I failed the first time, the examiner said everything else was fine except I didn’t check my left blindspot which resulted in 3 strikes which why I didn’t get my P’s, going again in a week, hopefully I can master it before then
Just passed mine, first time thankfully. My instructor said think like you're a limo driver driving a VIP, you want it to be a smooth drive with smooth accelerating and braking. During the test I didn't look at the instructor once and didn't make any general convo, I treated them like google maps giving me directions and I wasn't nervous at all during the test. As others have said, exaggerate head checks and just take your time with everything.
I have mine tomorrow and I'm scared af. Seeing this video gives me a bit of relief of what will really happen. Thank you for posting! edit: Sadly, I failed. To all those who will test please exaggerate your head checks because the tester might miss it. They said I didn't do head check before turning but I did. Second mistake, was my mistake. Asked me to pull up to the curb for stage one, signalled and I failed because I didn't wait at least 3 seconds after signalling before pulling to the curb. Please learn from me edit2: I had completely forgotten about this comment. But I am glad to say that I passed! Number one tip given to me:Think as if you are driving with someone you love. Make the trip safe. Don't think that you're being tested. Focus on making the drive safely and efficiently. In the end, you and the driver's goal is to make it home safely. it helped me
@@nikomangmonarosita6894 I have an overseas license. Since I failed my test, I can't use that license to legally drive. I can still book my driving test but I can't do it solo (must have someone to drive you to vicroads). You don't have to do the Learner's and the hazard's. But I will have to get a Learner's permit (and wait for 3 months to book a driving test) so I could drive legally.
From a commercial driver, very smooth driving, excellent and clear instructions from the tester. Only point I would like to bring up, and I hope the tester mentioned this after the drive, use your indicator, but don’t wear it out. If you are turning into a turning lane, and there is multiple driveways along that turn section, indicate to enter the turn lane, then turn the indicator off until closer to the actual turn, so less skilled drivers don’t think you are turning into one of the driveways and go to pass you. This “Correct” distancing will come to you with experience. Nice move asking if you could reverse park at the end, as the tester hadn’t asked you to do one. This shows initiative, and ticks all the boxes of a test scenario. I’m glad they didn’t ask you to do a three point turn line I had to do decades ago, as there is no harm in going around a block to go the other way. It’s also safer, and less potential to obstruct traffic.
Hi thanks for the tips. I actually used my indicators earlier during the test to avoid failing due to late signalling. I'll take note of that on my day to day driving 😊 I actually did a three point turn anw on 9:25. Really appreciate your feedback!
@@kageroboi Good thinking. I assumed that is why you did it. In the long run, more warning is better than late warning. So many people get into the habit of hitting the indicators as they turn or change lanes. Not a good habit when sharing the roads with trucks. I highly approve of your smooth driving. Keep it up, and you will likely be ignored by bored cops. 🤣
Thanks Devin! I appreciate you recording this! My anxiety was through the roof until I watched your video the night before the test and thanks to your video I was able to calm down! I passed 1st try :) - I went straight to my greens because of my age…
In my driving test years ago I did reverse parallel park between cones. He said make the car safe so park, handbrake etc. sat there for a minute, then told to pull out and drive back to testing centre. In that pause, I lost a point. I couldn’t believe it. Sitting there in park with handbrake on, I had my foot on the brake. I lost a point for unnecessary wear and tear on the brake lights!!!! 🤦♂️
I know you've heard this a lot, but it's really good to see someone has shown a video of what the test is really like. I have mine tomorrow and the nerves are creeping in, mainly due to not knowing what to expect. I only just learnt yesterday Vicroads don't provide the cars and you bring your own... and that the reverse park is a reverse parallel park and not into a square parking lot. Really appreciate this more than you think man, cheers
Well... I failed in a school zone. Apparently everything else was a okay, but on the last set of lights I apparently went 50 in a school zone... I swear on my mum, my dog and all of my friends there was no "flashing red lights" or else my glasses would've glared them and I wouldn't have missed them. My dashcam doesn't seem to have captured the drive but I'll insist until the day I die there was no school zone
@@stephenpodgorski2807 not all school zones have flashing red lights, you should've known it was school zone hours and not have relied on the flashing red lights.

