She's not so bad, I think that maybe she lets things play on her mind, when she makes a mistake, it then breaks her concentration, and leads to more silly mistakes, mistakes that she'd not normally make. But every mistake is a chance to learn, in time she can build confidence from those experiences .🙏
she reminds me of how i was when i had 20 hours of driving. I was quite a nervous driver so only took my test when i felt more confident. It took me around 40 hours of instructor lessons and practising with my dad then i passed first go!! I just tried not to overthink everything. Good luck!!
Dear Ms Aman, I passed my driving test today in the first attempt with only two minors, and I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for creating such informative videos that certainly helped me to pass. The content you create with live examples especially mock tests is highly commendable, the examiner complimented me at the end of the test for excellent driving and I must thank you for it!
i would absolutely love the instructor to be my examiner. she seems so relaxed and calming. im worried my examiner is gonna give me death stares throughout.
What really rattled me on my test was how you'd just be driving along, minding your own business, and out of the corner of your eye you'd sense the examiner's pen moving on the clipboard. That may leave you feeling a bit flustered and paranoid.
@@zoebarr7669 they usually have an iPad but it’s blacked out so you can’t see anything. i’m not sure if some centres are still using the clipboard system though.
I passed my test back in 2003 but couldn’t resist watching this video when it popped out. Gosh it gave flashback. Thank God its over. It is stressful 😄she did pretty good though.
i passed my test today with only one minor. My cancellation app booked it automatically one month before i was expecting to take the test and i was left very short notice to be test ready. i must have watched over 30 of your longer videos and genuinely believe that this was the most helpful thing i did to pass my test. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

I'm struggling at about 30-35 hours now, manual, had three different instructors (had bad experiences with two) until finally settling with one I'm comfortable with. He's the world driving guy (TH-cam) who is very good, encouraging and patient. First guy was encouraging but didn't let me drive myself enough and talked far too much and second guy let me drive but poor instruction and lack of structure whilst spending a fair amount of time on his phone texting! In any case I'm still not at the level I should be at this point and I can't help feel embarrassed about it. I am very hard on myself and as an older learner (late 30s), I don't know if this has any bearing on my learning. I tend to get annoyed if I make a mistake or two and then it snowballs into a multitude of errors, some serious. Maybe it is because I had the bad experiences with the other instructors. I don't think I could even do a mock test as there'll be too many faults. Even so I'm still just under the average anyway (47 hours plus 20 hours private practice).
Hey your story sounds near enough the same as mine. I’ve had three instructors that taught me bad practice & habits, I’m also your sort of age. I think our age is we’re aware of how dangerous some people drive & we just want to be safe & perfect. It’s just finding that instructor who tells it like it is, prompts you when doing wrong so you’ll get out of them bad habits & actually gives you feedback at the end of a lesson. I’m with my fourth instructor I’ve only done one lesson but it did feel like a lesson he did give me feedback & write notes on what I need to work on. I’ve got a good feeling about this instructor he also told me he thinks I’ll need 20 hours more tuition to get me test ready. It’s hard to find the right instructor bc you believe in what they say after all they are the instructor, but after 10 hours of doing the same stuff & no feedback etc or your not feeling confident, then you know you’ve been duped for money. Good luck in moving forward, believe in yourself & don’t he scared to ask for what you need out of a lesson. You’ll get there with the right instructor.
If you had over 30 hours of lessons, you would know yourself what skills and areas you need to improve, don't just rely on your instructors as you knew not all are good, be proactive and take in charge of your learning. I set my own goal before my lesson and focus on it, surely i speak to my instructor about it before driving. Reason being, i relied on my instructor until 20 hours of lesson then i realised that i got stuck as not improving as much as i wished for and still felt fear of driving on busy roads which means 'not confident'. Also i noticed my instructor picks my faults up but he didn't correct my faults, so i'm doing wrong practice continously and not improving. So i started watching educational driving videos on TH-cam to help myself. When my instructor started to criticise ' no progress' about my skills and i gave him a feedback by saying that not teaching me properly with examples. Inicially, he denied but he is making effort now. Otherwise i would have changed to other instructor as i'm preparing for a test. It's a team work as both (pupil/instructor) have to make effort, not only pupil or instructor. Also if you can, it's better to have private lessons with your family or friends along with your professional lessons, it will help. Moreover, be mindful that not all instructors are ADI, most of them are trainees under supervision of a ADI ( they are still leaning to teach) or something else..Good luck!
