Driving Instructor Takes Driving Test | "I WASN'T EXPECTING THAT"

- I take a driving test with a fellow driving instructor. It was in a new area and was slightly challenging, putting myself in the position of a learner driver. There are a few driving faults during the driving test.
I do some commentary whilst driving which will help learner drivers understand what I am doing.

We still love you! ♥️ Hope all is okay and that you were just busy rather than sick or some such.
Oh.. Wow. You are fantastic
Are you available for a mock test
I think speed limites on a steep gradient should be increased by 10 mph because a steep hill near me used to be a forty zone but changed to a 30 zone so cars tend to struglle up that hill and slows down the flow of traffic and used to work better as a 40 mph road i think some speed limites need updating because there are many roads in nottingham that are huge but are 20 mph zones but then the smaller roads around it are 30mph witch makes no sence and there are 30 mph roads that are not in built up areas with only heges on the sides and i think motorways and dual carrage ways should be 100mph because cars nowadays can easily travel safley at 100mph + and has worked in germanys autobahns with no speed limites and has less accident than the uks motorways and carrage ways
@F1 Racer You're funny.
Pin wouldn't of gotten any faults if he'd used the Ultimate Driving Course

OHHHH HOW HAVE THE TABLES TURNED
💯😂😂😂
😭😂😂😂
Looool
Iulia Paun oh how the turn tables
Oh tables have the turn
He’s very strict right? Feel like I’d get a fail for the air freshener not being the right scent for him lol 😆
LOL!
Damn no kidding that dude was super strict a bit much imo bc the driver was very careful and 5 over the speed limit is nothing in Texas people drive 20 over the speed limit on the highway all the time… ya get the point
It's a good thing imo,the way our roads are so overcrowded.Maybe the roads would be much safer if more were like him?
😂😂😂
Standards and expectations for a DVSA-approved professional instructor have to be higher than for a usual learner, so I am sure he intentionally gave a tougher examination than he normally would.
When I took my hgv class 1 test in 1999 the examiner was writing down stuff on a number of occasions so I thought I failed but at the the end when he said I passed with 1 minor I was shocked and asked him what he was writing he replied my shopping list for tonight lol no joke
😂😂😂😂
Hahaha 🤣🤣🤣 love this!
This really cheered me up 😂😂😂
Hahahahaha
🤣🤣
*Just a few more lessons Pin and you should be ready for the driving test* 😂😂😂
6 minors is a pass.
WIM AllKind r/wooooosh
Needs his own Ultimate Driving Course haha
@TIGERWOODSBOYFRIEND He’s commentating so we can understand his thought process. This video is to help people learning to drive, he’s not doing an advanced test (to my knowledge?)
😅🤣😂
the final boss of driving examiners, serious fault for looking at him in a funny way
If driving tests were a video game, he’d be the final boss 😂
if i got this guy on my driving test i would have just told him to fail me then and there to avoid PTSD for life.
Skandal the examiner I got fails 9/10 on average. He was so reluctant to give me the certificate, he kept sighing with disappointment that I passed lmao.
🤭🤣
@@David-ur7og Seriously?! 😒
@call of duty ruined my life 987 Phew! Congratulations.
@@aleebea Yeah but I think he liked the fact that I kept calling him "sir" lol. He also made me parallel park in a road that was connected to a dual carriage way, and gave me a fault for stopping when the cars were behind me. It was so busy that I had to wait for a few minutes for all the cars to pass, and in the end he just told me to ignore any cars behind me because this road is very busy. My instructor was with me and spoke out saying, this spot is highly unusual and he admitted it was not a normal place for parallel parking. He also took me out of the area/route - but justified this by saying it was during school time and parents are dangerous drivers and didn't want me to feel pressured.
feels bad for whoever gets that bloke as their examiner LOL
Init 😬
lool for real, the way he went on about the abs thing for long. i literally got asked that yesterday when i passed my test and they do not ask it like that hahaha
100%
Yeah good luck to anyone who gets this nazi examining them.
Hes old and wise and will fail u with minor things
That examiner loves that power. He lives for minor faults!
He's just playing with Pin, come on!
