My case I feel the comming was too behind and I wait for that .
If you feel you can go better go otherwise slow progression in left & right turn at T junction.
Government should remove this as we should not expect to fast from Lerner as security is more important then slow progression 🙏☘☘
Hi Dane,
passed my test yesterday with 1 grade two faults. This was my 3rd attempt after failing in 1st 2 tests miserably.
Many thanks for your videos, it really helped me to prepare and brush up on all the basics of driving.
Just a tip for all the new drivers who will give test -- if you have issues with mirror checks before signaling -- whenever the tester says something for a turn etc --- As soon as he speaks get your eyes straight to the middle mirror and when he finishes the look for right/left mirror and signal. In this way, you won't lose marks in Signals + observations.
Thanks
Good tip and thanks for sharing, congratulations on your great news.
Must be in Dublin inn letterkenny very hard
How much enough gap in roundabout to enter if car is allready on big roundabout
Let assume you reaction max time 2 second plus 2 second rule .
In second gear max speed 30 km per hours
Then 2 second gap 16.67 meter
4 second gap 33.33 meter gap enough
I found most case behind car never maintain such distance .
25km per hour speed
2 second gap 13.8 meter
4 second gap 27.8 meter
20 km speed
11.11
& 22.22 meter
I hope driving examinor must consider this
50 km
27.79

55.56 meter
The driving Examiner is professional and will judge you on your driving, not your ability to Learn facts and figures.
@@DaneTygheletsdrive
True they are expert but logically all examinor might not together capable to stand infront of me as across Ireland hardly 10 guys can claim they have more logicall capabilities.
I tweet rsa to make officials vedios so we can logically justify but like other countries they failed to answer 🙏☘☘☘
Hi Dane, Thank you for your videos, they were invaluable. I passed my driving test in my first attempt. Keep up the good work and thank's a Million.
Congratulations on your great news 🎉
Your videos helped me immensely leading up to my test. I wasn't able to get any instructor to do a pretest with me so relied on your video's to help me pass. I passed my test first time thanks to these. Super super helpful
That's the beauty of UA-cam 😁 congratulations on your great news.
You LEGEND! Thank you so much for all the amazing videos! I passed my test today first time! I think I’ve got more from these videos than from any instructor I had in the car with me.
I’ll keep coming back to your videos to make sure I keep the driving skill to the safest standard!
Thanks for all the intention and effort you out into this!
Cheers to you!
Thanks for the well wishes, congratulations on your great news, now you have a full European license to show for your troubles.
I just passed my test today, first try. Thank you very much for your very helpful videos. Cheers
Have the test tomorrow, watching a heap of your videos, big help
Let us know how you got on!!
Best of luck with your test 👌
Hi Dane, I started to learn to drive during the pandemic and passed my test on my second try yesterday! Your videos were so invaluable to me. Thanks so much!
Well done!
Congratulations on your successful achievement, well done.
Passed first time today, your video on mindfulness and driving anxiety helped me out a bunch, thanks a million!
That's wonderful news, congratulations on your successful achievement 🎊
Dane, never knew you have such good sense of humor. This is a great relief from the tension of the up coming test.
Laughter is good, best of luck with your test 👍
Hi Dane, thank you so much for your videos! I passed my test 1st try a few hours ago and all I had been watching for the past 2 weeks were your videos. They really, really helped me understand all the theory and become more observant. So thank you again! I do appreciate it!!
That's great news, well done on your success 👏👏👏
@@DaneTygheletsdrive Thank you!
Safe travels
Thanks for sharing all these videos they were so helpful to me preparing for the test. I passed today in Dun Laoghaire Dublin, conditions were bad due to storm Eunice. I watched lots of your videos and they really helped me through the test. I’ve donated to your page and I’ll send my feedback from the test on to you!
Thank you so much for your support Shauna, it's greatly appreciated 😊 well done on passing the test, a superb achievement so congratulations on your full European license 🎉
Thank you for all the time, effort, planning... so much work that goes with each of your videos
Tough at the top but someone's got to be there
I do watch out for the Pedestrian Zones. And I know it's important to drive on the left side of the road. Since that's how it's done in Ireland and the UK. And I know I needed that reminder on Reversing Around The Corner to. And to look over my right shoulder.
Thank you so much. Your videos are so helpful.
