@@jvong8860 shut up mate
How much u get paid to say that?
@@jvong8860 fuck god hes not real
I just passed my test first time around an hour ago, 5 minor faults. I am honestly so excited, and so thankful to not only my instructor, but to you. I was watching these videos long before I had even started my lessons, because I am a very panicky person. These videos and your Ultimate Driving Course helped me so much you do not even understand. THANK YOU!
Also, the examiner lady was extremely nice and kept the conversation going to ease any sort of stress, I thank her for that too.
@_ Habibi Yeah I got a little Hyundai i30
@@massapin9293 how’s the car doing?
@@Joetibbles All perfect so far mate
How is he still getting lectured 😂😂 love it!
Innit
Like let the guy drive now🤣🤣
😂
Pins gonna show up to his wedding like "you want the ultimate driving course yeh?"
@@ducks3107 🤣🤣🤣
Loool
I have to disagree with the P plates, people see that you've passed so they expect you to have the same sudden knowledge and experience as a person who's driven for 20 years. It's better to just blend in so people don't know. A lot of bullies on the roads, don't wear the freshman sticker.
This 💯💯💯
Unfortunately in Ireland it is mandatory to have N plates for the first 2 years after passing your driving test
@@ciemny9410 I understand, in Britain or the UK it's only mandatory to have L plates when you're a learner. P plates when you've passed are optional here.
In Australia it’s mandatory to have them for 4 years :( red p plates are for 1 year then you change to green for 3 years
L plates and P plates make other drivers do dangerous things. Definitely better to avoid them. I literally stopped using L plates, never ever would of got P plates.
Brandon is a genuine guy and you can tell.
I love watching this. Almost reminds me of getting my first car back in July, haven't stalled it yet after 8 months of being a new driver.
I'm tryna be like you 😎
@@brandonkaila7435 Won't be long before you've got it my dude. Ford gang.
It’s a good feelin when you get your first car congratulations brandon🎉🎉
Thankyou 😁
@@brandonkaila7435 you welcome
Congratulations Brendon. Very nice car indeed. My first and only car is my 2013 Hyundai i10. Got it used in 2015 and we're still going strong. Hope you grow as attached to your car as I have.
I'm loving every minute 😎
The hyundai i series is honestly amazing. For a korean brand thay have really managed to keep up with fords and vw hot hatches. They have allota soul for a car c:
I flipped mine 2 weeks in
not arsed
I relate to Brandon so much with the parents as passengers thing - my mum's always saying I'm too close to the curb, and dad's very critical of even the most minor mistake.
I drive much better alone or with mates.
I agree so much with this
Yeh my step dad is very critical too 😅
Like if I sit on the clutch a little bit too much it would trigger him 😂
Tell them to do a mock test. I guarantee they have minors. Parent's always contradict
This is literally what I thought just a few days ago when I drove my parents to the mall. Them reminding me in a stern voice how close I am to cars or curbs next to me just made me even more anxious💀. I’m so much calmer and relaxed when I’m driving alone or when I’m driving with someone who doesn’t know how to drive.
So happy for this dude. He worked hard, but it all paid off. Perfect. 😃
Finally part of the passed but still watching gang💯👏🏿 this channel was a massive help
Same here 💪
Congrats 🎆👏👏🎆🎆
I got my first car last month after passing on December and I am still terrified to park 😆 I literally refuse to drive to a place where I have to parallel park but I guess I have to suck it up and just do it 🤟🏻 Congratulations on your first car Brandon 🎉
My first 9 months of driving and I parrel parked 0 times, will just drive till I don’t have to park parralell
Same got my car in December and I’ll only go somewhere if there’s bay parking available 😂
@@kiandavies3138 reminds me of my mum’s friend. She would drive home if she can’t find parking 😆
@@Lisac11226 one day we will park like a pro.. just need some guts and more practice 👌🏻😆
I sort of get where you’re coming from. I mastered parallel parking straight away and was comfortable in my first car and even family members bigger cars like range rovers and Bentleys. Then one day in my moms car I couldn’t hear the sensors due to the music. I parked up and curbed the alloy and then a little girl popped out from behind the car (didn’t hit her) but the realisation that I could have easily done so shook me up and even now I get paranoid 🥲
I'm so happy to see you continuing to make videos with Brandon!