@@juliayang3879 I have to say I don’t agree, a instructor is a instructor for a reason, a pupil believes everything they are being taught & wouldn’t question it bc they don’t know any different. For instance one of my instructors said she would be my eyes & ears & for me to just concentrate on the clutch & driving. So that I realised from another instructor is bad practice as it’s not making you look when your supposed to, there is a lot of bad habits I’ve picked up from bad instructors. The one I have now does seem good he prompts me when I should be signalling & looking in my mirrors, he also writes notes on what I need to work on. Tbh the bad instructors I’ve had has made me a more nervous driver then I would of been and I’ve completely wasted a lot of money through believing in them. I feel sorry for pupils because with any instructors your going to believe what they are teaching you is correct as you don’t know any different.
Don't feel embarrassed I've been learning since I was 29 just about to turn 30, I'm 34 now had probably well over 300 lessons gone through 3 instructors done my theory so many times cause it's expired, will have my first test in oct, or maybe as my instructor said we might pull it further if I don't do well in my mocks, it seems silly for you to feel embarrassed, 40, 50 ,60 and taken 1 or 2 years is totally normal, I know many ppl that have. I wish I had but I'm here I'm trying probably everyone and work makes fun of me behind my back but so what every1s different.
Commented 10 days ago on another video but I passed my driving test today after failing first time with 2 serious faults, passed today with one minor 🙌🏾🥳 all thanks to your videos
I have just today completed watching all your videos. I can’t wait for more uploads. I have subscribed to your channel. You deserve the love and support. Keep on making videos. You are 1 of the best instructors out there
Well, people complain that the standard of driving has fallen, but from that, I think it seems pretty tough to pass the test. That van did drive straight through the mini roundabout, and why were they shooting through with no evasive action when there was clearly a learner about? I assume they would have been marked with a dangerous fault too. Many of these mistakes are daily occurrences for many licence holders, I have to say maybe me too. Perhaps we should all do 10 year refreshers.
Love a live! This was great. Learnt a few new things. When Emily turned right but went over to the left, I knew straight away that was a no no. However, she did really well & good luck for your test. Zero minors baby! 😎💯
Would it be possible to show the speed too, as this gives us a fair bit of idea about at what speed we should approach the round about and at what speed we are taking the exit
Hopefully she will stop driving at oncoming traffic who have the right of way, especially a bus. Trying to force large vehicles in a little car wont end well and is a bad habit to pick up. As a learner, it never occurred to me to take on a bus!
The part where she rolled back is exactly the place where a normal manual handbrake would have been so helpful. These stupid electronic handbrakes are ridiculous.
My car has an e-brake and "hold asisst" and it's definitely a different beast to manual handbrakes. It's very unforgiving to hesitant clutch control as it releases slightly before the car is actually generating enough power to move off and can be accidentally released if you're stopped with the clutch pedal pressed and your other foot on the accelerator.
