Emily, if you read this, thanks for doing this! This is a great and really entertaining series because of you. It's been quite some time since I got my license and it's so much fun to see the learning curve we all have had. And many thanks to Richard for filming his work, of course, too! Really hoping we'll see all the progress till the exam.
I'm a teacher in a different field of work but I think you're an incredible teacher. I could write a lot about why but the video speaks for itself!
i have never been inside a car front, but i have made this initiative to follow through these tutorials and one day I will own & drive my own! Thank coach!!
I wish I'd been taught by someone like you, Richard. I wasn't taught about open and closed junctions, "walking" and "jogging", etc. Even when training to be an instructor, I was still not taught about these things. Your pupils are fortunate to get someone such as you, Good luck to Emily. I'm sure she will learn quickly.
❤
Don't worry Emily (if you look at these comments), we all make mistakes. I remember driving the wrong way up a one-way street during the lesson before my test. Scared my instructor to death; then passed the test with only 2 minor faults 😂 You're doing really well overall. Keep up the good work!
i remember driving the wrong way round on an empty roundabout. Passed with 2 minor faults
@@sxxith hopefully not on the test 😂
Happy to say I passed a few weeks ago with only one minor mark! Thank you for making these videos free and easily accessible for all.
That's great to hear! Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
I am genuinely invested in Emily's driving journey now! #roadtopass
My son passed his test yesterday with only 2 minors, taught by me for the last 6 months. Your videos have been so helpful. Thank you 👍
That's fantastic to hear! Congratulations to your son!
0:17 "Too high, I missed this" for a split second I thought the arrow was pointing at Emily 😂
I feel so invested in Emily's journey. Looking forward to seeing her grow and develop her skills.
I never realised how complex driving actually is and so many things that I take for granted after driving for many years, actually require lots of intuition and skill to do. When you explain it step by step it blows my mind what's involved.
Richard, you should really consider teaming up with the BBC or another channel to produce driving safety video's to remind everyone to drive safely similar to the 'Green Cross Code man' or the Tufty Club. My British wife reminds me that her brother was a member of the Tufty Club in the 70's and 80's.
I love how you teach, all the time smiling, not yelling, everything is in happy mood,love it .
WE LOVE EMILY, WE WANT MORE VIDEOS WITH HER!!!!
You are very lucky Emily. He teaches you everything step by step.
Richard, your teaching is just excellent, it's a world away from when I got taught. I still like checking into your videos even after passing a few years ago and I try to watch your videos that aren't directly to do with passing the UK driving test as someone who is always looking to improve their driving after getting the pass and generally curious and interested in cars/driving. Seeing your teaching directly on actual lessons just proves more to me how much of a great driving education channel this is.
Great to see Emily back in the driving seat! Keep rocking it sister
Well done Emily, be proud of yourself it's all starting to come together. Can't wait for your next video.
Passed a few months back with 1 minor but loving watching these videos, found your explanation videos so helpful!
Smashing it so far Emily!
I can't thank you enough for the amazing driving lesson videos you've provided. Your clear instructions and helpful tips really made a difference in my learning journey. Keep up the fantastic work, and I'll be sure to recommend your channel to others looking to become confident and skilled drivers.
These videos are so great as I can make notes of mistakes I make while driving, without the stress of driving at the same time. It is amazing to be able to reflect like this before a lesson and bring a list of things I actively want to work on!
This video (as all your other videos!)is a gem! Thank you, Richard...and Emily for agreeing to have your session on video. I've had 15 hours of lessons, can drive now on country roads when it's nearly empty 😒 but struggle with junctions etc... add to the fact that I never had that kind of detailed instruction. Wish I lived near Colchester! Thanks again and keep up the fantastic lessons/videos!
Hello there, I am learning to drive an automatic but I still watched your videos to get an idea on approaching junctions. Your a really great teacher and I will continue to watch your videos as I am learning. Sometimes I drive to near the curb but I have used this and some other videos to learn how to position myself better. Thank you for sharing these videos, this is what TH-cam is made for :)
you are probably one of the best if not the best teacher I saw online. I know you like what you're doing and have a passion for cars. keep doing this please, there are a lot of learner who still struggle with basic things because of poor explanation, and you can explain everything super easily. I'm here more to learn about fuel economy and optimal driving but it's always nice to see new "pilots" improve. ty for your work 🤟💪
Conquer is an excellent instructor. Love his style and knowledge. I am learning alot
Thanks for doing these Emily.
