Great tips, one thing I found helpful on test day was to get to outside the test centre and park up 15 mins early. That time gave me opportunity to have a walk round by the car, stretch and get some fresh air. I have fibromyalgia and that stretching time helped me. I was then ready for my test and said to the examiner I’m throwing my anxiety into the boot now (as I was about to set off) He suggested I kicked it across the carpark instead🤣 I still sometimes think how did I pass first time but so proud of myself for doing that!
@@DrivingSchoolTV Thanks, I passed last May and best feeling ever! My instructor was brilliant and very chilled and the examiner was equally as relaxed with a great sense of humour, never thought I’d be on test chatting and joking majority of the time.
I’ve got my test next month. The 11th. I’ve binged watched almost all of your videos. I feel ready but still so nervous. I really hope & pray I pass it. Thanks for your videos by the way. They’ve been so so helpful.
I'll give you a tip:- Magnetic L (&P) Plates, when we're having these lovely hot and sunny days, keep them in the fridge until it's time to go. The heat makes them curl up and they become difficult to keep on the car.
Yesterday i followed a learner and i was well impressed with how they drove saying that they would have failed for not slowing down to 30 fully before the sign. They where smooth on the brakes got up to speed when safe. What impressed me was poisoning . So stayed wide around the corners to give good visibility . It wasn't just stay in the center or the lane but use all of the lane. They where that good i was wondering why they had L plates on. Obviously they would fail for speed but they weren't on test and im sure they have the skill necessary to get the speef down when needed in test
Yeah I was impressed and I felt safe to follow. Techniques like off siding I would not expect a learner to do . One section was a 50 into a roundabout not the most complicated in the world only 2 exits. It has 2 lanes on. Technically you should enter in the right lane. But for smoothness it's actually better to put a right signal and actually enter splitting the lanes . It then makes it a smooth roundabout thier speed would require them to do a block gear change. So they did 50 look to check clear signaled right brake hard but not panic braking change down to 3rd as they went around at 25 so I would guess 3rd in your car. They where what I call driving the road not staring at the speedo. More letting thier eyes dictate when to brake what speed to do . Them they turned off at right right from a major to a minor. Signal timed perfect looked into the road and turned in without cutting the corners . They drove like a full licence holder and not learner.
Hi again Francis had a lesson yesterday and my instructor asked me what i wouod like to do because ive done everything so did roundabouts and was my best yet did them without any help apart from drifting a little to the right and i did tight spaces starting to get close to my driving test
Good one! If you need glasses to drive you shouldn't have driven to the test centre without them but I've definitely seen people not allowed to take the test because of failing the eyesight check
is it a fault if you touch yellow lines when turning into a road or just driving normally? would it be a positioning fault? also great video, really helpful☺
I’ve been practising with my dad and I was wondering if I miss a turning that the examiner tells me to take will I fail. Like if they say ‘take the next left’ and I don’t see it in time to turn and miss it causing me to carry on the the same road?
Do you feel ready to be on your own . Not could I pass my test . Then maybe get a second opinion or go ok om not ready. Also it's not linear one day everything will click . Depending on how far your test is out you can make big strides in as little as 2 weeks provided you can get practice outside of lessons. Ask what areas they feel you are weak at then have a plan to work on them
I have passed on Monday with 4 minors. Best day ever.
Me too! Congratulations 🎉
@@AAshleighT Thank you good man!
congrats, am booked in for mine on the 4th and last week I passed my first mock test with 3 minors!
Keep going @@godfather9253
Congratulations🎉... I passed on Monday too with zero fault.

Hah love it when examiners have a good sense on humour! Congrats Alison!! So pleased that you've passed now 🥳

@@OllieShaw-ls4uq of driving about 25 hours with an instructor and then I drove outside of my lessons
Amazing score well done!!!🥳
Saw you today, ur car is so cool👍
Aah no way haha where?

Awesome!! It's nice to hear good things from full licence holders following learners 😊 it doesn't happen often!

I’m able to do all of the things listed in this video effectively and my instructor agrees. Yet I’ve still failed four tests! 😢
Sorry William, don't give up! You need to have the driving skill but also need a bit of luck on your side as well 😊

Yassss!!! This is awesome news Sharon 😊 i can feel the confidence from all the way over here!
Praying for your success!
@@piotrmontgomerytv7786 thankyou
@@DrivingSchoolTV thankyou so much
My test is in 2 weeks now! Nerve-wracking 😢
Hey George! You got this buddy :) believe in yourself and that's half the battle won!
What's the waiting time for driving text ?
Have a test tomorrow morning
Just in time then 😃 good luck!! Get an early night 😂
Good luck!! x
Good luck!
Good luck mate!
got my test tommorow so nervous
ooh exciting! Get some sleep lol
You need your glasses or contact lenses if you need them to drive. Your eyesight ( reading a number plate) will be checked.
Good one! If you need glasses to drive you shouldn't have driven to the test centre without them but I've definitely seen people not allowed to take the test because of failing the eyesight check
Can I get an appointment with you asap? My test will be on the 01/10/24.
so is mine!!
is it a fault if you touch yellow lines when turning into a road or just driving normally? would it be a positioning fault?
also great video, really helpful☺
Touching yellow lines is not a fault at all, they're still part of the road :)
@@DrivingSchoolTV thank you for the reply! :D
How can I contact you privately for a few questions, thank you
Instagram mainly but anywhere really. I’m easy to find 😊
I’ve been practising with my dad and I was wondering if I miss a turning that the examiner tells me to take will I fail. Like if they say ‘take the next left’ and I don’t see it in time to turn and miss it causing me to carry on the the same road?
You can’t get marked down for going the wrong way. The examiner or satnav will get you back on route 😊
What if you’re driving instructor says you’re not ready?
You could either get a second opinion on your driving or if you agree then postpone your test
