I'm officially part of the "passed but still watches these videos" club. I passed with 4 minors last week this channel helped me so much, thank you👍
Well done on passing and thanks for watching 😊
Ikr😭 I cant stop watching these and idk why
Please! Do you have any tips? I did a mock with my driving instructor only got 5 but I still feel so worried!
Congrats, but I'm not sure if their parents are happy!
Same
you’re so funny 😂 that’s exactly how I think as a learner driver:
oncoming car- ‘aaargghh’
Parked vehicles-‘arrhhhh’
Junctions-‘aaarrghhh’
Truck- ‘-argghh’
Having to give way when it’s my right of way -‘grrrr’
But in honesty, after watching your video I feel much more confident at driving.
Thanks so much Richard 😄🙏🏻
😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Samee i'm a panicking mess
Exactly! I need a series of videos like this!
Love this video it give me confidence
Eagerly waiting for "Common Learner Driver Mistakes - part 2"
Me too
Me too and I'm a driving instructor lol!!
"Well, the wing mirror is still on"😂😂
I recently thought that on road #day6 😅
😂😂😂 ya it actually made me laugh
Just passed this morning, couldn't have done it without Richard!
Congratulations on passing, I'm happy to hear that I've helped 😊
I failed my test first time about 2 years ago. I was so upset and didn't want to do it again after. I came across your videos and I've watched most of them, some more than once. It helped me feel more confident to try again. I put my test on hold end of May and got a date in July.I literally watched your videos everyday. I passed second time today 😊. You have no idea how much you helped me. Thank you so much.
Congratulations! I'm so pleased to hear that!
Man that clip of the stalling at junctions pierced my soul
fr
Just wanted to say a huge thank-you for your time and effort in your videos, with my instructors help and your help, I managed to pass today with 2 minors! I'm already recommending your video's to people!
Thank you so much for watching and congratulations on passing!
I see this time and again. Nice to see you raising some awareness to it. 🙌
I've watched so many driving test related videos and yours is the best of all of them! it is really to the point and easy to understand- i have made a lot of progress since watching your videos! thank you!
You are such a calm soul, I love your videos
I’ve just started learning to drive and Richard’s tips have helped me so much. Thank you! 👏🏼👏🏼
Loving all your videos,I’m on my 8th driving lesson and your videos are really helping😀👍can’t wait for part 2.xxx
The narrow road scenario 😭😂😂 Good tips! I'll remember these for my test next month.
I really appreciate the effort you put into this channel. It has helped me learn a lot when I was intimidated by a stickshift and now it's all muscle memory : )
Passed my test last year but still love watching your videos as they're simple, to the point and positive! Also - love the Seat, cute little thing that! :D
I am actually learning now. So perfect timing for this video. You are the best.
Great perception in the shoes of a learner and approach the presentation as such. Well Done!
Thank you very much for sharing your work with us, cheers!!
Watching your videos gives me oozing confidence, not arrogance to drive but confidence. I am learning.
Having had my licence revoked, failing my first test after that I've now passed again with 1 minor. Your channel has made me a better driver than I ever had been and I can't thank you enough👍🙌 I'll recommend you to everyone !
You have the best driving videos on youtube man thanks for all the help
been watching your driving videos since i started learning manual!! hello from the other side of the world, australia haha
thanks for your videos, your explanations have been very clear and easy to understand. been improving with your help !
Thank you for that last mistake. It makes so much sense to me because I always feel like I should be doing things faster!
I was nodding my head and smiling all the way through this Richard.
Really helpful video as usual, looking forward to part two 🙂
I've got my driving lesson and felt nervous. This video cheered me up. Thanks 😊
One of your best videos yet dude. Excellent job, especially with the thoughts.
Another problem I find a few of my pupils do is accidentally go in the wrong gear (changing too quickly, wrong technique).
I'd definitely love another video!
Just feel ‘bingo’ when u mention the mistakes, SUPER helpful video. Many thanks indeed
Thanks for being such a great instructor. I am from Germany but your tips really helped me out a lot. Greetings ! 👍🏼
Your advice about centralising car with left feet is incredibly helpful.
You're awesome,your videos are helping here in the Caribbean as we drive on the same side
I passed today! 🎉 Your videos made all the difference, thank you so much 👍🏻
Great video as always, keep it up man
Thanks a million for all your videos and the incredibly useful information that you share with us! You are a lifesaver! :)
I love videos like these. These are all the mistakes I make while learning. Please post some more. Thank you for the useful videos and also they are very funny, made me laugh. :)
Thanks... I've learned so much from your great videos.