I passed my test over 2 years ago now and just bought my first car which is also a Ford Focus! 2013 Titanium X Nav :) Congrats Brandon🎉
Thankyou and congrats also 😊
On 22/3/2022 I passed my driving test!!! I was actually skilful enough the 1st time but I failed due to nervousness. Today is my redemption and I passed with 2 points to spare(From Singapore) the standard of driving here is one of the strictest in the world so I’m so happy to pass, my 19th birthday was literally 2 days ago, best present for myself!
pure bollocks "too nervous" my arse
Bought my first car 18 months ago, after passing, It's a beautiful 10-year-old sunshine yellow Corsa and I'm in love with it
Yesss!! Oldish first cars are the best. Mine was only £1100 but I love it
Sameee corsa gang🥰😂 how much was the insurance
It's good to see Brandon we thought we never see you again after you pass the exam and congrats for your new car stay safe.
Look at how the tables have turned. Congrats Brandon🎉 I passed in November and I still don't have a car😞 hopefully it won't be that long till I get mines.
Passed in February and no car. Pretty nervous I will forget how to drive. 😅
im the same. passed on the 8th november and still havent got one
@@ButterflySimmer ask your previous instructor for refresher lessons if you're too nervous to drive by the time you get a car. I passed 31st Jan and got a car beginning of Feb. I have covid right now and it sucks not getting out to drive 😒
@@matthewgray2069 yeah that is what I planning to do when I get my car 😌 or when I definitely know when I getting it. Get well soon Matthew 🥰
@@ButterflySimmer it's a good idea and good luck! Thank you 😊
I passed today first time with 2 minors! Your videos have definitely helped. Thank you!
Congratulations!!! Happy for you.
I have my test tomorrow and can't stop talking about it. lol. I've only done about 6 hours of lessons. Lmao!
@@donjols1605 hey! any updates?
@@dragraceworld710 Pleased to say I passed my driving test!!!! 5 minor faults though.... 1 from the tell me question (distance for using a fog light? Ans: 100m), 2 from hesitation at junction, 1 for taking off too early, and the last fault for control while reversing (I did a 2-car length reverse and parked as close to the kerb as I could but examiner said I made him dizzy in split seconds while trying to be really close to the kerb, lol)
Hey, congrats for the car, I actually have the same car (also as my first car) and I've been using it for a while!
I'm 21 and I also recently got the driving license so it's basically the same situation as yours but in Italy and 4 months later.
Here are some tips for you:
1. Handbrake: you can use it for starting on a hill by holding it UP, and when you release it, it will set OFF automatically. The passenger can also use it to slow down the vehicle in case of an emergency by pulling it UP and keeping it UP until the car is stopped, however you can override it by keep pushing the accelerator. (A lot of cars with electronic handbrake has this feature)
2. Autobrake: it's the button you have under the Handbrake one (it's like this: "(A)"). You can enabling it by pushing it. If it's enabled it will automatically apply the brakes when you are completely stopped and press the brakes harder. When the car is holding the brakes the "(A)" icon will appear on your cluster display and it will release the brakes when you build enough power to overcome the hill you're on (so basically the correct throttle and clutch pedal). It also works when you are not on a hill so you can avoid putting the real handbrake on. Also if the autobrake is holding the brakes and you open the door, unbuckle the driver or turn off the car, it will automatically put your handbrake on.