😂😂 You've managed to find the most brutally honest, petty driving instructor on the face of this earth.
You should have seen mine brother
Leon Dunphy wtf is your profile picture
@@theplug4981 just me holding a couple African kids..... 'E'

Well that's his job
Basically, there are no faultless drivers.
Cyriacus Duru i got 0 minors on my test, think I just got lucky with the examiner
@@oskt4397
Wow! Congratulations
@@oskt4397 I got 2, one of which was a grindy gear change because I'm an idiot, the second was because some cunt in a van cut me up and apparently I should've been more aware, even though I'd slowed down and took a slightly wider line for him to get through...
We're all human.
@@Pond721 Apparently you're supposed to magically correct other people's faults in driving tests according to some examiners and whatever solution you have it's always wrong according to some
As a non native speaker, it's sometimes challenging to understand British people, but that driving instructor was next level...
I'm a native speaker and it was hard for me too lol
Is it Brummie?
@@minnie5301 Black Country. It’s different
Im a brummie and black country is a different language 😂
Nothing difficult or challenging just different dialects of same language, as in most countries?.
I’d like that instructor to be tested by a higher instructor
By God?
Checkmate, he owns the dvla
Guilherme Ferreira no by a real examiner 😂
Why not lower
@@gui18bif 😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣
You're so authentic man, most instructors would probs be too proud to share a video of themselves taking a test and making a few mistakes but you're just so genuine about it, made me feel less bad about making mistakes while I'm practising cus even the professionals do it! Thanks Pin!
The professionals are even making quite serious mistakes like hitting the curve with the wheel really hard when parking or selecting a different gear instead of neutral when wanting to completely stop the car which makes the car launch forward.
@@yuvalvernik9483 Hahahaha low-key throwing shade on the professionals 😂😂
I was just thinking the same thing, good on him 😊
Moo
Drivers make mistakes too....thats why there are so many accidents.
I take my hat off to him. Brilliant instructor.
Basically passing your test comes down to not just your ability but luck, circumstances and the instructors mood and opinions on the day. Even if you fail, you probably did enough to pass had someone else been assessing you.
Thats why they should have cameras in the cars so it can be disputed if necessary.
@@RyanPhallen There's not camers in the uk when taking your exam? Im my country there are 2 cameras one facing you the other one the road in front of you.
@@RyanPhallen This would also be a good idea for assaults and allegations of sexual misconduct. I had an instructor tell me that many assessors had left our local testing centre due to a young woman who claimed the assessor touched her inappropriately after he failed her. The school suspended the assessor without any evidence other than her word against his.
Where I live, you can only attempt license practical exam, if you pass driving school's practical exam. Same rules, two passes. Means, that they only check to confirm that you aren't dumbass. Also both passes are filmed with dash cams.
Yea it all down to luck and the assessor i think i failed my first one years ago down to just unlucky was pulling out on side street all clear as and was on the road a car come speeding round the corner and was behind us the 100 year old assessor thought i pulled out in front of him witch i did not but what they think/stay sticks if had cameras would of proved i was not in the wrong but will never happen in the UK. I think it down to luck of the day and fail rates as they have targets to do if so many people pass in that day good luck not failing as like any other buissns it is a racket that needs to make money.
I was lucky on my second go thought i was bad due to the driving instructor had someone in the back of the car assessing him so had 2 people in the car watching me but forgot he was even in the back over time. The driving instructor was middle aged and we talked a bit while driving that helped me not over think everything and he was down to earth not like the 100 year old i had first time that not even say a word the whole time instead of what we doing next he was just awkward and off putting the whole time.
I feel like there are two types of examiners. This guy "you didn't crane your neck an extra 5 degrees so I'm going to give you a minor for it" and the type that can see you're a competent driver and let you get on with it.
Interesting.....I haven't done a test yet so I'm curious to see this concept tho I think I do agree from watching a few of these test videos. 🤷🏽♂️
So true,a good examiner just feels if you know what you are doing and doesn't fail you for every single minor shit..it's driving not fucking nascar racing
@@SkyZi9 passed yet??
@@Jon-1919 nope, haven't done test yet....what about you? Got any tips?