It's really interesting to see Richard's methods in action.
I got my license 2 months ago but your videos played an important role,so thank you Richard
And Emily I can't wait seeing you improving and getting better and better. love you
👋
From the US and I just wanted to say I watched so many of your videos before I bought my car. Helped me so much to understand how long to hold on the bite point. And I learnt so much about my car. Tysm!! 🎉
I'm really impressed with her confidence! She does have a fantastic teacher, though. I wish I had a teacher like you when I was first learning.
i did my driving license in spain and i find your videos very instructive and entertaning
as a person in an entirely different country, your videos are SUPER informative and just plain fun to watch even though yall drive on the wrong side of the road ;) . Somehow, listening to someone talk about the field they know a lot about is an enriching experience, and im just happy to get driving tips regardless! Keep doing what youre doing, youre a wonderful instructor and make learning a joy.
I'm really enjoying these lessons with Emily. I'm learning better with her and from her mistakes. I would love to see more videos as long as it doesn't interfere with her practice regarding the cameras and the stress of filming, thank you very much ❤
I’m in the same situation as Emily and watching her is so refreshing! Glad I have these videos whiles I’m in the similar situation! Also she’s is so good on the camera!
Best on youtube. Thank you for making these free, helping me so much to prepare for my part 3 .
Fab teacher!! I am still learning now watching these videos and passed 30 years ago❤
Waiting for the next episode of this brilliantly educational, kind, sweet and wonderful video podcast. 😁
Shes doing well . Seeing improvements
Hi Richard, just wanted to say a massive thank you for all the videos you put on TH-cam to help us beginners learn how to drive. I can honestly say your videos helped so much more than any driving instructor I had. I passed today first time with 4 minors and I put this down to your videos very clear explanations. Keep up the good work and thank you 😁🙏
That's really great to hear! Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
a good refresher video since i don't drive often. thanks richard
Hey! I just wanted to thank you for your content. They've helped me a lot, I think I've learnt much more from you than I did from my instructor. I've passed my test a week ago with 1 minor fault. I'll keep watching as I want to master the things in your "Advanced driving" playlist as well. 😌
That's fantastic to hear! Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
I love how she matched her socks with her nail polish lmao.
Its so interesting to see someone learn and go through all of the improvements.
When i started out though, my instructor just said: “Lets get out on road!”, on the first lesson… It was definitely scary but ended up being a lot easier than i thought. Driving is fun man.
I'm in the same boat, busy doing lessons and I've been thrown in the deep end with every lesson😂 does help you get used to the stress though
Awesome progress, keep up the good work!
Great series Rich
"Good to see u havent ran away"
Her last video was 3 months ago 😂that aged well
great improvements and a good instructor looking forward for more lessons with emily
This video is extremely helpful to me right now, I’m currently at over 20+ hours of lessons with my driving test booked for November 15th but something I keep struggling at is moving off more quickly when I’m stopped/stationary at any point , only because I’m afraid If I try to move off too quickly I’ll stall but my instructor understands why I take my time to move off
I'm also currently on my lessons with a test booked soon, something my instructor taught me because i struggled with the same thing, especially on hills, is to watch the road ahead and treat it like a prepare to move off, so biting point before you can move so that it's just a little bit more when it's time to go
I know this is months and months late but I just want to let you know that when I took my test, I was slow pulling away at a set of traffic lights because I thought I'd stalled and still only got a minor for it, stalling isn't an issue (nor is thinking you've done so!) unless you're downright dangerous and I doubt you're that. I hope your test went well!
Hi Richard, I just passed my driving test with 2 minors today. Your videos were very helpful. Thank you very much
Great video Richard. Love to see Emily progressing 😊
Just passed my test today with 1 minor, and got a big compliment from the examiner saying i dont drive like a learner. These videos have been really helpful thank you.
That's great to hear! Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
I passed last week with 7 minors, I was a little disappointed in my minors but a pass is a pass and I was so happy with myself after leaving it until I was 35 to finally do it. Thanks for your videos, they helped me throughout my journey! Good luck everyone.
Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
" Ask any real racers, it doesn't matter an inch or mile, winning is a winning " - Dom T ;) congratulations 🎉 for your pass
Richard thanks for these videos
Shes doing well . Seeing BIG improvements.
I noticed at the begining Emily was very wary of speeding up before changing up to 2nd gear, but then later she got it moving to change up, you said not so fast, but that showed me she was getting confidence in her ability to control the car more, but she did really well, also the junction where she was going to do it wrong for the camera, she stopped herself at the last minute, but she showed the confidence and ability to control the car again, I think she will be a fast learner, she listens and thinks.
Emily is gonna do just fine she's learning very well and she's doing everything safely.
This has been incredibly helpful for me. One of my biggest fears as a learner which has led to a lot of rushing, is that if I don’t have my clutch in as soon as I slow down; I’ll stall. (It comes from stalling on my first ever junction and being beeped at and then tailgated, although I’ve never stalled on the road since)- I first started learning in a 2005 Vauxhall Tigra which was much easier as you really could hear everything and you had to apply much more pressure to the pedals anyway, but I’ve now bought a 2023 Corsa which is much more sensitive and quiet so that fear of stalling at junctions has been super high and led to me going faster than I should. So being able to get a better gauge of how slow the car can go before the break is needed but also how slow it can go before the clutch is needed is really useful.
I've started to use the phrase 'Manage/control your speed with the footbrake.' once the clutch is down approaching junctions. It helps eliminate braking too soon. I'm converted to walking/jogging/running - thanks Richard, so much more practical than bothering the speedometer. I'm also keen on choosing your gear when you take your foot off the brake at junctions, including roundabouts. I'm pretty certain that guessing the gear is wrong at least 50% of the time. We take our foot off the brake when we've decided it's safe to go and so the car stops slowing down, except uphill. At that point, we can select the appropriate gear and slide the clutch back up to go. Obviously, if we slow to a walk at any time, it's straight into first. How many times has a pupil asked you 'What gear?' approaching an open roundabout and then continue braking? As John always says, 'If you don't know, don't go.' An undecided pupil is sat there, foot jammed on the brake. Time to assist!
You are very good instructor👍
I love this thank you very much I struggle with junctions
emily is doing really well , thats some good progress
Im from another country but I learned a lot from ur videos I would like to thank u and my driving test is
5days from now so yeah thank u
Good luck!
A great vedios as always 💕 Thanks.
Also thanks for Emily.😙🌹
From Australia here. I got my Manual car couple of days ago, but I can honestly have say it’s way better than driving an automatic, hands down. I’ve only had 3 hours of actually learning from a instructor, driving my workplace’s manual Hilux to get some local morning breakfast at a near by cafe & learning from work mates & friends. Manage to get home safely though, stalled couple of times now & then, shift into wrong gear, jerky up & downshifts, not getting the bite point right, ect… but overall this channel did help me manage my confidence & I’m now able to drive my GR86 Manual with little a bit of improvement. I’m still not perfect, but I’m learning everyday & I’ll continue to use this channel as a reference & improve my skills at a steady pace. Really appreciate your hard work Richard, keep it up.
I hear that drivers who take an automatic test in NSW are now given a manual licence (without taking a manual test) when they upgrade to their green Ps after 12 months.
Nice car! We didn't get many of those in the UK. I think it was around 500 and they sold out in about 90 minutes.
23:28 bookmarking these tips for myself - thanks!
Thank you for your videos Richard, passed today with a couple of minors!
passed my test with 3 minors today
@@Ri5004certainly is
Congratulations on passing!
@@ConquerDriving cheers mate

I’m watching these and they are great for anything I felt I need more help after my lessons like cleared up
0:32 Richard's got Jim Carrey's smile. 😅
Watching this is very good as even-though I have only had my licence for 2 years you easily forget how the basics feel for learner drivers. Just using the clutch only could present problems when driving a petrol car
Just passed today first time and your videos have been invaluable so thank you very much, top man
That's great to hear! Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
Thank you Richard for all your videos I finally passed my test with 3 minors,your videos been very helpful.
That's fantastic news! Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
Great instructor
Thank you so much Richard and a big shout out to Emily for agreeing to do these videos.
It helps so much.
Can you please compile it in order so it is much more helpful for new learner’s.
Just passed today thank you for your videos!!
Congratulations on passing!
