The fault given will depend on the situation - ie who or what is nearby. Since there was no-one else around Ethan got away with a driving fault - but if there was danger nearby we would have given him a serious fault. If the examiner is forced to stop him pulling away in front of a passing car it could even be marked as dangerous! It all depends.
Six point check, mirrors when moving off and blind spot are so important. Also to check your centre mirror and right mirror every single time you are in a new road. That’s part of the basic’s and a lot of people fail on that. It’s always best to train with a professional driving instructor - even if it costs more. You are more likely to pass your driving test that way.
I just passed my driving test today woohoo, and it was because of watching all your videos. Your amazing! Thank You So Much… only had 5 days left on my theory with a first time pass. xx
I taught my friend to drive inside lockdown and he passed first time on his practical test i’m not a qualified driving instructor but I do watch these videos on a weekly basis and when I’m teaching someone to drive I always print off The very same paperwork that driving instructors and driving examiners have on on their clipboards I also purchased clipboards as well and after they passed their driving test I let them keep their driving logs as a reminder if they want to.
Hi, great video and commendable effort from Ethan as well. I have my driving test in 2 weeks and have a few questions about using the handbrake, observations, roundabouts and speed if that’s alright. 1. Do you have to use the handbrake when stopping at a red light? - My instructor tells me it could be considered a fault for control if I don’t. 2. Do you have to use the handbrake at a stop sign? - I didn’t do this in a mock test and it was marked as a serious fault. 3. When changing lanes to exit at a big roundabout, do you need to check your left blind spot or are mirror checks sufficient? 4. If you need to exit at a roundabout but a car is next to you in the left lane, is it ok to exit in the right lane or do you have to go around the roundabout again to exit in the correct lane? 5. Is it true that you fail for not driving at least 40mph in a national speed limit road if the road is clear ahead? - this is something my instructor told me as well. 6. How slow are you allowed to go when approaching and driving around a roundabout? - sometimes I find it easier to slow the car so there is more time to observe, but would I be considered a hazard for going around a roundabout at 10-15mph? Thanks so much!
We have made a whole video about the handbrake, here: ua-cam.com/video/ye2JFWmxXao/v-deo.html Essentially it is up to you to decide when you would find it useful - there are no rules to say when you must use it, except when parking of course! 1: No - although we would recommend it for longer stops. 2: No - just make sure the car stops completely. 3: We would recommend it, in case a car is in your blind spot. 4: Yes - but what if the car doesn't actually leave the roundabout? Some people use the wrong lane at roundabouts, so braking or going round again is probably safer. 5: That depends on how clear and straight the road is. You certainly should try to keep up with the 'flow of traffic' - we try to go within 10mph of the limit whenever it is safe to do so. 6: That depends on how good the visibility is at that junction. The less you can see, the slower you must go. Good luck!
I’ve been teaching my friends and family to drive and they have passed first time every time and I’m not a qualified driving instructor but I have subscribed to your UA-cam channel and I watch your videos several times a week.
I have noticed that not all driving instructors are good at teaching, they must be good at driving, it doesn't mean that they are good at teaching. Teaching is a skill which requires sufficient experiences and knowledge. Some people are naturally talented in teaching but also they need to study to deliver correct information and knowledge. To be honest, my husband is not a driving instructor but has been driving for 30 years and I discovered that he is a good teacher when I learned driving from him as my husband teaches far more better than my instructor. Therefore, I believe what you said, you must be a good teacher even though you are not a qualified driving instructor. Moreover, not all driving instructors are fully qualified, the most of them are a trainee to be fully qualified or teaching people because of lots of driving experiences.
I have my first mock test this Sunday and my real test is at beginning of August and I’m sooooo nervous😩 these videos help me to know what to look out for as in what’s classed as a minor fault etc
I was nerves on my test and did some same mistake “mirror -mirror”😩 and with nervousness I made a stupid mistakes which was very cheap for me 🤣🤣 well now I’m laughing that time I was shocked for one week!!😥
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool moving off, braking, emergency stop, parking. I know it's pretty much the same as manual but would be good to show the controls.
We have already filmed all of those things in a manual car - which is exactly the same as an automatic car if you just ignore the clutch and gear stick! We feel it’s better to film that type of video in a manual so everyone can benefit.
I have a question, I did my test in Bury St Edmunds today unfortunately I failed because of the big Tesco roundabout. I was coming of the a14 and needed to go 4th exit (to go past travelodge and into town) and I immediately thought I needed to be in the 2nd lane but the car next to me was on the left and went 4th exit. Does it matter what lane you need to be when leaving the a14 onto a roundabout? (Hope that made sense tried to explain it how I could)
Sorry to hear that you didn’t pass. It sounds like you were using the correct lane, but perhaps needed to give more room to the car in the other lane. You can see how we would have driven that way in this video: ua-cam.com/video/7cSp5TdC_jM/v-deo.html In theory the other driver shouldn’t use the left lane to turn right - but other drivers often do things like that - which is why we must check our mirrors before changing lanes when we leave the roundabout. Good luck next time. 👍🏼
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool thank you so much for the reply and the video link! Honestly that’s helped me to understand how I can move over to the correct lane safely, I always found that roundabout tricky as I failed both times on that roundabout.
I believe you can pull over to find out where the control for that is, if you are not sure such as demisting the rear windscreen... etc. Although... you do have to do it whilst the vehicle is moving.
If you mean 'gyratory' - according to Wikipedia, "the term gyratory is sometimes used in England when a roundabout is large and has non-standard lane markings or priorities"
I failed my driving test before i even started because the examiner said the picture in my provisional license ain't me. I lost my booking fee, car hiring fee & all those lessons for nothing. Is that even legal. I would report them if i could they're scammers
25:40 This raod has a limit of 20 mph, Ethan is doing a good job of controlling his speed here Ethan: * Going about 25 mph, breaking the speed limit* xD
Why not recommend signaling right when moving of from a parked left position? Yes you mentioned the vehicle behind braking but I was thought you must signal your intentions. To me it is in the handbook also.
I have a question because my test is next week. If you are turning right at a cross road and you do near side to near side but you aren’t meant to can you fail your test ?
This video was very helpful but I have a question. Say you don’t know the 1st question he asked or you don’t know how to turn the dimmed lights on or something similar and decided not to do it because you would rather not crash trying to find it, Would that be a fault??
If you aren’t sure you are allowed to stop and find your car’s light controls etc before driving on. Failure to do as requested will be a fault, but this is normally a driving (or minor) fault unless the distraction causes danger.