Hi Aman. Thank you so much for your videos, they have really helped me with my driving and knowing what to expect on my driving test. I am pleased to say I passed yesterday with only 2 minors and your videos were a massive help in aiding me to do this so thank you so so much
Can you guys tell me how to book a practical test because when I am going to the official site it's showing no available appointment I don't know what to do with this problem and just few months left for expiry of my theory
@@baharfacts222 hiya, go to the official government website and fill in your details and your preferred test centre. It may not display any dates or times if all of them are taken. Make sure to check surrounding test centres if you can’t find one at your local one as you can always book one there and then try to find a cancellation test at your local test centre (this is what I did). As far as I’m aware, at least in my area, it is next to impossible to get a test, with the next available tests being April next year! I managed to get a cancellation test which was for 2 months earlier than my original test, it was also at a different test centre than the one I originally booked which was for early November. All I could suggest is to check every Monday as soon as the website is opened to allow bookings (I believe this is around 6am). They add a new week every Monday so just keep a look out. If your theory should expire before you manage to get a test, you’ll have to retake it unfortunately. Try downloading an app that will allow you to view all cancellations at surrounding test centres. These tests will be snapped up really quickly so be on the look out and as soon as you see a date you can do, go for it. There will be a fight to see who will get that date. These apps will cost you some money but if you only have a couple months left on your theory, this is the path you should be taking in order to avoid retaking your theory. The app I used was called Testi, the app itself is free, however you can pay £11.99 and it will allow you to access all the features which includes an additional 5 test centres which will help massively in getting a test. It helped me get a cancellation for this month. There are many others on App Store/ Google play however, this is the app I found the most reliable and accurate, many other people that I know also used it to get a cancellation test. Good luck :))
Thank you soooo much you have spent you time and replied I will check every Monday and I will get this app too hope I can found any date Again thank you so much
Unfortunate Emily but the great thing about making these mistakes under the eyes of an instructor is that you get to make them and learn from them - any dangerous faults I did while learning I'll definitely never make again! It's also hard when you make a mistake to not let it compound in to more mistakes due to nerves etc. Don't beat yourself up - good attempt :)
The revised driving test (dec17) was supposed to allow tests to follow faster more flowing routes,, seems in London this is impossible. I'm pleased my test centres are less manic..ish
Emily, good smoothed driving! Have done a variety of roads. From multilane #roundabouts to "motorway driving driving. Be proactive, looking for potential hazards, awareness and observation. Hold back, give way to coming traffic. Good approached to #roundabout, second exit, no cut corners.😐
Just imagine driving is like walking, you wont made horrible mistake when you are walking on street, you know when to stop when to walk, you can control when to slow down in order to avoid / before hitting someone. You also know to watch both sides first before crossing a road.
It's possible only when you have good legs and good judgement. That's why basic skills of driving (including clutch, brake, and gas pedals etc) are so important as well as experience which gives better judgement especially in difficult situations.
Your videos are very good and helpful and during the feedback at the end you give really good advice and deal with the learner very well. But, your videos would be more beneficial if you can definitely show the speed that the car is going at and what gears the car is in while driving.
Hi dear Amen thank you so much for these videos they helped me a lot I watch this video on my test day when you posted and use to watching your videos from one year and these three months I watched a lot and it’s help me a lot I have passed my test on 13 September 🎉 wanted to thank you but was busy 😅hopefully your good ❤
The fact that not doing something can be a fault or not depending on the situation is weird. Not checking your mirrors is not a fault if there's no one behind you, but it would be if there is someone? That is.. dumb. The whole point is checking whether the driver can.. well.. drive. If they don't check the mirrors, that should be a fault, doesn't matter the situation 'cause later on they could be not checking when there _is_ someone behind them. It's about behaviour and habit, not situational.
The thing about checking mirrors is the we are taught the MSM protocol when approaching a turn or change of lane etc. however drivers can repeatedly check mirrors and know no vehicle is behind if they check mirrors frequently enough. The examiner cannot really know when you last checked the mirrors unles they stare at you 100% of the time. So they might spot a lack of mirror check but had you checked them a little earlier. The fact that you pull out in front of someone is proof you did not check them at a crucial time. Examiners are trained to tell you to turn based on your speed and distance from a junction. At this time examiner will be looking at you to see if you check mirrors as this is generally the relevant time based on speed and distance. I suggest candidates do a mirror check every time the examiner speaks.