That rushing tip is really helpful!
Its like what i was taught when i played guitar- slow is smooth and smooth is fast
Passed my driving test today with 0 official driving lessons! Thank you do much these videos really helped to fill in the knowledge I was missing from not having an instructor.
Congratulations! What a massive result to pass without lessons! You must have really studied and practiced.
@@ConquerDriving yes I watched a lot of your videos and drove everyday and it paid off!! Thanks again :)
@@elliee5864 How long did it take you?
Superb! Thank you as always.
Have a lesson in 30mins and you've helped more than you'd think! Thank you!!!!!!!!
Carry on Richard many people need you
Interesting to hear that being a passenger imprints those driving habits of experienced drivers. Confirmed my thoughts. I noticed that right after my first few driving classes on the public road. It takes some time to get rid of it and then learn gradually in a slower tempo. Very helpful driving videos. Thank you!
That's super helpful, thank you!
These videos have been a huge help and always bring great clarity to some of the problems I've faced. Passed last week first time and I think you've been a great help, Richard! Thank you.
Congratulations on passing!
This is the type of stuff I wished I learned in school. Thanks!
It helps a lot...Thank you for the sharing again Sir
Best actor of the year! 😁 Good understanding of learner drivers!!!👍
I just got a new car and have been driving for a few weeks... And I've scraped my car a couple of times because of my own mistakes. That tip about rushing has really opened up my eyes even though I knew it was a problem I had, yet hearing you say it made it click in very well. I'm a car enthusiast and I really want to perfect my driving skills. Your videos are slowly giving me back the confidence to drive again.
Part of being a good captain is being a calm captain. Do things in your own time and give yourself a chance to think.
Hi, I already passed my test but still watching your video as highly educational and helpful. Thank you!!
You are so good at this, amazing vids
Very useful and informative video. Thanks for the lessons.
Great help!! Just had another lesson and took my time and stopped rushing off the clutch and it went so much better
I'm happy to hear that!
Thank you so much for this video!
Thank you for all your videos!! I passed last week and your videos certainly helped. Thank you 🙌🏾
Congratulations on passing!
My first car is a 2017 Leon 3 door FR, absolutely in love with it!
They're very good cars. I've had mine for 7.5 year's now.

Been a subscriber from 2020 and I watch your videos with such enjoyment everytime you post, even tho I'm not from UK (hello from Romania 🇷🇴✌️) I am a begginer and your advices and the presentations are so nicely described and well presented, keep doing what you are doing ! 😀
PS: Definitely make a part 2 out of this.
Thank you for watching for so long 😊
Thank you so much for your work. I'm currently a learner driver in Sweden, and while some of the details and rules differ, the principles about safety and car handling carry over perfectly. You're a great teacher, and you've helped me a lot!
Thank you for watching 😊
Please make it Richard, if you haven't already. Thanks a lots for all your helpful tips, my exam coming up in just 4 weeks, and I'm super nervous.
So helpful please make more videos like this.... Thank you
I love this guy he’s just sooo humble
He’s the only TH-camr that’s got time to read and reply to ALL of his comments ❤️
Aww thank you, I'm not sure how long I can keep it up for, it does take a while these days.
I thought to leave a comment. Its been a while i am watching your videos, keep doing this, its a best support a learner driver can get.
Thank you, I have a second video on the same subject.
All my problems summed up in one video lol You are so good !!!
I would definitely like another part !
You're an Angel. Thanks for the video.
Great video. Thank you 🙏🏼
Wow, Richard you are really a god. These are the exact panic moments I feel right now, specially that fast passing SUV and small gap l. I will really like a sequal.
Thank you for all the videos I passed first time last week and couldn’t possibly have done it without you! 😀
Congratulations on passing, I'm happy to hear I've helped 😊
Such a great and informative video!! Thank you very much for this!! :))
Thank you so much these videos help a ton 👍
As an experienced learner:
I rushed taking my time. Often, I was making a certain manouevre my instructor and I wanted to exercise, and we ended up wasting both our time because I was too afraid of how good I already was. If your instructor wants you to do something, they trust you can, and trust me, they have had enough experience to know you can.