Its so hard to get a driving instructor here in Northern Ireland, Enniskillen. I am an experienced driver with an automatic Car. I have 04 more months of driving left on my international licence. Can i book a practical test without Instructor . Looking at these MOCKS i feel confident already
Failing for mirrors is such a silly thing, it’s not difficult just to glance at your mirror before signally just to check it’s safe. I’ve failed 2 driving tests, completed the whole 40 mins on both but have never gotten a minor for mirrors, it’s just something I always do first. It’s engraved into my head.

Also look at mirrors when there is a new speed limit
Yes, and I always forget to check them when slowing down. Doh!
I naturally look in my main mirror every few seconds 🤷♂️ picked up a good habit for once lol
your videos really help new drivers. I am an old driver and yet I can get benefits from your channel. Thanks

I like video Driving good 👍 thanks for sharing 👍👍👍👍
Thankyou for the great video 👍
Please do a mock test and more videos in Automatic
We have already filmed several automatic mock tests - check out our channel. What would you like us to film about automatic cars?
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool moving off, braking, emergency stop, parking. I know it's pretty much the same as manual but would be good to show the controls.

Good luck bro
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool I passed first time 🥳
Never Give Up!
It looks like a real test except the examiner here is so nice
10:32 he is checking your list :))
Put your key in the ignition before you move anywhere? 🤔
Ethan's got a long drive before he reached the end of the bay!

Can you actually pull over to do show me question in test?
No - you must operate the control whilst driving.
I believe you can pull over to find out where the control for that is, if you are not sure such as demisting the rear windscreen... etc. Although... you do have to do it whilst the vehicle is moving.
On you driving licence does it state whether you need glasses or not or if you need them you just wear them
Like do I need to inform them in advance I need glasses or do I just wear them in the test and they don’t say anything
You don’t need to do anything beforehand - when they check your eyesight at the start of the test they will see if you are wearing glasses. 👍🏼
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool do they record you are wearing glasses or ask you your prescription?
And do they put it on your licence or something?
They record ‘01’ on your license, so that you are only allowed to drive with glasses or contact lenses from then on.
@@AdvanceDrivingSchoolis that it - they don’t record prescription or anything?
What is direted roundabout?
If you mean 'gyratory' - according to Wikipedia, "the term gyratory is sometimes used in England when a roundabout is large and has non-standard lane markings or priorities"
Can't we take a U turns in a roundabout?
We can go around the roundabout and exit where we started - if that’s what you mean?
@@AdvanceDrivingSchoolYes, that's what I meant.Thanks a lot.
Just go round it lol
I failed my driving test before i even started because the examiner said the picture in my provisional license ain't me. I lost my booking fee, car hiring fee & all those lessons for nothing. Is that even legal. I would report them if i could they're scammers
Appeal it. How can they do that
Lol did you have spider man in the picture of your provisional licence
Thank you so much for your videos! Passed today and your videos helped calm my nerves and gave me some really useful tips! 🙌🏼
Woooo! Well done! 🚗👌🏼😎
I am practicing in Bury also so this is really helpful as the rest of your videos are.
I passed this morning 😁 these videos definitely helped!
Well done! 🚗😃👌🏼

wow... no excuse if this is the 1st Mock test but he should know how to perform MSM or wonder if anyone teaches him!!
He done driving with no eyes on camera though. Bad acting.
@23:41 it’s interesting to look at the cameraman’s face… u know something interesting has happened. 😂
I think Ethan must have been nervous as he kept forgetting to check blind spots.....
I have a question because my test is next week. If you are turning right at a cross road and you do near side to near side but you aren’t meant to can you fail your test ?
If it causes danger then you will fail your test. If you aren’t sure then wait for the other vehicle to go first 👍🏼

Yes - you can book a test without using a driving instructor. As long as your car is clean and roadworthy it should be suitable. Good luck 👍🏼

I had my test last septermber and I passed with 3 minors and she said I did got at looking at my mirrors in the test
I didn't see @16:29 a fault for turning directly into the right lane because he was merging onto a dual carriageway further down, or am I wrong?
We should always drive in the left lane, unless overtaking or turning right. Blocking the overtaking lane for no reason should be avoided.
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool Thanks for confirming
