- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 พ.ค. 2024
- A mock driving test with a full licence holder in Great Britain. I explain in detail all the serious faults as the occur during the video.
In 2021 Andrew passed his driving test with 14 minors in Great Britain. Following his test he did very little driving and what driving he did do was mostly in the USA. Around 15 months after getting his licence Andrew contacted me to book a mock test to see if he is still able to pass the driving test in Great Britain.

A lot of people are saying this guy is overconfident, I can tell that he's not. He's nervous as hell, that's why he talks and smiles a lot to cover it.
Autistic
You can be over confident with your skills and still nervous they are separate things.
He is confident in his driving but he does use nervous laughter when he makes a mistake.
eah, my partner and I both have anxiety issues- I clam up and become deathly silent because I worry what people will think if I say the wrong thing, she talks incessantly because she fears how people will percieve silence- and that was a learning experience for us both in realizing that we both have the same thing. She thought I was too relaxed and I thought she was overconfident.
your right, leg shake = nervous
It is very brave to be recorded doing this when I am sure Andrew knew his driving skills were lacking. I give him respect for that also for seeking help with his driving even though legally he doesn't have to.
I agree, like i said in my own comment it takes a lot to do this and respect must be given not only for recording it but as you said recognising he needs some more instruction full merit for that, not sure the clutch would agree mind, shame as the video doesn't display it very well but a kean ear can't ignore the sound of a very hot brital clutch plate
He definitely didn't think it was lacking like 😂, bad drivers think they're the best
He's a youtuber lol, a big one too (IBX toycat)
@keanogames7785 nearly everyone is a bad driver, everyone follows to close, speeds, doesn't go far enough round cyclists the list goes on and on
@@soup8786 I think his driving is way below average, at least to the standard in my country. It's the kind of driver that if spotted, I'll do everything I can to keep my safe distance.
This guy is brave for doing this. Most people seem to be criticising him, as if they're professional drivers. This video has been very educational. The editing is great and the advice is simple and to the point. Thanks for the video!
You don't need to be a professional driver to not be dangerously bad at it.
You act like there's nothing in-between dangerous and professional on the scale of driving ability, they have every right to criticize as he is a fellow driver sharing the same roads. This video is great for people learning to drive though, it shows you exactly what sort of driver you shouldn't be.
@@IVIaskerade No, mostly you just need to not REALISE you're dangerous
@@_Professor_Oak "Professional" isn't on a scale of driving ability. Getting paid just means getting paid. That's all iit means.
Driving is not hard, be aware of everything around you and never forget that most drivers on the road are a danger to themselves and everyone else 😂 I think if someone fails a driving test anymore than 3 times should be banned from operating a motor vehicle 😮
After passing a year ago, I cannot stress enough how important it is to start driving immediately and get those hours behind the wheel under your belt. I got on the motorway on my own from Hertfordshire to Nottingham after about 3 weeks of passing my test. It was disorientating in the beginning with the multiple lanes and keeping an eye on all the cars around me, but you need to be brave. With that drive I learnt the real value of the blind spot check e.g. to look for that car moving into the middle lane from the far right lane when you are trying to move into the middle lane as well from the left lane. Be brave and trust the skills you built up during your lessons. If you dont have the confidence to be brave then all I can say is that there is no rule against taking more lessons after you pass. When you are ready and only you will know when, take charge and get out there. You will soon learn to spot the lunatics and trouble makers.
Any tips on what you learnt about spotting the crazies?
@J G Well, so far, it is erratic lane changers, those who come really close to the back of your car, white vans, people who change lanes without indicating, people with poor lane discipline and finally you just get a sixth sense when you have a 360 degree awareness around your car. Small clues you just instinctively pick up. I can not describe it, but you will get it too once you drive for a few months. You will get what I mean then.
Yes in hindsight this is true. I passed my test in a manual in Nov 2018 and haven't driven since the day I passed and it's now June 2023 and I have an automatic, so I booked refresher lessons recently to get me comfortable back on the road as I don't remember any of the maneouvres 😅 I'm still too anxious to head out on my own without someone next to me with a dual brake!
