Jimbo I want to say thanks very much. I did my test today 7:30am in silverwater. I failed in Botany first time. I need to drive because my company asked me to drive for them. My boss was really upset. I did a class last Monday the instructor said that I was bad and the time I booked was terrible. It was the only spot available soon. He said to delay test for the end of January. I just ignored and yesterday I watched ALL your videos. Today I remember everything and I passed. I will still watching your videos and also reference to everyone. You are the best!
Really good stuff. Wish I have seen your videos before my first test (which I did not pass) but after watching all your videos (more than once) a few hours ago I passed on my second go with 100% at Brookvale. Thanks to you!!!! Keep that work I am sure you are helping thousands and thousands of people. Cheers 🎉
Just passed at Weatherill park! Full marks. Gotta admit it was definitely your videos that made me pass. Got worried at a right turn due to traffic behind me constantly beeping at me because it was a busy period.
Hi Jimbo, I now have 7 1st goers to my credit. Took over a 2 times failure and told him he would have to drive like a pro. this time. You keep me up to scratch as well, Best wishes "Cloudwatcher" Queensland
Hey Jimbo!! I recently passed my test, never had a driving instructor but i watched your videos the last few days before the test and you helped majorly. Thank you!
Hey Jimbo!! I passed my Ps test at Burleigh Heads, QLD first go! Thank you so much for the tips, they helped me ease my nerves and gain confidence. Couldn’t have done it without you! Keep up the good work, I know everyone appreciates it!
Hey Jimbo,I just moved here and am an experienced driver,but I failed my test.Then I came across your videos and watched 5 or 6 of them the day before retaking the test and passed. I realised I would have failed again but i didn’t thanks to you.I appreciate your videos.Thanks so much!
Passed my driving test on December 2nd which was on Wednesday morning I had my test around 9am in the morning and got a pass on the first go thanks for your help Jimbo I’ve learnt so much from watching your vids 💯
Hi Jimbo, could you please make a video on how to judge the distance of oncoming cars especially at T intersections, turning onto main roads and turning with oncoming traffic? I have a hard time judging whether cars are far enough for me to select a safe gap to enter traffic flow.
Hi pyper yes i will do a video on this but at the end of the day it take practice to get familar with gap selection. Its hard to show distance on a video and explaining cars need to be 5 seconds back really doesnt help much. Ill see what i can do.
Hi Jimbo, I just had my test today and passed first go with 100%! Thank you SO much for everything, your videos were lifesavers! Keep up the great work :)
Hi Natasha that is great news you passing 1STGO and with 100%!!! What a great effort. Im glad i could help you out. Thanks for watching and stay safe :)
Jimbo another success story :) Chatswood 11/12, 9am Success! First go, your videos have been invaluable, when it comes time for my younger family members to drive, your videos will be the gold standard, thank you :) ! Could you also cover pedestrian crossings @ give way signs etc. Thank you
Hi Jimbo, thank you so much for your wonderful tips n suggestions I passed my test today with 💯 you are awesome. I will keep watching your videos to improve my driving Please keep your good work thanks 🙏
@@thedrivingtestguynsw8424 headchecking and turning out of streets on to the main road, i clipped the line a bit. also didn’t come to a complete stop at one stop sign.
Best of luck jimbo loolike you are the upcoming driving instructor star,just wondering how if you make a video of driving test on Gregory hill route in which you are the examiner and a driver both so all your instructions will be incorporated in a practical demonstration ,if convenient for you to film. Thanks
During the test with Service NSW Newcastle i was the green car A turning Left as it said turn left only, no stop sign or give way to red car C, and still failed. I wish i could send the complain to the service centre but all i have to do is try again....
Hi Koko it's on the list. I have done Reverse Parallel. I filmed 45 deg Angle but the results weren't good so I have to do it again. Also have 90deg parking planned. So stay tuned :)
Can you please help me understand this weird intersection right near revesby service centre (I have my test there tomorrow), the coordinates on Google earth is 33°57’06’’S151°00’56’’E.