Wish my examiner was like this. The examiner I got for my VORT was some old Italian guy with a thick accent and nearly failed me because I "wasn't listening" when in reality I couldn't understand what he was saying half of the time. I still passed, managed to scrape through with a score of 91%.
First 10 mins were in the factory area beside vic roads, then they took me to the residential area across the road, and then the road around vicroads. That's it, we didn't go too far or on gippsland hwy.
Hi, thanks for sharing the video with us. I have one questions, 19:53 when you were going to turn left, you parked your car after the zebra crossing, can you see the oncoming vehicles from your left? as I have known, we can stop our car along the line if there is no pedestrians.
Hi, the oncoming vehicles are from my right so i just make sure left side is free from bikes and pedestrians. Yes we can stop on the zebra cross however i didn't know how long will i have to wait there until it's safe for me to merge. Im afraid if i stop on the zebra cross someone suddenly pops up would like to cross and im blocking their way, i think it's best to prevent that situation happening.

@@scottyboyinoz8688 It was really happy, and the instructor, a lady, was pretty patient and her instruction was very clear. The route was easy to me that I drove 35 min. It was rush hour and raining , so the most of the time was in residential areas, and main road traffic was very slow my speed was not even over 50. Overall, it was not as terrible as I expected. Take it easy, you will be fine. Good luck to yours!!
Great driving! But like other commenters said, you indicate incredibly early to the point it can confuse other drivers. When I was learning, I was always told to start indicating two houses away. Assuming you'll be on your Green P's now and have nailed all this already though. Awesome job :D
I’m about to throw up because my driving test is next week at Ringwood and I’m terrified 😭 just hoping I pass because I’m sick of not being able to drive. Thank you for the video! Somehow, it helped me calm my nerves a little.
Just let you all know that the instructor even if the made a mistake in directing you 8:48 you should expect a distraction from passengers and you need to show them you're in control of the situation. stay calm and in control you will be a good safe driver. I would like instructors to deliberately give you false direction like turn right at a no right turn, or go through a No entry sign, or even make a u turn on an unbroken line to test your skills. as a driver you should follow direction of instructor if it's safe and legal. ignore everything else. because a lot of accidents occur from passengers who give directions. otherwise it was a good driving test I must say. you're relaxed, friendly, and smooth. I can tell by the camera and your conversation with the instructor.
Very good smooth driving. I would indicate a bit later when approaching a turn. You will confuse drivers coming out from the driveways. Also, when moving in to a turning lane, indicate and then once in the lane, turn off the indicator and put it back on to execute the turn. Other than that all good.
Thank you so much for posting this video. It was immensely helpful as I prepared for my driving test. And it gave me the confidence to pass the test in the first go! Thank you. God bless 🙏
Hi I was just wondering with the bookings, when did you book it in and was availability limited? Also When were you able to book in your hazard perception test? Thanks
It was harder to book for a knowledge test actually. I booked the driving test right after they re-open bookings after covid break. The earliest ones were in 6-8 weeks and Dandenong was one of the earliest i could book.
Good Luck and drive safe ! Try to indicate your signals just before the turnings, not 2, 3 lanes before the turning lane please, you might confuse other drivers on the road.
Its a good video Devin, it gave me an idea how the actual driving is, your Testing Officer seems to be nice lady. I wish I could have the same opportunity, i am scared
Hi Devin. I thought it might be interesting to create and see a map of your drive. Stage one was around 3km and the total drive a little over 13km. If you're interested, happy to provide a link to the map. I've been driving for a long time but found it interesting to see I've been doing one thing wrong so your video taught me something. Thank you.
