Ngl if I waited months of practice to do a test and spent lots of money for lessons and booking the test, and finally come test day had some inpatient careless pedestrians jumping onto an active road in a green light not even waiting for it to turn red making me fail, I would be so fuming
Well, to be fair, if you spent a considerable amount of money and time on driving lessons, then you should know you cannot go through an occupied crossing even if the lights are green.
14:00 - emergency stop. The driver of the red Astra should re-sit their test. They tried to move past while a cyclist was coming the other way, a head on collision was actually averted by the learner driver pulling away.
@@trevorackroyd9931 Initially, the Astra did pull in, but watch 14:11, once the driver has decide to overtake the learner, they indicate and pull out, at the SAME TIME as the cyclist is coming past the learner. They didn't see the cyclist or thought it would be ok to squeeze past the learner AND the cyclist. You're supposed to give cyclists 1.5 meter(5foot) of space. Either way, the Astra performed an unsafe manoeuvre and had they been on a test, they would have failed on a major fault.
It's really awful, enough to put my off watching these videos again. It's the abruptness of it, you are calmly watching the video trying to learn and then they nearly give you a heart attack.
11:04 Not gonna lie, I feel like this fault was partly due to the examiner confusing the student. He really should've just let her take the left turn; she likely would've done it safely as she seems to have carried out the correct observations and no faults would've been made, as disobeying the examiners' directions is not a fault if done safely.
@@TheTif105 To be fair, the satnav is not the driver and can give wrong instructions, so a driver should be able to adjust on the fly in a safe manner. But on the other hand, the instructor should realize that if they give an instruction, the student will follow it where they may not if it was just a random passenger. So it is still primarily on the instructor IMHO.
The instructor said go straight. The driver still kept the left signal on. The other car in the junction came out thinking their going left. So it is the learners fault.
At 10:45, was this fault not partially caused by the driving examiner? If he hadn't intervened and told the driver to cancel the signal and go straight, she likely would have turned left in a safe manner, without misleading other traffic? And going the wrong direction isn't a fault?
I completely agree it would be safer for her to turn left. Once she put the left signal on her intention was to go left and if she did it would be safer for everyone. The examiner said it after he also saw her put her left indicator on. Is this something worth appealing?
You can also see that she turned the left indicator off in good time before the fiat pulled out - and so whether the fiat did their extra checks or the sunlight made it difficult to see the learners signal we do not know but you are taught to never trust a car is going to turn into the junction and should always wait until the new road is clear, and so it seems a bit contractictory and unfair to fail her on incorrect signal as she reacted well in my opinion. I agree that the instructor shouldn't of really intervined a second time.
I Failed and feeling demotivated as there are numerous reasons for failing anyone. I also saw many licensed and experienced drivers are not driving as per the exam standards. Already spent huge
Some of reasons to fail a learner are absolutely nonsensical .Examiners never use common sense but apply decades old rules they way they are told so.There is a significant number of examiners who have attitude problems & inclined to fail many learners .This system is beyond believe.
You do know that respect and the way you get treat works both ways don't you? If you had a half decent Instructor they would have told you to be nice and ask how the examiner is doing back after they have asked you. Goes a long way the initial and first impression does. If you are vacant, absent and dormant upstairs and don't make an effort to break the ice the examiner won't go out their way to be nice to you. This is a lesson for life not just during driving tests
I passed my driving test today with 2minors. I've been watching all your mock test videos and tutorials. They were a massive help today. Thanks a million...!!!
Many years after having passed my driving test, I still like watching these videos to see if I have anything to improve or any bad habits to correct. Although many of these fails are really overkill in real life, I understand why it has to be done in this way. New drivers need to have perfect habits (100%) at the beginning, after if they forget 10-20%, it’s still good. But if they only have 80% at the beginning, they may end with 40%-50%, it’s not safe for everyone.
Hey guys, just want to say a big thank you. I passed two weeks ago in Bury with only 3 lessons that I had before Christmas so just had my parents teach me over the 2nd lockdown and I used your videos for the technical parts. Thanks so much.
