Just passed my PDA at Success DOT (first try). Ive started 0 driving skills when I first booked my lesson with Glen. Aside from developing skills, his lessons focus on how to get you through the PDA. Bonus are the helpful videos you can watch on his channel. Thank you heaps, My Drive School, looking forward to more videos!
Hey Jeanne! Thank you so much for the kind feedback. I’m glad you had a positive learning to drive experience. Also congratulations on passing your driving test FIRST shot today at Success🎉! And YES, I’ll keep the videos coming. Best Wishes Glenn / MyDrive School
It was a pleasure meeting you. Your kind comments mean a lot and I am thrilled the videos helped! Thank you once again for taking the time to share your feedback. Glenn / MyDrive School
In this place all parking places such as shopping center parking and parallel parking areas are hilly.. so do we have to steer wheels towards kerb while parking and do we have to put on first gear or reverse gear... Also we cannot ride with second gear in the roundabout next to dot. So can we drive with third gear in the roundabout while we come back to dot.
Some parts of Beeliar where the IGA is can be pretty hilly. We only angle the wheels when we do a kerb stop. Reason being that if the car rolls down the hill while you are having lunch, it will shortly come to rest on the kerbs. If you’re on the uphill parked or pulled over, always leave it on first gear and vice versa. Use the appropriate gear for the manoeuvre at the double roundabout outside the DoT depending on the traffic conditions. Hope this helps. All the best!
Hope you are doing well and thank your for your encouraging comments. It’s a mash up of the routes and car parks used by the 6 to 7 assessors at the Success DOT.
@@mydrivewa That´s great Glenn!! So maybe Maxi drive in the same route the next day. Good idea! I will go on the weekend to drive there in order to practice. Thank you very much, you are an excellent instructor!!
@@mydrivewa Hello Glenn! I was driving there. In the residential street the speed is 50 km however it is a high speed for that residentials streets. I must drive near of 50 km or I can drive with a speed of 40km. Thanks Glenn!!
It’s not impossible to get to the freeway from the success DOT.. At present, it does not happen much, but that can change to suit the testing agenda. But best to prep yourself with the on/off ramp manoeuvres. Wishing you the best Glenn
When he went back to licensing centre there was car opposite comming on time of reversing then he stopped ... What is cars coming from behind can we still reverse or do we have to find another spot so that we dont block car behind
Hello Glen ! If ever I forget or not familiar with the area where the SFS parking is, will I lose a mark if I ask them where the parking is again? Thankyou !
Thank you for your question and watching the channel. It’s usually at the discretion of the assessor to decide if it should be a mark down. But most of the time it should be fine as it’s a drive test and not a navigational one. All the best! Glenn / MyDrive WA
Just wanna ask, when doing a reverse park during PDA instead of passing 3 lines before you reverse, can I do a 45 angle turn then reverse or not? Thank you!!
Thank you for your question. Most assessors are fine with the 45 degree angle park, provided you do not obstruct oncoming traffic and you must do your relevant checks. However, we do prefer the 3 line approach when teaching. All the best!
@@mydrivewa thank you for the answer!! So as long as I indicate and make sure that I won’t be blocking oncoming traffic it’s fine to do 45 degree angle park? I’m not going to lose any points during my PDA for doing that?
Good days and thanks for being on our channel. You could log on to our website at www.mydrive.school and submit the online form in the contact us page and I will respond soonest. Regards Glenn
The final decision on whether the vehicle is roadworthy depends on the assessor. Most of the time electronic handbrakes are fine, but I do suggest calling DOT at 131156 to confirm vehicle make and model if unsure.
Thanks for the comment. Maxi actually did do a reverse park at the end of the video at the Success Licensing. It’s usually at the discretion of the assessor what type of parking they want the driver to perform. Cheers and have a safe drive 😀

Hi Glen! Met you today at Success DOT, after I passed my test (first try). Thank you for your great videos!

Awesome video..thanks for this! More Success mock tests please... 😅😅😅😅
More to come! Thanks for the comments 😁
Hello!! Did yopu do the test in success? the route is similar to this?
@@Esteban44846 It's not. We went to Beeliar-Yangebup area, did Stopping for shopping exercise at Beeliar Shopping Centre.
In this place all parking places such as shopping center parking and parallel parking areas are hilly.. so do we have to steer wheels towards kerb while parking and do we have to put on first gear or reverse gear... Also we cannot ride with second gear in the roundabout next to dot. So can we drive with third gear in the roundabout while we come back to dot.

@@mydrivewa Thank you for the quick reply .
Hi Glenn, how are you? Amazing video!! It is a route that you were creating in the moment or it is one of the route of the success PDA? Thanks mate!

Do they ever take you onto the freeway at success?
It’s not impossible to get to the freeway from the success DOT.. At present, it does not happen much, but that can change to suit the testing agenda. But best to prep yourself with the on/off ramp manoeuvres.

@@mydrivewa thank you 😊

It’s usually a common sense approach to that. Always signal your intention early so that the vehicle behind is aware of what you’re doing/going to do.
@@mydrivewa Thank you for your replies. I passed c class manual license
Well done and congratulations! That is awesome to know!! 🥰Glenn @ mydriveschool@@jacksonfrancis7150

Hi! Best to check with your local instructor in the area that you are in for specifics
Hi how can I book a lesson please
Good days and thanks for being on our channel. You could log on to our website at www.mydrive.school and submit the online form in the contact us page and I will respond soonest.

Are electric hand brakes ok for driving test?
The final decision on whether the vehicle is roadworthy depends on the assessor. Most of the time electronic handbrakes are fine, but I do suggest calling DOT at 131156 to confirm vehicle make and model if unsure.
Why did he do forward parking? As I have seen in PDA always a reverse parking
Thanks for the comment. Maxi actually did do a reverse park at the end of the video at the Success Licensing. It’s usually at the discretion of the assessor what type of parking they want the driver to perform.
Cheers and have a safe drive 😀
How did he go?
Good day! Maxi went really well and passed the PDA first go at the Success Licensing a day after this mock test :)
@@mydrivewa Great work Maxi!
