Hey guys, I have now added a Free to Access Theory Section to the Ultimate Driving Course and I’ve unlocked the first 10 videos on the Ultimate Driving Course for both Automatic and Manual courses. ultimatedrivingcourse.com
How do you know her instructor hasn’t helped her ??? Do you know some learners refused to listen and move on to new instructor. 2nd they don’t want to take lesson when suggested
Sometimes it's the individual, I think the instructor was fine based on how she acts in this video. Like he's clearly explaining everything and she keeps going 'mhmh', but when he asks her questions she doesn't know. She's not listening
@chickenisindeedmystyle7316 but you can't possibly know that she isn't trying... some students require a different learning technique. Please don't reply to me again.
From the sounds of it, she had a pretty bad instructor. I'd agree with rearranging her test date, and if I was her, I'd also consider requesting a different instructor.
I feel so bad for Priyanka. If she could ever realize that her past instructor was the worst, not teaching her anything.. Let's wish her the best of her luck on her test. EDIT: This was like three months ago and I didn't know this comment turned up to be pretty controversial. So quit it.
To be fair she does agree and pretend to understand and take in information she clearly does not. Notice how often she just nods and says ”yes” and can’t answer correctly on a follow up question right after. She is in way over her head overestimating her level clearly. It is not completely on the instructor tbh
she kept nodding and saying "mm hmm" while you were explaining at the end but then you ask a question and she answers incorrectly, it's clear she isn't paying attention and just agreeing for the sake of it
the backlog of tests is also considerably worsened by people like priyanka booking their tests when they're not even ready, making it harder for people who ARE ready to book a test
Thank you! I need a driving test date for my new job starting in 2 weeks and I can’t find ANY dates for this year. And then Priyanka has hers booked and isn’t ready yet. I really feel like people should only book when they’re at least 80% there.
@@P17RAS that’s a stupid excuse, she had twenty hours on the roads in the uk, she should be used to putting on her seatbelt first thing when she gets in the car. She’s just stupid.
@@P17RAS I'm gonna make a wild prediction she has an Indian instructor who just has not taught her very well... It's fair to call this a waste of time having a driving test if it's not even instinctive to put your seatbelt on
@StrettyHS313 okay great, she probably does or if it could just be her muscle memory kicking in. Let me tell u something nothing is a waste of time, I’m sure u forget to do things when u are under stress
@@shamsahennadesigns6279 being nervous is quite normal. A little stress will prepare you to focus on the drive. My advice is do every thing you can to practice and revise all the maneuvers as well as the tricky roads in your test center. During your test, don't worry about little imperfections of your drive. You never know if it's a driving fault or a serious. Lastly, tell yourself that passing would be grand but failing is fine too. You'll get to try again, better prepared and more hours behind the wheel. Good luck on your test!
This was the perfect example of an instructor teaching somebody to drive, but not teaching them how to be test ready. There is a big difference between the two, and I find it is a constant problem at the moment with many instructors. High lesson prices, multiple hours under the belt but she isn't familiar with what a test environment would look like. Yes she can drive a car, but is it done safely, and following the list of things a test invigilator will be looking for? No. Sweet girl as well, she isn't to blame. It is the instructor who has been taking her money and not shown her what is expected of her for a driving test
I'm from Italy and I passed my test around 2 months ago. I had to change driving schools because on the first one, they teach nothing, not a single maneuver, not the speedway, NOTHING AT ALL. They just took my money, asked me to do the test and failed me (obviously) after changing schools, after 2 weeks of practice with the new instructor I was ready and I passed. Even the examinator asked me "Why did you failed the first one?" so I explain where and why I failed and he said "That school always have the same issue, the instructor was in jail for briving the examinators" so, always go to a school you trust, do your research and if after a couple of weeks you feel stuck, change schools.
ive had 10 hours of driving with an instructor 4 years ago did my first lesson today to refresh and drove to and throughout 3 near by towns the instructor i used said finally someone with a brain lol just need to actually demo maneuvers then i wanna book my test but he said a couple refresher lessons and ill pass no problem.. baffles me that it can take so much money and time for some people
I feel with some people driving comes naturally their ability to learn the skills and situational awareness. Some people are starting from no road or car knowledge at all then booking a test for 6 weeks time and expecting to pass

I’m sorry but her instructor should be ashamed. They’re clearing just taking her money and not even teacher her the basics. The fact she’s never done an emergency stop, or parallel park after 22 hours of lessons is shocking.