@@SkyZi9 Well good luck when you come to it pal. Just relax and don't be sucked in by other people's bad driving around you. If someone is fighting you on the road just let them "win". Let them overtake, or take the space they want. They won't actually be gaining anything I promise you. If you're serious then I really recommend you do some reading. There's a brilliant police driving/riding handbook that you can buy online that cops use for training. It teaches you about the workings of the car, vanishing points, techniques etc. I read the police motorcyclist handbook when I passed my motorcycle test 10 years ago and I genuinely credit that with keeping me alive!
Oh and don't get a car with diamond cut alloys for your first car (like I did). You'll curb them and they cost a bomb to repair. Standard alloys aren't so bad! 😂👍
How impressive that a driving instructor would gladly put himself through this on video for the sake of his students and viewers. Top guy. And what a superb method of showing the standard required. Superb.
L lol
He is just awesome! 👏🏻
Yeah it kinda proves he's not that good of an instructor for me. The stuff he messed up on my driving instructor wouldn't have messed up on. My old driving instructor taught me to have a good look on your blindspot, ie turn your body and head more than 90 degrees, that old man demonstrated it well and pin saying he can't turn any further is just an excuse, you use your whole body. Also the speeding one was such a newbie mistake to fault on
@@ninjaninja9954 ur not wrong. not saying he’s a BAD driver, he’s definitely not
@@ninjaninja9954You might not have noticed, but he passed. They were only minor faults.
The driving instructor: How do you know that the ABS Anti-lock breaking system is working correctly? When does the warning light come on? What about if it came on when you were driving? What would you do? And what would you pay the mechanic to repair it? And what is the mechanic's name? What about the car he drives? Does his ABS work properly? Where does he live?
What planet is he from?
And is he married or single?
What's his blood group?😂
Does he check his front mirror when driving towards Dudley? Very important stuff!
What colour pants am I wearing today? What will the weather be like in Manchester on Wednesday 8th October 2025? What is the capital of British Columbia? 😂😂
Him being a bit nervous during the test made me feel a bit more relaxed for my test it goes to show we are all human and even for a fully qualified professional instructor like pin we all get the nerves
bro what, a driving instructor being nervous on his test just made me realise that im probably gonna be a nervous wreck 😩
I thought he was roleplaying as a nervous driver
Kuso same here 😩 my test is in 8 days
Carla Finley did you pass?
He almost failed lol what chance have we got??m
Didn't know Claude Littner was a driving test examiner when the apprentice wasn't filming 😂
I was gonna comment this i acc thought it was him in the thumbnail.
Haha, brilliant!
And puts on a heavy brummie accent
Haha XD
🤣
26:53 the way that he pretends that is looking at the mirror, but actually is looking athe oldest driving instructor's notebook HAHHAHA
He must've had failed his previous test and didn't upload it, so this time he wanted to make sure there are less faults 😂
Even instructor also worried about the feedback. he was looking very curious about that .🤣🤣🤣🤣
The examiners dudley accent is sooooooooo strong 😂😂😂
painful for me to hear
I cor tell
I couldn’t understand him
Black Country accent
bet he's going to the Harrison's head after this

😂😂.. Funny how this crossed my mind as well
Alan was my instructor! So weird seeing him a video like this lol but he's hilarious and a great instructor. I had lessons with him and they got me to pass my test
IMPOSSIBLE
Was he as harsh on you as he was with Pin?
You must be the best driver on the road, I had Steve Roberts as mine and I did the majority of this driving test route for my driving test in December 2018 but from Gornal Test Centre. Got 4 driving faults in total but passed first time
@Advanced Driving 😂😂😂
Was it a pass? Lol
A bold move. Not everybody will do something that could potential hurt their own TH-cam channel and subscribers so I applaud Pin for doing this.
Pin: "Winding the window down. You're showing your age there."
Examiner: And that's a serious fault!
hahaha
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀
You should get a camera for the back so we can see when the learner driver has an impact on the traffic behind
Driving examiners testing each other should be a tv series. So entertaining the little arguments at the end haha.