3:53 - pedestrian started crossing on red. Are we supposed to stop for pedestrians that started crossing on red, even if there is enough space to get around them? 11:02 - yes, that was misleading, yes, we had to break, but "sharply? I would argue, that decelerating from 17 to 15 is not "sharply".
The problem is that even if you stop on a green light with traffic behind you for a pedestrian. It's quite dangerous for traffic behind as slamming on the brakes can also cause an accident.
No wonder most drivers are dumb. The licence process makes you drive like a robot... Failing you for literally everything possible, to make extra money for another run. Can't even touch a kurb or even have time to slow down for a speed limit change, expecting you to hit the checkpoint dead on. The UK doesn't want people to drive... Everything is as expensive as possible to put you off.
There are a couple of dubious fails here, but neither of those two were them. There was plenty of time to slow down when visibility of the 50mph signs was gained, but before the speed limit was broached, you are taking a test after all. You can touch a kerb, but you can't mount the pavement, however long it was for.
You're very right milosz. People are spending so much money in the UK just to get driving license...always given fault and serious fault when there's none.
Yes, mounting the pavement and failing to slow beneath the legal speed limit should fail your driving test. What are you trying to say, that people should just be given the benefit of the doubt when they do something dangerous on test?
I passed my test on third attempt. I had 1 major in both previous tests and no minors. I realised that the secret to not making any of the mistakes mentioned in this video is to drive slowly. If instructor asks you to perform any action then take your time and slow down first.
At 10:45 that shouldn't have been a fail. If the instructor didn't intervene she would have safely carried on with the left turn and since she has already indicated, the instructor shouldn't have intervened. Also after the intervention she did immediately cancel her signal, which would cause confusion to the fiat driver but that's not her fault.
Sorry but test fail 2 is bollocks...another reason why this new pedestrian rule is not only stupid and unfair for road users but also potentially dangerous. If the main traffic light was green that means that the crossing signal was on the red man which means that any pedestrian should NOT be crossing the road in the first place! So how about the pedestrian actually obeying the rules of the road and waiting until the green man, which is exactly what they should be doing....To blame the driver for the pedestrian being impatient and crossing the road when he/she should not have is insane. I mean you realise in some countries, this could qualify as jaywalking and get fined for it.
I won’t lie, this video was eye opening. I would have definitely made some of these mistakes, especially the pedestrian one. Now I know what to do. Look as far as possible, anticipate and drive slow.
Just be calm, be yourself and show them how you drive. Try not to let your nerves make you make mistakes. I pretended my instructor was in the passenger seat, it helped me stay calm 😂 you've got this! let me know how you get on, good luck
Thank you for these really helpful videos, passed my test today first time with 1 minor fault. Thanks again and we are so lucky to have channels like this that are free to watch!
I passed my very first driving test today with 0 driving errors in Cheltenham 😀, A million thanks for all your videos, it really helped me a lot and improved my confidence.Thank you.
Good video, I passed a month ago and still watching and learning. On my test I had to carry out the reverse manoeuvre on the right hand side of the road, after this I went to pull off and signalled right, I’d wondered why the examiner was craning his neck behind but thankfully no other traffic about otherwise I’d have got a serious not a minor. Examiner was telling my instructor during my feedback he’d never known anyone signal right after that manoeuvre and we all had a good laugh (but I did realise and understood my error and won’t do it again)
The best advice I was given was to take my time and really make my observations obvious and if it feels like a risk then don’t take it I may be wrong but proving you can drive safely seemed to be the thing my examiner was looking for
Some of these fails are ridiculous. No wonder a large amount of people fail their test. Driving lessons and tests are just box ticking money grabbing industry nowadays.
Completely agree it is. Been driving two years now as a learner had to wait until this month to get my test it’s next Tuesday. I’m worried I’ll fail for something stupid after all the money I’ve wasted on lessons and bookings
So glad I passed first time, never wanna go through a test again. They aren't that bad, its just so easy to screw up especially with an obscure situation when something seems 50/50, but the examiner preferred one option over the over.
for test fail 8, why didn't the instructor just let the lady turn and carry on rather than confusing her. It wasn't her fault, it was the instructors in this case 100%
The fact he has chosen to "risk his own life" indicates that you accept that it was a risk, the driver was in a position to remove that risk and so should have done so. I know we may wish to punish this type of stupidity, but you can't teach or endorse it.