Never seen it where there were so many faults in one go that the reverse parallel parking is just marked as "parking fail", insane But man bless her, she really tried 😭
As someone who failed their test last year through nerves, it annoys me to no end that people are booking their practical tests with so few hours. I accept that I failed and I was not ready to pass. After a lengthy break and still being test ready there is a 5 month wait for an exam. I'm slowly getting it closer through cancellations.
One of my favorite channels past few weeks, even though I'm a licensed driver for 12years now. Thank you, Pin, for the content. I love your dry humor :D First thing I consistently see in these mock test videos is learners failing to turn left (mostly, but also in other turns) and then going into the opposite lane, just like she did towards the end. It seems like they don't know the wheel can be turned more than 90°. Her being in 3rd gear (*edit) is not ideal, but it's the lack of turning that gets learners most of the time. Second thing that most get wrong is thinking that the clutch is used to slow down the car before turns and I think it's the fault of instructors. Thirdly, UK roundabouts are frickin' weird :D
I wouldnt have the patience of this gentleman to give clear instructions. Greetings from Norway ! Im a truck driver so im use to a bit bigger and heavier vehicles than this however watching this youtuber has given me new insights and knowledge even though they drive on the wrong side of the road. Oh yea I went there !
Its not her fault, she has a dodgy instructor who probably never taught her that she needs to wear a seatbelt. (Although it should be obvious) Hopefully she has a new instructor by now
Result of poor learning. Probably, her old instructor didn't teach her well. I passed my test in first attempt and it was all because of my instructor. She's a gem.
She needs I’d say maybe about 2 months to build her confidence up in everything abit more. Mirrors are so important. I have done 3 tests and learned to drive for nearly 2 years now and I’ve never went in to traffic from a slip road. I’d imagine that’s scary. But the seatbelt at the beginning is scary haha
She wasn't actually that bad. I'm pretty sure most of her faults were due to the nerves. Also, I bet a lot of people here criticizing her do mistakes when driving but they swear they are perfect drivers.
When you drive you can't let your nerves to take over you, especially if she is test ready in a week. I struggled with panic attacks and been afraid to get back into driving because of that, but I knew I had to so I've come over my fears and now I can't imagine not driving. People like her unfortunately makes me being stressful while I drive as they seem to be unpredictable
Passed my test on 12th Aug with 3 minors at Loughton Driving Test Centre .These videos have been so helpful and informative. Few observations from my test if it help others:- Previous driving experience and preparation :- I have driven for around 18 years in India and took 6 hours of driving class here in UK. Didn't take any mock test before the test but was driving in UK on my international license from past 6 months. The 3 minors were:- 2 were for not driving upto the speed limit. As per the examinor, I should drive upto 28 if there is a limit of 30 and upto 38 if is there is a limit of 40. I was driving at around 23 and 33 for the two speed limits respectively. Third minor was for control while rev parallel parking. I was really happy as for me it came out perfect. When we started the test, the examinor was observing me a lot but got really relaxed after 20 mins or so. At one moment he was literally enjoying the warm breeze. ( It was 35 degree yesterday😁) Best of luck to anyone who's test is coming soon. Thx to the channel for all the help
It's mad ain't it. These people that think they're ready before they are. I dread to think what day 1 in a car on their own would be like if they passed. As that's when you really learn. Saying that I hope she passes when she's ready. Good luck.
I waited til my instructor told me i was ready for my test. I felt like I was at one point, then I had another lesson and boom. Simple errors! lapses in concentration. If you have a good instructor they know best. Not for your money, but for road safety. Luckily I knew my instructor before hand so I know he was getting me road safe!