Loved the Mario kart guess 😆
Good that you teach moving off fast, My instructor never did in fact taugh me to use gas only. Always ignored him and did gas anyway lol and has paid off because car now 1.6 astra needs gas 100 percent
Pulling away fast is essential for roundabouts and junctions my instructors car is like a rocket but my car.... well lets just say ive gotta really rev it to get it to move quick 😂😂
One of the best feelings I’ve ever had was passing my test in June first time with only 2 minors, I hope she can pass first time too
coasting is when you being cool just chilling
Thank you so much
A really interesting thing about any new skill being trained is how much more you progress at it by sleeping. I remember I tried to learn juggling three days in a row four hours each of those days. My record was only like catching 5 balls. The next morning I got like 50 on the first try. Basically I got the skill from processing the training in my sleep. I think many who learn to drive might get the same surprise at their next lesson if they can recall their last one
I think when you practise and regularly come back it sticks better than without having the breaks.
Emily is great. I want to see her passing the test on the channel.
Emily is great on camera i love these videos
The first five or so manual lessons can be painful lol but she's doing great!
I'm starting to understand why lots of people in Italy aren't great drivers :')) my teacher just made me drive up to 3rd gear on the first day
Best wishes
I thought She did well at this point 31:28 by being calm and listening to instructions because I thought that other driver was a little too agressive and dangerously speeding towards her to teach her a "lesson" all the while not signaling. That person should have put on their left signal on well in advance of the corner to show their intentions and keep their speed down. I really hate selfish drivers like this.
Weldone Emily! I think you are doing really well!
She is very calm and a joy to teach.
Right now, the hardest thing about passing is not the learning curve, but getting a test slot 😂
So true about first being jerky. At least in my Clio 😅
It would be very helpful if you made a series with ALL lessons of a given learner. From complete beginner to passing the test. There are so many things my teacher doesnt explain and while you cover a wide variety of topics, i can't know what i don't yet know, if that makes sense.
Nice 🎉
Omg I love her peachy coloured hair 🥰
1:01:14 Maybe not as relevant in this case, but that was my concern when I was new driver reversing an artic on a bay while other lorries were waiting for me. That was holding me back until I "realized" that concentrating on the maneuver instead of them waiting will make things easier for both of us.
I think the easiest way to describe coasting would be when going down a hill and the vehicle is just rolling without input. Like riding a bike without peddling.
we love emily!
Good job bro🇪🇷
"you didn't say cheerio"...priceless 😆😆
When's the lesson on handbrake turns coming Richard?
Maybe one day off road, here is some fun in my MX5, no handbrake needed as it was slippery: th-cam.com/video/VXkFkYWhK8o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=4W7lg476XqD0hyJz
improvement 👍
I’ve got my first driving lesson tomorrow! Wish me luck!
Update: Lesson went really well! The driving instructor was really impressed with me :)
That's great to hear, I hope you enjoy learning to drive.
@@ConquerDriving Thank you! Watching your videos certainly helped me. I’m looking forward to my next lesson
I don't want to sound weird, but I watched the video for pure pleasure. It may be a form of insanity, I don't care: I just enjoy listening to good instruction and coaching, and Richard is an excellent teacher. But the video wouldn't be nearly as pleasant if Emily weren't Emily. And she's so extremely likeable with her light self-criticism, light self-irony, and a bit of minxish humour, especially when she says that she's acting in front of the camera though she seems to be perfectly natural and free from any pretense.
Also, she has a brilliant focus and is really sensible for somebody her age, in my opinion.
A big thank you to her again for letting us watch her lesson and big congras for remaining so unperturbed by the presence of the cameras!
Just one more thing. I don't know if anyone else has noticed how excellent Emily's handling of the steering wheel is, considering she's still a very novice driver. When I think of student-drivers I've seen, even those at a more advanced stage of training, images of people fumbling with the wheel in the jerky performance of the prescribed push-and-pull motion spring to my mind. Nothing of that sort when it comes to Emily! She might still get her aim and her focus on the car positioning off on occasion, but she has absolutely no trouble in putting in the steering angle she wants when she wants it, in one smooth gesture. Impressive!
08:45 That seems so be a recurring optical illusion. Once you stop after having moved forward for a while, you might get the impression of rolling backwards very slowly.
Yay Emily 😁👍