On test fail 4, they need to put show a sign that a lower speed limit is ahead. There was no roadworks signs either so there was no early warning of a speed limit change. Maybe the examiner should have given the learner 10 seconds after passing thr speed limti sign until a fault is given
I know right. You cannot expect him to break harshly as following cars would most likely plow in the back of him. I felt he made the right choice gradually decreasing his speed?
3 ปีที่แล้ว +2
This was a harsh fail as like you say no warning signs, think on a real test they'd give you a few seconds maybe 5-10 or something to slow down, can't be breaking hard, harsh fail for me that one
as a driver you’re meant to look ahead, so the learner should’ve noticed the sign of the new speed limit and gradually slowed down, as the speed limit becomes intact as soon as u reach the sign.
The police won't give ten seconds before slapping points on your licence. Drivers need to look as far ahead as possible so they can spot signage and react in good time.
01:23 the examiner in a real test would ask the learner to slow down as your video states. Maybe you should do similar in a mock, especially considering the 20 is probably there for a reason!
I don't get test fail 4, the speed limit was 70mph & then all of a sudden 50mph, they did slow down gradually if you don't do it gradually wouldn't that slow down drivers behind & be to harsh?
Those 50mph signs are visible for 1/4 mile (or over 10 seconds) before the driver got there, which is plenty of time to slow down. Failure to slow down by the time the sign is passed is still speeding, and also proves the driver isn’t planning far enough ahead. On a real test the examiner might be more lenient, but in our experience if any speed limit is exceeded by 5mph then a serious fault will be given.
I passed my driving test first time last Wednesday , I had 15mnths off driving then booked my test with new instructor managed to get 5hrs in before my test and managed to pass
I find in a lot of these videos the learner is not entirely at fault - e.g. number 3, the red car was moving at an unreasonable speed for a residential area, or number 6 - they clearly dropped back after changing lanes and left more of a gap than the white car had from the one in front, and therefore was likely following by example. Yes they are at fault in the end but I feel this video is rather harsh in some ways.
Quick question, when unsure of the speed limit of the road you are driving in are you allowed to ask the examiner by any chance or is this something that should be figured out on ur own?
You need to work that out for yourself - as you would do after passing your test. In case it helps we made this video: Speed Limits: th-cam.com/video/L0eY0FfQ1rs/w-d-xo.html 👍🏼
I failed my first test for 2 serious. one was hesitation and other was I reduced speed when my examinar told me to take exit , so there was a truck behind me they changed the line .my next test date is next week at morning 8.20 am .
And then when you get out in "real" traffic, nobody drives according to the rules, quite the opposite actually. If you expect them to you will get in real trouble.
Nah, if they ain't following the rules, the faults on them, as long as you follow the rules and drive safely and get caught in an accident, it will be their fault and not yours
@@thearchives1094 But who wants to get their car hit? insurance might go up, price of the car goes down, you lost a decent amount of time on this new issue, etc. There have been multiple times where I had to "break" the rules in order to not get hit because some people have no idea how to drive.
Two miles earlier we said that we would be on the dual carriageway for about three miles, so were surprised when he moved to overtake the slower car. Even then, there were two other options that would have been safer than what they chose to do.
At 3.10, if the driver had a vehicle following closely behind them and so decided to continue to avoid being rear-ended, would their actions still result in a serious fault, or would that circumstance be taken into consideration?