By her own admission she's only done 20 lessons and given her level, she may have spent the first few lessons on just the VERY BASICS. That's not to exonerate her instructor who may well be doing a very poor job (her lack of assertiveness suggests she isn't being coached very well). Also I dont know about anyone else but I only did the emergency stop in the two lessons I had pre-test.
I feel like she just needs more lessons with a decent instructor like this one. Clearly she isn’t ready but will be one day. Everyone has to learn. Would be good to hear a update on her :)
How has her instructor let her book her test already without having ever sone parallel parking or even an ergency stop?!!! With 1 week to go?! I'm sorry to say that as a driver with 18 years experience (I love watching these videos 🙈) I really don't think she is ready for a test yet 😞 She needs plenty more lessons to practice and build up her knowledge & confidence. Good luck for the future Priyanka!
Good video, yes she should put the test back because as you said Pin, it is not just about passing the test. It is the driving afterwards, which she will need to do all on her own. Great roundabouts
As someone who lives in Germany. WTF are these roads? especially the multiple-lane round abouts have 0 marking?! and in general all the road markings are so bad. it looks like the streets in a 3rd world country.
Some people here saying her instructor didn’t teach her properly or hasn’t help her. How do you all know how many lesson she did ??? She does regular lessons ? Some people think after 10 lessons they can go for their test with out realising how dangerous it could be. Clearly she not test standard she needs to focus on regular lessons and stick with her instructor teaching. They quickly switch on to another instructor rather then focusing on their own learning.
This is a new record for the channel, surely? Her instructor must be absolutely terrible telling her to book her test 😮💨 they've basically been scamming money off her.
I’m sorry but her instructor should be ashamed. They’re clearly just taking her money and not even teacher her the basics. The fact she’s never done an emergency stop, or parallel park after 22 hours of lessons is shocking. In my opinion they know she’s going to fail and so she’ll keep returning to them for more lessons and they’ll continue to not teach her what she needs to know. Bless her she doesn’t stand a chance with her current instructor, so I really hope they either step up or she finds a new instructor! She’s got the very basic bits down, so I don’t think it will take her long with a good instructor. Also she was doing ok until the first major mistake and I think that affected her and her confidence went down then. Also the seatbelt thing I think was nerves.
I feel that in her situation it is her instructors fault, she still drives like she has only had 10-15 hours of lessons, also the fact that she hasn't done proper parking is scary and her instructor needs to be told off lol
One thing ill never understand with some learners is why they build speed so damn slow. I understand the initial moving off using a clutch is harder, but going from 15->50 is not difficult at all, and its just fun. Why they barely touch the throttle or go way overgeared is beyond me
I’ve been driving for 8 years and I still watch these to make sure I’m not sticking my bad habits. However, SOOOOOO many drivers nowadays are not indicating. Everyday I experience around 10 drivers switching lanes with no indication. Be safe out there guys. Not everyone who has a license knows how to actually drive 😂
18:48 It will have been a serious fault for that emergency stop! Advice: Brake Harshly / Quickly not firmly and always check both blindspots before moving off!
before hearing the feedback of this, your right to say to change the test date but if she goes ahead with it she needs to get her nerves under control i believe alot of that is from been to nervous making silly mistakes to not turn the obvious indicator off says to me shes very nervous and this is only a mock test. she definitely needs more lessons before going for her test!
You can move on in 2nd or 3rd in most cars, aslong as you hold the clutch at the biting point for longer as you add gas. It is harder though. Some cars even allow you to move off in 4th
I don't think you should have told her that she failed so early on since it probably lowered her confidence for the rest of the test. It should be like a real test where you're told the result at the end.
But the thing is though that the examiner would terminate the test if she didn't wear it. Probably wouldn't even let her leave the test centre car park
14:38 - why is a lack of signal here marked as a minor fault? I personally don't see the point in signalling if there is nobody (pedestrian or vehicle) around and often don't. She's definitely not ready. Would I feel secure being within 20 metres of a driver like this on the road? Not particularly. There was a lack of assertiveness and general concentration here which seems like a reliance on an instructor (who probably isn't doing their job to a good enough degree).