26:52 the way you was sharking the examiners paper to see what he was writing 😂
Checking his left mirror I think
Ahahahah
@@Jordan-wy1ux Then why did he look away everytime the examiner looked up?
Hahaha it's so obvious he tries to hide it as well.
My parents told me never to do that otherwise I’d fail 😂
Wow, Pin got six minors? I passed my test with three... simple maths means I'm twice as good as Pin 😁😂😉
I had 1 minor back in 2017 when I pass
Amateurs, I got none. Welcome to America where everyone and their cats and dogs gets handed freaking license.
-- cuz you guys all use automatics, easiest car to function
RoyaltySarah it isn’t even a matter of automatic vs manual. Manual isn’t even hard unless you’re driving an 18 wheeler or a straight up race car. Our driver’s tests are so easy and that anyone could pass them in their sleep. We just have bad drivers through and through. The tests here are more of a formality or than an actual test. On top of all this, we got everyone driving an oversized crossover and thinking they own the road.
@@kiwionpizza1336 I know when I went to NewYork in 2016 when I was about 17 years old, the first thing I noticed on the freeways was the speed drivers would go at. It felt as though we were on a racing track with other vehicles, the majority of cars were huge and went at speeds that are practically illegal in most roads here in UK or Ireland.
The rates of car crashes is more common in the US though, and I can see why, they give driving license to pretty much anybody.
But in the UK the road rules are so tight, speed cameras are common, ticket people fining people every minute everyday, checkpoints everywhere. Its harder getting youre license here but it is in efforts to help saves lives in a way.
Hence the common use of buses and trains, uber etc
When you meet the final boss of driving instructors.

The Ultimate Driving Course would definitely help you with those minors Pin
I thought that was excellent driving pin, can he really mark you down for these petty things. It’s no good turning your head there, turn round and get a proper look lol I no the examiner is there to find faults but seriously is it impossible to pay a compliment or a positive 🙄
Aren't you the guy that comments on Shidbot's videos
@@私の名前を翻訳しないでください Indeed I am.
I've been looking for the times in the video where the faults are and thought I'd share them for anyone interested
Fault discussed at 40:55 is at 11:00
41:46 -> 17:15
42:56 -> 28:48
43:52 -> 30:40 presumably
44:41 -> 36:46
Cheers!
I only (slightly) agree with the first one
@@milovd Same here I suppose I would've eased off the gas and been prepared to brake but I wouldn't slow down much because that might make the lorry driver more likely to pull out, or it might annoy them because they're waiting for me to get past. It's like Pin said in his most recent mock test video, you need to show that you understand when you have priority and that you're not overly cautious otherwise you'd get faults for hesitation or appropriate speed probably
Damn Harry. You are a wizard :)
@@doctorpanigrahi9975 I'm a what?!
Haha, yeah I got pretty lucky finding some of those times, especially when I spotted the Himley Road sign at 28:48 :)
This proves that exams are ridiculously thorough, and that once you pass you forget some of the rules since they're ridiculous. Having taken the test in another country, I find it weird how less of an emphasis you guys put on situational awareness, and instead waste time on checking the blind spots until you get dizzy.
Also they do somethings different than in other countries. Like in Switzerland we park cars in 1st gear and it looks like they park in neutral...
@@SAA-hr9gr some people do some people don’t, been many a time I get in someone else’s car or my own and forget I left it in 1st gear and try to start the car
@@KILLGAMERSCOOT4LIFE You are supposed to leave it in gear 1 when leaving your car unattended, if the handbreak snaps and its not in gear it will roll away and hit something. The car being in gear prevents that
@elmucho Doesn't the car being in neutral prevent stalling? Not sure wondering because that's what my instructor has me do
@@suqmaddiqq You wont stall the car if you have the clutch in, lets say you turn the engine on with it in gear but you put the clutch down then it wont stall
This guy would fail you for indicating 0.04 seconds early.
This guy seems like the type of guy to pick out every little mistake you did that in the end doesn’t matter and fail you for it. Like the instructor I had on my first driving test.
This is the kind of guy I’m going to get on my test😭🤣
After he's had a row with the misses the night before so he's in a rotten mood.
That is who I imagine everytime I think about my driving test. He even has the accent.