9:24 did you intervene with the footbrake? it seemed like she was trying to move off but then the brakes were locked on? I think she was confused and as was I as to why the car wasn't moving. Should have told her just to breathe for a second and that you have control. That part confused me
16:23 how do we know the van was turning left from being in the left lane? Couldn't he have been going straight on? He has no indicator on and genuinely curious to know.
TMI but does anyone have any tips for sweaty hands on the steering wheel because my hands get so sweaty on the steering wheel and it annoys me so much.
17:00 with the two right turns, I used to live near a junction like that. The left hand lane on approach was marked as a bus lane so nobody ever used it to stay in the left lane, i.e. everyone went round in the right and forced their way across. It was a one-way system so there was no oncoming traffic, but get stuck in the wrong lane and you're committed to going another mile in the wrong direction before you can turn back. And to be totally honest I didn't trust that white van to turn left. He might not have done and because he's in a white van, he's up there with minicabs and the police on just doing what the f--k he likes.
15:30 is really confusing. She was driving so well, looking in the direction of the van, did she just have a brain fart or was she hyper focusing on something we couldn't see?
Problem with my driving is if I'm meant to be going right i look for too long that I drift slightly more to direction im looking. I was very over cautious when first starting to drive now I'm just cautious but with a tiny bit of road rage but don't show it I constantly look in mirrors before setting off reversing joining new roads and even on roads ive been on for a few minutes
Very much understandable video as Emily had only 22 hours of lessons. Her basic skills need to improve as she is not confident of dealing hazards and clutch control etc yet. I think, for driving, no need to rush to get a license quickly if not confident enough as I saw and heard that newly licensed drivers cause accidents easily, due to lack of caution and misjudgment.
I really felt for Emily...Great girl that knows what to do but learning to drive is basically an introduction to the world....people will swallow you whole without even realising... Grand job all round but its like a snowball effect..one mishap leads to more...
Yes, oncoming traffic has priority in this case because there is an obstruction on the learners side, not the oncoming traffic. It is best to wait until there is a suitable gap rather than potentially forcing your way past oncoming traffic.
how do you guys get away with so little driving before the test? here in australia we have to do 100 daytime hours + 20 night time hours AND have our learners license for a minimum of 1 year before doing a test
She’ll be fine. Just too much going on for her with it being so busy. She’s not comfortable driving in peak times. She needs lots of lessons in busy time of day to get used to driving like this. 😊
Question about the reversing on the right hand side of the road. My instructor has told me that when doing that maneuver that I should reverse back about a metre or so, stop, do all my observations, continue for another metre, stop, do observations and then a final time. Thoughts on this? What would you think if you were an examiner and seen a student do this?
I was just curious because I never here any instructors mention anything about the reversing cam. When I did my test these cams didn’t exist but I remember my first time using one and now I can’t imagine driving without one it’s an absolute god send.
We do both but most drivers in Uk do manual, automatic isn’t common here. Average amount of lessons in manual is 30-55 Automatic is 20-30. Manual costs around £30-£40 per hours. Automatic £45-£60 per hour. I have absolutely no idea why automatic is more expensive and it seems abit of a rip off but hey ho 🤷🏻♀️
I loved you video's.... It's a.great learning. I just have a question ? I have my practical test book for next week. Is it mandatory to take someone ( UK License holder ) with me to the practical test center when I am driving with a L plate to the practical test center or can I drive on my own. It will be great if I get an answer. 🙏🙏
think its a bit early for her to do her mocks, i only have 3 lessons with an instructor and about 10 with my dad and i wouldn’t have made these mistakes, hopefully she learns as she seems very nice and seems like she really wants to pass!
