Just thought I’d give you some great news I passed my driving test!!!! Watching all of your videos and with the help of my instructor I passed first time with 2 minors! Thank you 😊
I passed first time a couple days ago with only 2 minors! (tips below) Your videos helped me so much and I always used to read the comments and see people like me who were thanking you for helping them so it feels funny to finally be one of those people! I do think passing the test comes down a lot to the examiner on the day especially if you get nervous easily like me because my examiner was so lovely and chatted to me a lot which made me feel more at ease and that made it genuinely not even feel like an exam anymore! But even if your examiner isn’t as nice, as long as you follow what these videos and your instructor has taught you and just focus on that, you’ll be fine. Also for the tell me questions if you get one where you have to talk about a warning light remember what colour the lights are as that threw me off a bit😬 but I managed to guess right haha. Very best of luck to everyone trying to pass!
I was due to have a test on May 4th but lockdown meant may the fourth was not with me 😔. These videos are so helpful. I will get my license this year!! 🤗
😆this comment is brilliant! Sorry to hear about your test though!! If your test was cancelled or rescheduled check out our latest video for all the latest info about whats gonna happen to your test next 😉
Tomorrow’s my exam in Mitcham. Good luck to me. 🤞🙏thanks for your video though 👍🏻 A quick update! I passed with 5 minor faults for the first time 😊My advice is to be confident and familiarise with the road. Keep watching on TH-cam. It’s really helpful. 🤞🙏👍🏻
May be non related to Car Driving License Lesson though but i passed my Mode 2 Motorcycle Driving License today in Mitcham with clean chit by watching these video clips more than 100 times , thank you so much for your contribution.. Cheers mate.. you are the best 👍💪🏽🔝🎉
thanks very helpful.minors hands off the wheel several times,lol u did not go on lombard roundabout they always go on there,also help with the dual carriageway into croydon its 40 with a hard round about.
Thanks June glad you found the video helpful! I think you're confusing mitcham and Croydon test centre. Croydon often uses Lombard roundabour and goes into Croydon! Also your examiner won't be marking how you hold the steering wheel only your control of the steering. I did a video about this on another channel! Hope this helps! 😊
Oh, I didn’t know this was Mitcham’s route. I recognise it well, my sister used to live on one of the roads you passed and i pass there frequently, maybe I’ll try and do my test here when it’s time. 👌
Hah hey Renata I love your messages! I've seen loads too some ok some pretty boring, it's like everyone does mock tests! I've been considering it but I don't just want to do the same stuff everyone else does. I think the videos on the channel so far are pretty unique and I want to keep it that way. If you fancy doing a mock test maybe we can think of something really fun and original to do!
The Driving School TV ‘fun and original’ you say? I am so in! I’m learning on an automatic. I’m assuming by the time I get my license, a handful of your videos will have multiple comments from me 😂🤗
Really helpful video, and fun (slow down for the fox🦊😅 felt so normal for you to see one there). A camera on the pedals would be great! Thanks for the uploads!
There are about 15 different routes they could take from Mitcham so make sure you get on ya bike and have a ride around beforehand! Pay attention to the speed limits around mitcham/beddington lane and practice going around Purley way, especially turning left/right off it. It's pretty busy!
Thank you very much, so helpful 👍, could you please try to make a video about parking on the left without hitting the kerb, your explanation is so good and methodical. The thing is, I hit the kerb in my previous two test attempts while trying to park on the left,, failed!!! it was because of other reasons also like positioning for a right turn, another reason: clearance. Your channel is awesome. All the best.
22:03 If there's something to fix but you just don't know what and it's something small, would that count as a minor fault and some judgement from the examiner? Sometimes a small thing can become a big thing if I just don't get where I went wrong...
No such thing as a stupid question! Motorbikes park opposite the car parking bays, where I started the test route. You'll see exactly where to park your bike as there's always loads of bikes there anyway 😊
Hi Francis :) finding your videos incredibly useful! thanks! I was wondering, is there any way you could share the routes on the videos on a google map link? Also, I've asked you on Instagram but asking here too :) l am looking whether to book again in Morden test center (just failed 😅) or change to Mitcham (I live SW16) …which one do you recommend and why? Thanks 😊!
Hey! it really sucks but you can't set routes like this in googlemaps applemaps or waze. that's why tomtom is the best option the dvsa could come up with. if you do have a tomtom though i could share some gpx files for you to load up!
oh and mitcham might be marginally easier but theyre both very similar in terms of difficulty! i would recommend searching both and taking the first test that you can take in either 😊
@@DrivingSchoolTV I mean, I just saw your Mitcham walkthrough and it seems a holiday compared to Morden 🤣 also, I am so used to go on the 60 bus line or around Mitcham Common this route seemed really familiar… fingers crossed I get one slot soon 🤞🏻
Yes, if you're turning right and the road you're turning into is clear you should enter the box and wait for a gap at your normal point to turn right 😊
Oh good luck!! Id be an awful examiner 😂 they're supposed to keep quiet and let you concentrate and I'd just want to have a chat and let you pass haha. I think that's why people think examiners are moody. Sometimes they are but most of the time they're just letting you focus on your driving!
23:22 is that guy attacking his girlfriend!? Maybe that's why the girls crossed the road like that. Geez!! Some men!! Also.....just realised I commented on this very video yesterday. Revising for my test (who knows when that will be!) lol
Ahh hah nah I remember this they were all school kids messing about. There's a big secondary school on the next road left. Hope your test isn't too far away!! 😊
Hey Mahad not on this one! I can think of a couple of Mitcham routes off the top of my head that do have a dual carriageway on them though. Are you taking your test here?
Exact same route i took on my exam. Thanks, Francis.
You are WELCOME! 🙌
@@DrivingSchoolTV 🙌👍

