maryigbinosax__4878 mine was too but its way easier that way and will make ur test easier imo, if ur lessons harder than test and thats all you hvae been doing test will be ezpz
My girlfriend has been telling me I don't know when to commit for years! Glad I found this video
😂
Got my test in 2 days im looking over these videos 1 last time to make sure im not doing anything stupid. Wish me luck
Update, DVLA cancelled it and I give up, they making me pay for their fuck up I will figure it out in September
Wonderful advice Richard. Especially your final tip: “don’t take your test if your instructor says you’re not ready!”
Hi, I passed my exam yesterday first time. I was really scared and your videos actually helped a lot 🙏 appreciate the videos that you’re doing and I wish all the best to people who has exams coming up. Don’t worry, you’ll pass! 💪
That's great to hear, congratulations on passing your driving test yesterday!
I got mine coming up in 4 days and I have been watching Richard videos and most people who watch it pass, so am telling myself that am one of them too that will pass first time!!!!
@@marcusjohnson5933 did uuu pass
Passed today with four minors. Honestly, never been so happy in my life. Thanks a lot mate, these videos are a real life saver ❤
I've been driving for just over 2 years now and whenever i make a small error i still always end up reflecting at the end of the day and state that being more chilled out and not rushing will make me more observant. The next day it works.
I stalled 4 times in a row on a very steep junction during my test. I stayed calm, tried to forget about it right away and still passed.
Well done for staying calm, it must have been difficult.
Passed my driving test just over a month ago and I feel more confident that I've ever been behind the wheel. I still find it useful to watch these kinds of videos to help refine my driving as I get more experienced. Keep up the good work!
Passed my manual driving test today with no faults. Watched this video last night and followed it to the tee, it is perfect! All your videos helped me so much more than any driving instructor! God bless you Richard, you are amazing, keep up the great work.
That's fantastic to hear, thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
Holy cow! Passed my driving test yesterday here in Denmark. Your videos have helped me a ton. They are all very useful, concise, to the point and you've covered a lot of the areas of driving that are essential to know and exercise. You've honestly been my second driving instructor and I hope your channel grows well. Thank you from Denmark :)
Looking forward to keep improving my driving!
That's really nice to hear, thank you and congratulations on passing your driving test!
Thanks for the time and effort that you put into these videos Richard. I took passed my test today on the first attempt, with only 2 minors thanks to your videos.
Good luck to all who have a test coming up. I'm rooting for you!
Congratulations on passing!
Hi Richard, hope all is well. Just would like to thank you for all the excellent content you provide. You've definitely helped to improve my driving and you're making a difference to many other drivers. You're a great teacher and your videos are very easy to understand and very well explained. You deserve every success and I'm glad that people recognise what great information you put out. That's why you're now a global teacher, not just for the Colchester area! Wishing you all the best, Zach
That's really nice to hear, thank you.
Had my test today and passed first time! Been watching your videos for a while and watched this one this morning before my test. Your videos have really helped me thank you!

US viewer here. Thanks to your videos, I was able to drive a manual while I was traveling in Europe! Only stalled a couple times but I think I “passed” the test for manual! Looking forward to driving a manual again!
I watched this on the day of my test and it really helped me. I passed with 1 minor. Thank you very much. Keep up the good work
I passed my test 2 weeks ago, but I'm still watching these to boost my driving knowledge :)
That's so nice to hear, congratulations on passing!
im an experienced driver from the US who had to move to England and redo all my driving. since i had been driving for over 10 years, it was absolutely frustrating. your videos helped me focus on the differences in driving that i was missing. and your calm demeanor really helped me relax and know that im a good driver. i passed today, and i couldnt have done it without you
Hi Richard, just passed my test today in London. Thank you so much for your excellent videos. You are truly a lifesaver for some!
That's great news, congratulations on passing!
Iv got my test this November on the 15th, these videos are absolutely fantastic, November is what my instructor advised me to book it on so I’m happy with that, it’s about 5months away but that gives me plenty time to crack on with more lessons and get the most and best information and advice from your videos, win win!😀🤟
Passed my test today. Your videos played a large role in my preparation. Thanks a lot Richard.
