      Advance Driving School hi my test is next week i just want to know is it very important to park only under the lines when u r asked to reverse park in a bay .. i mean can reverse park but some times i do go out of the line can this leads to fail me in test

      Advance Driving School hi can you tell me how many lessons we need like for automatic driving ? And after how many lessons better to book the test ? Please reply?

    • @AdvanceDrivingSchool
      @AdvanceDrivingSchool  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      The DVSA state that the average person has 47 hours of lessons before passing their test - but we have had people pass with less than half this amount, and more than double. Only book the test when you are ready - and it will take as long as it takes. Don’t rush anything and put yourself in danger 👍🏼

    Now I can finally say I'm part of the 'passed my test but still watching' group! Thank you so much for your helpful and in depth videos. One month leading up to my test I watched your videos day in day out and they really helped me. I passed today on my 3rd time with only 3 minors. After my 2nd fail I had no confidence and really wanted to give up but I'm so glad I never 😅. For anyone taking their test soon my only real advice is:
    1. Get a good nights sleep
    2. Eat a good 'brain food' breakfast
    3. Don't drive too much before your test but do carry out a few things you're not too confident on
    4. TRY to stay calm (easier said than done) and don't worry too much about any faults you think you've made . Just stay collected, positive and keep going!
    5. Keep studying and watching lots of videos, they really do help
    Good luck everyone! 🚗

    • @AdvanceDrivingSchool
      @AdvanceDrivingSchool  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      They do the eyesight test before getting into the car at the start. We have to read a car registration plate at 20.5 metres, which is about 4 car lengths. This should be easy for most people, but I have seen a couple fail this - which ends the test straight away!

    Been riding motorcycles for 6 years though in those four years have done 100s of miles. My current bike is a Suzuki GSX 1400 and bought it with 7k miles on the clock just nearly 3 years ago and it's now up to over 40k miles. Was the same with my previous two bikes. I've recently starting to learn to drive a car which I already know how to drive one as in operate them and I obviously know how to use the road in general however the one thing I'm struggling slightly with is the size of the car and being able to judge gaps correctly on a bike it's easy as I'm central to the bike.
    Do you have any tips or advice on how to best get used to the physical size of a car?

      This video might help you get used to general positioning on the road: th-cam.com/video/8-RI8da-qZc/w-d-xo.html and otherwise just never try and squeeze through any gaps! I’m sure you will get used to it with a little practice 🚙👍🏼

    Hi there,
    Love your channel.
    Just a quick question about using handbrake while you are waiting on the traffic light. Is that a requirement during the test? Some instructors say yes, others say no? What is your opinion about this?
    Thank you 😊

      There will always be a difference between the two speedometers, but for the purposes of the test the examiner will be using the car’s speedometer.

    • @AdvanceDrivingSchool
      @AdvanceDrivingSchool  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      We would recommend keeping regular lessons going while you wait, otherwise your skills will slip. Keep checking all local test centres and book whatever is available. The waiting time for a test is usually much longer in summer, so book it while you can!

    It would’ve been more helpful if there were actual visual examples of mistakes/ potential mistakes being made, followed by an analysis of what should’ve been done or visual examples of how to use observation more effectively in real life driving situations, with hazards circled in the video. It was a lot more talking in the video. *World Driving* has a lot more visual examples in their videos if you are unsure what I mean. So sorry if it sounds like I’m complaining but this video includes such a great tip but it won’t be understood by everyone without visual examples 😕

    • @AdvanceDrivingSchool
      @AdvanceDrivingSchool  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thanks for the feedback. There were plenty of hazards as we drove through town, and you can see that we slow down in case any of them ‘developed’ and forced us to stop. Maybe next time we’ll try to highlight them somehow to make it more obvious 👍🏼

      To even have a driving license in the U.K. the minimum standard of eyesight is the ability to read a car registration plate at a distance of 20.5 metres - so everyone should be able to see far enough to forward plan effectively 👍🏼

    • @AdvanceDrivingSchool
      @AdvanceDrivingSchool  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It’s a fun car to drive, but I wouldn’t necessarily call it ‘comfortable’ as the suspension is quite firm. Fuel economy is good for a car of this power at about 40mpg. If you enjoy driving and like a responsive car you’ll love it!

    Could anyone tell me whether I'm allowed to open my door at the end of reversing into a bay manoeuvre to check that I'm within the lines? My instructor told me this isn't allowed but I've been told by other people that it's allowed 😕

      That's great, thanks for your speedy reply! Would you suggest using the hand brake before opening the door? Asking because my instructor told me that once I use my handbrake that means I've officially finished the manoeuvre.

    • @AdvanceDrivingSchool
      @AdvanceDrivingSchool  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      We haven't heard that said about the handbrake. Just so there is no doubt about what you are doing, you could always tell the examiner that you haven't finished before you have a look. In our experience we can see in the side mirrors if we are in or not, so don't often open the door.