Oh wow thank you that's amazing Kelvin, yeah sure if you can share it to our friends here that'll be awesome! May I know what was it that you've been doing wrong? Could be things for me to focus on while driving too. :)
@@kageroboi In terms of what I thought I was doing wrong it's how I approach the pedestrian crossing in a slip lane. At 19:37 you can see you stop short of the pedestrian crossing. I've seen another person/learner do the same. When I tried that recently (always willing to learn) I found I wasn't able to see the cars for the cross traffic so it wasn't safe. What I do is approach the pedestrian crossing, give way if there's anyone waiting to cross and then proceed slowly to where the road crosses, checking to see if there's any cars coming and give way to all cars. If there's no one at the pedestrian crossing I continue to drive and stop at the crossing road and that means I'm often over the pedestrian crossing when giving way to traffic. After reading information on the VicRoad's site I believe my approach is right so not wrong as I thought. You can move forward over the pedestrian crossing area to better view the traffic (of course giving way to pedestrians if they're there). I still need to check the actual laws as it's the law that matters, not necessarily what VicRoads writes on their site. By the way you should be proud of yourself. In your video you drove well, confidently and asked questions of the instructor and only once did the instructor not give further information as they were testing your judgement. When I was tested the instructor sat in the back and when performing a reverse parallel park obscured my view making it harder for me. Instructors seem much better now and that was good to see. Thanks
@@kelvineldridge Exactly! It's not wrong to be stopping on the pedestrian crossing as long as we're not blocking any pedestrians / cyclists. In my daily driving I do the same thing as you do. Stopping behind the pedestrian crossing sometimes gives the view a bit too far and our view might have been blocked by some street sign poles / traffic light poles / pedestrians, which is also unsafe. However on the drive test itself I try to be less flexible and more stick to the rule as I dont want to be bothered failing the test. Thanks for sharing!
@@kageroboi Yes, best to pass the test and over compensate. E.g. people often exaggerate head movements so the tester knows you're doing all the right checks. I also posted a link to the map which TH-cam or yourself may have rejected. That's OK. I built the map as it interested me. One more thing I learnt from my/your comments I thought I'd share in case it helps, is I couldn't find the comment I made. Quite perplexing. The comment appeared quite a long way done the comments. Comment order is by default by "Top" whatever that means. I prefer latest first as the most recent to me is more relevant. I'll review that settings on my TH-cam videos. To see the first comments from a year ago looks like there's no current interest in the video. There's also a Sort option I can use on each public TH-cam video which I didn't notice and will now use as well. Always learning. Thanks.
I have my test in a month or two but ironically I am a motorcycle instructor in melbourne haha! I now understand how nervous my students must feel!! Hopefully I pass but I will take the same approach that I tell my students to take, if I fail then it is because I was not safe and hopefully the feedback I am given will allow me to fix it and then pass when I am safer, if I pass then hopefully I am safe :) Good video, I am shocked they let you record as during our assessments students are not allowed photos or videos haha.
I must cam here to watch a you tube, My daughter is going for her driving test, she watched a small portion of this video, I had to hit play and see where we come to in the 20th centaury. back 35 years a go i remember my driving instructor put $20 in the glove box for the assessor. didn't know anything about it and thought this is a fee. until I asked why? he said even if you didn't do a mistake and 100% pass he will fail you if you didn't give them a tip. that's what he called it anyway.
If this is an example of a typical Vic Roads driving test then anyone with a basic understanding of road rules and head checks driving automatic should pass first go each time. Most of the turns were left turns, there were no rights turns that were actually busy requiring skill. The one that was you get to wait in the middle. There were no right turns at lights without green arrows. Unfortunately we didn't get to see if the test applicant was doing any head checks. The testing officer also was telling the test applicant what the speed limit was. Alot of the roads were devoid of traffic but this could have been due to Covid lock downs.
I have my test today in Pakenham, I live in dandenong but did test there due to covid restrictions, i hope I pass , as I’m international driver license holder . Wish me luck buddy
@@rizawanaanmol716 sorry to hear :c! Hopefully next time! And yeah I was told about just working on my head checks which I did do but probably didn’t exaggerate.
