  • Just because you’ve not passed your driving test doesn’t make you a failure. In fact, the official pass rate in the UK is just under 50%, which means that more drivers fail their practical test first time than pass. Each year there are over 1.5 million driving tests conducted, so every day there will be hundreds of people kicking themselves over a failed driving test. If you’re one of them, this video will help you to pick yourself up, get back behind the wheel and pass your test next time.

      Waiting for a video on spiral roundabouts please?
      Everytime I go to these roundabouts I make at least two serious faults as I get confused with lights and the lanes.

      @aliborbala I think it's best not to tell anyone when you do your test. The less people know the better it is for you nerves wise. You don't want that pressure of expectation to pass! Keep the hard work up and I'm sure you'll be fine ! ❤

    Passed on my second test, my instructor told me to continue lessons but I dropped them to once a week, outside one major, I only got 4 minors but kicked myself on failing the first time, it was busy, I was behind a bus and I completely missed the line at a train crossing, the most annoying part was the fact I should have known it was there, I had gone down that road 100's of time during lessons.
    My tip and it may be tricky but just try to treat it like it's just another drive and not a test.
    Tell no one or as few as possible, it takes away the expectations and pressure of passing.
    Don't rush it; time isn't an issue, take as long as you want, I was doing lessons for nearly a year before even my first attempt.

  • @LauraLeeX777
    @LauraLeeX777 4 роки тому +9

    I failed my first 2 tests.
    It was absolutely the best thing for me in hindsight. I was able to work on my work ons and stop worrying about things I was doing well, but just lacked confidence at.
    It makes passing all that much better since you feel like you worked just a little bit harder for it ❤️

    Just failed my first test, kicking myself because it was things I’d never had an issue with before. Perhaps a bit of overconfidence at a meeting situation was what caused my examiner to brake, and a bit of speed started creeping in when usually I was fine. It’s okay though, I’m going to learn from my mistakes and hopefully smash it next time!

I am a bit nervous and then stamp on the accelerator so hard to try to go. The other one is I try to park on the left but I forgot to put indicators on. I though there are no cars behind! However I did think I learn some valuable experience from it and I hope I will pass next time!

    It's been a year since I passed my driving test. I failed the first time, but passed the second time with 4 minors. Here's my advice:
    1. Understand that a lot of things can impact the outcome of the test - road conditions, traffic, test route, weather, examiner's judgement. You can't make these things work in your favour, so the best you can do is drive legally and safely.
    2. Try not to make the test a big deal - failing is not pleasant, but you can always retake the test. Being a safe driver is better in the long term than passing as an unsafe driver.
    3. During the test, don't "try not to fail" (you may second guess your decisions instead of driving how you normally would) or assume you've failed (you won't truly know until you get back to the test centre and park up).
    4. Don't tell people you have a test coming up as this adds unnecessary peer-pressure. I also think it's more exciting to tell people you've passed when they least expect it.
    5. Don't spend hours the day before your test revising. You can practice things like manoeuvres an hour before your test and go over the show-me/tell-me questions, but the fundamentals of driving should not be new to you.

    HI ADS.
    I've been taking driving lessons since April of this year. My driving instructor says "I can drive a car no problem, but my awareness isn't there". Now I've cancel my lessons because of this, and it's driving me potty that my awareness isn't up to the standard I want it to be. Would it be possible if you made a video about driving awareness? Explaining what it ACTUALLY is. How it develops. And how it helps you to become a safer and better driver. Please and thank you ADS 🙂

      Sorry to hear that. Keep working on the reasons you failed, and good luck next time. 🤞🏼