Hi Jimbo, take the picture at minute of 7:31: which car will have priority IF both car A and B turn RIGHT (instead of car B going straight)? Thanks alot
Hi Jimbo, I have found your instruction videos super helpful in the lead up to my test this week! I am from Victoria and I am wondering if you need to indicate around parked cars on small residential streets? I have heard that you always indicate when crossing the line but I have also heard indicating in and out around parked cars can lead other road users behind you to think that you are pulling over and they may attempt to overtake. Thanks!
Hi Gabrielle on the NSW test if you have diverge out more than a cars width then you have to do checks and signals out and then back in. It's most prob the same in Vic. Its usually the case in narrow streets. If you only have to diverge slightly then don't worry.
Hi sir ur all videos r so helpful .i am learning alot from them i request u to make a clear video about 45 angel reverse parking n 90 angel as well .thank u
Hi Jimbo, thanks for your videos. They have helped me clarify a lot of scenarios. However, I need a bit of help with a modified T junction on Sandgate road and Tilli Street ( Newcastle area, NSW). Could you please have a look if you get a chance? Thank you
Hi, I wanted to ask, how do I supposedly make a safe right turn at a T intersection when parked cars completely block my view of oncoming traffic in both sides? Will it be okay if you could make a video on that?
Hey jimbo can you check out Croydon Main Street in Victoria. Its near our suburbs and I always avoid going there because its a bit confusing for me. So I just take the long way home
Hi, Jimbo! Can you please guide me regarding 'keep clear' road markings. I know you will not stop on this markings when traffic lights are red, but can we stand on it when lights turns green and the cars are not moving fast and maybe I end up standing few seconds on the 'keep clear' markings?
Hi NH generally if you cross into the Keep Clear section and you cannot get to the other side you are out. F15 fail I believe. This includes if the light is green and you only get held up for a couple of seconds and get moving again before it goes red. Only move into it if there is room to get through.
@@thedrivingtestguynsw8424 thanks Jimbo, that's what I think but my examiner failed me for not following road rule, and said I was obstructing the traffic behind and he has to intervene to asked me why I was not moving. When I told him that I can see I can't fit in there so need to wait till there is some space for me to move behind that car in front of me. And he said no move on when signals are green and its fine if u are standing there as the car in front will eventually move soon🤦♀️
if a car that you're supposed to give way to (i.e a car turning left and you turning right at an intersection) lets you proceed and you do so, will you fail?
Yes people have failed because of this. Try and get the other person to go by waving them on. They are probably trying to be nice but they are not doing you any favours. If it gets to the point where the other person just will not go, then tell the examiner they are not clearly not going and that you will have to go. It should be ok then.
Hey jimbo, I’ve got my test next week and I just wanted to know do they make you do like 2 of the main things like 3 point turn, reverse parking etc or do you only do one or could they also make you do all of them. And how many attempts do you get ?
Hi akathadrilla. You will be asked to do 2 manoeuvres. One is always the Kerbstop. The other one is either 3 point turn or Reverse Park. You don't do both 3pt and Reverse Park. You usually only get one attempt but I've heard of occasions when a student has asked for a second go and the examiner has said ok.
Just curious, if I'm at an intersection with stop signs either side, i'm turning right and another car opposite side is turning right also, who gives way?
Hi Sam you can turn in front of each other provided the side stop signs are safe and no one is coming up behind the turning car in front and coming straight through.
Hi Shruuti Unfortunately Silverwater isn't on my radar at the moment. But there are plenty of people who watched my "How to Pass..." series of vids and have passed at Silverwater.
@@thedrivingtestguynsw8424 I have a question for you. If we are the first car the green circle is on with red left/ right arrow, can we still enter the intersection coz of the green circle light or no because of the red left/ right arrow?
hey jimbo, my instructor tells me to shoulder check and do a head check when im the first car at a traffic light. e.g. turning right at lights, do a right shoulder check, left head check for oncoming traffic and then go. i personally feel a right and left head check for anyone running a red should be fine, and that the shoulder check is a bit useless. what are your thoughts on this?