3. Auto Start/Stop: it's ON by default and it will turn of the engine if you're stopped, the battery is charged enough and the temperature is correct. It will also restart the engine for you if you stall it. You can disable it by pressing the "A" button on the last button on the right of the gear lever. It will automatically disable if you put your car in the Sport mode and it will be more aggressive if you are in the Eco mode (which I probably used one time only)
4. Driving modes: if you put your car in Eco mode the acceleration it's a lot smoother, it will help you to get used to your new car. It's the first button on the right of the gear lever. I usually use Sport mode when I'm entering the highway so I get the best acceleration in case I need it (and it's also funny).
5. De-fogging: if you rotate the A/C temperature to the max (and then rotate it harder to make it click) it will automatically set your A/C settings to the Windshield to quickly de-fog it. When you're finished you can re-click it and it will restore the previous A/C settings.
6. Automatic emergency call: if you pair your bluetooth device and enable the Automatic Emergency Call on the screen, in case of an accident it will connect to your phone, call the emergency services, send the coordinates (and occupants info) to them and open the line for you to speak to them.
Read the manual as it's full of amazing stuff and knowing your car it's only going to help you!
I freaking love this car and I'm sure you will too!
If you need something else don't hesitate to contact me, have a nice day :)
Aaaand sorry for my bad english :D
Passed today with 6 minors, thanks so much for all the useful tips it was honestly such a big help
How long did you have to wait to find a test date?
@@alexgawthrop1748 This was my second attempt, my first attempt was in September so the next date that was available was half a year later 😬
@@Lutfur12345 wow that's long. But we'll done mate
@@alexgawthrop1748 Appreciate it 👍
Awwww love Brandon, wishing him all the luck with his driving
I passed my test today I really felt your videos and course help so thank you 😊 x
I have passed first time with 4 minors in South Yardley, Birmingham and couldn’t do it without your videos! I’ve watched Taz and Brandon’s lessons a countless times and have seen all the mock tests. Thank you Pin for all the effort you put in making those videos it’s truly appreciated!
Congratulations. What happened on the test day? I've got my test in July
@@mistertechnogamer0172 It was quite easy to be honest. I’ve had a very nice and polite examiner who explained how long test is going to last and that we will be following satanav. I didn’t pay any attention to him, was driving as I was on my own 😂 Plenty of mirrors checks , planning ahead and talking to myself. My manoeuvre was reverse parking on the right side of the road. I think the key is to show that you are confident driver and you know what you are doing 👍good luck on your test🤞
@@psychoslug2012 what time was your test at?
@@mistertechnogamer0172 At 1.35pm
I got a test in south yardley soon , any tips or anything
Congrats Brandon on your new car !
I wanted focus too . Started learning when I was 36 years old , passed at 37 so I'm a bit older driver lol got myself an old fiesta when started learning but after passing I bought Suzuki Vitara which is about same price as your focus . I pay about the same in total for my car , but I'm looking to change to a different insurance company soon as I can get it about 50 pounds cheaper .
From first lesson to being with the once a learner driver in their new car is amazing
You should get Brandon to do a mock test, would be entertaining
That would be funny 😂
@@brandonkaila7435 Make it happen 😈
Finally getting to watch these as part of the passed test club 🤣🤣 failed my test the same week Brandon did in autumn but now finally passed on the 2nd attempt too! Congrats Brandon, your new car looks fab 🎉
For a new driver. I would not recommend getting a car on Finance or leasing a car because if your car breaks down. You will have to pay for the repairs when there is no car.
If someone is buying on finance they're likely to buy a more expensive car and so the chances of breakdown and need for repairs is much lower than buying a cheaper car outright with high mileage.
ive recently started learning and i have absolutely no experience with cars and costs as no one around me has ever driven, so this is really helpful and insightful thank you :)
10:39 I feel for this guy so much, nothing but pain and suffering
Same here it’s called back seat driving had my license for around 7 years and she always say slow down when I’m on the right speed limit on highways 😂 🙄
It's like she's trynna give herself more time to react in case he messes up😂
Funny to see the things it does to some people when they're not in control
(I don't mean that in a bad way; e.g. Pin's nervousness cuz no pedals despite being a badass driving instructor and sitting next to a safe, qualified driver)
I’m so happy for you Brandon!! 😁 I’ve got my driving license last week and I can’t wait till I get my own car!!