@@rizawanaanmol716 yeah i passed i managed to do a really good 3 point turn, though the supervisor on my test was very nice Maybe you just had an unlucky one?
haha I just had my first driving lesson today, after 20 mins I was able to generally steer the car and control the pedals by myself. Hopefully I will learn reversing and parking etc in the coming few lessons, before practising my 120 hours!
Did the driver of the vehicle comply with Australian Road Rules - Regulation 33 (3)(a) "passes as near as practicable to the right of the centre of the intersection"? See 16:11 in the video.
That regulation is basically another way of saying that oncoming vehicles that are turning right should pass each other nearside-to-nearside (as opposed to offside-to-offside as done in some European countries). In any case, this regulation does not apply anyway as the intersection has marked turning lines.
Yes I was blessed to have her as my testing officer! However if you miss the turn please don't worry and don't make sudden braking / turns. You're being tested from how safe you're driving.
Good luck! I was also nervous before the drive test but dont let it affect your driving awareness. Keep calm, dont panic and dont rush. They dont mark your driving based on how fast you're going. You just need to drive as safe as you can 😊 so take your time
Hi, this was recorded by a dashcam mounted on my windscreen. The brand is 70mai, it was the earlier model so you may purchaser the newer ones which has better resolution
I’ve got two weeks til mine; I’m so nervous. My gf doesn’t know I’m taking it and if I pass I’m picking her up from work as a surprise. I think the most nerve racking thing about failing is how long it’s going to take to get another test due to covid.. :(
@@GruntildaAU ah yeah! They're very busy now since they postpone everyone's test due to the pandemic. I hope you pass your test, dont worry too much and dont try to drive quick, all you need is to drive as safe as possible.
What a easy test! I passed in UK 2 months ago , but is more harder, examiner will not tell you the speed limit ever and on which line should you be.The whole test is 40 minutes, 20 minutes is independent driving, this could be follow sat nav or follow signs, and 20 minutes the examiner will direct you
They usually don't tell it here either, but you can get an easy assessor (this) or a ridiculously strict one. I had both, it makes a lot of difference lol. And the test differs from state to state. I think this is easy too.
Thanks! The car speedometer wasn't visible from the passenger side, she can only see 120kmh above 😅. So she had to monitor my speed using a seperate app.
@@kageroboi Devin .. So it was you who choose to reverse park or the Instructor instructed? As i am having mine next month i am not used to reverse parking...
Dont let your nervousness affect your driving. Keep calm :) practice and learn difficult scenarios. Dont rush as they dont see how quick youre driving, they just want to see how safe youre driving.
@@Hala-yr5oc hello the route was just around the industrial area. Not a busy route so was good. Just practice the reverse parking that’s the most important. My driving instructor was with me as I used his car so it helped me 😆
@@kageroboi do they check both eyes or both together? Cause I left my glasses overseas my right eye is 20/20 vision left not bad it’s just decent. I see rlly well regardless. Hopefully it’s not a hard single eye test.
@@ace_stealth251ace9 Both at a time. Well you just need to tell the officer the small alphabets sticking on the wall behind him. If you cant tell him the correct ones then I dont think you'll be able to pass the eye test. Its around 3-5 meters away from where you stand :)
Does anyone know if using my own car (I'm holding international driving license), do I have to display L plates or Vicroads will provide at testing place? I'm having my test next Monday, thank you!!
Hi Kristie, I'm sorry for the late reply. I did have L plates on my car during the test. But i dont think it's a must since you held an overseas full license. How was the test?
@@olfats143 extremely easy, only thing I needed to improve on was head checks even though I head checked everything maybe it was just something the tester wanted to write down haha

@@michaelbelivanis535 can share ur drive test experience and how was the traffic at Ringwood?
@@michaelbelivanis535 did u pass???