Because signaling before a turn is still legally required even if there's no one around so Idk why you think an actual road test examiner would let it slide.
Instructor needs to be jailed asap. Its too easy for instructors to get their course they need to go through rigorous training like school teachers because at the moment they are doing it only for the money.

She needs more lessons
As someone who failed their test last year through nerves, it annoys me to no end that people are booking their practical tests with so few hours.
I accept that I failed and I was not ready to pass. After a lengthy break and still being test ready there is a 5 month wait for an exam. I'm slowly getting it closer through cancellations.
i hate how she has chewing gum in her mouth while he is explaining so disrespectful
I chew gum during driving practical classes to deal with nervousness. That could be why she was doing it.
One of my favorite channels past few weeks, even though I'm a licensed driver for 12years now. Thank you, Pin, for the content. I love your dry humor :D
First thing I consistently see in these mock test videos is learners failing to turn left (mostly, but also in other turns) and then going into the opposite lane, just like she did towards the end. It seems like they don't know the wheel can be turned more than 90°. Her being in 3rd gear (*edit) is not ideal, but it's the lack of turning that gets learners most of the time.
Second thing that most get wrong is thinking that the clutch is used to slow down the car before turns and I think it's the fault of instructors.
Thirdly, UK roundabouts are frickin' weird :D
I wouldnt have the patience of this gentleman to give clear instructions. Greetings from Norway ! Im a truck driver so im use to a bit bigger and heavier vehicles than this however watching this youtuber has given me new insights and knowledge even though they drive on the wrong side of the road. Oh yea I went there !
how can you forget your seatbelt. get her a bus pass asap
Its not her fault, she has a dodgy instructor who probably never taught her that she needs to wear a seatbelt. (Although it should be obvious) Hopefully she has a new instructor by now
@@David_Trowbridge she should know by common sense 😂
@@David_Trowbridgeit's common sense
20 hours and she hasn't done parrallel parking?
Result of poor learning. Probably, her old instructor didn't teach her well. I passed my test in first attempt and it was all because of my instructor. She's a gem.
100%
She needs I’d say maybe about 2 months to build her confidence up in everything abit more. Mirrors are so important. I have done 3 tests and learned to drive for nearly 2 years now and I’ve never went in to traffic from a slip road. I’d imagine that’s scary. But the seatbelt at the beginning is scary haha
Idk why but the way she chews pissed me off more than it should
She wasn't actually that bad. I'm pretty sure most of her faults were due to the nerves. Also, I bet a lot of people here criticizing her do mistakes when driving but they swear they are perfect drivers.
literally
Not that bad, are you serious?
When you drive you can't let your nerves to take over you, especially if she is test ready in a week. I struggled with panic attacks and been afraid to get back into driving because of that, but I knew I had to so I've come over my fears and now I can't imagine not driving. People like her unfortunately makes me being stressful while I drive as they seem to be unpredictable
She won't see this bro
Definitely! Just keep practicing and improving! 😊
Passed my test on 12th Aug with 3 minors at Loughton Driving Test Centre .These videos have been so helpful and informative. Few observations from my test if it help others:-
Previous driving experience and preparation :- I have driven for around 18 years in India and took 6 hours of driving class here in UK. Didn't take any mock test before the test but was driving in UK on my international license from past 6 months.
The 3 minors were:-
2 were for not driving upto the speed limit. As per the examinor, I should drive upto 28 if there is a limit of 30 and upto 38 if is there is a limit of 40. I was driving at around 23 and 33 for the two speed limits respectively.
Third minor was for control while rev parallel parking. I was really happy as for me it came out perfect.
When we started the test, the examinor was observing me a lot but got really relaxed after 20 mins or so. At one moment he was literally enjoying the warm breeze. ( It was 35 degree yesterday😁)
Best of luck to anyone who's test is coming soon.