@@jimmyjonga8048 "and finally you just get a sixth sense when you have a 360 degree awareness around your car. Small clues you just instinctively pick up. I can not describe it, but you will get it too once you drive for a few months. You will get what I mean then."
You're displaying a classic case of overconfidence because you've had a license for just over a year. You don't have a "sixth sense" and nor do you have "360 awareness". Even people who have been driving for decades have neither. You're not some kind of driving god. You're not even an experienced driver yet. Calm down.
For me motor ways are the easiest part of driving would much rather be on one than a crowded narrow road.
Thanks for giving me the opportunity totest myself on UK roads after not driving
on them for so long. Was scary to do so publicly, but it was a great opportunity to see where my driving was lacking and where I
needed to focus on improving.
Not the collaboration we expected but the one we unknowingly needed!
The pleasure was mine Andrew, thank you for allowing me to make a video of your mock test.
Omg.. I thought it was you! The voice and then the face made me think, but when he said Andrew I realised
It's nice that you've done this and the video has been uploaded... There are probably many like you and some who are likely even worse, it makes for a good educational video.
@@hyperbolic_thomas Don't think you know what a furry is
In the thumbnail I thought it was a very young James May doppelganger, but then I saw it was ibxtoycat, what a welcome surprise.
I thought he was ibxtoycat, what a surprise :)
Richard Hammond mock test when?
I also knew it was ibxtoycat and it’s cool seeing him
Lmao james may doppelganger
He is very clearly nervous, his hand actions and leg movement during your into is a huge indicator, saying things like "dont be nervous its ok" will calm the majority of people down a little. he seems like a very likeable chap. I respect that when you make a mistake you will own up to it too, were only human
This chap is showing all the signs of somebody who was taught by Dad rather than an instructor. Respect to him for seeking help as he clearly needs it, I wish more people with his ability felt the same way!
But he's already passed so must've had proper lessons, so should do better.
I HATED driving with my dad in the car before i passed my test. He'd constantly tell me how much i'm doing wrong when it wasn't wrong at all, and even went as far as telling me i needed a new instructor as he was teaching me wrong!
Hes getting rather elderly now, and we're seriously considering taking the car keys off him. He learnt to drive before motorways existed - the roads are not the same thing any more!
@@jameshodgetts7541lol my Grandad got a driving license without any lessons or even having been in a car before. The war office forgot to make their driving passes temporary. Despite that he never had an accident or ticket
“Please come off the clutch!” Had me there lol
I hope he got a new clutch after this.
I can imagine the burning smell lol
I imagine that was the polite version of what you were thinking?
What time was this? I've watched it but missed that part.
@@head_like_an_orange He said is as a voiceover several times throughout the video.
Just wanted to tell everyone that I passed my test today, first time, zero minors. I screwed everything up in the hour before my test and my instructor said he was debating not letting me take his car. The second the test started I just felt at ease and everything was clear. I hope that puts someone at ease, just because ur messing things up before doesn’t mean you’re definitely going to fail.
That's great news! Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
Thats not great to hear from your instructor just before your test. Obviously the mistakes were nerves and saying something like that can just make things worse
A friend of mine got yelled at by her instructor right before her test. It totally ruined her entire confidence and she ended up failing. Glad you passed!
Oh yeah the day before my test I did a mock, failed it and then we practiced parallel parking and everything went bad my instructor said 'lets hope the manoeuvre isnt a parallel park then'. It was and I passed. So from one new driver to another congrats!!
Congrats , but remember zero miners or three means sweet fa in the scheme of things , your journey of learning is just starting ,safe travels
Thanks for pointing out that people get annoyed if you leave 2-3 seconds gap on the motorway. It's very annoying how impatient people behave on the motorway. Let's be honest, most of the people in the 3rd lane are driving well over the speed limit.
I know someone
who does that !
Doesn't bother to get
back into left lane,
because there's a car
say a mile ahead, and
that's classed as
"about-to-overtake"....
🚗🌫️🌫️🌫️💨
🇬🇧🚗🌫️🌫️💨🐒
It's kind of obvious he is a nervous wreck, and even I would be. There's driving without being watched/judged and then there's test conditions, which whether you want to or not will automatically impact your driving skill, whether by over-compensating or under-compensating. Highly educational stuff. Love it.