I just discovered your videos recently, it has given me motivation to restart my driving lessons, thanks very much 😊
May be non related to Car Driving License Lesson though but i passed my Mode 2 Motorcycle Driving License today in Mitcham with clean chit by watching these video clips more than 100 times , thank you so much for your contribution.. Cheers mate.. you are the best 👍💪🏽🔝🎉

28:55 good to see you point the u-turn sign at the end!!! Could get easily missed..
Really helpful :) due to take my test next month! Your face at 22:45 😂 you tried so hard to play it cool.
Haah you know it!! In my head I was like dooooont say it or you'll have to edit it 😂
Oh, I didn’t know this was Mitcham’s route. I recognise it well, my sister used to live on one of the roads you passed and i pass there frequently, maybe I’ll try and do my test here when it’s time. 👌
I wish you was my driving instructor your such a good teacher😪
Thanks! 😃
Got my test on Sunday!
Passed yesterday first time in Mitcham 😃
Nice one! Congrats Tekila! Thats exactly what we like to hear 🙌😀
Very amazing explanations. Great video
Me again(!) your videos are super helpful. Do you do mock test videos. I’ve seen some on TH-cam. I find them so helpful to watch before lessons.

Good luck!! Be confident! Let me know how you get on 💪
The Driving School TV thanks you soso much again I mean it
Hey could you make a individual video on Lombard roundabout? as many find it difficult there
Yeah that's a really hard roundabout! I'll put it on the list 😊
@@DrivingSchoolTV yes please🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Really helpful video, and fun (slow down for the fox🦊😅 felt so normal for you to see one there). A camera on the pedals would be great!
Thanks for the uploads!
Excellent suggestion thank you!
Thanks mate.
Brilliant mate. Thanks
Very helpful many thanks
Hello..I'm Kevin..I'm taking my test in mitcham test centre in april. I am really nervous.searching for a 1 day mock test
Hey Kevin! Are you taking lessons?
Hello I’m Flmawit ...I’m looking for one day mock test too please
Find us on insta @tds.tv send a message and we'll get that set up!
@@DrivingSchoolTV yes..I am.. But I need to take a mock test with u guys.. My test date is on 20th of may.. Kindly get back to me
So helpful! Is there a duel carriageway section if you’re doing your test at Mitcham? Cheers!
There is the Croydon flyover which is a small stretch of dual carriageway. It’s only 30mph though :)
Oh also the road from Croydon fire station to the bp garage, passed the army barracks, is also a dual carriageway at 40mph!
@@DrivingSchoolTV Legend! Thank you!
I'm doing a bike test - but don't think that will make much difference to the route?
There are about 15 different routes they could take from Mitcham so make sure you get on ya bike and have a ride around beforehand! Pay attention to the speed limits around mitcham/beddington lane and practice going around Purley way, especially turning left/right off it. It's pretty busy!