Enjoyed watching your various driving videos and I'm very experienced and just never done car test but did my bike test 11 Yr ago, finally passed my test yesterday 21st March 1st time with only 7 brush up lessons and no minors at all. Thanks for the content.
Sick first car I'll tell ya that! Congrats
Congratulations, be safe and enjoy your car Brandon!.🙌🏼🤗 It would be great if you do mock tests in the rush hours, I had my test this Monday at 12pm and they have changed it for me for next Monday at 14:30pm. However I will be passing in sha allah. Wait for an update 😁
InshaAllah
hehehehe suuuiiii
InshaAllah 🙌🏼
Would love to see Taz and Brandon together in a video !
That a sweet looking car. Still saving for my car after my driving test.
Loved this video, so good to see use reunited and Brandon driving his new car after passing was great to see. I would love to see use do a lesson on the motorway. Thank you for sharing ☺️
nice car. I got my first car a few weeks ago its actually my dream car tbh.. its a peugeot 107 and i love it!!
I have the same car and I love it small economical!!
Congratulations Brandon you have a very nice car now and you are a true man for picking a car with manual gearbox
What a weird mindset
Lool true man for manual so are women that do true men too?
Had to be a manual for the first one 😎
@@brandonkaila7435 what you thinking about for car number 2?
@@182non I've always wanted a Range Rover or just a general big car. So much space 😂
Brandon is DGN family.🤝
5 year finance, 17k? Jeez. Paid £1400 for my Mini and I love it, glad I never financed and got stuck with massive debt like that.
Don't worry Brandon, I was taught in a diesel car and bought my first petrol honda civic, 5 mins on driving, stalled like 3 times and 2 more later on...ah the fun sight of people swearing at me.
It's funny 😂
@@brandonkaila7435 how are you finding driving 2 years later?
Brandon the button behind the handbrake is called autohold. That is a system that holds the brakes for you. You stop the car and it will keep the brakes on, so it acts similarly to the handbrake. You should give it a try, just press the button with the car started and it will activate the system. You can literally take the foot out of the brake for as long as you want and it will keep them applied.
I'll give this a try
Very nice feature to relax at traffic lights... Funny thing is I sometimes hold the brake to keep the muscle memory there in case I'm in a car that doesn't have this😂
Especially since I used to get trolled in that car when my father would turn it off by accident💀
Oh and no reason to stall anymore Brandon!
@@brandonkaila7435 YESS!!! Is usefull!
I have it on my golf!
Hey Pin, what happened with Taz, love to see an update with her too.
I can relate to him, I bought a golf for my first car recently and I have stalled quite a few times on a hill trying to get used to the auto parking brake 😅 definitely improves with practice!
I passed the exam on a car like a brandon, and I bought the first Audi A3 2009 2.0 Turbo 140HP car. Insurance without a black box came out 900f a year I am 25 years old
Aww congratulations brandon ! Your car is beautiful and well deserve!
I passed last july and have an 04 peugeot 206 ! I love my car for a first car but i cant wait to upgrade one day
Passed my test 2 weeks ago, driving around in my own car. But this I could not do now lol, taking my driving instructor out 😂
Congratulations, Brandon! I hope that you're enjoying your new car, keep practicing your driving abilities. All the best!
I got the (older) Ford Focus mk2 for my first car, love it Brandon!
I just passed my test and the ultimate driving course was a huge help. Now looking to get my first car
brruuhh, thats a very nice first car. Congrats man
I recently got my 1st car as well, definitely not even close to as nice as this one.
Just to let you know that the speed limit on the dashboard is scan by windscreen camera so whenever windscreen camera notice a new speed limit sign its appears a sign on the dashboard just to let the driver know about the speed limit. Its a extra features in some cars.