Wow, so now learner drivers are learning how to drive.........in a Mercedes?? A far cry from back in the 90's, when I learnt to drive in first a Vauxhall Corsa mk1, then (with a different instructor) a VW Polo mk3(?). I notice the learner also is using Sat Nav??? Er, what's the point of this. You're driving where the Instructor tells you to go ...so you don't need a SatNav! - plus it's distracting and even more confusing for the learner because they should be focussing entirely on the road ahead of them. And also the car will have duel pedals (or they did back in the day)....so if a learner doesn't react quickly enough and there's teal risk of a bump or worse, the UK Instructor can slam on the break pedal at thei last minute. I think (even in 2022) learner drivers should not have SatNav in a car they're driving, because as I've said already- it's more confusing for them and therefore a distraction they don't need. Plus it's actually more dangerous too - as it can be too much to take in die learners. They should also all learn in a non-electric manual car. This will give them better driving skills and will teach them how to change gear and when to, because they will hear the different sounds and what these mean and so 'know' when to change gear. This is something you just don't get with an (automatic) electric car. You do with a petrol automatic, but the process of changing gear manually and going up through the gears and back down again are what many new young drivers now don't get to experience. Driving a manual enables you to drive a manual AND an electric car on the same type of licence. If you just learn to drive in an electric car, then you will not be able to drive a manual....as you will require a separate licence to do so. This may seem strange but it's not when you think about it. By learning in a manual it makes you a better driver overall because you have a greater "road-sense' and a manual keeps you more alert and focused. It's too easy to semi switch off when driving an automatic, because the car does alot of the work for you. Lastly when reversing, all new drivers should be made to do it the old fashioned way - by looking behind your shoulder and using your own judgement as to how close you are to the vehicle behind you. Teaching them to only use a SatNav which guides the car for you means the new driver has little or no concept of space or the skill required manually to do this manoeuvre.
You have 0 clue what you are talking about. Firstly that is a manual car which is no different to any other manual car and also on the test a sat nav is used the majority of the time so you can’t moan about a sat nav even though examiners use them!

Would it be possible to show the speed too, as this gives us a fair bit of idea about at what speed we should approach the round about and at what speed we are taking the exit
Thank you so much for your videos it helped me a lot.
I passed my drive test today with one minor. thank a lot.
It is good to make faults in an Mocktest, because you learn from it. Emily will surely become an amazing driver.
Hopefully she will stop driving at oncoming traffic who have the right of way, especially a bus. Trying to force large vehicles in a little car wont end well and is a bad habit to pick up. As a learner, it never occurred to me to take on a bus!
The part where she rolled back is exactly the place where a normal manual handbrake would have been so helpful. These stupid electronic handbrakes are ridiculous.
They really are. I learnt in a manual hand brake and my new car is electric its taken a lot off time to get use to it. I prefer the manual handbrake.
My car has an e-brake and "hold asisst" and it's definitely a different beast to manual handbrakes. It's very unforgiving to hesitant clutch control as it releases slightly before the car is actually generating enough power to move off and can be accidentally released if you're stopped with the clutch pedal pressed and your other foot on the accelerator.
Hi Aman. Thank you so much for your videos, they have really helped me with my driving and knowing what to expect on my driving test. I am pleased to say I passed yesterday with only 2 minors and your videos were a massive help in aiding me to do this so thank you so so much
Can you guys tell me how to book a practical test because when I am going to the official site it's showing no available appointment
I don't know what to do with this problem and just few months left for expiry of my theory
@@baharfacts222 hiya, go to the official government website and fill in your details and your preferred test centre. It may not display any dates or times if all of them are taken. Make sure to check surrounding test centres if you can’t find one at your local one as you can always book one there and then try to find a cancellation test at your local test centre (this is what I did). As far as I’m aware, at least in my area, it is next to impossible to get a test, with the next available tests being April next year! I managed to get a cancellation test which was for 2 months earlier than my original test, it was also at a different test centre than the one I originally booked which was for early November.
All I could suggest is to check every Monday as soon as the website is opened to allow bookings (I believe this is around 6am). They add a new week every Monday so just keep a look out. If your theory should expire before you manage to get a test, you’ll have to retake it unfortunately. Try downloading an app that will allow you to view all cancellations at surrounding test centres. These tests will be snapped up really quickly so be on the look out and as soon as you see a date you can do, go for it. There will be a fight to see who will get that date. These apps will cost you some money but if you only have a couple months left on your theory, this is the path you should be taking in order to avoid retaking your theory. The app I used was called Testi, the app itself is free, however you can pay £11.99 and it will allow you to access all the features which includes an additional 5 test centres which will help massively in getting a test. It helped me get a cancellation for this month. There are many others on App Store/ Google play however, this is the app I found the most reliable and accurate, many other people that I know also used it to get a cancellation test.