I had a lady that makes this guy look like a kitten. Seriously it is a stressful enough situation as is without the examiner making it feel 10x more intense
This was my examiner 😂😂😂 not actually but he was like this dude
@James Stewart Taking my driving test tomorrow, and man I'm gonna try thinking like that, that I'm having fun driving, idk if thats bad but hey it will ease off my nerves.. thanks
We all pick up bad habits once we have passed our tests
This guy's picked up the bad habit of letting pesky passengers into the car !
My bas habbit is that i never drove since i passed my test, i "hate" cars, I didn't want to get my driver license. ironically I made passed both test in my first try.
@@Crank4life1 same. I force myself to drive atleast once every three days so that I get used to it in the long run. Almost hit a deer yesterday but luckily it was in a school area so I was going really slow.

"We're not that old, we don't wind the window down we just push the button" absolutely golden! 😆🤣
26:55 eyes on the road pin , eyes on the road
Hes hating on you for that joke you made about his age 😂
The questions the examiner was asking Pin about the ABS were hilarious 😂
What does the warning sign mean? When will you see it? How long does it stay on the dashboard? What colour pants am I wearing today? What will the weather be like in Manchester on Wednesday 8th October 2025? What is the capital of British Columbia? What did I have for breakfast this morning? What is the name of the large exotic bird from Paraguay?
For a minute I thought I was watching who wants to be a millionaire 😂😂
i saw a serious fault.... you were following signs to Kidderminster haha
It's funny because when we drive normal we are so chilled and relaxed. But as soon as your put under test conditions and your driving is under scrutiny you make all sorts of mistakes and feel like a beginner. Think this can happen to all of us.
My worst driving performance ever was during my driving test
you try and do the ADI part 2 driving test lol..ive driven over 1 million miles in 35 years plus i did 80 hours intense training.and still hit the kerb in my ADI test ,i passed JUST..but never been so nervous..))

@@diegoyuiop my best ever was during my test, I passed then as soon as I left the test centre I mounted the kerb 🤣
@@akmedia8206 🤣
I am gald im not form UK. All this unnecessary exaggerated looking around and the handbrake usage... Geez
Cant understand a word the instructor is saying
Yeahhhh is very hard to understand
yeah, it's difficult to understand. Even the auto subtitles have it difficult. ;)
@F1 Racer Dudley
I understood him relatively easily.
@F1 Racer Yeah, and that was not his fault. It is just of the insulation of the car that causes his voice to drown out. If he spoke to me in person I would easily understand him. But in this video, I could not understand a sentence or two...but now I do after listening again.
The legend has it... no driver has ever cleared driving test from this instructor! Everyone returned dead inside! He killed em all! This chap has single handedly destroyed thousands of driving dreams and young learner drivers! 😂😂😂
I believe he is direct descendant of Hitchcock!
Amazing how you manage to drive while describing everything, I'd probably crash in the first 10 meters if I did that. Congratulations on your channel and keep the great work!
i passed my test 6 months ago and i still watch every video😂
Same! 😂🤗
Jordan - thanks for watching
Jordan - i passed 11 years ago and still watch all these along with others you can never not learn and improve from them
Jordan - well m planing to do the same as that’s I develop thix new incredible hobby for improving my driving skills .... Congrats btw ❤️
Same haha and im from Australia so some of the rules dont make sence to ne lol
Ahaha OMG. Right....now swap seats and you excess him!!! 🤣😆

okay so no faults, just nit picking 🤣
There was no centre mirror check, there was DEFINITELY DEFINITELY DEFINITELY NOHR CENTRE MIRROR CHECK
You need more recognition! Honestly you explain everything for everyone to understand and your amazing instructor !! Keep it up ! 👍🏼
paigelou xo Thank you
F1 Racer there’s no sarcasm thank u very much 😂 I’m being honest he has helped me understand driving more than my 3 instructors I have so YEAH THANKS PIN YOUR AMAZING INSTRUCTOR😊😊😊
Yeah may be good at explaining but double standards highlighted lol FACTS. I like this instructor said it how it was to him. I don't think he thought he would be marked so rough due to his experience and status. Never over estimate your skills, be modest. Lesson learnt. Facts lol
Literally none of those were driving faults! What a dinosaur 🦕
You got your feelings HURT 😂 I don’t think I have laughed so much!