Your channel is awesome. All the best.
Yeah that's a really good topic actually. And i know a lot of people who struggle with it. Thanks for the suggestion!!
Is it better to drive on Mitcham or Morden please? Where should I book
apparently Mitcham is easier
22:03 If there's something to fix but you just don't know what and it's something small, would that count as a minor fault and some judgement from the examiner? Sometimes a small thing can become a big thing if I just don't get where I went wrong...
stupid questions, but where do bikes park there? In the corner where the scooter guy is? I got my test there in 2 days and want to be well prepared.
No such thing as a stupid question! Motorbikes park opposite the car parking bays, where I started the test route. You'll see exactly where to park your bike as there's always loads of bikes there anyway 😊
@@DrivingSchoolTV thanks! passed today with 4 minors. Can finally get off my 125 bike :).
Faaaantastic!!! 🙌👍👌

@@DrivingSchoolTV interesting! Seems like Google maps is missing out on this feature. I might come back to you on the gpx in the future thanks 😊
@@DrivingSchoolTV I mean, I just saw your Mitcham walkthrough and it seems a holiday compared to Morden 🤣 also, I am so used to go on the 60 bus line or around Mitcham Common this route seemed really familiar… fingers crossed I get one slot soon 🤞🏻
@@NurOrtegaMarsalEsNur definitely! It’s incredibly frustrating that you can only go from a to b and not on a roundtrip
If you scrap bottom of your car on a bump, is it a fail?
Hi, do you only enter box if you’re turning right please?
Yes, if you're turning right and the road you're turning into is clear you should enter the box and wait for a gap at your normal point to turn right 😊
I passed at mitcham driving test 😍
Good job Hassan!
@@DrivingSchoolTV thanks francis 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
1:37....the voice of the student haha :)
That's how all students sound, no??
hey, really helpful, could you pls make more videos of other possible Mitcham test routes? :)
Hey Liana yh absolutely! Stay tuned 🙌
Explain about the round about plz
Sure i went through a couple of roundabouts though..which one do you mean and what would you like me to explain?
You failed right in the first right turn out of the center . The care slow down for you and you signed thanks for them .
It was a lorry and they flashed me to go. But interested to hear why you think i failed! 😊
Are you the owner of the test centres ?
No I wish! They'd be so efficient 😆
We're a driving school that covers this test centre and others 😊
The Driving School TV ohhhhh I was hoping I would get you got mine in Morden 25th lol
The Driving School TV you seem to know what your talking about I bet a get a moody person lol
Oh good luck!! Id be an awful examiner 😂 they're supposed to keep quiet and let you concentrate and I'd just want to have a chat and let you pass haha. I think that's why people think examiners are moody. Sometimes they are but most of the time they're just letting you focus on your driving!
The Driving School TV well I’m a load mouth they will defiantly talk with me 😂👌
23:22 is that guy attacking his girlfriend!? Maybe that's why the girls crossed the road like that. Geez!! Some men!! Also.....just realised I commented on this very video yesterday. Revising for my test (who knows when that will be!) lol
Ahh hah nah I remember this they were all school kids messing about. There's a big secondary school on the next road left. Hope your test isn't too far away!! 😊
So there aren’t any dual carriageway on the Mitcham test route
Hey Mahad not on this one! I can think of a couple of Mitcham routes off the top of my head that do have a dual carriageway on them though. Are you taking your test here?
Mitcham central