For example: I could've taken a roundabout after waiting for some cyclists, I could've made a clean turn at a dead-end road before someone else was about to leave. You really have to trust yourself, especially after the first lesson (or to be fair, at any time, everyone learns at their own pace). You learn these motor-skills (no pun intended) within your first 6-8 lessons, and don't worry if it takes more. You just need to get the hang and swing of it
My most important tips:
If you feel inconfident, to the point that you don't even want to take driving lessons: go for it. You'll surprise yourselves. It's a lot at the start, you have to take care of so much, mind for so many things, and get the hang of the motor skills of steering, while handling the pedals and the clutch (pun is always intended). Just chill out. You got your instructor beside you, and there are some people who are incredibly clusmy or absent-minded who easily managed their lessons and exam. Sure people die in car accidents, but don't let that frighten you.
I felt bad about my first two driving lessons, but I did my slope test (not sure how you guys call it: hanging at an incline/decline and holding the brake until the clutch tells you it's ready to set off) and parking perfectly. Sure you have to pay attention to a lot, but once the driving itself becomes second nature to you, the motor-skills required to handle (again, no pun intended) steering, using the pedals, applying the clutch, it's super easy. You've always got someone beside you paying attention, until it's clear as day that you don't need it. And even then, in dangerous situations, most people handle (I swear it's not a pun) themselves quite neatly, even in traffic, when tensions can reach a boiling point of no return.
I’m teaching my kids, my daughter is taking her test shortly and my son has just started, getting a driving instructor is hard here they are chock a block, ours can only manage one lesson a week, so I fill in the gaps (he says he’d hire me so thats good lol) we work together and your videos are great tutorials for teachers as well as pupils!
You are the best instructor...
I agree with the rushing part.
I started making progress when I started taking my time with everything. Even in a junction I take my time and I don't miss a pedestrian or something. Rushing is a huge issue...
Very helpful. Waiting for the next video. Thanks
I have my test today... So nervous but these videos are really helping me
I hope it goes well. Good luck!
@@ConquerDriving I passed thank you
Really helpful thank you 😊
Just passed today with 3 minors!! ♥️ your videos helped so much!
Congratulations on passing! Thanks for watching, I'm happy to hear the videos have helped. 😊
You legend, I passed with 4 minors today with the help of your videos! Thanks, keep it up!
Congratulations! I'm happy to hear the videos helped!
Great content mate, very clear and articulate as always. Btw, I got my license today, your videos helped a lot, thank you! 😁
Thank you and congratulations!
Crazy how accurate every point is 😂
Because of your videos, I passed my driving test .
You calmed my anxiety
You are a great teacher
That's great to hear, congratulations on passing!
Found this really useful. I'm definitely guilty of the "Aggggghhhhs" everytime something large comes the other way 😂
I passed today with 2 minors and couldn’t be happier. Thank you for all the help!
That's fantastic news, congratulations on passing!
Totally relatable, love from India🖤
Hey just wanted to say your videos helped a lot. Passed my test firt time today 🎉
Congratulations! Thank you for watching and I hope you enjoy driving!
Actually love your "acting" and interaction during your vids😅Xx
Great video, as an instructor myself I absolutely agree with all your points and raise them with my own learners! I'm not considering any videos of my own as there's a lot of great content out there (and I'll recommend yours to my lot too) but it's great to see short content with a bit of humour added in. Nice car too, love the SEATs 👌
Love all your videos! 😂😂😂
I loved your comment on rushing, trying to drive the car from a passengers view. Bottom line, I CANNOT DRIVE LIKE OTHERS, not straight away anyway. Thank you Richard
I learned the lesson quite well, thank god nothing happened to me. Now I always check mirrors in roundabouts, because in my motorbike (I'm learning how to drive a car at the same time) I was doing 1st to 3rd exit and from 2nd to 3rd exit I was indicating left, the car from the 2nd exit cuts me off on the left and blames me for swing left. Of course, I need to leave the roundabout. From that day, I'm constantly check every single mirror in roundabouts hahah, even in car.
I have just booked my first car yesterday here in India and immediately realised that I need good TH-cam videos on car driving lessons. After going through lots of videos, I finally found the treasure of quality car driving lessons from one of the best car driving learning instructor on the TH-cam. Thanks Mate for keeping playlist of Lessons for Beginners. It made my search much shorter on TH-cam. Cheers!!!
You're very welcome, I'm happy to hear that.
