Just passed my driving test first time today in Glasgow in a wee automatic car.... At the grand age of 49. Fear kept me back for many years, but I can't explain how happy I am today. I just wish my Mum could have seen me do this x. Good luck everyone xx
My main tip given to me was be yourself and take the test like a driving lesson but with a new instructor and you want to show them your safe at driving
Passed on my third attempt today, to anyone reading this; you can do it. I failed twice quite badly and failed god knows how many mock tests. On top of that I was asked questions such as “ have you given up ?”. And in all honesty felt shit about myself as if I’d never pass. But as someone who saw absolutely no hope and no light at the end of the tunnel, just understand it gets better. Just work hard and eventually you’ll pass !
This means a lot..I'm so nervous about failing third time and so embarrassed I haven't told anyone I have my test again. Fingers crossed 🤞🏾 and well done for passing
Best way to pass is be your self and pretend it’s another driving lesson. Unnecessary stress can push you to make mistakes just take your time you won’t get minor points or fail the test for taking your time to show you can drive safe.
Thank you so much for your videos. I passed a driving test in Malta, we have a near identical test to the UK one and your videos along with many other TH-camr's helped me achieve a pass on the 3rd attempt, a total of 7 minor faults. I was feeling really bummed out the 2nd time I had failed, these types of videos gave me the encouragement to not give up. My test had a pretty interesting scenario! 2 People crashed on a roundabout that I needed to enter, they blocked the lane that I had to use to enter, so I basically had to enter from a "exit" of the roundabout, myself and the examiner were even just casually chatting through all of it!
Thank you! I was so stressed since I failed before as nerves got the best of me, then I watched your videos especially the one to calm nerves and passed with no minors on sunday 13th December, 3 days ago!!! Yayy
That’s excellent news, congratulations. Thank you for watching and if you get time watch the playlist called the first year after passing. Safe driving
During the second lockdown i just watching your vids. It’s very helpful and I learned a lot of tips🙂. I just passed my driving test last December 3 in Bristol with 3 minors. Keep up the good work!!
My test is this thursday, december 3rd. I'm nervous but I've been watching these videos which have been a massive help, thank you. I'll update how it goes on Thursday.
2 weeks away from my test and I told my instructor and thought it was booked for the wrong date. Turned out it's a day earlier than I though. So you've saved my bacon with this video. Thanks
just wanted to say thanks for your hard work on ur videos. I passed today with help from ur advise. Keep up the good work. Those taking ur test remember stay calm and don't panic. you got this.
@@lucasdavidhernandezdiaz3907 sure, don’t do the same though because I failed on Junctions - Observations, a car slowed down to let me out and apparently you’re not supposed to go because of right of way. 😔
My old instructor told me techniques to park into bays such as certain parts of the mirror however when I have been doing L plate driving and parking I’ve just drove straight into the bay! I have my test soon and I want to know if I can just drive straight into the bay opposed to using these unnecessary techniques to make it harder
@@sadedarryl6064 I passed my test, I recommend you to go as far out as possible and just full lock turn into the bay when parking forwards. Ignore what the instructors say when learning to pay park. They give you unnecessary techniques and make it harder
Lost my theory test pass paper but when I looked on the gov website as to what I should do it says that you don’t need to get a replacement at the examiner can check it while your their x but now I’m scared that then won’t let me do it
you say about having your passed theory paper with you but I have lost mine and DVSA are taking ages to get back to me to replace it but I do have a picture of it and the certificate number so would they be able to find it on the system before doing the practical Driving test? If not I'm guessing I'd get turn down to do my driving test?
I fail 3 time 😔 on the roundabout I was taking 1 exit and there was lorry which was right side and when he start moving I was trying to pass next to it taking as a shield and she failed me on that and I don't think I make mistake there. It was just 5 min. Left. 😔😔
I left my theory test in my instructors car but I have taken photos & I have tge number from the theory paper, will that suffice or should I go to the test center and pay £15 for another one, ive another lesson booked this week but I'm worrying he will not have it with him - thqnk you in advanced 👍
@@JamesTravis thanks for clarifying that Travis, my instructor has been getting me to do them each time we do the test circut, I guess it's worth knowing but I won't be examined on it?
Eat and drink an hour before so it keeps up your strength/stamina. You will be surprised how much stress burns up your energy levels. Checkout my playlist on passing your driving test first time. More tips in there for you. Good luck
@@JamesTravis Thank you so much for your advice, and your videos are very helpful i must say. One last question, do you know where I can find videos for the Dudley test routes?
Ive got my driving test in april. Ive would have had 70 hours worth of lessons by then... do you think i will be ready,? my insctuor took me a mock test and said i did really well and would have passed condisering it was my 1st one but i still dont feel ready.-_- I really hope i pass!!
@@JamesTravis Ive spent a fortune so i wanna pass lol. plus im flying to florida the day after so i want to be celebrating!! Plus i love automatic driving sooo much easier. Fingers crossed 🤞