10:45, no fault on the examiner. Student was going to signal and after being told they were going forward, put on the signal anyway. Straight fail and correct decision
I have been driving in my country for over 20 years and I have a full license, when I came to the UK I start observing the vehicles here and most if not all even the high end cars if you take a look at the side of the rims on the cars here they are scratched up so bad, it seems like everybody here hitting curbs. The things the examiner fail persons for, I see the same mistakes from people who have had their license for years, driving with one hand for an extended time smoking while driving, do you know how dangerous that could be if that cigarette falls from between your two fingers, I see people on the road every day who can’t even park their cars for all the years they are driving. Driving is a constant practice and there is no perfection in driving every car has its own feel and take sometime to get use to, some clutch is soft some gives you a bit of assistance, some examiner is really harsh, and the same mistakes they make everyday. I bet If you line them all up and say show me what u drive I bet the rims on all their cars will have a scratch.
All the wheels on both of our Nissan Leafs are still perfect - after 2.5 years of driving lessons. If you care about your car it is possible to avoid damaging it!
Test fail 6 : I think when the driver was planning to overtake, the examiner should have told them that they'd be taking the next exit. The examiner waits for them to be in the right most lane, overtaking vehicles joining from the slip lane and reveals about the exit. I find this strange.
The driver had already been told that they were taking the next exit, but still chose to overtake anyway. Their poor planning is what put them in that situation - however even then there were 2 safer options they could have taken instead of tailgating the silver car.
I thought 20 zones had to either have speedbumps or reinforcement through repeater signs or the painted circles in the road, otherwise a built up area is assumed to be 30?
Hello, I got 2 question about exams. 1. If I'm following slow traffic on the left lane, but I'm happy with that, and I would like to just let me finish the test in this way, as long as I get unlimited easy patience with no other commands from my examiner on that road. Such like on a 70mph D.C. road, and I'm following a queue of 45mph ~ 50mph traffic, if examiner doesn't tell me to change lane or overtake the queue, and I'm very happy with following slow like that. Nothing else examiner has said. So will I fail or be marked down as too slow (like appropriate speed) if I don't change my lane or don't overtake at all? 2. If I have to overtake a cyclist and oncoming lane is clear so I overtake on half of oncoming lane and half of my own lane, or even just right on the oncoming lane. Do I have to signal right, or am I allowed to signal right while I begin my overtaking? Thank you!
1: You are expected to make good progress and keep up with the flow of traffic - just as you should after your test. Of course every situation is different, but if you catch a very slow vehicle and it is safe to overtake then you probably should. The examiner should not have to tell you how to drive - their job is to decide whether you are a safe driver or not. If they feel you are driving too slowly for too long then they could fail you. 2: Consider whether your signal would help others or not. Do you indicate every time you pass a parked car? Are there any right turns nearby? You must decide whether a signal will confuse others or help them!
That depends on the situation - such as how much other traffic there is, and how far you need to go on that road. Remember that driving too slowly could frustrate other drivers, and potentially cause danger. The examiner is looking for a safe and confident driver - not someone who drives too slowly and delays other traffic.
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool Whatever that low speed is neither under my control nor my intention (e.g. like stuck ahead on my lane)? I thought that's the liability only belongs to that vehicle ahead which I'm following, since it seems like every other vehicle only impute to that leading vehicle ahead, but not mine.
Can't steer properly = okay. Brush curb, causing only easily fixable cosmetic damage to your wheel's trim = insant fail. Honestly, I've been in driver's cars and they can barely go around a corner without crashing and they passed their test.
But think of it this way, what if there had been pedestrians on the road? Mounting the curb, even by a tiny bit, shows poor vehicle control. If someone can hit a curb, what else are they capable of hitting?
The second fault is a strange one the light is always on green when you pause it from the very start this the man walks out with his bikes, in america this is called jaywalking and he would of been fined. If I am following a car and the light is green I don't expect him to stop and let people cross.
Rules can vary quite a lot in different countries, which is why we must be careful when driving abroad. For example, in the US you can turn right on a red traffic light - but that would be highly illegal in the UK!

3:10 imagine failing cause some idiot crosses whilst the lights are green.
Oh I know pisses me off. I live in the Peak District and loads of people fail because of stupid cyclists cutting you up and stuff
@@ivansime9127 haha happened to me. some old dude jumped on the crossing when he had red
Surely stopping is worst cause it risks someone going into your rear end?