I didn't know that 😯
The vans I drive for work have a similar feature. I work for a major national supermarket chain and they track everything, including your speed. On the computer it tells you the speed limit of the road you’re on, and then pings you if you start speeding over (which can happen on occasion). It also sends that off to Head Office, along with any harsh breaking, fast turns, sharp acceleration to be graded on from A-F. Insurance companies should take a note tbh
@@brandonkaila7435 yeah at least you know now but the thing is don't rely on dashboard speed warning cos sometime windscreen camera miss the sign as well.
I got a Renault Clio 3 5 door for my first car, got it a year ago. It is aa 2006 model and had around 36,500 miles on the clock the day I bought it and It is now currently on 40,200 miles now. Bought it off my next door neighbor for £1,800 and it is big enough.
Honestly that’s such a good deal. It didn’t have that many miles and they were your neighbor so you can trust them as well 😅
I know exactly how your feeling Pin. I sat with my ex- student yesterday who also like Brandon has passed and bought her own car. I kept looking for my pedals aswel.
After I passed my test I got a first car then I drove 380 miles to see my girl friend up country. strongly recommend not doing that but its good to not be scared, get used to driving on your own.
Great video, amazing car, safe driving Bran, well done 🌟
Congratulations on the new car Brandon🥰
That's a really nice car! I want to buy a car like this on finance but as a uni student I don't really have a stable income so I might just get a car for under 2k, use it for like a year or so until I can afford something a bit more expensive.
honestly that's the smartest move. I've scratched the hell out of my micra and I am glad I don't have an expensive car lol. Get something reliable though that won't break down all the time :) I'd avoid financing if possible too.
it’s a first car don’t even be bothered about what it is since even the insurance on a cheap car is still going to be expensive
@@HeccinWinty ooh okay! Thanks for the advice. Just for clarification why would you not recommend financing?
@@shad0w275 I see. That makes sense but I don't want to spend too little on a car only for it to break and then having to spend a lot of money getting it fixed.
@@HeccinWinty cute I have a micra too
Passed today 5 minors your videos really helped thank you
I got a 14 plate Astra (May aswell be 15 plate as it was registered late december) for £2100, 1.6 Diesel and due to the EcoFlex engine it's Tax free. Insurance for the year is about £1300 as a lump sum. It took about 2 weeks of looking at cars to find this so it's definitely doable, just have to give the cars a good check and walk away from any red flags.
Ik im 2 years late but how old are you 1300 for insurance is a dream for me
@@Acryl1ic616 Was 30 at the time mate. Did have a black box for the first year too which massively reduced it.
Letsss goooo Brando congrats!!!!
You two have a really good bond too which helps this series with Brandon. Really enjoyed this episode!
I’ve passed my test but will enjoy watching these videos
Lovely car Brandon, looking forward to seeing your motorway videos, the motorway terrifies me now. I'm with you on that bay parking! I never go shopping on a weekend.
I think same day I passed I pretty much disregarded all the stupid messing around looking round every second parking and that also hate driving with 2 hands on the wheel so that went straight away, it’s pretty much drive however you want once you’ve passed obviously as long as you’re safe !
£430 a month for a car..? Sheesh, couldn't be me, mate. But congrats, its a nice looking car.
It’s a base model too.. it’s nice but yeah it does work out as quite a lot
Plus it’s insurance that’s crazy….
Got my driving test tommorow wish me luck 👍🏼
Just passed my driving test big thanks to you!!
This is the same car that I learn to drive in. It had hill start assist which should help a lot which can be toggled on/off with the button next to the handbrake. Once stopped press the brake further in and a symbol should come up on the dash indicating that the car is being held. Then just get the bite and you’re off.