I did the same during my driving test ended up being she wrote my name...
@@Kaunain lol you serious?
@@ashleycrystal9719 yup what they do is whenever they write something it’s either a fault they’re noting down or they’re either filling in your details mid test maybe to scare you a little
Honestly you would expect from instructor to be a bit more professional and speak clearer english.
Alan: another minor fault for...
Me: I wonder if he is going to somehow reccomend the ultimate driving course too???
Talking about what you’re gonna do before you do it is a great idea! It makes you perform the action appropriately whilst showing the examiner you know your stuff... might need to get into a habit of this for my test in a few weeks to make sure I pass (third time lucky lol)
Update, pass!!
Congratulations
Are you allowed to talk like that in the actual test
I did that
Yes, facts. I did this and explained every decision I made - and the instructor really appreciated it.
when you obtain the boss as a playable character to fight the next boss
Lol
I’ve had my first car for a month now, passed my test on my second go. Really thought I’d failed it as well and had a couple of curveballs on the test but I dealt with it all okay thankfully. My best advice for the test is that if you make a mistake, try not to dwell on it. I didn’t check my right shoulder blind spot after I was asked to pull over the first time and I thought I’d failed there and then. This was after I’d done my manoeuvre really well, dealt with an awkward situation from a lorry immediately after leaving the test centre and just generally having had a decent drive. I was so angry after that and I could have failed due to complacency while I was dwelling on my mistake. But instead I thought I’d just make sure I checked my blind spot every time after that, have a good, safe drive and the instructor might be lenient. Turns out she either completely let me off or didn’t notice at all, as I didn’t even get a minor for it! Apparently not checking your blind spot isn’t an immediate fail anyway, according to my instructor, so getting angry about it was pretty stupid. Also, due to nerves, I actually managed to stall on my test when pulling out of a junction, but I kept calm and dealt with it rapidly and didn’t interfere with anyone’s drive. So imo the answer is if you make a mistake, keep calm and carry on - correct it and act like it never happened.
Roman Lakes very useful comment thanks
I’m pretty sure I got given a serious fault for stalling the car on my first test. Even though I was in a quiet place, posed a danger to absolutely no one, and I corrected it quickly
Very helpful comment😁
I drive in the USA but my first driving test (and my last, since I passed the first try) had 4 red light runners, about 10 people didn't use their signal to turn or change lanes, and one guy nearly plowed into me when they didn't care to look when coming out of a residential road. I dealt with all of them expertly and with finesse. I had only been driving for about 2 months at that point and my instructor said I'm a gifted driver.
@@ThallanarRabidtooth congratulations, well done - sounds like you did really well on your test! One thing I would say is that with all due respect, the standard of our driving test is much harder than any US driving test I’ve witnessed (and I have close family who live in the US). My driving instructor had been giving lessons to a lad who’d passed his test in California and then moved to England - that test involved driving around some cones at a test centre (wtf?).
There are many, many ways you can fail our test here, the standard is very high and it’s one of the hardest tests in the world. This is likely why we have so few road deaths per capita compared to countries like the US. It probably explains why you’re running into so many dangerous drivers too! On top of that, the vast, vast majority of us drive manual, so we have to learn in manual over here. Overall, I do believe the level to be much higher.
After almost two years of driving with a licence (and many months of lessons), I don’t claim to be an amazing driver, but after two months you will definitely be really inexperienced. Have confidence in your ability but most of that ability shouldn’t be dealing with things as they happen, it’s having the foresight to plan ahead and avoid them if possible. That’s the most important thing with driving, planning ahead so you don’t panic and aren’t surprised by things.
And despite our high standards, we still have a ridiculous number of pricks on the road who do dangerous things. Don’t get too confident in your ability, you’ve driven for two months and you’re going to keep learning for years. All that said, well done and take care!