It’s crap like that which scares me the most,the uncontrollable situations other people can create
@@TA-qo2nv I mean hitting a pedestrian is far worse than a fender bender.

I may be wrong but proving you can drive safely seemed to be the thing my examiner was looking for
Some of these fails are ridiculous. No wonder a large amount of people fail their test. Driving lessons and tests are just box ticking money grabbing industry nowadays.
Completely agree it is. Been driving two years now as a learner had to wait until this month to get my test it’s next Tuesday. I’m worried I’ll fail for something stupid after all the money I’ve wasted on lessons and bookings
So glad I passed first time, never wanna go through a test again.
They aren't that bad, its just so easy to screw up especially with an obscure situation when something seems 50/50, but the examiner preferred one option over the over.
I failed my first test for the same reason as person 1. In my defense the road was VERY poorly sign posted
for test fail 8, why didn't the instructor just let the lady turn and carry on rather than confusing her. It wasn't her fault, it was the instructors in this case 100%
3:08 the light was green way before he came so it wouldn’t be a fault the guy with bikes risked his own life to cross
The fact he has chosen to "risk his own life" indicates that you accept that it was a risk, the driver was in a position to remove that risk and so should have done so. I know we may wish to punish this type of stupidity, but you can't teach or endorse it.
Broken music makes me more scared and anxious... 😔🥺🥺🥺🥵
This is the very First video I have watched of yourself, that glass shattering noise really got me the first time 😆
Is is an amazing compilation very helpful!
Thank you very much. So useful.
The first car crash sounds made my ❤️ jumped out of my mouth😃🤣 That was scary!!
3:05 pedestrian just failed his walking test, now he'll have to ride the bike.
"if you're unsure whether to go then don't" ya and then i failed my test lol
Thank you 😊
On test fail 4, they need to put show a sign that a lower speed limit is ahead. There was no roadworks signs either so there was no early warning of a speed limit change. Maybe the examiner should have given the learner 10 seconds after passing thr speed limti sign until a fault is given
I know right. You cannot expect him to break harshly as following cars would most likely plow in the back of him. I felt he made the right choice gradually decreasing his speed?
This was a harsh fail as like you say no warning signs, think on a real test they'd give you a few seconds maybe 5-10 or something to slow down, can't be breaking hard, harsh fail for me that one
as a driver you’re meant to look ahead, so the learner should’ve noticed the sign of the new speed limit and gradually slowed down, as the speed limit becomes intact as soon as u reach the sign.
The police won't give ten seconds before slapping points on your licence. Drivers need to look as far ahead as possible so they can spot signage and react in good time.
really really high quality videos. Thank you.
I'm really happy with this videos thank you very much for help
Loving this as learner.😂🤣😂 Horrible things to experience
Same
7:05 going on the kerb is usually not a serious fault if done slowly
01:23 the examiner in a real test would ask the learner to slow down as your video states. Maybe you should do similar in a mock, especially considering the 20 is probably there for a reason!
Can we mention how the learner car is a fiesta ST?
Hello There, this was a really useful and decent video, thank you for sharing this, it's much appreciated. Cheers Peter :)
very useful video, thank you
Please remove crash sound.its unnecessarily scare s.
😂
I don't get test fail 4, the speed limit was 70mph & then all of a sudden 50mph, they did slow down gradually if you don't do it gradually wouldn't that slow down drivers behind & be to harsh?
Those 50mph signs are visible for 1/4 mile (or over 10 seconds) before the driver got there, which is plenty of time to slow down. Failure to slow down by the time the sign is passed is still speeding, and also proves the driver isn’t planning far enough ahead. On a real test the examiner might be more lenient, but in our experience if any speed limit is exceeded by 5mph then a serious fault will be given.
