    When I was 18, I had the best instructor I could have ever had, his advice to me was "Always be prepared to stop, even if you have the right of way, even if you know for sure it's safe to go, always be prepared to stop." I'm now 28, a busdriver, and I haven't had a single accident thanks to his advice 😊 thank you Tony!

    I had lesson after lesson with an instructur and I felt like a really bad driver and I didnt really want to take anymore lessons. Then the summer came with vacation and my instructur having mc-lessons so I had to take a lesson with another instructor. After one time I learnd so much. She told me what I did wrong, why it was wrong, and what I should do and why. My old one only told me that I did wrong and nothing more. After I changed instructor I really felt like I was learning and it was fun and I had my drivers licens pretty fast beacuse I knew what I had to work on and how.

    I passed my driving test with one minor fault (undue hesitation😄😄😄). My first test didn’t end well even though I took extra lessons and watched a lot of videos. Videos helped a lot❣️, but I believe one of the reasons why my first test didn’t work out was because no one clearly informed me of ALL THE POSSIBLE THINGS THAT COULD CAUSE AN INSTANT FAIL. Many leaners don’t know that the moment any car slows down for you while you’re joining the major road, that’s a fail regardless of how well you observed the mirrors, or that turning too close to the right is an instant fail. My advice: google all the possible scenarios that can lead to a fail and work on avoiding them. That helped me avoid major faults. I am glad to be done with all the lessons and nerve racks.

      Unfortunately, Samji has not started from nowhere, he's started driving on UK roads with very bad habits, we know this because he already knows *how* a vehicle drives for example. I'm glad no accidents happened, but I think he needs to learn a lot about UK roads before attempting to take a test. He should be in a nursery area with a really good instructor.
      I hope he learns soon :)

As soon as you enter the roundabout the slip road on the left must give way to you. The road markings might not say that but going ahead Is the primary route. That slip lane is there prevent the roundabout clogging up.

      I drove on my own for the first time today after getting my license on Friday!!
      And I messed up!!! But you know what? That's okay!!!
      What was supposed to be an easy 3 minute drive down to the shops turned into 3 hours and calling my friend to come rescue me because of a speeding truck who blocked me from my turn lane, leading to me ending up being forced to continue onto a nearby highway and keep driving as I couldn't for the life of me find an exit to take so I could park my car somewhere and reroute my GPS. Yeah, it was terrifying. It was my very first drive on my own and was going so well until the very last minute. And it was also out of my control - in these situations, all you can do is make sure YOU are doing the right thing, keeping the car steady and at a smooth pace. I could've freaked out, made an unsafe move, clung to the "I need to get to the shops now oh no I'm off course *panic*" but I didn't. Yeah, I spent a lot longer outside and was a bit scared, but I did the right thing and drove my car safely and I made it home in one piece eventually.
      My friend came down to find me and sit in the car with me while I just drove around and familiarised myself with the area. It helped calm me a lot and remind me I passed my test for a reason and it's not because I had someone sitting next to me.
      I dropped my friend back at their car, managed to get to the shops, and then drive back to my apartment okay and in one piece, and was a lot more relaxed this time.
      Half of driving is confidence: when you're panicked, you make silly mistakes and forget stuff. Try to keep a clear head and remember all your road rules and manoeuvres. Drive somewhere you know well for your first solo drive and always have someone you can call if you feel like you're going to have a panic attack. I live in a different city from my parents and I got all my practice hours and sat my test in the town they live in, so I wasn't able to follow the last two suggestions and that caused me a bit of chaos. I was lucky my friend was free at the time haha.
      Anyways, one of the worst case scenarios happened to me on my first drive, and I promise you yours will go a lot smoother than mine. You can't control other people, but you can put faith in your own skills and do your best, especially in your early days of solo driving.

  • @Golden_Darkness
    @Golden_Darkness Рік тому

    So, just to clarify, at 10:34 he was in the correct lane on approach, but should have moved into the left lane after the second exit, before leaving the roundabout? Exactly what the car in front of him did.
    In which case that TCHire van was in the incorrect lane on approach, as that lane is only for going left or straight ahead?

  • @itzzayo5515
    @itzzayo5515 Рік тому +3

    Ngl, I think going forward Pin should ask people how many hours they've done before he says they can do a mock test. They should at least have done 15-20 hours.
    There's been a run of dangerous drivers on this channel and it actually scares me watching these videos where these learner drivers really don't know what they're doing. Big difference between making a mistake and not knowing what the fuck you're actually doing.
    It's actually bothering me quite a bit 😴

  • @nFrizz_
    @nFrizz_ Рік тому +2

    At the bilston roundabout the learner couldn't safely exit the left lane due to the van so he took the right lane instead. Should he have just went round again until it was safe to do so, or just accept that he's gone the wrong way and carry on in the right lane?

    • @unconventionalideas5683

      The latter option, accepting you went the wrong way, is the preferred option on UK driving tests.

  • @seanfife7250
    @seanfife7250 Рік тому

    As an American driver is there a necessity to signal during roundabouts in the uk. Here it is genuinely frowned upon due to it confusing those who might be entering the round about also we do use the left lane as a passing lane on a two lane road but you are allowed to stay in it for normal driving purposes it’s always expected that you don’t drive in blind spots and the uk seems a lot more chill with the concept of overtaking especially with cars parallel parked. I’m also surprised that parallel parking takes the people within these cars so long here you will get honked at incessantly if you took that long

    As a learner myself, I have a question. Pin said he should have exited roundabout in left lane and not right. However, the left lane was full of traffic. I assumed (incorrectly) that in this situation you'd exit in right lane and then indicate to move left. What is the correct way to proceed?

    • @colinjava8447
      @colinjava8447 8 місяців тому

      I think if you're already in the right lane then exit in right lane, otherwise stay in the left lane throughout.