Good luck :))
Thank you soooo much you have spent you time and replied
I will check every Monday and I will get this app too hope I can found any date
Again thank you so much
Another fab video to watch. Lots more lessons needed for the learner. But so useful for her to watch back and correct for next time xxx
Unfortunate Emily but the great thing about making these mistakes under the eyes of an instructor is that you get to make them and learn from them - any dangerous faults I did while learning I'll definitely never make again! It's also hard when you make a mistake to not let it compound in to more mistakes due to nerves etc. Don't beat yourself up - good attempt :)
The revised driving test (dec17) was supposed to allow tests to follow faster more flowing routes,, seems in London this is impossible. I'm pleased my test centres are less manic..ish
Emily, good smoothed driving! Have done a variety of roads. From multilane #roundabouts to "motorway driving driving. Be proactive, looking for potential hazards, awareness and observation. Hold back, give way to coming traffic. Good approached to #roundabout, second exit, no cut corners.😐
Bless her I’m sure she will get these things ironed out
I passed my permit test last week! (In The Bahamas) most of my answers came from your channel🤩🥰
I got a 92%
Just imagine driving is like walking, you wont made horrible mistake when you are walking on street, you know when to stop when to walk, you can control when to slow down in order to avoid / before hitting someone. You also know to watch both sides first before crossing a road.
It's possible only when you have good legs and good judgement. That's why basic skills of driving (including clutch, brake, and gas pedals etc) are so important as well as experience which gives better judgement especially in difficult situations.
Good example
Your videos are very good and helpful and during the feedback at the end you give really good advice and deal with the learner very well. But, your videos would be more beneficial if you can definitely show the speed that the car is going at and what gears the car is in while driving.
Man if I’d of had you as a driving instructor my anxiety would’ve been so much lower 😅😅
Hi dear Amen thank you so much for these videos they helped me a lot I watch this video on my test day when you posted and use to watching your videos from one year and these three months I watched a lot and it’s help me a lot I have passed my test on 13 September 🎉 wanted to thank you but was busy 😅hopefully your good ❤
I love this instructor
The fact that not doing something can be a fault or not depending on the situation is weird. Not checking your mirrors is not a fault if there's no one behind you, but it would be if there is someone? That is.. dumb. The whole point is checking whether the driver can.. well.. drive. If they don't check the mirrors, that should be a fault, doesn't matter the situation 'cause later on they could be not checking when there _is_ someone behind them. It's about behaviour and habit, not situational.
The thing about checking mirrors is the we are taught the MSM protocol when approaching a turn or change of lane etc. however drivers can repeatedly check mirrors and know no vehicle is behind if they check mirrors frequently enough. The examiner cannot really know when you last checked the mirrors unles they stare at you 100% of the time. So they might spot a lack of mirror check but had you checked them a little earlier. The fact that you pull out in front of someone is proof you did not check them at a crucial time. Examiners are trained to tell you to turn based on your speed and distance from a junction. At this time examiner will be looking at you to see if you check mirrors as this is generally the relevant time based on speed and distance. I suggest candidates do a mirror check every time the examiner speaks.
9:24 did you intervene with the footbrake? it seemed like she was trying to move off but then the brakes were locked on? I think she was confused and as was I as to why the car wasn't moving. Should have told her just to breathe for a second and that you have control. That part confused me
16:23 how do we know the van was turning left from being in the left lane? Couldn't he have been going straight on? He has no indicator on and genuinely curious to know.