I passed my driving test first time last Wednesday , I had 15mnths off driving then booked my test with new instructor managed to get 5hrs in before my test and managed to pass
Well done! 🚙😃👍🏼
I find in a lot of these videos the learner is not entirely at fault - e.g. number 3, the red car was moving at an unreasonable speed for a residential area, or number 6 - they clearly dropped back after changing lanes and left more of a gap than the white car had from the one in front, and therefore was likely following by example. Yes they are at fault in the end but I feel this video is rather harsh in some ways.
I have my test next saturday at 8am . Hopefully its going to be super quiet so not risk of other people messing it up LOL.
You can do it! 🤞🏼
Got my test in an hour. Feeling nervous but ready
How did you get on?
Guy walking across the road clearly decided he was safe to regardless lol
it really helpful thank you so much
The crashing sound keeps making me jump!😂
THANKS 🙏 SO WONDERFUL TECHNIQUES
My test in two weeks and so nervous but I keep watching videos and revising from instructors website though
How did you get on?
@@stuartpodd465 I failed first test but passed second time with two minor faults 😊 thank you for asking x
Quick question, when unsure of the speed limit of the road you are driving in are you allowed to ask the examiner by any chance or is this something that should be figured out on ur own?
You need to work that out for yourself - as you would do after passing your test. In case it helps we made this video: Speed Limits: th-cam.com/video/L0eY0FfQ1rs/w-d-xo.html 👍🏼
Please remove the crash sound
That crashing sound is horrendous....
I failed my first test for 2 serious. one was hesitation and other was I reduced speed when my examinar told me to take exit , so there was a truck behind me they changed the line .my next test date is next week at morning 8.20 am .
No.5 failed my test, but I practiced religiously and passed 2 weeks later
Well done! 🚙👌🏼😃
Extremely useful
And then when you get out in "real" traffic, nobody drives according to the rules, quite the opposite actually. If you expect them to you will get in real trouble.
Nah, if they ain't following the rules, the faults on them, as long as you follow the rules and drive safely and get caught in an accident, it will be their fault and not yours
@@thearchives1094 But who wants to get their car hit? insurance might go up, price of the car goes down, you lost a decent amount of time on this new issue, etc. There have been multiple times where I had to "break" the rules in order to not get hit because some people have no idea how to drive.
thank you so much ❤
14:20 "steer or brake to avoid" which of the 2 did the car behind need to do? they were held up by the cyclist, they couldnt go
I passed first time...Touched the kerb once but got away with it..Happy..😊
Wooo! Well done 🚙👍🏼😎
I can't deal with that fake crash sound, driving me crazy
Thanks, very helpful, i passed my driving test today on my first attempt with zero comments.. 👍
Awesome - well done!!!
8:24 the examiner could have said take the next exit before he changed lanes to help traffic joining the dual carraigeway
Two miles earlier we said that we would be on the dual carriageway for about three miles, so were surprised when he moved to overtake the slower car. Even then, there were two other options that would have been safer than what they chose to do.
Got my test tomorrow wish me luck guys.
You can do it! 🤞🏼
Instructors nowadays are just to rip you off and expecting you to know everything from the beginning😏
非常感谢您的分享，太有帮助了，上帝保佑你们！❤❤❤❤
Translation: "Thank you so much for sharing, so helpful, God bless you guys"
At 3.10, if the driver had a vehicle following closely behind them and so decided to continue to avoid being rear-ended, would their actions still result in a serious fault, or would that circumstance be taken into consideration?
There was plenty of time to stop smoothly, so there should not be any need to brake harshly and cause danger.
Thanks for your reply, appreciated.
i failed today because i forgot to indicate on a mini roundabout :(
I think the first guy must have been looking at the police car and just didn't notice the sign.
10:45, no fault on the examiner. Student was going to signal and after being told they were going forward, put on the signal anyway. Straight fail and correct decision
I have been driving in my country for over 20 years and I have a full license, when I came to the UK I start observing the vehicles here and most if not all even the high end cars if you take a look at the side of the rims on the cars here they are scratched up so bad, it seems like everybody here hitting curbs. The things the examiner fail persons for, I see the same mistakes from people who have had their license for years, driving with one hand for an extended time smoking while driving, do you know how dangerous that could be if that cigarette falls from between your two fingers, I see people on the road every day who can’t even park their cars for all the years they are driving. Driving is a constant practice and there is no perfection in driving every car has its own feel and take sometime to get use to, some clutch is soft some gives you a bit of assistance, some examiner is really harsh, and the same mistakes they make everyday. I bet If you line them all up and say show me what u drive I bet the rims on all their cars will have a scratch.