There's no way all of that is down to nerves. He's a bad driver, simple.
@@kellymorton6001 I wish I could think about the world as black and white as you do.
@@user-ik6gl8ks6o Everybody makes mistakes, it doesn't make them bad people. "Bad driver" implies he doesn't care about the mistakes he makes. Yeah, maybe he messes up more than average, but he was willing to take this test to see if he had gotten worse. He wanted to improve, and he deserves respect for that alone.
Whys he doing it then? And whats there to worry about except crashing the car?
@@colinjava8447 Because he wants to see if he's improved or gotten worse. Because he's an honest person who wants to improve his driving.
Why is that so hard to comprehend?
No way... I've been away travelling for 16 days with minimal TH-cam time, I get home and see this...two completely unrelated TH-camrs I both watch regularly, in the same video! Best crossover!!!
I remember watching Andrew's accident video. Great to see license holders with balls to admit that their driving needs looking at. Too many who think because they managed to pass they know everything.
accident video? where can i see this?

@@Pandapaws1 Agreed
I’ve been driving for around 40 years and consider myself as a reasonably competent driver . However since I’ve been watching this series of videos ( which are great btw). I find there’s always something that I’ve learned or become more aware of even if it is small things. It goes to show no matter how experienced a driver you think you are there’s always more to learn.
I have been driving for 43 years...always learning!
Yes, 54 years (2 accidents, legally not my "fault", city peak hour traffic). 140,000 km in last 10 years on highways, etc. This is a really good reminder. Thanks.
Honestly I'd be terrified if a sign was coming at me at 10mph. Those things are usually completely planted into the earth.
5:41 as a passenger, I hate when people do this. When I'm driving, I never take my eyes off the road to talk to a passenger. Even if the car is stopped, if I look away, the light may change while my car sits there holding up traffic, or I may miss my turn to go at a stop sign, disrupting traffic in multiple directions.
Agreed. Although I'm not much for looking at people even when I'm not driving.
When someone on TH-cam is reviewing a car, they are looking at the camera most of the time. I made a comment on a driving instructor's video as he was waving his right arm and looking to the camera. He made an excuse that he only did it when needing control. I agree that you should not look at a passenger while driving. I explain, that normally you would look at a person to whom you are talking, but not while driving.
Even worse - when passengers try to get you as a driver to engage conversation with them especially at times when maximum focus is needed on the road ahead and surroundings. I wonder how they can actually be drivers themselves.
@@cactusbase3088If it's low traffic on a pretty easy road, I'll be happy to talk. But I've told people multiple times that I need to focus, because there were so many cars on the road and people about. One second of distraction is all it takes to cause an accident.
If I need more concentration at a particular time I just ask them to be quiet.@@cactusbase3088
I have always said that having a driving license doesn’t actually mean that you know how to drive. It’s simply just stating that you passed the required test. Passing a test and knowing how to drive are 2 different things
That's true, you can forget how to drive but keep your licence.
Here in Finland they say that when you pass the driving test and get your license, you can *start* learning to drive on public roads. The license doesn't mean you're good driver, only that you are not so bad that it woudn't be safe enough to let you continue training on public roads at all.
I passed my test in 1989 and haven't driven since 1990...yeah i don't know how to drive heehee
@@ConquerDriving also, you can get a licence and never ever drive or buy a car!! And then only start using it say 10 or 20 years later! Not impossible. 🙂
Plenty of BMW drivers on the road who could use an extra mandatory driving exam
Props to this guy trying to get better, he's taking the logical enough view that hitting a stationary object requires an intervention; I think most people either wouldn't care or would feel too resigned to the situation to take charge of it. (Can't believe the UK still has the lifetime licensing!)