Thx to the channel for all the help
It's mad ain't it. These people that think they're ready before they are. I dread to think what day 1 in a car on their own would be like if they passed. As that's when you really learn.
Saying that I hope she passes when she's ready. Good luck.
I waited til my instructor told me i was ready for my test. I felt like I was at one point, then I had another lesson and boom. Simple errors! lapses in concentration. If you have a good instructor they know best. Not for your money, but for road safety. Luckily I knew my instructor before hand so I know he was getting me road safe!
Never done an emergency stop or reverse parking? She needs a new instructor
By her own admission she's only done 20 lessons and given her level, she may have spent the first few lessons on just the VERY BASICS. That's not to exonerate her instructor who may well be doing a very poor job (her lack of assertiveness suggests she isn't being coached very well). Also I dont know about anyone else but I only did the emergency stop in the two lessons I had pre-test.
I feel like she just needs more lessons with a decent instructor like this one. Clearly she isn’t ready but will be one day. Everyone has to learn. Would be good to hear a update on her :)
She passed the test 🥰
How has her instructor let her book her test already without having ever sone parallel parking or even an ergency stop?!!! With 1 week to go?!
I'm sorry to say that as a driver with 18 years experience (I love watching these videos 🙈) I really don't think she is ready for a test yet 😞 She needs plenty more lessons to practice and build up her knowledge & confidence.
Good luck for the future Priyanka!
Parallel park is shocking but emergency stop TBF I learnt the day of my test 🤣 it's not that difficult a manoeuvre tbh
@@uchihasilver8362yh I learnt the emergency stop the day before my test. Parallel parking should’ve been taught many lessons ago
@@uchihasilver8362 true but its something you should do at least once or twice!
@@uchihasilver8362 exactly, my instructor only did two emergency stop practices with me and they were in the two lessons prior to the test.
The driving instructor must have been her friend as there is no way they are letting you drive their car without knowing the basics
She is not ready for the test with that many serious faults
She can take the official test if shes wishes to, but she'll 100% fail. DGN out there low key saving lives fr.
I passed my test first time yesterday after doing 1 mock test and failing 😂 great to watch these without the anxiety
learned alot from ur videos struggling to get licence as of now but ur channel is awsome
Some learning instructors are scammers which I think she ended up with one such one prior to this mock test
Yup that's what I've been thinking also
Good video, yes she should put the test back because as you said Pin, it is not just about passing the test. It is the driving afterwards, which she will need to do all on her own. Great roundabouts
by far this instructor is patient , i have seen many popular instructor vloggers who loose their cool in real life !
She needs to stop munching gum. It's a wrong myth that it helps concentration. It's the opposite. It diverts concentration.
As someone who lives in Germany. WTF are these roads? especially the multiple-lane round abouts have 0 marking?! and in general all the road markings are so bad. it looks like the streets in a 3rd world country.
Drivers tend to be better. U need lanes to tell u everything?
I failed my first test in 1988 because I drove over a tiny mini roundabout
Some people here saying her instructor didn’t teach her properly or hasn’t help her. How do you all know how many lesson she did ??? She does regular lessons ? Some people think after 10 lessons they can go for their test with out realising how dangerous it could be. Clearly she not test standard she needs to focus on regular lessons and stick with her instructor teaching. They quickly switch on to another instructor rather then focusing on their own learning.
if i had a penny for every time she said "mhmm" at the end of the video!!!
Like is she even listening or just "hearing"? Is she actually paying attention and taking the information Pin is giving in?
Absolutely, your talking to someone and it's annoying because it's like they're not listening to you, I'm sure she was taking in the feedback though
Any problem?
Exactly, lol.😂😂😂
@JamalBradley-yd7smyes many
This is a new record for the channel, surely?
Her instructor must be absolutely terrible telling her to book her test 😮💨 they've basically been scamming money off her.
I’m sorry but her instructor should be ashamed. They’re clearly just taking her money and not even teacher her the basics. The fact she’s never done an emergency stop, or parallel park after 22 hours of lessons is shocking.