Some lanes are left only with the right lane going straight and right
@@dzp8457 you wouldn't know that as the driver from across the roundabout though? Or at least you wouldn't be expected to know that
She’ll be ok. I think it’s nerves and she did well to get herself out of the situation with the bus. Just a shame about rolling back and stalling.
TMI but does anyone have any tips for sweaty hands on the steering wheel because my hands get so sweaty on the steering wheel and it annoys me so much.
17:00 with the two right turns, I used to live near a junction like that. The left hand lane on approach was marked as a bus lane so nobody ever used it to stay in the left lane, i.e. everyone went round in the right and forced their way across. It was a one-way system so there was no oncoming traffic, but get stuck in the wrong lane and you're committed to going another mile in the wrong direction before you can turn back.
And to be totally honest I didn't trust that white van to turn left. He might not have done and because he's in a white van, he's up there with minicabs and the police on just doing what the f--k he likes.
15:30 is really confusing. She was driving so well, looking in the direction of the van, did she just have a brain fart or was she hyper focusing on something we couldn't see?
Problem with my driving is if I'm meant to be going right i look for too long that I drift slightly more to direction im looking.
I was very over cautious when first starting to drive now I'm just cautious but with a tiny bit of road rage but don't show it I constantly look in mirrors before setting off reversing joining new roads and even on roads ive been on for a few minutes
Very much understandable video as Emily had only 22 hours of lessons. Her basic skills need to improve as she is not confident of dealing hazards and clutch control etc yet. I think, for driving, no need to rush to get a license quickly if not confident enough as I saw and heard that newly licensed drivers cause accidents easily, due to lack of caution and misjudgment.
I really felt for Emily...Great girl that knows what to do but learning to drive is basically an introduction to the world....people will swallow you whole without even realising... Grand job all round but its like a snowball effect..one mishap leads to more...
Aman can take her fears away I feel a mock test like that can be devastating
@08:26 Do we have to hold back and give way to oncoming traffic including the bus before proceeding in that situation?
Yes, oncoming traffic has priority in this case because there is an obstruction on the learners side, not the oncoming traffic. It is best to wait until there is a suitable gap rather than potentially forcing your way past oncoming traffic.
It looks like this painted roundabouts 15:35 are attempting to fly trough with high speed, so in my opinion not a very smart solution!
how do you guys get away with so little driving before the test? here in australia we have to do 100 daytime hours + 20 night time hours AND have our learners license for a minimum of 1 year before doing a test
Probably accident rates are high in Australia as the DVLA makes it harder to get!!
Good evening
She’ll be fine. Just too much going on for her with it being so busy. She’s not comfortable driving in peak times. She needs lots of lessons in busy time of day to get used to driving like this. 😊
Question about the reversing on the right hand side of the road. My instructor has told me that when doing that maneuver that I should reverse back about a metre or so, stop, do all my observations, continue for another metre, stop, do observations and then a final time. Thoughts on this? What would you think if you were an examiner and seen a student do this?
Personally I think that’s the best and safest way to do this manoeuvre..
I was taught to do all my observations while reversing and before reversing
Whoops! That went a bit wrong Emily, But it's only your first mock it'll get easier and there's plenty of time to tidy things up for your actual test.
Are you not allowed to use reversing cams to aid you when reversing?
You are allowed to use reversing cams but need to make sure you maintain your observations while doing it especially looking out the back window
I was just curious because I never here any instructors mention anything about the reversing cam.
When I did my test these cams didn’t exist but I remember my first time using one and now I can’t imagine driving without one it’s an absolute god send.
Hi, quick question of i want to change my driving test from manual to automatic, is it possible, if yes what do I need to do? Thank you
Do you do it in the UK and do you do auto or manual and how many lessons should I have to prepare myself for the test and how mutch does it cost
We do both but most drivers in Uk do manual, automatic isn’t common here.
Average amount of lessons in manual is 30-55
Automatic is 20-30.
Manual costs around £30-£40 per hours.