Wish I watched this guy when I was learning. Passed less than 2 months ago, and he's been really helpful for my 'real life' driving
I honestly could smell the clutch from Chelmsford. I’m glad he did this with your advice after, the mirrors are a horror. Brave of you to let your car through this, I think he owes it a service or at least a detail 😅
This is the weird crossover video I never expected to happen! Nice to see Toycat in a different environment. Great video and so surprising. 😅
I dont even watch ibxtoycat, but i instantly went "hey i recognise that guy from some where" and then I was suprised to see how few comment there were mentioning it was him, and felt it was weird it wasnt metioned at the start of the video
dude omg i was doing my head in trying to find out who it was hahah !!!
Andrew is very brave. I think he was trying to hide how nervous he was. This video is brilliant. Thank you.
Your vids are great, i only passed a month ago and I still watch your vids loads, really accessible knowledge.
Passed my test on my 3rd attempt today. Watching your videos made a massive difference. Without this channel I'm pretty sure I would be booking my 4th attempt right now. Thanks mate!
That's great news! Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
yay good job
How many attempts can you have? Where I come from you get only 3 and if you mess up on the 3rd one, you have to take the while course all over again...
@@jankoflak820 You can have as have attempts as you want/can afford in the UK. You can't book another test for a few weeks though. There isn't really a 'course' as such. You need to have passed your theory test first but that only expires after 2 years not after a certain amount of attempts at your practical test. You can take professional driving lessons plus private practice until you feel ready to take the test. You could theoretically book a test with zero driving experience and rock up in your car. You definitely wouldn't pass but they wouldn't know that you had no experience until you started trying to drive.
I think I know someone who took 14 attempts to pass their test!
@@SeanVlismas Well we have a course, that is very similar to education in school. Your teacher goes through all the important laws (like priority, use of signals, etc.). Simultaneusly you go through a practical couse, where you have to have something like 14 classes (45 minute each) behind the wheel.
Then you go take a theory test, where you have 3 attempts to pass. If you fail, you have to go through the whole theory and practical course once more. If you pass your theory, you can take a practical test, where you drive around with the examiner for aprox. 30 minutes. Once again, you have 3 attempts maximum.
I'm subscribed to him, he's one of those people where you can tell even before you've set off that he's a bad driver.
😆
He's not a bad driver AT ALL.
@@ass640 This is a funny joke right?
@@ass640 he clearly was, just got 13 majors
Really@@ass640
My test over 30 years ago lasted about 20 mins but felt like an eternity. There was no conversation between me and the examiner except his instructions. I passed first time which surprised me because I thought I’d failed. It was my reverse park I knew I was gonna hit the kerb so I pulled out and started it again. After that I thought I’d failed I continued driving and on with the test. After the test the examiner said you thought you’d failed after the reverse park didn’t you? I said yes I had he said I could tell because you’re driving was smoother.
This channel, and especially this video, helped me get my UK driving license. I already had an International driving license, but I wanted the UK version too. Just by watching this channel videos, without going to any driving classes, I got my license today. Big thanks to Richard!
I used to watch this guy so much and now he's on a random test video, I'm shocked 😂
I have been looking through the comments trying to find at least one person who knew who he was. Thank you.
who is he?
@@mybawzarerichie Ibxtoycat. He's a minecrafter mostly. But he also has other channels that he talks about other various things on. My children and I mostly watch him for minecraft.
@@Rootropdayfr. I didn’t know how small known he was until I saw this video 😂
I was NOT expecting this collaboration haha
Who is this guy driving? Sorry I don’t know 🤷♀️ I am from Canada 🇨🇦 but see a lot people talking about him in the comments.
@@lavonnealexander6936 ibxtoycat
I'm surprised not many people are pointing it out, i thought i was tripping lmao
Wow. Firstly well done to Andrew for allowing himself to be filmed and exposed to scrutiny. I am surprised that people are allowed up to 15 faults. I feel this is far too many and you can tell that by watching Andrew's driving. It's quite scary as there will be a lot more careless drivers out there.
I am a psv driver of 30 years and just come across your videos. for such a young instructor you are boss fella. you get it keep up the good work ..
I respect him for having the balls to do this and for it to be shown. Looking at the comments, that does need balls. But with my test coming up soon, it's immensely frustrating how much bad driving there is on the roads, no offence to him. I also enjoy his geography videos :)
hes use to it tho, he talks to hunders of thousands of people regally
Passed my test a week ago with two minors. It was all down to watching your videos, practice, practice, practice, and applying what I've picked up. Thank you so much for all your work. I'll continue to watch, even though I now have a full license.