In my opinion they know she’s going to fail and so she’ll keep returning to them for more lessons and they’ll continue to not teach her what she needs to know.
Bless her she doesn’t stand a chance with her current instructor, so I really hope they either step up or she finds a new instructor!
She’s got the very basic bits down, so I don’t think it will take her long with a good instructor.
Also she was doing ok until the first major mistake and I think that affected her and her confidence went down then. Also the seatbelt thing I think was nerves.
I feel that in her situation it is her instructors fault, she still drives like she has only had 10-15 hours of lessons, also the fact that she hasn't done proper parking is scary and her instructor needs to be told off lol
One thing ill never understand with some learners is why they build speed so damn slow. I understand the initial moving off using a clutch is harder, but going from 15->50 is not difficult at all, and its just fun. Why they barely touch the throttle or go way overgeared is beyond me
the fact she forgot her seatbelt says it all
I’ve been driving for 8 years and I still watch these to make sure I’m not sticking my bad habits. However, SOOOOOO many drivers nowadays are not indicating. Everyday I experience around 10 drivers switching lanes with no indication. Be safe out there guys. Not everyone who has a license knows how to actually drive 😂
18:48 It will have been a serious fault for that emergency stop! Advice: Brake Harshly / Quickly not firmly and always check both blindspots before moving off!
before hearing the feedback of this, your right to say to change the test date but if she goes ahead with it she needs to get her nerves under control i believe alot of that is from been to nervous making silly mistakes to not turn the obvious indicator off says to me shes very nervous and this is only a mock test. she definitely needs more lessons before going for her test!
Her instructor must be awful
If you stop with the gum maybe you can speak…
If was a driving instructor they're would be a rule: no gum.
I used to chew gum during my lessons it helped me concentrate 🤷🏻♀️
I don't think she had a clue what you were saying when you were going over her faults, sounded more she was laughing
18:39 how didn't she stall there? She moved off in 4th? Or is that 2nd?
You can move on in 2nd or 3rd in most cars, aslong as you hold the clutch at the biting point for longer as you add gas. It is harder though. Some cars even allow you to move off in 4th
Keep going,don't lose heart.
She was nervous, so the seatbelt thing I understand. She did quite well, just needs to practise & confidence. He did a good job teaching her.
I don't think you should have told her that she failed so early on since it probably lowered her confidence for the rest of the test. It should be like a real test where you're told the result at the end.
But the thing is though that the examiner would terminate the test if she didn't wear it. Probably wouldn't even let her leave the test centre car park
@@ksspqf9 No, they would tell the student to put their seatbelt on and then tell them they'd failed at the end of the test.
@@SirCumference31 yes but they can also choose to just not do the test as well
@@ksspqf9 That is very unlikely for not wearing a seatbelt - I've never heard of any examiner doing that.
14:38 - why is a lack of signal here marked as a minor fault? I personally don't see the point in signalling if there is nobody (pedestrian or vehicle) around and often don't.
She's definitely not ready. Would I feel secure being within 20 metres of a driver like this on the road? Not particularly. There was a lack of assertiveness and general concentration here which seems like a reliance on an instructor (who probably isn't doing their job to a good enough degree).
Because signaling before a turn is still legally required even if there's no one around so Idk why you think an actual road test examiner would let it slide.
Why tf does she keep making that sound. MHM MHM MHM
😂😂😂same thing I was gonna say
Mhm, is just a way of saying she agrees, I think there may have been some zoning out, also which lead to a lack of concentration
probably nerves
She had too many lessons with family members who are also crap drivers but thinking they can teach????!!!!! Glad Priyanka got your advice!!!!x
she might be better off in an automatic tbh
I passed my test today. But can’t stop watching this…. Help
Instructor needs to be jailed asap. Its too easy for instructors to get their course they need to go through rigorous training like school teachers because at the moment they are doing it only for the money.
So glad I passed my test first time, and don’t have to worry about finding tests with people like this having a test booked
She most definitely does driving lesson with a family member. 20h and still don’t know the basics.
She drives too far to the right i drive to the left too close to it and failed for that😢
