Really appreciate that you have made a Croydon video as I havent come across one and i have my test the 2 weeks in croydon. hopefully we get another test route shown soon. 🙏🏽
You're welcome!! I love Croydon test centre it's got a couple of tricky bits but it's not hard to drive around and the examiners are nice there. Good luck you'll be fine!! 😊
@@DrivingSchoolTV Just got back from my mock test. My instructor got a new car so was my first time driving it. This was a bit off putting but I managed to pass with 2 minors. heres hoping my actual test goes just as good! :)
@@DrivingSchoolTV Pleased to say that I passed my driving test ( 1st time pass )! today at croydon test centre with 2 minor faults! Thank you so much for your videos. These really helped prepare me for my test and my future in driving. :)
I have my test today in Croydon, thanks so much for the video it was super helpful! It was nice to know other people share the pain of Lombard roundabout 😂 Unfortunately this isn’t my first test, and my theory expires this week. So here’s hoping today is the day!
Haha yes lombard roundabout is one a lot of people have trouble with especially when it's really busy. Be confident you can do it!! Let me know how it goes ☺️
The Driving School TV unfortunately I didn’t pass. I can’t seem to get over the nerves of being in a test condition. I’m a confident driver, but I’ll have a moment of panic in a test that makes me do something wrong. Never in lessons, only in the test. Silly mistake today.
The Driving School TV I haven’t tried those, but I definitely will! It’s at the point where I need to do something about it. I was just coming off the dual carriageway, and the pedestrian crossing went amber as I got to it, I panicked and slammed the brakes on. Really I should have driven through.
Yeah definitely give them a go works wonders for some people! If the anxiety is unbearable your gp is also a very good option to talk it though with and they might be able to prescribe something for you.
The minor I think was that you had to go straight at the roundabout 2nd exit but you were signalling left which indicates you are taking the first exit to your left.
Always more test routes coming! Morden is next then another video with ama and i can plan a video for Croydon after. Sub to the channel and you'll catch it soon!
You didn’t turn the signal off after you switched lanes with means other road users would of thought you was coming off first exit. Wouldn’t that of been a fail? Because I got a serious for doing that on my test
You got it!! 👏 sorry to hear you failed! Have you rebooked? I feel like the safety consequences of the signal were kinda low because there weren't any cars to react to or be confused by my incorrect signal but for sure in another situation the same mistake could be a fail
@ Francis. 8:37 Please tell me the minor fault was the left indicator staying on before emerging onto roundabout when you're going straight (well in theory straight ahead.. :/. No need to indicate at that point when entering as 2nd exit)..? Still loving the videos! You have a brilliant way of engaging your viewers! Much appreciated.
YES!!! Well done :) I tried to cancel the signal but it didnt cancel. So I entered the roundabout going second exit with a left signal... whoops! Thanks for watching 😀
@@DrivingSchoolTV thanks @ Francis. Have my Croydon test in November and watching your video. More on 'massive' roundabouts would be amazing! Wish I could do a mock with yourself but automatic learning :/. Thanks for the Croydon walk through.. Will be watching over and over till then.
@@DrivingSchoolTV I started my lessons recently and my instructor said: never use the right hand to signal. That's why I am asking if I do, can the examiner have a note on that?
Hi! With most cars it's pretty simple. you should change around every ten mph. so 1st gear takes you from 0-1 2nd gear takes you from 10-20, 3rd gear takes you from 20-30. Depending on how many gears your car has the speed range of 4th 5th and 6th could vary. Hope this helps!
Francisco! Cool name!! There’s no map showing the speed limits but this video might help if you get stuck realising what speed you should be going th-cam.com/video/9nxujrET3RY/w-d-xo.html
Hey Don, Good question! There are usually around 15 different routes at test centres but routes are regularly reviewed, changed, added or scrapped due to local traffic changes so it's hard to say exactly how many they have at any one time.
Towards Purley Way from Thornton Road is straight ahead so you SHOULD be in the left lane. Having said that the roundabout approach from Thornton Road has straight arrows on both lanes so you wont be penalised for using the right lane. But it's definitely more difficult and you definitely wont be taught to go straight from the right lane on driving lessons.
Hah nice guess man! It’s a normal roundabout there aren’t any spirals painted on it. I was signaling left from the lane change and forgot to cancel it to go straight 🤦♂️
@@DrivingSchoolTV I made 2 mistakes 😭 I made a wrong turn and then the second one was I didn’t realise the light turned red n my car was positioned in front of a turning road 🤦🏻♀️ THATS it ... I wish I could if fixed it 😭🥺 coz nobody in my house has a car n I was the first to pass 🤦🏻♀️ now I have to wait until 2 of December to book it again 🤦🏻♀️
Have my test in Croydon tomorrow morning. Never drove in Croydon, had to choose as there’s no tests available. Also not using my normal car as he’s not available. But I’m confident. Let’s see what happens in the morning
The Driving School TV I may or may not be binge watching your videos to prepare me for my test! 😂Honestly so good at explaining things thank you so much for your uploads!!👌