I had my driving test this morning and I passed.
It was my first attempt.
I am indeed very grateful.
I will email you my result.
Thank you
That's fantastic news, well done on your success.
Hi Dane, passed my test yesterday in the 1st attempt. Thanks a lot for your videos! I've been driving in another country for +10 years, so I'm not unexperienced, but you're super clear with the Irish rules. Great stuff!!
Congratulations on a great achievement, glad to be able to point you in the right direction.
Hi Dane, Thank you for sharing this video. Actually I keep watching your videos for 2 weeks. That was so helpful. I have my first test in next week! Hopefully I'll pass in the first time 😄 Thanks a million 🙏
Glad to hear that you found the videos useful and informative and best wishes with the driving test.
Hi Dane, Thank you for these videos. I'm waiting for a test date (which could be next year with the rate things are going!). This failure overview is great for people like me who haven't done the test yet. I did my pretest and unfortunately failed however, it was mostly Observation, Gear changing at the light and smaller infractions. I feel more confident that I wont fail my first time because you've made this very approachable and easy to understand. Thanks again and keep it up!
Always remember that this is a journey, not a destination. Best of luck with your test.
Hi Dane, thank you for your videos. I pass my test today at Waterford
Well done on your success 👌
Your videos are extremely helpful, hopefully I pass my test!
Hopefully you can do it, but it's more important for you to evolve into a good safe driver for life, best of luck with your test.
Hi dane just wanted to say thanks your videos help me pass my test today
My pleasure to be part of your journey, congratulations on your great news.
Passed my test with 2 grade twos today, thought I failed when a truck pulled out from a junction right infront of me and had to brake hard..
Many thanks to you Dane! your videos have been a great help and I highly recommend for everyone to subscribe to Dane's channel and watch all his videos.
Congratulations on your great news and thanks for your support.
Hi Dane, just passed today on my second test! Thanks so much for the videos they helped so much!!
Great to hear that, congratulations!
A great thanks for your videos Dane...you are a real hero...I kept watching your videos...I passed my driving test first time... God bless...
That's my job, I want to help learner drivers like you achieve your goals. Well done on your success.
Fantastic stuff as always dane, very detailed and informative
Best wishes
Love the bloopers 😂
Nice to end with a bit of a laugh, life's too short.
Thank you for your videos, taking my test tomorrow!
How'd it go homie?
@@DaneTygheletsdrive Thought I was fairly well equipped to tackle the exam but afterwards I was pleasantly surprised by how much I could improve for next time!
Its been 2 weeks then but thankfully I have ironed out my mistakes for the next exam 😌
I don't think I've ever heard anyone describe an unsuccessful test in such a way but I actually admire your positive response and pragmatic attitude.
Hi Dane another good video I saved it soo I can learn as I go along
Good to see your funny side
Glad you enjoyed the video 👍👍
thanks dane vids helped me with the videos helped me pass
Thanks very much. You are great.
Best wishes
I got a grade 2 for turning in 2nd gear.
Hi Dane, got my test on Thursday have been binge watching all your videos the last week any last minute tips?😅
Take it one road at a time and don't tell the world about your test. Good luck.
Thanks
Hi Dane, bit of a strange question.
Just wondering what the procedure is for clearing the way for an emergency vehicle (ambulance, fire truck, guards). If they are coming from behind, should you slow down and allow them to safely pass you, or should you actively move into an available space (e.g. bus lane on your left) temporarily to give them the clearance they need and merge back in when safe?
Was in this situation recently and heard conflicting views about which of the two were correct (or if they were both wrong). Thanks again for all your videos, they've helped me come a long way in my journey so far!
You should first of all move to the left to allow them to pass safely, if that means temporarily mounting a kerb or going into a bus lane then so be it. Remember it's an emergency so exceptions are made in this case. Watch out for cyclists and pedestrians and make sure you use your mirrors and signals properly when pulling in and out.
@@DaneTygheletsdrive Thanks for the clarification Dane!
Hi Dane, thanks a million for the great videos. Just wondering, the 5 point check for reversing - I have in the habit of looking out my back window more than the left mirror (great), and try to check the R mirror 2-3 times, stopping halfway through the bend to check the blind spot. Is this OK, 1. To stop halfway through and 2. Is it necessary to check over R shoulder as much as done above? Thanks!