All the wheels on both of our Nissan Leafs are still perfect - after 2.5 years of driving lessons. If you care about your car it is possible to avoid damaging it!
Test fail 6 : I think when the driver was planning to overtake, the examiner should have told them that they'd be taking the next exit. The examiner waits for them to be in the right most lane, overtaking vehicles joining from the slip lane and reveals about the exit. I find this strange.
The driver had already been told that they were taking the next exit, but still chose to overtake anyway. Their poor planning is what put them in that situation - however even then there were 2 safer options they could have taken instead of tailgating the silver car.
That pedestrian crossing the road 😧
I thought 20 zones had to either have speedbumps or reinforcement through repeater signs or the painted circles in the road, otherwise a built up area is assumed to be 30?
Some areas have extra traffic calming measures to help enforce the limit, but others are simply speed limit signs only. Watch out!
Hello, I got 2 question about exams.
1. If I'm following slow traffic on the left lane, but I'm happy with that, and I would like to just let me finish the test in this way, as long as I get unlimited easy patience with no other commands from my examiner on that road. Such like on a 70mph D.C. road, and I'm following a queue of 45mph ~ 50mph traffic, if examiner doesn't tell me to change lane or overtake the queue, and I'm very happy with following slow like that. Nothing else examiner has said. So will I fail or be marked down as too slow (like appropriate speed) if I don't change my lane or don't overtake at all?
2. If I have to overtake a cyclist and oncoming lane is clear so I overtake on half of oncoming lane and half of my own lane, or even just right on the oncoming lane. Do I have to signal right, or am I allowed to signal right while I begin my overtaking?
Thank you!
1: You are expected to make good progress and keep up with the flow of traffic - just as you should after your test. Of course every situation is different, but if you catch a very slow vehicle and it is safe to overtake then you probably should. The examiner should not have to tell you how to drive - their job is to decide whether you are a safe driver or not. If they feel you are driving too slowly for too long then they could fail you.
2: Consider whether your signal would help others or not. Do you indicate every time you pass a parked car? Are there any right turns nearby? You must decide whether a signal will confuse others or help them!
That depends on the situation - such as how much other traffic there is, and how far you need to go on that road. Remember that driving too slowly could frustrate other drivers, and potentially cause danger. The examiner is looking for a safe and confident driver - not someone who drives too slowly and delays other traffic.
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool Whatever that low speed is neither under my control nor my intention (e.g. like stuck ahead on my lane)? I thought that's the liability only belongs to that vehicle ahead which I'm following, since it seems like every other vehicle only impute to that leading vehicle ahead, but not mine.
Thanks
Can't steer properly = okay.
Brush curb, causing only easily fixable cosmetic damage to your wheel's trim = insant fail.
Honestly, I've been in driver's cars and they can barely go around a corner without crashing and they passed their test.
Last Friday i passed driving test with one minor issue.
I thought that style of driving was normal especially in London 😂😊🤣🤣
Imagine failing someone for mounting the curb a little bit. It should be a minor flaw at most. Obviously this isn’t the channels fault.
But think of it this way, what if there had been pedestrians on the road? Mounting the curb, even by a tiny bit, shows poor vehicle control. If someone can hit a curb, what else are they capable of hitting?
@@remyhadley6595 lets see how many stupid little mistakes you make on the road then
The second fault is a strange one the light is always on green when you pause it from the very start this the man walks out with his bikes, in america this is called jaywalking and he would of been fined. If I am following a car and the light is green I don't expect him to stop and let people cross.
Rules can vary quite a lot in different countries, which is why we must be careful when driving abroad. For example, in the US you can turn right on a red traffic light - but that would be highly illegal in the UK!