FRANCIS THANK YOU!!!! 😭🙏🏽 your videos helped me pass my test first time round today, was almost the same route as in the video too
🙌 congrats Steve well done!! 🤩🎊🤗🍾🎉

Omg that's so lucky well done congrats!!!

Aah no that's a shame. What happened? Nerves are a really big problem with driving tests. Have you tried kalms or rescue remedy?
The Driving School TV I haven’t tried those, but I definitely will! It’s at the point where I need to do something about it. I was just coming off the dual carriageway, and the pedestrian crossing went amber as I got to it, I panicked and slammed the brakes on. Really I should have driven through.

This video is so helpful I've got my driving test in Croydon next week! I'm sooo nervous!!

how did your test go?
You’re One Awesome driving Instructor. Just over the top.
Many thanks for tips. You’re a Star
I felt like you were literally talking to me 😭 i was nodding everytime you reassured me😂
😂 I am literally talking to you and anyone Else with a driving test !! Glad you found the video helpful ☺️
I have my test tomorrow morning... My test is at 9am though 😬 Thank you for such an useful video!!
Good luck!! Let us know how it goes!! 🤞
Ahh this was so useful!! Any chance of more videos of Croydon?
Always more test routes coming! Morden is next then another video with ama and i can plan a video for Croydon after. Sub to the channel and you'll catch it soon!
@@DrivingSchoolTV perfect! :)
8:03 - Should you not use the middle lane to go straight? There were 3 lanes entering the roundabout and the left one seems to go only left.
Nice video bud 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻💯 I’ve got my second test in Croydon tomorrow . 9 am 😂😂😂 I’m having an hour lesson before hand 🙋♂️
Good luck Glenn! 🤞🤞🤞
Let us know how you get on!!

@@DrivingSchoolTV thanks! Itching to do the test!! Will just have to patiently wait and keep learning/improving I guess! Will update, of course.
9:43 I don't know if signalling that way considered as a fault? as you should do it with two fingers of your left hand.
I’ve never heard that one before in my life! Is that what your instructor teaches you??!
@@DrivingSchoolTV I started my lessons recently and my instructor said: never use the right hand to signal. That's why I am asking if I do, can the examiner have a note on that?
Hi sir, can you pls explain how to change gears for the appropriate speed limits
Hi! With most cars it's pretty simple. you should change around every ten mph. so 1st gear takes you from 0-1 2nd gear takes you from 10-20, 3rd gear takes you from 20-30. Depending on how many gears your car has the speed range of 4th 5th and 6th could vary. Hope this helps!
Im taking my test on the 24th of august any advice for croydon at around 8 in the morning?
They wont take you places where you'll get stuck in traffic :) Just be ready for anything but you don't need to do anything special
@@DrivingSchoolTV thank you!! Tyres and tarmac ;)
Hello Francis how is there any map for croyden like on which road I must go on which speed.
Francisco! Cool name!! There’s no map showing the speed limits but this video might help if you get stuck realising what speed you should be going

Do you book driving test ??
Hello TDS , how many test routes are there at croydon test centre please ?
Hey Don, Good question! There are usually around 15 different routes at test centres but routes are regularly reviewed, changed, added or scrapped due to local traffic changes so it's hard to say exactly how many they have at any one time.
15:444 "Any other hand signal is inappropriate"....I wonder what hand signal you could be talking about? lol
🖕😂
Is the third exit in Lombard round about a left or right lane?
Coming from which direction?
Same as in the video
Towards Purley Way from Thornton Road is straight ahead so you SHOULD be in the left lane. Having said that the roundabout approach from Thornton Road has straight arrows on both lanes so you wont be penalised for using the right lane. But it's definitely more difficult and you definitely wont be taught to go straight from the right lane on driving lessons.
You should have been in the middle lane crossing the roundabout because it's a spiral roundabout. That's the minor I think
Hah nice guess man! It’s a normal roundabout there aren’t any spirals painted on it. I was signaling left from the lane change and forgot to cancel it to go straight 🤦♂️
Do mitcham please
Done!