Just let you all know that the instructor even if the made a mistake in directing you 8:48 you should expect a distraction from passengers and you need to show them you're in control of the situation. stay calm and in control you will be a good safe driver. I would like instructors to deliberately give you false direction like turn right at a no right turn, or go through a No entry sign, or even make a u turn on an unbroken line to test your skills. as a driver you should follow direction of instructor if it's safe and legal. ignore everything else. because a lot of accidents occur from passengers who give directions. otherwise it was a good driving test I must say. you're relaxed, friendly, and smooth. I can tell by the camera and your conversation with the instructor.
Update: had my test this morning, I passed very grateful👍🏾🌟
@@YungGuapo_1 congratulations!! 😊
Very good smooth driving. I would indicate a bit later when approaching a turn. You will confuse drivers coming out from the driveways. Also, when moving in to a turning lane, indicate and then once in the lane, turn off the indicator and put it back on to execute the turn. Other than that all good.
Thank you so much for posting this video. It was immensely helpful as I prepared for my driving test.
And it gave me the confidence to pass the test in the first go!
Thank you. God bless 🙏
Thank you for your kind words Maria, glad you passed the test! Safe drives and God bless!
Soooo Nobody is going to noticed that there is a R34 3:04
i dont think anyone cares mate. its a 25gt anyways
Good work, smooth driving. Practice makes perfect 👍
Thanks Ben!
Hi I was just wondering with the bookings, when did you book it in and was availability limited? Also When were you able to book in your hazard perception test? Thanks
It was harder to book for a knowledge test actually. I booked the driving test right after they re-open bookings after covid break. The earliest ones were in 6-8 weeks and Dandenong was one of the earliest i could book.
Good Luck and drive safe ! Try to indicate your signals just before the turnings, not 2, 3 lanes before the turning lane please, you might confuse other drivers on the road.
Its a good video Devin, it gave me an idea how the actual driving is, your Testing Officer seems to be nice lady. I wish I could have the same opportunity, i am scared
I noted you'd been indicating much earlier than the three sec!!! I've been told 3sec before the turning.
thanks so much for your video. it reassured me on what to expect for my test and I passed :)
Thanks for your kind words, and congratulations!
I’m about to have my test in a couple of weeks as I’m gonna be turning 18 and I’m more nervous for that test than my vce exams 💀
I hope you pass man... I have mine next week, I'm shitting bricks.
@@UpYa966 It’s this Thursday and when I tell you I’m absolutely terrified its not even funny
@@Mr-Soza I have mine this Saturday, I feel your fear, I feel terrified as well
@@Mr-Soza did you pass?
@@UpYa966 yep with flying colours, I didn’t get a 3 point turn but it’s all good, you will be fine bro. Good luck!!
Why is there an R34 just chilling at the starts of the video
Instructor: at the end of the street turn left .
My brain: turn right and apologise.
Hi Devin. I thought it might be interesting to create and see a map of your drive. Stage one was around 3km and the total drive a little over 13km. If you're interested, happy to provide a link to the map. I've been driving for a long time but found it interesting to see I've been doing one thing wrong so your video taught me something. Thank you.
Oh wow thank you that's amazing Kelvin, yeah sure if you can share it to our friends here that'll be awesome! May I know what was it that you've been doing wrong? Could be things for me to focus on while driving too. :)
@@kageroboi In terms of what I thought I was doing wrong it's how I approach the pedestrian crossing in a slip lane. At 19:37 you can see you stop short of the pedestrian crossing. I've seen another person/learner do the same. When I tried that recently (always willing to learn) I found I wasn't able to see the cars for the cross traffic so it wasn't safe. What I do is approach the pedestrian crossing, give way if there's anyone waiting to cross and then proceed slowly to where the road crosses, checking to see if there's any cars coming and give way to all cars. If there's no one at the pedestrian crossing I continue to drive and stop at the crossing road and that means I'm often over the pedestrian crossing when giving way to traffic. After reading information on the VicRoad's site I believe my approach is right so not wrong as I thought. You can move forward over the pedestrian crossing area to better view the traffic (of course giving way to pedestrians if they're there). I still need to check the actual laws as it's the law that matters, not necessarily what VicRoads writes on their site. By the way you should be proud of yourself. In your video you drove well, confidently and asked questions of the instructor and only once did the instructor not give further information as they were testing your judgement. When I was tested the instructor sat in the back and when performing a reverse parallel park obscured my view making it harder for me. Instructors seem much better now and that was good to see. Thanks
@@kelvineldridge Exactly! It's not wrong to be stopping on the pedestrian crossing as long as we're not blocking any pedestrians / cyclists. In my daily driving I do the same thing as you do. Stopping behind the pedestrian crossing sometimes gives the view a bit too far and our view might have been blocked by some street sign poles / traffic light poles / pedestrians, which is also unsafe. However on the drive test itself I try to be less flexible and more stick to the rule as I dont want to be bothered failing the test. Thanks for sharing!