That's great to hear! Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
@@ConquerDriving god bless you sir
sir i become see your videos one after one you are amazing sir and I want to ask you favour please sir please can you make video about how can we drive car with manual transmission in mud road without car turn off or it slips
the matter become very very difficult and embarrassing to me
i asked many people to help me but no answer
i hope you can sir
At the end there you described me perfectly. Passed my test on my first try, but I didn't buy a car and barely drove my mother's as I was spending most of my days indoors studying for exams. Now, almost a year later I'm buying a car and watching these videos again
You are spot on with people following too closely to the car in front. It's aggressive and unnecessary. This is such a terrible problem also here in the US, and as you say, people get annoyed if you leave 'too much' of a gap! If police are going to issue tickets, then I wish they would focus on this issue.
Please keep recording these mock tests they are very helpful Thanks
Best mock test I’ve seen on TH-cam. Very clear explanation of faults as they happen. I wish you were my instructor.
I am happy you help this guy because I was exactly like him in driving. I had 13 faults on my test.
Appreciate that you give respect to your learner. Ive found some driving lesson channels where they use a learner to show failures and have not given credit to the learner for participating in his video
This was quite a scary watch. This guy seems nice but his confidence seemed to vastly outstrip his ability, a very dangerous combination. And every time he was cracking jokes I was internally willing him to pay more attention to what's in front of him. 😳
It's like he was playing "serious fault bingo", and if that was the case he did a great job 😂
I totally agree. At one point I missed the SatNav instruction because he was talking over it. The relatively frequent chatter was down to nerves, but someone really does need to tell him to shut up when driving and concentrate!
@@MarkPMus
I agree but Lets not forget and In his defense..
he has his license and has put him self back under the scrutiny of the instructor and the internet!
Even just having the cameras on can be un-nerving enough!
I did some advanced riding and driving training years after passing and I needed a lot of work.
and still do! But you wouldnt believe the silly things you do when being watched that you probably never do alone!
Lots to learn in this video for all of us,
esp the person driving and being tested in the video.
I appreciate nerves can make you do some daft things in situations like this but he's doing far too many for them not to be a driving trend. Some of these may seem quite minor but they lead to crashes all the time and people not checking their n/s mirrors have injured or killed countless cyclists and now scooterists so not really a minor fault. I'm the first to say that I would pick up faults myself on a test but I have driven over 3 million miles a only scratched one car in my blind spot so I hope that's not just been luck.
He's actually very nervous. You can tell by his breathing and him talking/joking constantly
He's clearly very nervous and not confident at all. His awkward comments, his deep breaths etc.
This mock test was very helpful! I learnt that moving a car from one place to another is not enough to conclude that one can drive. Learning jerk-free, smooth and safe driving is a process !!
I appretiate him being honest about his abilities and willing to learn more.
"No mirrors before signaling"
This is a weird one as in Finland we are specifically instructed to start signaling and then look at the mirrors before starting to switch lanes.
I got specifically marked down for this as I looked first then started signaling.
Signaling, glance and confirmation.
I got my license around a year ago and watching this or thinking about the the still makes me feel sick.
That’s strange. In Sweden we have something called ”Blicken, pilen, filen”, which means that we are required to look into the mirrors before we start signaling.
He doesn't seem very concerned for someone who is a full license holder who is an absolute liability on the road
Cos he has a licence and doesn’t care annoyingly
He doesn't need to be. He passed, it can't be taken away from him, and that's what insurance is for. His mentality is very common. That's why insurance is so expensive.
I did this video (and the accompanying extra learning) solely to learn, rather than do what most people do which is to pretend they don't need to refresh their knowledge ever again lol.
@@toycat I respect you for doing this, but it looks like you were more concerned with talking to Richard and making jokes than focussing on the task at hand. Please put more attention into your driving and what's happening around you.