My old instructor told me techniques to park into bays such as certain parts of the mirror however when I have been doing L plate driving and parking I’ve just drove straight into the bay! I have my test soon and I want to know if I can just drive straight into the bay opposed to using these unnecessary techniques to make it harder
Please would u share the tips, I often struggle to park in the bay as I can barely see the bay lines in my side mirrors
@@sadedarryl6064 I passed my test, I recommend you to go as far out as possible and just full lock turn into the bay when parking forwards. Ignore what the instructors say when learning to pay park. They give you unnecessary techniques and make it harder
Got my test tomorrow absolutely shitting myself
Good luck on your driving test
So hope I get emergency stop
Did anyone find it okay not to take your theory exam certificate?
I was at test centre yesterday and they were asking to see theory test certificates.
Lost my theory test pass paper but when I looked on the gov website as to what I should do it says that you don’t need to get a replacement at the examiner can check it while your their x but now I’m scared that then won’t let me do it
If you contact the theory test centre where you took the theory test. They can email you a copy.
you say about having your passed theory paper with you but I have lost mine and DVSA are taking ages to get back to me to replace it but I do have a picture of it and the certificate number so would they be able to find it on the system before doing the practical Driving test? If not I'm guessing I'd get turn down to do my driving test?
This last month they have stopped asking to see the theory test certificate.
If they need to they can check on your system
Have test now I hope I pass first time
Good luck
@@JamesTravis I have after 1 hour this video really helped thanking you Travis

Sorry to hear about your test result.
Hi, I have my driving test on next week , I lost my driving theory test paper but it was in my phone as a photo so whether they accept it for my test.
Best of luck! I have left comments on your other video
I daydream when driving way to easily, Is that normal for some people?
Hi, when learning, some learners day dream. It’s usually down to boredom. The instructor needs to ask more questions to get the student talking more.
first test today!!! ahhhhhh
Good luck
Have my test in two weeks against advice that I should wait longer🤣
Best of luck!
If you can get some extra practice, it could make difference.
@@JamesTravis I passed mate thank you! Life has completely changed for the better ❤️
I left my theory test in my instructors car but I have taken photos & I have tge number from the theory paper, will that suffice or should I go to the test center and pay £15 for another one, ive another lesson booked this week but I'm worrying he will not have it with him - thqnk you in advanced 👍
Drop your instructor a text asking them to hold onto it until your lesson.
Is it true you can play music on low volume during your test?
Yes it is
@@JamesTravis thats great I can control my nerves better now but i hope I don’t get carried away by the music 😅
Do you still have the reverse round a corner as a manoeuvre in the driving test?
no that was taken out a few years ago
@@JamesTravis thanks for clarifying that Travis, my instructor has been getting me to do them each time we do the test circut, I guess it's worth knowing but I won't be examined on it?

Just under 3 weeks left I wish it was tomorrow lol want to get it out the way