@@kageroboi Yes, best to pass the test and over compensate. E.g. people often exaggerate head movements so the tester knows you're doing all the right checks.
I also posted a link to the map which TH-cam or yourself may have rejected. That's OK. I built the map as it interested me.
One more thing I learnt from my/your comments I thought I'd share in case it helps, is I couldn't find the comment I made. Quite perplexing. The comment appeared quite a long way done the comments. Comment order is by default by "Top" whatever that means. I prefer latest first as the most recent to me is more relevant. I'll review that settings on my TH-cam videos. To see the first comments from a year ago looks like there's no current interest in the video. There's also a Sort option I can use on each public TH-cam video which I didn't notice and will now use as well. Always learning. Thanks.
I'd be happy to provide you with more information, I used to work there lol.
Have my test tomorrow, never been more anxious in my life. Hope this helps
How did you go? Hope you did well!
I have my test in a month or two but ironically I am a motorcycle instructor in melbourne haha! I now understand how nervous my students must feel!! Hopefully I pass but I will take the same approach that I tell my students to take, if I fail then it is because I was not safe and hopefully the feedback I am given will allow me to fix it and then pass when I am safer, if I pass then hopefully I am safe :) Good video, I am shocked they let you record as during our assessments students are not allowed photos or videos haha.
does anyone know if i can still use my log book instead of the app
Yes you can still use your log book it doesn’t matter which one you use
@@williamatta5935 thank you :)
I must cam here to watch a you tube, My daughter is going for her driving test, she watched a small portion of this video, I had to hit play and see where we come to in the 20th centaury. back 35 years a go i remember my driving instructor put $20 in the glove box for the assessor. didn't know anything about it and thought this is a fee. until I asked why? he said even if you didn't do a mistake and 100% pass he will fail you if you didn't give them a tip. that's what he called it anyway.
If this is an example of a typical Vic Roads driving test then anyone with a basic understanding of road rules and head checks driving automatic should pass first go each time. Most of the turns were left turns, there were no rights turns that were actually busy requiring skill. The one that was you get to wait in the middle. There were no right turns at lights without green arrows. Unfortunately we didn't get to see if the test applicant was doing any head checks. The testing officer also was telling the test applicant what the speed limit was. Alot of the roads were devoid of traffic but this could have been due to Covid lock downs.
That’s about the easiest test route I’ve seen. They can be quite a bit more challenging than that.
I agree and feels like it is not an actual test
I have my test today in Pakenham, I live in dandenong but did test there due to covid restrictions, i hope I pass , as I’m international driver license holder . Wish me luck buddy
Did you pass :) i have mine tomorrow
@@HaiImKush no 😞😞 , she failed me purposely by saying I speed which I didn’t so that they won’t have to give me full license
@@rizawanaanmol716 sorry to hear :c!
Hopefully next time! And yeah I was told about just working on my head checks which I did do but probably didn’t exaggerate.
@@HaiImKush did you pass with that reason ??
@@rizawanaanmol716 yeah i passed i managed to do a really good 3 point turn, though the supervisor on my test was very nice
Maybe you just had an unlucky one?