Automatic £45-£60 per hour. I have absolutely no idea why automatic is more expensive and it seems abit of a rip off but hey ho 🤷🏻♀️
16:18 honestly the van driver doesn't make it clear enough as there is the lack of left signal... :/
She will definitely improve with time
I loved you video's.... It's a.great learning. I just have a question ? I have my practical test book for next week. Is it mandatory to take someone ( UK License holder ) with me to the practical test center when I am driving with a L plate to the practical test center or can I drive on my own. It will be great if I get an answer. 🙏🙏
Yeah you'll need someone there. You can't legally drive with L plates without supervision, including to (or if you fail, from) a driving test.
@@BWReid10 thank you
Wish you would indicate if they are driving an automatic or manual.
You can clearly tell🤣🤣🤣
Do uphill starts n roundabout tutorial amaan😅😊
think its a bit early for her to do her mocks, i only have 3 lessons with an instructor and about 10 with my dad and i wouldn’t have made these mistakes, hopefully she learns as she seems very nice and seems like she really wants to pass!
She’s a gd driver she just needs to relax and not be nervous
The cutest instructor ever.😳
If I had you as my instructor I would fail everytime purposefully just to get to have more lessons with you 🤓☺️
Love video
Wow I never knew the a class came in manual? 🤯
Nearly all mercs can come in a Manual
Waiting
definitely not ready yet.
She has 6 weeks left which is about 6 more lessons even more she will be ready
I think she could definitely make it. A little less feeling pressured into making poor judgment will remedy quite a lot of these faults.
I think she is very brave to have a mock test at this stage....
Can I have a mock test
Email her
@@joshlucas4269 does she give discount to fans
So the nearly driving over a cyclist when turning right isn't even an advisory? lmao
You actually get extra points for that.
I thought she was about to hit that cyclist
Is this automatic or manual?
clearly it's a manual.
IMPORTANCE OF THIS VIDEO... ... 🤔?
Wow, so now learner drivers are learning how to drive.........in a Mercedes?? A far cry from back in the 90's, when I learnt to drive in first a Vauxhall Corsa mk1, then (with a different instructor) a VW Polo mk3(?).
I notice the learner also is using Sat Nav??? Er, what's the point of this. You're driving where the Instructor tells you to go ...so you don't need a SatNav! - plus it's distracting and even more confusing for the learner because they should be focussing entirely on the road ahead of them.
And also the car will have duel pedals (or they did back in the day)....so if a learner doesn't react quickly enough and there's teal risk of a bump or worse, the UK Instructor can slam on the break pedal at thei last minute.
I think (even in 2022) learner drivers should not have SatNav in a car they're driving, because as I've said already- it's more confusing for them and therefore a distraction they don't need. Plus it's actually more dangerous too - as it can be too much to take in die learners.
They should also all learn in a non-electric manual car. This will give them better driving skills and will teach them how to change gear and when to, because they will hear the different sounds and what these mean and so 'know' when to change gear.
This is something you just don't get with an (automatic) electric car. You do with a petrol automatic, but the process of changing gear manually and going up through the gears and back down again are what many new young drivers now don't get to experience.
Driving a manual enables you to drive a manual AND an electric car on the same type of licence. If you just learn to drive in an electric car, then you will not be able to drive a manual....as you will require a separate licence to do so. This may seem strange but it's not when you think about it.
By learning in a manual it makes you a better driver overall because you have a greater "road-sense' and a manual keeps you more alert and focused. It's too easy to semi switch off when driving an automatic, because the car does alot of the work for you.
Lastly when reversing, all new drivers should be made to do it the old fashioned way - by looking behind your shoulder and using your own judgement as to how close you are to the vehicle behind you.
Teaching them to only use a SatNav which guides the car for you means the new driver has little or no concept of space or the skill required manually to do this manoeuvre.
You have 0 clue what you are talking about. Firstly that is a manual car which is no different to any other manual car and also on the test a sat nav is used the majority of the time so you can’t moan about a sat nav even though examiners use them!
First clip was a negative IQ move ngl😂
npc driving be like