Stopping is fine, there's no magic number of right shoulder checks as it depends on the corner and the speed and amount of cars. Try use your best judgement.
Excellent
Not wrong
You are the best
Hi Dane. I enoying your videos. Currently im preparing myself to do driving test cat A on motorbike. Perhaps you know who has videos with explaining how to pass driving test on motorbike?or maybe you are able to uppload some videos/footage of some test routes?
I don't know anything about Motorbikes sorry
Thanks a lot Lots of love from India
Your doing excellent job sir
Please I have sent u my fail test report sheet my instructor gave me only one day per week 1 hour
In limerick,I really need lessons from u

Please let me know grade 2 mark turning left & right progression
Any mark on progress means that you were too slow or hesitant.
I enjoyed it ❤
Me 2
When you move off, do I need hand break always or just the foot break ?
Depends on the situation, no simple answer
What should I do differently when reversing if theres a camera for reversing?
Nothing different, you still check mirrors and over both shoulders.

I think you're needlessly overcomplicating things here. The 2 second rule is a general guide for your own safety and no tester, unless out of their mind, is going to sit with a stopwatch. Regardless of small or big size of the roundabout, just don't enter if there's already a vehicle on it and coming from your right!
@@pragyasingh9591
This rule also not applicable inside round about still your lot of space and find still vehicles hence if gap I enough better enter
Even if there is a lot of space, if you're seeing a vehicle already on the roundabout coming from your right, they have a right of way and you must yield.
@@pragyasingh9591 not true
You do know there's literally a yield road marking just before you enter most roundabouts? Anyway, if you're going for a test, good luck to you! If you've already passed, good luck to anyone coming across your vehicle on a roundabout. 😕
Hi dane, have my driving test Tuesday for the second time and am very nervous, I failed previously on not yielding to traffic coming from the right, and this time even though its only Sunday I'm already feeling extremely anxious for the test, I've took a driving lesson yesterday and he said I should pass if I be confident and remain calm, any tips or advice you can give me would be appreciated
ua-cam.com/video/8gBr3_b59ZA/v-deo.html
Focus on the good aspects of your driving and think how far you have come since you started driving.
Hey I passed today on my second test! Really recommend a hypnosis vid on UA-cam it’s by therapy hypnosis and it’s called pass your driving test or something similar to that anyways! I did it the night before and the morning of and it really helped relax me!! Also rescue remedy! Best of luck 🤞🏼
I've just passed my test this morning!!
@@lostsheep1616 Well done!!!
Congratulations 👍
Hello hello how can I not mention your help I finally passed after so much stress I have only one advice for applicants take your time you don't have to prove anything you need to pass ......thank you ❤️
Good advice, that's great news and congratulations 🎉
@@DaneTygheletsdrive thank you
Stay safe
Hi Dane,
If a stop sign is really far back from a blind junction and there is no stop line, If I stop at the sign I can’t see anything and would have to creep forward about 1.5cars length before being able to see, would I fail if I stop where the line should be instead of stopping at the sign.
If no line then stop at the sign, then creep forward for a better view if required. I don't see why you'd fail for this, it's not as if you are doing anything illegal or dangerous.
Dane like many before me have commented thanking you, I'm yet another. Go raibh míle maith agat le haghaidh an cabhair.
Sam míle fáilte romhat agus comhghairdeas, áthas orm faoi sin.
Hi, in relation to the one at the 4 minutes and 30 seconds mark, must you wait for both lanes to be clear then before moving on to join the major road? If the right hand side lane of the major road is clear but the left hand side one is not clear must you sit and wait anyway? Never knew this, never heard it as a rule before, I wonder why it's a rule!
If you're emerging onto a two lane road you should wait until both lanes are clear, a car from the other lane could easily change lanes.
Hi Dane,
My instructor taught me that the hand signal for telling traffic behind my vehicle that I want to turn right is to stick my arm out the window and have my palm facing downwards. Is that wrong?
It's no big deal, that would be fine.
Hi Dane
Do we check only right blind spot when moving off?
Yes unless you are concerned about something on the other side.
Do you need to indicate when doing the moving off manoeuvre?
Yes
Hi Dane, I have my driving test tomorrow, I was driving today and I went into the box when the light was green it then went red when I was already in the box and no green filter light came on, so I had to brake the red light as I was in other road users way
Was I correct in my actions or could of it been done differently?
