U make good videos i watch them everytime there is a new one posted
Where u from
We haven’t made any videos about the extended test yet, but we’ll add it to our list.
these videos help me
"this is a fairly common situation, especially during the summer" - lol sums it up here in the UK - wet all day long
I took my motorcycle test in June in 2016 and it was sunny and warm, and incidentally took my drivers licence test last June, again clear skies and sunny. Passed both the DAS and car licence first time. Good weather is beneficial for your motorcycle test.
I've don't over 20 tests a few years ago and 20 more recently and I've not driven in rain yet. It is possible depsite this being the UK. I'm watching this video as the forecast is for rain today 😂 😂 😂 but then knowing my luck it won't rain today
It started to rain during my test, nerves got the better of me and I forgot about the distance requirements, until the examiner pointed it out to me. I instantly thought i'd failed, turned out not, passed with 2 minors! :)
rly?I thought if the examiner had to point it out it would be a fail, well there you go haha
that should be a serious fault. sounds like a very unprofessional examiner
well... if it's raining that bad, at least you know your Tell Me won't be an under-the-bonnet question ;)
The tell me question is where you explain how, you don't show them how. The show me will always happen during the test, for example an emergency stop or using certain functions safely whilst driving
@@ChloboM69 some tell me questions ask you to open the bonnet first
JUST WANTED TO SAY A MASSIVE THANK YOU FOR THE CONTENT UPLOADED - PASSED MY DRIVING TEST FIRST TIME ON THE 1ST OF FEB, IT WAS SNOWY AND THE CONDITIONS WERE QUITE BAD BUT THE TEST WENT AHEAD AND I PASSED WITH 0 MINORS!
Very well done - passing in that weather must have been a challenge!
0 minors!!?!?!? Teach me your wsys!
this is extremely smart and lucky, who was your instructor and which company.
The most difficult thing about driving in the rain can be reading the road markings, especially if they are faded. If you do not know the area or do not have vast experience and great awareness it can be challenging and you can easily end up making a serious mistake but not seeing important road markings.
If you end up in the wrong lane, then go the wrong way. The examiner won't fail you for taking a wrong turn if it was unsafe to take the other turn as directed
Watched this before my test today as I knew it would be heavily raining and I passed first time!!!
Wooo! Well done :-)
Pass the test 3 days ago first attempt! Keep practicing watch your mirros like there is no tomorrow ! Thanks for this videos it helped me alot.
Well done! 😀👍🏼
Many thanks for these very useful tips and advice when driving in the rain great job guys xx
Got a test tomorrow and was just thinking about the possibility of rain! Thanks for this
Thank you for these tips. Even tho I am not from the UK (and I don’t live there). I can still use these tips for my Dutch driving test 👍🏻
Thnak you so much for the really helpful video to drive during the rain.
I passed my test in the rain, got a minor for wetting up some pedastrians though 😁
LFMAOOOOO
Wish me luck bro tomorrow i got test
@@willad5381 did you pass bro
Don't start your test with the fuel warning light on, like above! :D
Unless it’s you own car, then it’s the instructors responsibility to make sure there is enough fuel
Nice Information....I always have followed you!
Passed my practical with no minors. Your videos really have been helpful and just wanted to say thanks. 😁
Well done for passing - getting a clean sheet is very unusual! Good luck on the road 🚙👍🏼
This video was actually very useful, especially as the car in this video is the same as my instructors. Thanks :)
Just had my test to today and passed, it was forecast to snow and rain but fortunately it didn’t. So glad I found your TH-cam channel it has helped me out a lot, keep up the great work 👍🏿
Very well done!
Advance Driving School thanks !
I’ve had rain on a normal lesson so if it rains of my test day I should be prepared for it
Good explain Thanks
I passed thanks to this channel.. They cover everything here its the best on youtube (Trust me ive seen many) Advanced Driving is just that.. i learnt more here than i did with a real instructor. 2 minors al take that.. Defensive driving is Key for me and the most important the thing to remember more than anything is Forward planning dont look down, look up and see what's coming UP. 🍾😁
Thanks very much! Well done for passing - and good luck on the road :-)
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool Thankyou so much.. Great content.
This video uploaded on the day when the roads have snow and ice on. Makes the rain not seem so bad! haha
Thank you guys, I passed my driving test last week and ur videos help a lot and guess what, it was raining :D . Anyways best of luck and I am still subscribed as reinforcement is good. ur awesome!
Ha - well done for passing (in the rain!) 🚙👍🏼
Hi Advanced Driving School, would just like to say I've passed my test 1st time! All thanks to your invaluable videos! It happened to be raining on my driving test today and was panicking a bit. This was the last video I watched. Thank you!