@@toycat I can see your humour is taken for you not caring by some. Very good mentality to want to try and learn. We arent born driving
Seems like he's going for the bingo card here! Clean sweep of faults!
Fair play to him, he did seem to indicate at the beginning that he wasn't too convinced of his level, so hopefully this will be an indication for him to refresh himself on some of the more serious issues that were picked up here.
Let's take a moment to appreciate how sincere the guy was accepting his fault and keeping the conversation friendly throughout. And to be honest I found his driving quiet safe and responsible. Way to go buddy❤
Apart from the but where he ride his clutch (constantly), broke the speed limit, constantly drove over the lane dividers and nearly hit a lorry? Yeah apart from that, entirely safe and responsible.
thank you so much to your videos i passed my test today with 0 minors and couldnt of done it without your videos!!!
Passed my Test today with 5 minors Thank you Richard for all of the effort you put into your videos and all the help they have been🚗
That's great to hear! Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
I passed in Feb with 5 minors don't think those minors mean your drive wasn't brilliant because alot of the time examiners have to find something to mark you down on. Welcome to the passed but still watching club 👍
how did they let u bring 5 children on board with u during ur test??
@@DragoniaLegendary the boot was pretty big
Oh my gosh....finally you made a mock driving test video. The most important video in driving world. Thank you for your effort dude
There are 4 now if you want to watch the others.
Love these mock videos, so helpful to watch
I love these kind of videos with lots of mistakes, you learn so much faster on what not to do and why 👌
Passed first time today with 2 minors. Watched hours of your videos and they were very helpful. Thank you!
That's fantastic news! Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
Seeing your facial expressions as he comments on his own driving is priceless.
24:09 I love the edit with the arrows here! Great presentation of the explanation!
This style of video was more intriguing than I thought. I'm closing on 50 years old and I took my license when I was 18. However, I recently took the trailer test and I was surprised at some of the things the examiner commented on. So I've been very self conscious of my driving since then and I've thought back on how much of my driving "career" i could've spent becoming a better driver. This channel will help me digest this.
A bonus is that my own kids are at the age when drivers license is a topic. So, it will also help me prepare them when we're practice driving, but also I will have better habits as they're starting to pay more attention to my driving and trying to learn.
Passed my test yesterday with 2 minors 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Thank you Richard for all your videos ! Really helped me alot 👍🏾
That's great news! Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
love these videos.
Just wanted to say thanks, been watching your channel since i started learning in mid November and a passed my test first time 10 days ago, I spent ages watching these videos because you make them entertaining and really helpful.
Going to keep watching them though as I still cant get enough aha
That's great news! Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
You're right. I passed 16 years ago and didn't drive at all. I knew I wasn't safe enough to get straight on the road. I took refresher lessons and feel much better now I drive around normally (I have switched to automatic for my own sanity!). I enjoy watching your videos for further tips and safety!
You can tell that he improved as the test went on, even if all of his fundamentals were still lacking towards the end you could tell that he was starting to pick things up again. It's obviously a case of someone who doesn't have much confidence or time behind the wheel. Both of those are easily fixed with either refresher courses and more time driving. Hopefully he's getting on well with his driving now!
I passed my test on Tuesday! My first test date was cancelled because of the snow in March (?) It was a strike day on Tuesday and I was one of the few that still went out at 8am! Your videos really helped me out, only had 1 fault overall! Good luck to anyone that is taking theirs soon, you're watching the right content.
That's great to hear! Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
A really good vid. Might be worth inviting those that have failed back to see how they've progressed.
I genuinely thanks to Andrew to allow to share this video. We all learn from mistakes!
14:13 is that a bunch of mini roundabouts around a big roundabout??? someone should be in jail for designing the roads in this country
25 minutes in and I have no idea what's going on in the UK when it comes to road design

Passed my test yesterday first time with only 3 minors, your videos were a huge reason for that! Thank you
Well done, I'm sure you are already a better driver than this nugget will ever be.
That's fantastic news! Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
Watching this as someone who as never driven in a country with left-hand traffic is terrifying, especially the roundabouts that are the "wrong" way around.