Sounds like like you did the right thing, you can't stay stranded in the middle of the junction, always be ready in 1st gear and alert in this situation.
Should you really be looking through your back window most of the time? I'm currently on my 10th lesson, have completed the reverse around the corner numerous times now but by using my mirrors and not looking through my back window at all except for quick checks!
That would then mean that you are doing it wrong, if you are only on your 10th lesson then you still have time to get it right, it's fine to rely on mirrors initially but as you gain more confidence and experience then you need to be looking back more.
@@DaneTygheletsdrive Tried looking back more while practicing over the last few days, definitely helps a lot more. Thanks!
Safer too, best wishes
Hi dane how are things, any idea how long the waiting list is for people who have previously failed there test. Is the 6 week minimum totally accurate?
I don't really know, they don't say, should be around 6 weeks.
Hi Dane i love your videos I recommend them to everyone but Im coming across many instructors who are shouting at their students and literally scaring the living daylights out of them whats your view on this ??
I'm pleased to hear that you find the videos useful and informative and in relation to your question, you should report this to the ADI section of the RSA as this type of behaviour is unacceptable in this day and age. Change instructor too.
@@DaneTygheletsdrive unfortunately the RSA does nothing I would like to know how they pass their check tests
Now you've hit the nail on the head, that is the problem with the check test, anyone can be on their best behaviour for a one hour exam and then revert back to their normal attitude after. The whole check test system is a farce and needs a complete overhaul.
Dane, is it always okay to change gear while turning?
No, not on busy tight corners but I can't really answer your question because it depends on the situation.
hi there! do i put on the left indicator when doing a reverse around a ( left ) corner ? as in do I turn it on and keep it on as I reverse?
You can if you want but it's not really necessary
@@DaneTygheletsdrive oh wow thank you for the quick reply. That is noted!
Best wishes with the driving test
@@DaneTygheletsdrive
I failed today. Maybe I did have a couple of faults but I don't think they earned me a fail.
The tester, himself, was rude from the moment he checked my learner permit and I knew from then on Id be in for the ride of my life.
He gave me 9 grade 2s in regards to reacting to hazards. I looked at all my mirrors during the entire exam and checked blindspots when moving off, changing lanes and turning, be it a right or left turn and when entering an exit off the roundabout.
He didn't let me know where my faults occurred yet said that you know yourself already.
He said I shouldn't off kept putting on the brake when stopping even though I was instructed to put the handbrake on when stopping for more than a couple of seconds.
Not sure how to apply for a driving test now as I got no instruction. Prior to sitting today's test, I booked the exam twice and both were canceled the night before but not because of me.
Will be sorting this all out soon but thank you for your help and quick replies
Sorry to hear that you were not successful on this occasion but hopefully the experience will stand to you in future. The handbrake should not be overused and there's no need to be using every time you stop for over a few seconds because it's good to be ready to go as well. It depends on the situation.
You just apply for the driving test the same way as you applied this time.
Hi Dane, my instructor said you're not supposed to cross your hands while steering and it will result in a fault. I can't find anything in the rules of the road that says this. I tend to cross my hands only when steering really quickly right or left for a 3 point turn. Can you can confirm this is OK or not?
Your instructor is not wrong, I will explain in this video
ua-cam.com/video/_iUJFIyd0qo/v-deo.html
@@DaneTygheletsdrive Thanks Dane. How would crossing your hands be marked on the test do u know?
It would be marked under steering and it depends on how you do it and how often, if its just once or twice don't worry about it, but if you don't do it then you won't get marked.
@@DaneTygheletsdrive Thanks Dane appreciate the help 👍
Good luck
Can you fail if the car you do your test in needs a service?
Possibly but more than likely not.
@@DaneTygheletsdrive would you recommend servicing just in case? Test next week so hve to try get it serviced fast
It's probably a good idea to service it but as long as your car has no warning lights on the dashboard or visible defections then you'll be grand.
Can we still email the results to you for feedback?
Yes you can if you want
Is your email on your website?
I don't have a website, you can email me at danetyghe@gmail.com if you want.
😂😂😂😂
😊
Hi Dane, please what is your email ? I want to forward you a failed result.
Thanks