I love how you explain the manoeuvres while driving, very helpful. I can't wait to finally take my driving test. Thank you for that 😁
The auto-generated subtitles are struggling with the Black Country accent lol
Pin ran out of red/amber/green colours while editing this video. 😂
Gee Singh 😂😂😂
This brought a smile on my face to see the ultimate instructor face off lol
Yh let’s get the slave master to judge
even listening to the guy introducing the test made me nervous D: and im only sat here watching the damn thing
Why is he shouting? Pin is sat right next to him 😂😂😂
Dudley
He's having a laugh :)
This show quite frequently the examiner just abusing their power to show their superiors or sometime just being too harsh, quite a lots of serious fault peoples failed was actually can consider as minor, them probably do this quite often in their own daily life. Them should really have another level of fault in between serious and minor, to give people more chance of passing. To those said argue this is for safety, please don’t bullshit yourself , you probably do that once or twice every week or even day. No one is perfect drivers, that’s why people get their point deduct on driving license.
Turning right in a left hand lane doesn’t make sense, I think he was a little hard on you because you’re an instructor as well.
Siobhan Airey True but if a left hand lane can be used for turning right then you should only be in the right if there is traffic in the left because you could prevent somebody using the right hand lane to overtake you.
In a new area and with minimal if any road markings though I agree it’s harsh but people tend to know an area before they take their test.
D Lucey there were no road markings to indicate otherwise, it’s more of a local custom than an official rule. That means the instructors in the area are by law incorrect, but it’s fine I guess as long as no accidents happen. Across rural England there are local customs like that which in my opinion is dangerous, because new drivers visiting may not be integrated.
David thank you. I didn’t know that.
I think it’s still taught though because if you don’t use the left lane properly on a motorway you could be fined due to careless driving rule 264.
I know that only applies to motorways but learners only learn about motorways if they do pass plus so it’s a custom but also good practice.
“Just keep your eyes on the road” 😭😭😭😂
Where ?
When he mentions him showing his age 😅🤣🤣
I’m curious if this examiner have ever passed someone?
Weather you pass or not partly depends on what side of the bed the examiner got out of that morning. I had 3 tests at the old Dudley test centre and my second test, the examiner was absolutely horrible. I complained about him and received a free test. He knocked my confidence quite significantly and even though I’ve been passed over 12 months now his words still ring around in my head. I’ve heard other people say similar things about this guy, with one person even calling him “soul destroying”.
Me on my driving test: "Take me on a test route that you think is quite difficult, and obviously if I do make any faults, which hopefully I wont" *nervous laugh*
Pray to god I don’t get a driving instructor like this
Yea do a lot of praying as i got one like him 100 year old 4ft tall and face like a sour grape never said a word to me unless it was to go the way or do something failed on that old git. The second time got a middle aged man was talkative and easy to relax around and passed even with a second guy in the back assessing the driving instructor. It is all down the the instructor and what mood they are in and age as for some reason the old guys are just a pain and awkward to be with and there silence just off putting.
He was way too strict on you, I passed my test with no minors and didn’t observe nearly any as much as you
same no minors :)
He is supposed to be ultra strict.
An instructor test to pass with a grade A is 0 faults I believe
@@duncanmill8977 An instructor who got 1 fault vs an instructor that got 6 driving faults (the limit) has nothing to do with what grade they are actually
Not an easy course for a driving test, most would fail if these was in their neck of the woods.
I feel like this guy just wanted to have some things to write down despite the fact that you drove perfectly just so it looked like he was doing his job lol
Examiners have iPads nowadays they make their notes on them
@@abdullahmasood1028Not all
Appreciate you sharing this, a lot of people wouldn't want to question their own profession which if anything is a hindrance to their own potential, speaks volumes, great video bro.
In my opinion, easing off the gas when a car is stopped ready to pull onto the road you're on could show intent that you're letting them out. I understand it's your right of way but I think you don't want to give them any doubts that you're going to let them out. Just maintaining a constant speed and being aware that they could still pull out on you is what I do
Over covid I found it extremely difficult to get hold of an instructor, and as a key worker I became more and more desperate for easier travel to work. I just want to say a massive thank you for your videos, I’ve been watching them a lot and driving with my dad and it’s been a tremendous help! I passed first time on Tuesday!! Thank you so much 💗 Ps. I think it’s so brave to do a video like this one and shows great support to your followers great job!