That's great news, congratulations on passing!
Just wanted to say thank you for such amazing videos. I've passed my test last Saturday with 5 minors!!! Though I had a driving licence years ago in my home country I was really worried about the bad habits I've acquire overtime and driving on the other side but watching your videos make me feel really confident and gave me some great tips to make things easier like parking.
Thanks again.
Congratulations on passing! I'm happy to hear the videos helped 😊
Thank you for all the good tips, you helped more than my instructor in driving and prepping for my test.
I have passed my driving for the first try with two minors only! :)
That's great to hear! Congratulations on passing!
I found your videos really helpful. I passed on first attempt on Tuesday. I'll still keep watching your videos because I'm sure I'll want to refresh a few things as I go along.
That's great to hear, congratulations on passing!
I just passed my test. Thank you for your videos, they really helped calm me down and reduce my nerves!
Just passed my test and it really wouldn't do not to post a comment with my heartfelt thanks. I get really nervous with tests, and as a consequence get overwhelmed and foggy in my mind about what to do when. Your videos with their clarity, well-thought-out-ness and cheerful confident vibe were wonderfully helpful to me. Big big thanks!
That's great to hear. Congratulations on passing!
Just passed my driving test today your vidoes really helped me a lot sending lot's of love from Zimbabwe

Good luck next week!
@@ConquerDriving thank you so much! I’m going to need it😂😂 se nervous
watched this video to hype me up this morning and just passed with 2 minors - thank you so much for sharing your wisdom in such an accessible way!!
Great list to look just a say before driving tests as it covers all the critical things a new learner needs.
Having mine next week. Wanna thank you for your very informative content that has helped me throughout my lessons!!!!
Good luck for next week!
Passed my test a couple of days ago first time, your videos really helped. Thank you
That's fantastic news, congratulations on passing!
These are good driving tips in general. Also, it is interesting how you can be fast by being slow when driving.
If you approach junctions more slowly you have more time to decide and plan an opportunity so you're lwss likely to stop. Also when learning, if you do things slowly you will learn more quickly with less stress.
just passed with 5 driving faults, 2nd attempt, thank you for everything
That's great news! Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
Thanks mate, you videos are very informative and precise. Passed my test first time today.
That's great news, congratulations on passing!
Another great video, thanks always Rich!
Since I started watching this video I have learnt alot am enjoying the videos,well said n understanding.Driving has been my dream n soon will start
Thanks for the video, it really uplifted my hope of passing tomorrow.💪🏾🙏🏽
Good luck!
Passed with 2 minors today 05.12.2023. Thanks for your videos. They helped me a lot!
Great videos, so useful! You explain everything so well.
Richard, you are a top man. I literally found your videos yesterday evening, and followed everything you said in this video, and your clutch management one (is struggles consistently with this) - I passed today, first time, with just 3 minors!
Your videos are informative, concise and humorous - thank you! Keep up the great work! 🙌🏿
That's great news! Congratulations on passing!
Well done 👏
I hadn't seen this upload which would have been great for extra prep, I gave up 10 years ago after failing twice but today I had my third driving test and passed with 1 minor fault, largely credited to the videos provided by you Richard. I personally was nervous due to expecting the test to be disorganised and lengthy, but your other video on what to expect in a test made it a whole lot easier.
It's so good to hear the videos helped. Congratulations on passing!
Wow I have learned more watching this video than being out with an instructor. Thank-you
Thank you for all the videos, passed today! Only 3 minors, you are a wonderful teacher Richard
That's great news, congratulations!
You there man deserve couple beers. Thank you so much.

Hello Richard, I hope you are well. I've been one of your silent viewers here for almost a year now, even before I had clicked the subscribe button, I always visit your channel everyday and watch your videos🥰. Today I have just passed my driving test (first attempt with only 1 minor fault). I am still overwhelmed with joy and excitement as I type this message (it would probably take me a week or so to calm down 😁). I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart, as your videos, along with my instructors tremendous help and support as well, have helped me towards my driving test success today! Bless you a million times and thank you so, so much! 🥰🍾🥂🎉🏅🚘 xx
That's really great to hear! Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
Been watching for months, and watching this before my test today, thanks for everything Richard If I do pass.