Dude I have my drive test tomorrow. I’m freaking out 😭😭😭😭😭
Edit: I PASSEDDD THANK YOUUU❤️
Well done! 👍 Thanks for sharing.
haha I just had my first driving lesson today, after 20 mins I was able to generally steer the car and control the pedals by myself. Hopefully I will learn reversing and parking etc in the coming few lessons, before practising my 120 hours!
Wtf 120? Qld only has to do 100
Thanks for sharing. It was interesting to watch and also your tester was quite nice.
she was lovely, thanks for watching!
Did the driver of the vehicle comply with Australian Road Rules - Regulation 33 (3)(a) "passes as near as practicable to the right of the centre of the intersection"? See 16:11 in the video.
That regulation is basically another way of saying that oncoming vehicles that are turning right should pass each other nearside-to-nearside (as opposed to offside-to-offside as done in some European countries). In any case, this regulation does not apply anyway as the intersection has marked turning lines.
mine is on 13th of July in Werribee. In my pratice test I am making mistakes on roundbout and speed control. I am really scared, wish me good luck
It was very useful video thanks for sharing
what are front and back demistsers?
Hi Devin, when u stop you keep your indicator on. It is because in Melbourne?
Hi Fey, I think this applies everywhere 😊
Hi.can anyone upload the video of morolbark vicroads? I booked my test in morolbark.
Me too. Tomorrow 😰
Wish u all the best sachini.
Testing officer is very nice….tell you where is the road to so that you won’t miss it
Yes I was blessed to have her as my testing officer! However if you miss the turn please don't worry and don't make sudden braking / turns. You're being tested from how safe you're driving.
I got my test in 13hours, Pakenham East! Luckily I have a drive lesson with my fave instructor right before it, wish me luck guys 😭
How did you do?
@@edwardemanuel7675 I passed first go!! I really don't know how, I made so many mistakes 🤣
@@JKahu-ue9mm Congratulations 🤣
What do they mean by front demister?
Front defogger :) to clear the condensation on windshield
This made me nervous just felt like i was doing my driving text from 48 years ago
Congrats! Mine is in Cranbourne next month. I got nervous just by watching you drive for the test😓
Good luck! I was also nervous before the drive test but dont let it affect your driving awareness. Keep calm, dont panic and dont rush. They dont mark your driving based on how fast you're going. You just need to drive as safe as you can 😊 so take your time
Hi Narjis, do you remember the route?
Hi, could you please write me what kind of camera you used? Is it car camera? If yes, let me know which one please. Thanks
Hi, this was recorded by a dashcam mounted on my windscreen. The brand is 70mai, it was the earlier model so you may purchaser the newer ones which has better resolution
From where did you buy this model? Is there any other model you want to suggest as I am searching for a good car recorder?
Hope I pass too. My test is in a month😅.
I wish all the best for you, take your time and dont panic during the test :)
@@kageroboi Thank you so much, I’ll try😀.
I’ve got two weeks til mine; I’m so nervous. My gf doesn’t know I’m taking it and if I pass I’m picking her up from work as a surprise. I think the most nerve racking thing about failing is how long it’s going to take to get another test due to covid.. :(
@@GruntildaAU ah yeah! They're very busy now since they postpone everyone's test due to the pandemic. I hope you pass your test, dont worry too much and dont try to drive quick, all you need is to drive as safe as possible.
What a easy test! I passed in UK 2 months ago , but is more harder, examiner will not tell you the speed limit ever and on which line should you be.The whole test is 40 minutes, 20 minutes is independent driving, this could be follow sat nav or follow signs, and 20 minutes the examiner will direct you
They usually don't tell it here either, but you can get an easy assessor (this) or a ridiculously strict one. I had both, it makes a lot of difference lol. And the test differs from state to state. I think this is easy too.
Anyone know if I'm able to use my car? You cant see the speedo from the passenger seat. I drive a 2012 Veloster
Hi - great drive.. What does she mean when she says "lucky i brought the app as i can only see below 120 kms?"