It feels very unintuitive 😂
I was looking at the pedals & wondered if they also swap the gas & clutch around 🤔
Andrew is living a mock life
Thank you for the video Richard , these are extremely helpful you are amazing at what you do, a true professional :) :)
Thank you for these types of videos, I have my test next week so I'm feeling nervous. However, watching these videos have defiantly given me some useful tips 👍
Good luck!
@@ConquerDriving Thank you 👍
i still remember the things on my test and that was 15 years ago i passed.........things change after you pass but i still remember the things as if im having a mock test, its a great video this and this can improve alot of drivers new and experienced ones
I recognized that face! What an unexpected collaboration 😊 Love this!
today i passed and im from bosnia but your videos and teaching really really helped me a lot thank you!
That's great news! Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
@@ConquerDriving god bless you sir for all your videos
Sir if you can please please make video about how can we move car if there mud on the road and the car manual transmission without tire slipped or car turn off please please please sir i hope you answer me
Great video! Thanks so much for sharing this, would love more mocks with experienced drivers!
I passed my test just over a year ago so probably around the same time so this makes me feel a lot better about my driving 😅
Hopefully you are a lot better than him lol
@@mariemccann5895 I can honestly say I am a lot more skilled but to be fair to him if he's not had much experience driving a manual since he passed I sort of get some of the issues. I'm lucky I had a car to drive sharing with my husband who is already experienced helping me even more become a better driver 😊
@@nataliedebiase5089 The gears were the least of his problems. Dangerous positioning and lack of observation is not excusable. He is unfit to be on the road.
@@mariemccann5895 yeah I see what you mean, the basic routines have been drilled in to me. He definitely needs a couple of refresher lessons, good luck to him x
Interesting discussion at the end about drivers passing and then not practicing for years. That was my situation too. In Ireland you're a novice driver for two years after passing and not allowed to rent a car. Since I don't have friends or family that could put me on their insurance, I basically had to wait two years, then do refresher lessons and then practice in a rented car by myself.
Great video! I’m thrilled that I found your channel :-)
Doesn't matter what country you're in, there's always a risk that Ibxtoycat is driving near you 😂😂😂😂
Can’t believe no one realized it’s him😭
I passed 3 years ago well 3 and a half years ago. I have kept upto date with doing everything right and I still watch mock tests and driving videos til this day. After 3 years I started teaching my wife and got her to the point i thought she ready for test. We booked test for 10 weeks away and then wanted to find a driving instructor for last few weeks to make sure i am rigt and have taught her properly and get rid of any bad habits I may have given her. During the first lesson instructor said she is pretty much perfect and to move up the test.
I would love to do one of your mock tests to make sure my driving is as good as I think it is.
Maybe become an ADI?
I really wasn't ready for toycat to be in one of these videos
This video was some useful insight. Now I understand why I see so many people sitting in the right lane or how some people start switching lanes on me (forcing me to break so they don't swing into my car). People aren't checking their surroundings at all...
I like the way you find new ways of helping us after so many videos that covered pretty much everything possible...but still...I was wondering if you could make a video about, well, let's say car awareness. Having to avoid an obstacle close to the wing mirror is different from escaping one close to the back of the car, for example. Those little things and tricks can be helpful in situations where our brain tends to complicate what's simple. Or maybe you already made one of those I didn't catch. In any way, thank you so much for your work. Sometimes I find myself singing 'only a fool breaks the 3 second rule' on the highway 😊
Thank you. This video may help: th-cam.com/video/tIo8Cv7lY0c/w-d-xo.html
Great video guys, loved it. Think some of the driving errors were nerves, as in mirrors checks got a little better, through out the video, but fair play to Andrew , I'm not sure I'd want my driving analysed on camera lol.. but may have a private lesson to see what my driving is like now
passed my test about a week ago, your videos saved me ngl much luv
That's great to hear! Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
I've been driving over 10 years now and I'd be interested in doing this. I recently passed my motorcycle test with 1 minor across both mod 1 and mod 2 so I'd be really interested to have a go and see what bad habits I've picked up driving.