Thanks for the tips 😁
Insurance seems quite high for a 23 year old 😮 I got insured at 17 (with a black box) on my 1.8 litre Vauxhall Vectra for £1350 a year. The black box will help you get your price down, though. My second year was £880 and my current year of insurance (third year) is £630 and that’s now without a black box. Congratulations on the car, Brandon. 👏🏽 Enjoy driving :) Brandon makes a good point about the P plates. People do generally treat you in a worse way with P plates on than without, which is a shame.
no experience that's why lad
@@chad9711 I pay £62 per month for a fiesta ST as my first car with no blackbox so his does seem really expensive. Probably because he got a brand new car though.
@@chad9711 As another commenter has said, I think it’s definitely got to do with the value of his car and not so much experience because I had little experience as well at 17, but my car was sub £2000, so less risk in terms of repair costs because most accident damage would just write mine off, whereas an insurance company would have to fork out a fair bit to repair a car like Brandon’s. I also just remembered that I put down a pretty substantial voluntary excess, which will have also played a part in my lower premium.
His car is expensive that's why
And based in Wolverhampton i.e large city rather than country??
Passed my test today first time!!!
Been watching this channel for awhile but respect 💯 congrats
Nice car Brandon, my first car is a BMW 130i and i love it. Cheap on insurance, gas and has been reliable so far.
sure it is age check?
@@neatgaminghd764 18, my insurance is $370 a year but i have sold the 130 and got a 2013 BMW M135i as its got more tuning capabilities and is nicer interior.
Puts my first car to Corsa SE to shame, nice car stay safe
Fair play mate happy for him, snazzy car, im also doing my lessons and honestly your videos DGN have helped alot for that thankyou
also mate not sure if you'll see this but do you cover the stourbridge area?
@@PrimalBran no
Yes very smart a nice first car to have so enjoy all your journeys in that
Thanks for all the help in your videos, been a great help watching them- just passed last week! I learnt in a car pretty much exactly the same as this one. I never learnt to use the hand-break as you normally would, so I'm working on that now. Also working on getting the gas before the bite.
Just passed myself in Feb and pick up my Honda Civic 1.5L sport Wednesday cannot wait :)
I passed around 6 years ago and still remember stall. I'd learned in a diesel Mini and bought a 2.0 petrol Golf. Struggled with biting point 😂😂
Nice car happy for him but I could never pay 17k for a fiesta or a focus no matter how new it is. Just not my thing but that’s just my personal opinion, you do you champ!
Good to see Brandon with is new car enjoying his driving respect 💯👍🥊
Really nice car congrats, only thing is with it being a diesel keep an eye on the DPF, if it doesn’t get a good blast out at 70 every now and then it’ll clog up and be an expensive fix.
i got a Toyota yaris t sport for £1700 as my first car :))
Man gave himself a shoutout at the end and qualified himself as a instructor 💀😂
Thank you Pin, passed my test today in the first attempt. Your videos helped a lot!
Congrats 🎉 that great
Thank you Sophia 😃
ahaha this was fun to watch!
Take care Brandon
I brought a BMW 6 Series 2007
3.0 630i Sport 2dr when I passed
My car costed 2500 and with interest around 1100 (on finance 3600 total) hyundai i20 and my insurance is around 1250 per year. Couldn't think of going for an even more expensive car until iv paid my car off. Been driving since October 2021 and had a minor issue with accidentally scratching paint off another car when forward parking in a bay.
Great car, great video n just wanted to say, i just made my purchase for the drivermedics in black (from the USA) n can't wait to get them! 😁👍
As a HGV qualified driver. It's so frustrating watching these guys reverse so slowly and painfully bad lol... But hey' I was the same in my little Micra car way back haha 😜
Electric handbrake the best thing since slice bread! Nice first car well done 👏
Aw I'm so happy for Brandon, keep being a good and safe driver mate :)
Congratulations brandon
The car s lovely . Congrats
My first car was a supercharged Mini Cooper S, I loved that thing.
As soon as I passed I started driving like an absolute donkey. I had a backbox and I got red score for speed almost every month.
Here's me rocking my 05 plate VW Polo 1.2L, Got my test in April, 27th my birthday :)
That is quite the first car. My cousin got a Honda Civic £400.