Excellent! Well done 👍🏼😆🚙
Great. Whole of August was dry and sunny and today out of all days it decides to start pouring
I had my driving test today, weather was horrendous! I passed with 2 minors though, only watching this after lol
Well done for passing 👍🏼
I had my test this Monday and it was pouring... I don't know how I passed 😂
YD 127 same man haha
I think it’s just because we are so used to walk in the rain, and don’t realise that we are still in the rain but in the car lol 😂
It has rained in the majority of my lessons up to now so I’m pretty prepared for it :)
Just passed my driving test today thank you so much for your channel your Video really helpful ❤️
Great job!
Gonna get my friend who's learning to drive to watch this channel.I swear learners should practice in all weather and at night though, I even had a few of my lessons in the dark, snow ect.I was naughty and went on the motorway as well, it's good that learners are allowed to now.I was confident enough to drive to Poland the week after passing 😁
I was failed my test last Monday I’m so disappointed 😔 I was so close to passing this test I was done everything good and when I need to go Westly Road I was did very small mistake I got 8 total falt including 1 serious falt I’m very hope less because my theory will be finish on 21st April 😞
That's enough time, just don't be nervous. A way I like to look at the road, is that everyone besides me has right of way😂
Sorry to hear that you didn't pass. Work on your mistakes, and better luck next time!
Keep going u will pass.
I passed on my one yesterday, but I’m still here 😂
Thanks for coming back! There’s always something more to learn about with driving 👍🏼
I’ve my driving test in 2 hours and heavy rain pouring down, thanks for this video l.
Good luck! 🤞🏼
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool I’ve passed, thank you so much 👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼
Excellent - well done!!!
Nice video
Just the set up I already fail lol😅
I always set these videos up onto my onboard display so i can watch these videos while driving, helps so much!
Please don't watch videos whilst driving, that is very dangerous. You're distracted by the video and won't be paying enough attention to the road and could end up in an accident
What sports Ford is that ?
Also will you be failed if you can’t work wipers like if it’s a new car just before the exam...
It’s a Fiesta ST. Yes, you will need to know how your wipers work - as the examiner won’t do it for you!
My test is in 3 hours and it’s pouring it down, I’ve never been so nervous because I hate driving in rain
Good luck! 🤞🏼
Advance Driving School I passed!!
Well done!!!
Just had my test and failed because my approach speed at a roundabout was too high because of the weather. He said if I did that speed normally it would’ve been fine but it was heavy rain so it should’ve been slower. Thought I was going to get away with good weather but nope! Just as we set off it started pouring it down. Gotta love england. Hopefully I’ll past on my second attempt
Better luck next time :-)
no advices to roll down and up side windows in order to clean up it of the rain drops
I’ve failed my first ever driving test on Monday 28th with 2 serious faults and 12 minors. I got 6 minors for steering wide repeatedly hence a serious and I got a serious for following a car too close where the examiner intervened and told me to hang back. Otherwise I got an easy test route and followed road signs. I didn’t cause any real danger so I drove form the test centre and stopped outside the test centre with a smooth drive.
I’d consider it a learning experience as I was fully prepared, but my 2nd test is booked in three weeks time. My instructor will be helping me work out on the errors and help me regain the confidence.
Yes, hopefully a few lessons to polish up your faults and you could pass next time. Good luck!
Hi
I just want to ask what is the best spread limit to drive in rain or wet conditions
That depends on what type of road you are on / the road surface / sharpness of any bends / hazards present etc. You must decide what speed is safest. 👍🏼
my test is in a couple of hours and i’m so scared because it’s raining like crazy!
Good luck 🤞🏼
I'm watching because I have my test in a few hours .... it's raining 🌧 but I'll be fine in Jesus name
me too!!! how did you get on?!
As ave got a car now. Do you know when I have to change my wheels as you have to change after so long Cos ave not got a clue
Unless they are damaged, there is no need to change wheels on most cars (apparently on a Bugatti Veyron the wheels do need replacing every so often). If you meant the tyres, then the Highway Code tells us what to look out for 👍🏼
It was raining the day I failed my test 😂
Dont let it put you off.. Re-book go over your mistakes and keep going. 👌🏼👍🏼
NaGz Vevo thank you i will
Now get some more tips from this video
this is great because the met office says there'll be 10-14mm/hour DURING my test and i'm so nervous now 😭
You can do it! Good luck 🤞🏼
Random Question! Do I hear you doing the voice over on the Stansted shuttle train? I could have sworn it was you.
No, that’s not Ann. 😆
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool haha lol. Sounds so similar it's untrue! I did my driving test years ago but still love watching your videos!
Thanks - we'll listen out for the voice next time we're there!
I have my coming soon but forecast says snow 🤣😂
The official guidance from the DVSA is to turn up for your test as normal, and if the conditions are safe the test will go ahead. If the examiner decides that it isn’t safe, then they will postpone the test to a later date. Good luck!