Good luck!
@@ConquerDriving failed 😢
hi, I'm here to thank you for helping me pass my driving test with 2 minor errors relating to mirror checks, its very easy to forget to check centre mirror when breaking as nerves would get the best of you. I want to thank you for teaching me what my driving instructors failed inform me. keep up with the good infromative videos 😁
Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
Thank you very much for your videos. I passed my test 1st time. Watching your videos really helped me build confidence. God bless
Highly recommended 👌 👍
That's great to hear, congratulations on passing!
Passed my test today in one attempt with 2 minors. Thank you Conquer Driving. Your videos are super helpful.
That's fantastic! Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
I was meant to have my practical in January but managed to rebook it for tomorrow morning, now im just watching all your videos to make sure I know everything, hopefully I'll pass, wish me luck.
Got my test tomorrow too, best of luck mate💪
@@benwright9260 good luck bro 💪
I hope it went well!
watching from the UAE! much appreciated!
I got my test on Friday and I cannot explain the anxiety, I literally just want to cry and change my test but at the same time I want to do it! I have been practicing a lot and the videos are helping me so much!
Got mine on Friday too, good luck, I hope we both pass
Good luck! mines a week today, keep me updated
Yeh I know you literally just have to control your nerves and you’ll pass because that’s what makes or breaks the test day, be patient don’t rush and after 5 mins you should feel more relaxed
I have my test friday its my second try.it was my nervous last time my driving instructor has told me to just picture the examiner naked 😂
@@leethorpe9368 yeh does that method work then ?
Thank you very much for your video. I learnt driving in Hong Kong with a terrible instructor and got 1 take pass today. Most of the skills, theories and tips was learnt from your video. Counted roughly watched almost a hundred of it.
You do expertise in knowing what was facing with a learner and how to solve. Name some: (1) how to position your car in the middle of the lane (2) where to look at when turning left or right (3) when to commit (in this video).
Great job and thank you again!
I'm happy to hear the videos helped. Congratulations on passing!
I passed today with 1 minor, thank you for the tips and advice
I passed back in October but in the lead up I found your videos so helpful. Passed with 2 minors first try!
That's great to hear. Congratulations on passing!
my test is just over a month away, thanks for this video! would love a video about how to deal with driving test nerves too
It is a video I would like to do. Good luck with your test.
Thanks for this video I have my 3rd driving test next week as always it was very helpful
Good luck for next week!

@@ConquerDriving Thank You Richard
Congratulations! I have my third this week 🤣
@@milliehwilkes1 good luck on your test 👊🏽
@@milliehwilkes1 thanks bro
Survived my test yesterday with only 3 minors, this channel definitely helped.
I hope I will meet you to thank you for the great support that you give to people,
Your videos are quality. I watched your driving test video and roundabout video before my test. I failed on my first attempt but managed to book another test a week after and passed on my second attempt. Your videos helped me a lot, a long with DGN driving videos. I would pay you some money if you had a patreon or something because you’ve basically saved me loads of cash from using an instructor. I just got a family member to go out with me in my own car and used TH-cam to practice driving
That's so great to hear, congratulations on passing!
@@ConquerDriving Thanks. I still struggle on new roads and spiral round abouts and ring roads. Haven't been on a motorway yet either.
Thank you so much for your videos. I have successfully cleared my test today.👏👏👏
That's fantastic news, congratulations on passing!
Invaluable advice.
This is so informative thank you
Can you imagine I mastered driving by watching most of the videos from this channel.Didn't waste my money in driving schools.
I'm happy the videos helped. There has been a few people who have said that in the comments now. Goes to show you do the learning, the teacher can only help so much.
Wanted to thank you for your videos. I moved to the UK from the US this year and needed to get my license but couldn't find an instructor with availability. I watched some of your videos and found them helpful. Passed me test on the first try last week. Appreciate the advice I got from your channel.
Welcome to the UK and congratulations on passing!
My test is on Tuesday these have helped so much!
Good luck!