Bro where the driving lessons at for that girl
They probably had an accident and she’s still recovering in the hospital
Incomplete Dragon 🤣
Why am i here i already passed my test 2 years ago 😂😂😂
You got a minor for not excessively slowing down in case a lorry which never had enough time to exit would happen to exit the junction. If we all did that for cars at junction traffic would be at a stand still.
Great video just the sound quality again was quite poor especially when the car was running and moving. I think you should make a video where you asses Alan
It's mad seeing you drive around my area, I think he was a little harsh on the faults too.
The old gornal route was much tougher too, you should give that a go.
Richard Stanley I think the gornal route was a lot easier than this tbh, hardest part about it was pulling out of the test centre parking and the first round about with about 50 blind corners
@@xXMechaStepper70sXx imo the gornal route had more side streets and hill starts, I think it depended on the route the tester used though.
Richard Stanley yeah fair enough I get you
Same by us, its all loads of hills, narrow roads, hazards everywhere, in some areas if you can drive and be safe in them you will be fine everywhere else 😁 so many parked cars and vans and roadworks its a miracle anyone leaves safe and pulls out at all 🙄 well done for Pin doing an unfamiliar area and route and showing learners what he was doing 👍
@@Soggyoldsock I did the majority of all of this route when I did my test at the Gornal Test Centre. The only bit I didn't do was the Merry Hill bit and the bit at the start coming away from K'ford/Pensnett. I noticed once the did the right turn towards Cinder Bank roundabout. The four roundabouts I hate have a road connecting 3 of them together (Pegasus, Cinder Bank and Castlegate roundabouts) I find them so difficault to understand what the other traffic is doing along with making sure the other traffic knows what I'm doing. The ironic bit is that I have to use all 4 roundabouts if I go home though Birminham way rather than the Wolvo way 😂.
this might be this man’s job but he’s awful 😂😂
I passed my Driving test 8 months ago and watching this still gives me anxiety. Thank god my dad was a driving instructor before and he knows defensive driving and still remembers what to do. Passed on my first go with no mistakes. Shame I didn’t discover this before I did the test. Still entertaining and educational.
Lucky u
Scary examiner oh my 😭
I do hope I don't get an old get like that ....
lol
I passed my test 8 months ago and watching these videos still make me nervous and kick my test PTSD off 😂
Oh shut up
You took his criticism so badly. He was correct the entire time and I don't think he was harsh on you, at all. You can't tell him to be honest and then start to deny or say that you disagree with him.
Dude I have my driving test tomorrow and this video is in my area so basically I could potentially have this guy and this route. Idk man now I'm sweating 😂
But om frum Dudleh so should b jus foiyun.
Edit: Wasn't that guy... Aaaand I failed. 5 minors and 2 debatable majors. Maybe I should have a test run with DGN 😂 and check out the Ultimate Driving Course...
Hijikata's Bigfan have you passed yet or can’t because of coronavirus
@@G4721arw the virus 😭 no idea when I can next take a test.
Oh no that’s so unlucky, as you can’t really practice as well. I passed in January so I only just missed this whole situation!
You won't get him as he's an instructor not an examiner but my first test ever I had a guy a bit like him. It definitely affected my nerves. After the test he sat there angrily ranting about my faults to my instructor. I felt that was rude an uncalled for and that obviously I hadn't been taught well enough by that instructor. I changed driving company after that. lol
Good luck on your next test! I was due to do mine and couldn’t because of corona it felt weird driving again this week
I passed my test yesterday with 3 minors, thanks Pin, your videos really helped a lot!
taragon19990 Congratulations and thanks for watching
No driver including an ADI is perfect neither is a professional driver with all license entitlements held. You might be 99.9% but you'll never be 100% thats why you're a human being.
Hi Pin!! Just want to say thank you SO much for all of your helpful videos you upload. I am in New Zealand and haven't had driving lessons in one whole year but just passed my test with no errors, all thanks to what I believe is your help, albeit indirect! Keep it up, your work is much appreciated :D
yolo That’s great to hear. Congratulations and thanks for watching.