Hi gurnoor i dont worry about the right shoulder check. Just do side to side at the lights. The examiner will only mark the side to side check when you are first at the line.
could you do a video on T intersections when there is a pause in the middle in between medium strips and how to approach that? or give advice as a comment about all of that? thanks!
@@thedrivingtestguynsw8424 good news! I passed my Ps test today (second go) in SA with a score of 92%, thank you for all your videos - really helped me learn a lot of different things that I hadn't picked up on in other lessons.
@@thedrivingtestguynsw8424 I failed my test today because I had a part of the car on the stop line but I am certain I did not and used the method by having the stop line just under my mirror when looking from the drivers seat right side mirror, was just wondering if their are any methods I can use to help me with my test next week
@@rhyshallit6762 Sorry to hear about your F1 fail at the stop sign Rhys. My thoughts are that if you can visually see the line under your mirror then you have gone too far. What I teach is to approach the line, when it visually disappears below your line of sight over your bonnet, just roll a little bit more and stop. That usually works. Just roll a bit after the line disappears.
Hi Jimbo, yesterday had my test and I failed. The reason was doing shoulder check with the indicator and also the person told that it was that I turned wheels before I turned my head.....Surprisingly, he didn’t so for manoeuvre s no kerb side, no three-point turn, no reverse parallel...When we were coming back to the test centre I was pretty sure that I will pass as I did all right things but then got this jolt..... Could you do a vid on the score sheets and also on changing line and turning with good timing on indicator and shoulder check? Thanks a tonne for all your help...I am going to watch the vids again before I take my test.
Hi Shivangi sorry to hear you didn't qualify yesterday. Sound like you got F19 in relation to headchecks. I have covered this in this vid. th-cam.com/video/N4TlGUAZCb4/w-d-xo.html . You basically need to signal sufficiently and do head checks before you do your turn or diverge.
@@Ayokapur The reason you didn't do any Manoeuvres is because you had already got the fail item before them. Because of Covid once you fail they bring you straight back to the test centre. The F1 is disobeying a traffic sign or signal. Did the examiner say what that was ?
Hi Drei the examiner only marks when you are first at the line. However red light runners can come through anytime so from the safe driving aspect it's good to check each time.
Hey Is Listening to music on the Radio whilst I drive on my Practical Driving Test is that Allowed? And Can I also listen to the Radio whilst driving on my L's as to calm the nerves
Hi Luci re music on the driving test. I think it is a case of asking the examiner and if they are ok with it. Re Ls yes you can have the radio on. Make sure the source of your music is not your phone.
Hi Xeon yes it's these non standard intersections that often cause fail items purely because they haven't been experienced during the log book hours at home and the student doesn't know what to do when it comes up on a test. Thanks for watching and glad I can help you.
Hi Jimbo, thanks for your great lesson once again. I want to ask, it's not related to modified T intersection, what should we do if we on the intersection with Stop sign in each direction like in this location (65 Yangoora Rd 65 Yangoora Rd, Belmore NSW 2192, Australia maps.app.goo.gl/tgysLcch5xvXGWjn6)? Which one should go first if on the same time there are four cars heading to that intersection. Thanks
Hi Yuwana that intersection is really sucky. Its not quite a cross street but two tightly packed T intersections. I'll have to spend a bit more time looking at it but the only thing that would work here is what happens in the US, whoever got there first goes first.
The end of my street is a modified T (my street would be where car C is) and it does my head in that no one indicates to go into my street.. you're crossing a line/entering a new street 🤦🏼♀️
every single day I try to watch at least 4 of your videos until my examination comes up in 3 weeks time.

Just roll a bit after the line disappears.