Thanks! The car speedometer wasn't visible from the passenger side, she can only see 120kmh above 😅. So she had to monitor my speed using a seperate app.
Can you please upload Cranbourne license testing route?
Hi Johnson, did you do your test in cranbourne?
You show off at the end haha well done
I didnt mean it tho 😂 im used to reverse parking as i find it easier to position the car with the lines
@@kageroboi Devin .. So it was you who choose to reverse park or the Instructor instructed? As i am having mine next month i am not used to reverse parking...
At 19:50 can you sit infront of the crossing? Or is that not allowed.
you can but they'll mark you down cause you're blocking a pedestrian crossing but no pedestrians are affected
2:34 Skyline r34?
Very Nice Video, Thank You.
Have my test in Cranbourne this week. Scared to death 😱
Dont let your nervousness affect your driving. Keep calm :) practice and learn difficult scenarios. Dont rush as they dont see how quick youre driving, they just want to see how safe youre driving.
Hi Brooke how was it? do you know the route you used ?
@@Hala-yr5oc hello the route was just around the industrial area. Not a busy route so was good. Just practice the reverse parking that’s the most important. My driving instructor was with me as I used his car so it helped me 😆
@@Wendy-xg1ho hii, thank you. I passed my test was easy😊
did you have to do an eye test in VicRoads before you started driving?
Yes you do. Just a simple eye test
@@kageroboi do they check both eyes or both together? Cause I left my glasses overseas my right eye is 20/20 vision left not bad it’s just decent. I see rlly well regardless. Hopefully it’s not a hard single eye test.
@@ace_stealth251ace9 Both at a time. Well you just need to tell the officer the small alphabets sticking on the wall behind him. If you cant tell him the correct ones then I dont think you'll be able to pass the eye test. Its around 3-5 meters away from where you stand :)
@@kageroboi when you mean “both at a time” as in both eyes together yeah? If that’s the case I can pass, not one then the other yea?
@@ace_stealth251ace9 yeah they dont ask you to close one eye.
Quais são as perguntas que faz ?
Does anyone know if using my own car (I'm holding international driving license), do I have to display L plates or Vicroads will provide at testing place? I'm having my test next Monday, thank you!!
Hi Kristie, I'm sorry for the late reply. I did have L plates on my car during the test. But i dont think it's a must since you held an overseas full license. How was the test?
@@kageroboi Yeah it was not necessary for oversea full license. Yup I passed and had my full license now!! Cheers xD
@@KristieVu that's awesome! Take care
Congratulations..where you did your test
thanks for this bother it made me very relaxed
I’ve got my test on Tuesday. Good luck to everyone and Godbless ❤️
How did you go? :)
@@kageroboi Passed first try mate , Just relax and be confident in your driving skills , much love ❤️
I'll be taking my driving test in 2 weeks and i'm so NERVOUSSS 😭 i hope my instructor would be nice
Thank you for sharing this video. This helped me to get through the test. But tbh all instructors of VIC roads are not friendly as here. 😀
I have mine tomorrow and I'm so nervous
Got my test in Pakenham East tomorrow, I’m so nervous 😬
Hey how did u go with pakhenam east , I got mine on Friday in that area.
@@olfats143 extremely easy, only thing I needed to improve on was head checks even though I head checked everything maybe it was just something the tester wanted to write down haha
2:44 skyline r34 pulls out of nowhere
😂😂😂
No parallel parking?
Some people get that, depending on the assessor.
Hi,can i know when drive in the big road , is it we can drive up to 100?
Me not realising it was sped and I’m like ooooh he going fast 🤦🏽♀️
Look at tht skyline dude😳
Amazing video thank you so much
Glad it helps!
where was the reverse park?
3 point turn instead
Thank you, this video it was so helpful! 😊
hahah,恭喜恭喜，咱俩用的是同一款行车记录仪，你有没有后面一段的视频啊，感谢感谢。