Two or three things here, one he doesn’t seen to be taking it seriously.Two bearing in mind he was technically on his best behaviour ‘test conditions’ what does he normally do? As a former ADI, I would have told him to definitely get some more tuition. On the plus side it should remind us all that there are some things that we may have slipped on, since taking our tests. Took my test in 1984! Your explanation, was very constructive and you are a star!
By the way I also have an MX5 ND
😀
I feel like his lack of care and overconfidence in his driving skills is through the roof, while he comes off as polite he is way too chatty and relaxed considering the series of serious driving faults that he did not even consider. I can appreciate him coming here because he wants to learn and be a better driver at least.
WUTTTT 🤙🤙🤙🤙
Many months driving in the US I think :)
I don’t get the impression he’s relaxed AT ALL. I can feel his anxiety second hand so strongly it’s uncomfortable to watch.
It's better for him to be relaxed than overly nervous. He definitely is nervous, but he's not so nervous that he's anxious. Anxious driving is bad because it's another thing for your mind to keep track of
What an excellent question at the end. I've been driving for nearly 20 years and I've done thousands of miles a month in dozens of different types of vehicle, and I took my motorcycle test last year (no faults!) but I still think I'd fail a test if I took one. I'd honestly love to try it to find out but don't really have the money to find out.
So glad I've found this channel.
THIS IS EXACTLY what TH-cam should be for
So informative, entertaining, excellently edited.
Subscribed ❤
Yes steveo 😄
The crossover we never knew we needed
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who has what I call my "mock test straight face"...which I have to hold even when they are grinding my clutch. I totally feel your pain Richard!🤣😂👌
Fascinating. I'd be up for this. I passed 20 years ago and I have often wondered if I'd pass nowadays. If you are looking for another victim, give me a shout. I'm in Southend so its not far.
I picked this to watch to get possible hints to help my own test thats coming up. Never expected to see a TH-camr i watch taking the test.
Ps the video is definitely useful.
I love his personality, I thought this video was very entertaining I hope the best for the future of his driving career
I hope it is over!
@@mariemccann5895 haha I don’t think it needs to be over he will improve with the likes of Richard helping him out and hopefully the mock test helped him too
@@frostyslife1729 To be honest he is very immature, naïve and detached from reality. Too much time in his bedroom on a games console living in a fantasy world has stunted his development. I suspect he also has some kind of learning disability that he needs help with. Driving is the last thing he should be doing.
very interesting and well-documented mock test (like the other ones). Driving takes, like everything, practice, practice, practice.
I am from Italy and I'll say that, if on one side, I am amazed by the professionality of the examiners (I suppose they more or less all behave like Richard) and by the impressive accuracy of the evaluation system compared to here; on the other, I actually wonder how this guy could pass such thorough of a test, considering all the minor and serious faults he committed (I don't mean to offend😅)
If you pass and don't drive, then you lose what you have learnt quickly.
Really good video here. Poor driver was nervous to be fair and the advice at the end from the examiner there about new drivers not keeping in touch with their skills just reminds me of how sometimes I can be over confident.
Brilliant video though and lots of refreshing pointers.
PS. Hope that new driver gets it sussed and passes next time round 👍
Stumbled across this. I was driving in the area 1969-1972 shortly after I'd passed my test when it was very different and they had only just introduced the magic roundabouts. Revisited only about 10 months ago and it was great to follow the road out through Wivenhoe and back and the roads via Hyde that I drove around last year. A riveting watch and I'll chase up the others. Not sure if camera misleading, but the clutch foot resting position looks as though it's liable to get caught under the pedal in an emergency and that was drummed into me to keep that clear and ready to pivot without getting trapped.
Really like the style of being calmly helpful and balancing good practice with regulations 👍🏻
Great video Richard! Some butt-clenching moments in there but I hope he is working on his driving.
Seeing someone use their mirrors for positioning to a curb whilst driving forwards is actually terrifying!
Kerb*
@@scottglossop actually, UK spelling is kerb. The USA spelling is curb. Go and read the highway code, and come back and tell me the spelling is "curb"
I passed my test today. It was the first time pass. Your videos are very helpful and guiding. Thank you so much!
That's fantastic news! Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
ibx2cat appearing on this channel is a crossover I did not know we needed!