@@thedrivingtestguynsw8424 thank you for the advice and I was also wondering if you do lessons and if so do you work around Dundas, thanks
@@rhyshallit6762 Hi Rhys unfortunately just the Macarthur area (Campbelltown and Narellan). Feel free to post any questions here.
Hi Jimbo, yesterday had my test and I failed. The reason was doing shoulder check with the indicator and also the person told that it was that I turned wheels before I turned my head.....Surprisingly, he didn’t so for manoeuvre s no kerb side, no three-point turn, no reverse parallel...When we were coming back to the test centre I was pretty sure that I will pass as I did all right things but then got this jolt..... Could you do a vid on the score sheets and also on changing line and turning with good timing on indicator and shoulder check? Thanks a tonne for all your help...I am going to watch the vids again before I take my test.
Hi Shivangi sorry to hear you didn't qualify yesterday. Sound like you got F19 in relation to headchecks. I have covered this in this vid. th-cam.com/video/N4TlGUAZCb4/w-d-xo.html . You basically need to signal sufficiently and do head checks before you do your turn or diverge.
@@thedrivingtestguynsw8424 ...F1, H,S and HSH....in his notes...which i dont understand...is it ok if the examiner doesn't ask for manoveurs....?
@@Ayokapur The reason you didn't do any Manoeuvres is because you had already got the fail item before them. Because of Covid once you fail they bring you straight back to the test centre. The F1 is disobeying a traffic sign or signal. Did the examiner say what that was ?
do you still need to do headchecks even if you're not first at the traffic lights?
Hi Drei the examiner only marks when you are first at the line. However red light runners can come through anytime so from the safe driving aspect it's good to check each time.
Hey Is Listening to music on the Radio whilst I drive on my Practical Driving Test is that Allowed? And Can I also listen to the Radio whilst driving on my L's as to calm the nerves
Hi Luci re music on the driving test. I think it is a case of asking the examiner and if they are ok with it. Re Ls yes you can have the radio on. Make sure the source of your music is not your phone.
@@thedrivingtestguynsw8424 Thank you 😎
what do u mean when u say confirm the stop with a bounce?
Hi Tom it's that sensation you get when you actually stop and the suspension bounces down and then up a bit.
@@thedrivingtestguynsw8424 cheers jimbo!
Hazard test please ❤️ thank you
Great🎉
Thanks a million
Awesome video
Hey mate how long does a driving test usually take?
Hi Jaymen at the moment you are in the car with the examiner about 30 to 35 mins.
Thank you.
very helpful thanks so much！
Glad I could help you out :)
Thanks Jimbo it's a very strange intersection
Hi Xeon yes it's these non standard intersections that often cause fail items purely because they haven't been experienced during the log book hours at home and the student doesn't know what to do when it comes up on a test. Thanks for watching and glad I can help you.
@@thedrivingtestguynsw8424 Yeah I have came across one, with a driving instructor. He wasnt even sure if you indicate.
Loves failing by 1%. Videos are great though.
Thats pretty sucky pancakes. Better luck next time :)
Hi Jimbo, thanks for your great lesson once again.
I want to ask, it's not related to modified T intersection, what should we do if we on the intersection with Stop sign in each direction like in this location (65 Yangoora Rd
65 Yangoora Rd, Belmore NSW 2192, Australia
maps.app.goo.gl/tgysLcch5xvXGWjn6)? Which one should go first if on the same time there are four cars heading to that intersection.
Thanks
Hi Yuwana that intersection is really sucky. Its not quite a cross street but two tightly packed T intersections. I'll have to spend a bit more time looking at it but the only thing that would work here is what happens in the US, whoever got there first goes first.
The end of my street is a modified T (my street would be where car C is) and it does my head in that no one indicates to go into my street.. you're crossing a line/entering a new street 🤦🏼♀️
Hi Emma yes it would be good if other drivers would signal at these intersections. It would make it safer for everyone. Thanks for watching 😃
OWWWWW AEGGHHHHHHHHH WOHAOWHWOAHOHWOHAOHOH NOOOOOOO