Advance Driving School would the test still carry on if it snows or snow/rain together ?
What is the safest way to drive in evening when its raining non stop, as one can see from front and back mirrors bit door mirrors side ones are not clear due to rain on them, so should we keep the safe distance from the front car aka 4sec gap as side mirrors don't help in such situation???
Drive a little slower in the rain (as you have less grip and visibility) and ensure you don't follow the car in front too closely in case they brake suddenly. Pay attention and you should be fine 👍🏼
got my test later on today and the rain is horrific, so scared haha
Good luck! 🤞🏼
The worst thing is that imagine ina driving test you’ve always drove when there isn’t rain nor have u used the controls in the car
Where can u get rainx from for clearing windscreen?
Anywhere that sells stuff for cars. 👍🏼
today was my driving test, and everything was going right and very good, but in the middle of the test it was pouring rain, and the speed was 50 was driving 40, and I did everything well...but was shocked when he said I failed because of the slow speed I don’t know what is fair If a student fails because he follows his and other's safety !! i don't know what to say!! in general, I will try again and will not give up!
Sorry to hear that you didn’t pass 😞
Can you do a video how to set our mirrors wen driving.
This video might help: Effective Mirror Checks th-cam.com/video/2UqvLUWhKuU/w-d-xo.html
U mean setting um whilst driving which is ofc dangerouse ™ lol?
1 feb 2020 is my driving. test.iam from Australia. there is 💯 percent thunderstorm ..so i m confused should i go for it or cancel that??
You've got nothing to lose - go for it! If the weather is too bad for the test to go ahead, they'll rearrange it for you probably.
In all fairness rain isn’t too bad, keep control of the vehicle and keep the view clear and you should be ok.
What is anti lock breaking system?
It helps you stay in control when braking hard or on slippery surfaces. Google ‘ABS’ for a more thorough explanation. 👍🏼
Hi i need to ask one thing my instractor told me to go from middle on single carraige way round about no need to go from left lane because its sigle carraige way is that true because after two days my test please reply me soon there is no marking on roundabouts
Junctions can vary so we can’t advise what to do without being there. I’m sure your instructor knows best 👍🏼
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool Thanks alot so nice of you that you replied to me i isually watched ur videos and othet videos i watched everyone say to go from left lane i couldnot find any video on you tube from any one who is explaning that how can we go straight from single carriage way if you have any one please send me my test center is kingstanding one there is some videos on kingstanding test routs aswell i donot know you go there or you know about that please if you know anything let me know because all other instrator i think follow to the left lane so

Guys I have test tomorrow could give me some tips please write below

I have no tips unfortunately as I’m waiting to take my test ,but good luck
I just failed with 2 serious fault😭😭
Sorry to hear that you didn't pass. Keep working on whatever you failed on, and better luck next time :-)
Thanks it was positioning on the dual carriageway as I was driving on the right hand lane and the other one was signaling at the wrong time
I knew somebody who failed the test, because they didn’t use the de mister
We must know how to use all of the cars wiper and de-mister controls, so we can maintain good visibility through the windows. It’s not the examiners job to do this, so if we can’t see, and can’t fix the problem - the test might be stopped. I’m sure your friend improved their car knowledge before their next attempt at the test!
Advance Driving School She did pass not long after that set back !
So they didn’t turn it on whilst driving or before
Please I have questions if Driving exams missed to see speeds limited national speed limits sing Single carriageway county narrows area , if I ask to examiner what spped limite ?
It’s your responsibility to know the current speed limit - the examiner won’t help with that on a test.
Bruh I have mine tomorrow and of course it rains tomorrow 😂
How can I find an instructor women in my area ?😢😢
Google 😉
Guys I have my exam on Saturday and it’s raining all day sooo please wish me
Luck that I pass
You can do it! 🤞🏼
Is not pressing vehicle checks serious fault ? So i find it distracting especially during a test 😅when you have your own car you’ll turn it on in your own time 😂😂😂😂
If your car control is affected whilst operating the wipers etc then you could be given a serious fault. Make sure you learn your test car thoroughly so you can operate it safely. 👍🏼
I have my test today and it's raining now. I'm so nervous
You can do it! 🤞🏼
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool I passed. 5 minors!
Excellent - well done! 🚗👌🏼😃
If you’ve been learning to drive 6 months n the UK you would’ve had to drive in the rain alot
I've don't 20 lessons a few years back and 20 recently... I've not driven in rain once and I'm in the UK. It is possible to have not, I've managed to miss it everytime 🤷♀️
Nvm rain what about snow 😦
The examiner will probably cancel the test if there is snow or ice - and then rebook it for a later date.
