I passed my driving test with two minors on Monday, it was so much less stressful than I was expecting, had a lovely chat with the examiner throughout the whole test (my biggest tip for others is to do commentary driving, it helps you focus so so much) your videos were so helpful & keep them up ❤
@@OllieShaw-ls4uq roughly 30-35 hours, but i had literally no driving experience whatsoever so if you have some you can do it in much shorter time frame
@OllieShaw-ls4uqput in as many hours behind the wheel as possible, instructor or not, drive everywhere as much as you can. Nothing can replace pure practice and experience
The best and only hack is not to stress! I made a big mistake on a roundabout taking the 3rd exit on the right and I forgot to indicate right then I just knew I failed but didn’t stress myself and did the rest of my test well, guess what I passed with only 3 minors the the examiner said when I asked him how he didn’t fail me for that roundabout, he said I can drive well and may be it’s the nerves made me forgot to indicate and he wouldn’t fail me for that. I was so happy so the only hack is don’t stress yourself
I really needed to see this comment ! My test is tomorrow and I'm terrified of roundabouts I'm hoping I don't make the error but if I do I hope I have the same luck as you !
Hi there - I am an advanced learner with my test HOPEFULLY next month. If I had to guess, the reason why you weren't marked down for that is perhaps your actions didn't affect any other road user or cause them to be confused? That would, to me, most likely be the case. Either way, well done and I hope I can join you (figuratively speaking) on the roads! 😃
Passed my test today, spent most of my evenings watching your videos and they helped a huge amount, didn't help that my instructors car blew up so had to take my test in a completely different car!
I passed my test on Tuesday 3rd September, watching this helped immensely. I was super nervous, eating a light breakfast and breathing exercises helped during the test. Also small talk with the examiner kept my nerves in check.
@@OllieShaw-ls4uq over 30 hours since May last year. I have previous driving experience as long as 19yrs ago. I had a fail in December 23, and a no show in march (my instructor's vehicle broke down a few days before test).
Thank you sooo much for making this video I PASSED MY TEST by doing everything you mentioned. It helped me calm my nerves and focus on driving. Very motivating and helpful.
I just passed first time this morning with 5 minors. I had a last minute drama moment when my train didn't depart so my driving instructor had to do a James Bond and collect me in the next town! I had to jump into my test with zero warm up!! But it was all okay in the end. I surely watched this video the night before as I was falling asleep!!! Thankyouuuuu Francis!!! I will absolutely keep watching these during my first months on the road. Now it's time to buy a car and get on the road later this week! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Good luck everyone !!!
Had my second driving test this morning and watched this video last night and glad to say I passed , your videos helped me out a lot … thank you Francis !
Thank you for the tips, you give the best driving instructions on youtube, got my test this afternoon and looking forward to passing it. Thanks for the last minute tips!
Passed previously had my license revoked a few years ago now going for it again, can I just say your advice is 10/10 your tips are spot on got my test on Monday and will be watching your videos religiously til then 👍🏼👌🏼
@@nine182 i went up onto the kerb and wasn’t able to get myself off again basically. i think i was just getting more and more worked up and ended up making a huge mess of it😭
I have a little story about my driving test the night before I went to an evening football game to watch the team I support we played Notts County lost 3-0 I got the last train home at 22.30 got home at midnight went straight to bed got up at around 0730 08.00 the next morning met my instructor just after 09.00 at home drove to Newton Abbot where the test centre from my house in Paignton which is 7 miles did the warm up hour had a break went in for my test at 11.11 came back and passed it 3 minor faults and with the head examiner as well that was 27th of September 2017 7 years ago now.
This coming August 31 at 12:15 noon that’s my first attempt exam . Hope and I am praying that this exam I can make it with confident and pass this exam in Jesus name 👏👏👏👏👏 Thanks a lots for this amazing tips ❤️❤️❤️
My exam was today and my instructor told me that i was wasting my money. He suggested me to cancel my test. But i was confident enough and after seeing this video before the night of my exam gave me full confidence. And i passed my test today in my 1st attempt.
I learnt something new yesterday and thought I’d share it with you all, if you’re not sure what a thick red line next to the kerb at a bus stop means, it means exactly the same thing as a thick yellow line, it’s just showing that it’s part of a red route, it means other vehicles are prohibited from stopping, only buses can stop, private hire vehicles can’t stop at 'bus stop clearways' marked with a wide yellow line by the kerb, on red routes both taxis and private hire vehicles can’t stop at bus stops marked with a wide red line by the kerb.
Sadly failed my first test with a 1 serious fault for judgement and 1 minor for clearance! I was driving on a narrow road with double parked cars and my examiner said I was too close to the parked cars on the left, giving me a major fault for it! In my opinion I had a decent gap still and he didn't have to say it urgently or grab the wheel, so a bit surprised it was a serious fault, but hopefully I will get it next time!
Ive got my drfiving test tomorrow. I failed recently on my mock with 2 fails, for hesitation. but I am doing my test tomorrow in my car as my instructor does not feel I am ready but I feel I am. I drove really well to. Braintree Freeport, there and back xx
tommorow the test i feel like the hulk then all of sudden few hours later the nerves rush break in then few hours later back to hulk then same again hope im the hulk on the test
I have my test next Wednesday, and I have a question, if still I need to put the handbrake on when I'm waiting on the traffic lights? or when to use the handbrake? thank you for the answers
I have my driving test on Wednesday really excited and hope it goes well. Your channel seems to really be helping with tips and at easing my nerves. Fingers crossed it all goes as planned !!🤍🤞
Please don't move your hands around. I'm not sure why that is annoying me to watch 😅 sorry but I'm more focused on hand movements than what you're saying

It depends on your examiner, some people get really harsh examiners who make their test hell

Have you got any tips for using your hands between the steering wheel, gear stick and the indicators?
I have my test next Wednesday, and I have a question, if still I need to put the handbrake on when I'm waiting on the traffic lights? or when to use the handbrake? thank you for the answers
You only need to use the handbrake when you’re parking. Like after a manoeuvre or when you’re asked to pull up on the left. The rest is optional 😊
I have my driving test on Wednesday really excited and hope it goes well. Your channel seems to really be helping with tips and at easing my nerves. Fingers crossed it all goes as planned !!🤍🤞
