I passed my driving test today in Wales! I did auto however I couldn’t find anyone interesting on UA-cam so I followed your videos - You actually made me wanna have a go in the manual !!! I did try once and said never again ! You make it look simple and achievable ! Thanks to you!!! You are very informative and funny at times. You are the best!
I can relate to Keerthi as I also had an attitude where I tried to drive too quickly for my skill, copying the other road users with many years of experience. I was afraid to slow down before junctions as I felt pressured by the cars behind me who wouldn't need to slow down so much. This caused me to fail all my mock tests but thankfully just before my test I had this revelation and accepted it was ok to take my time, and I then passed my test first time.
Many new drivers have this problem, I usually work on it with them from day one as the sooner they learn they need to drive at the speed they can easily handle, the sooner they learn.
Passed last week first time with two minors, your videos have helped me massively as you describe and explain everything in brilliant detail. Good luck too anyone with a test coming up 😃
Just wanted to say thank you immensely to Conquer Driving's videos. Just passed my test first try with 0 faults. I'm absolutely over the moon, these videos have helped immensely!
I was first year in medical school when i first started watching your videos, and now I am a licensed doctor in the Philippines, and still watching your videos, and still in love with you 😂 ❤ thanks though cause now i am starting to look for a driving school to start learning how to drive. 🎉
I have just done my 1st driving lesson ever! Never drove a car before. Halfway through, the instructor asked me if I had actually driven before because im at the level of somebody who has had 10 to 15 hours. The reason I think I got to this level of confidence is because I watch your videos 😊 thanks for making them 😊
I passed my test in August. Your videos helped so much, so honestly I can't thank you enough for making them, explaining everything in detail with graphics and animations and showing common mistakes and explaining WHY they're mistakes. It all really helped me brush up on everything before the test. I passed with only two minors and I'm damn happy to be out driving in my own car! I'll continue to watch your videos for sure as it's always good to keep learning and keep brushing up on these sorts of things. I'm also extremely glad I passed my test first time because I had to go all the way from Canterbury to bloody Bodmin in Cornwall to do my test. Reason being, my parents live nearby and it was the only test centre out of four I could reasonably get to with test cancellations available. And even more glad I passed as my journey down to Cornwall was by train and as usual, everything was delayed. What should have been a six hour trip turned out to be nine and a half hours... So, no more bloody trains for me, I am driving everywhere...!! I took the test in my dad's old 1995 Land Rover Discovery as I couldn't get an instructor's car so I'd imagine the examiner was a bit surprised about someone doing a test in a tank like that, hah. Once again, thanks a lot for the videos. Keep them coming!
Love that you are still making videos... The last couple weeks I've been watching your old vids from 3 years and more to learn how to drive a manual vehicle and they are so helpful.. I currently have an automatic license but am interested in learning manual to get a mini bus.
U are the best driving instrictor.i learned a lot from you.thank you very much for useful videos.i am miles away from you and the only thing ican do is support the channel an wish you health.
Oh Keerthi, you've got it back to front! Fast when Slow is needed and vice versa. You've got the making of a good driver, progressive braking and planning is the key. Richard will help you, good luck with your driving.
For information, from UK Government site on driving with a non GB licence: "Passed your test in European Union or European Economic Area? Driving in Great Britain on a non-GB licence You can drive in Great Britain on your full, valid driving licence. You can exchange your EU licence for a GB licence if you wish to - for example, if you need a GB licence for your job. You do not have to retake your test to do so. Driving over the age of 70 If you were younger than 67 when you became a resident, you can drive on your EU licence until you’re 70. If you were 67 or older when you became a resident, you can drive on your EU licence for 3 years after that point. You can exchange your EU licence for a GB licence when you cannot drive on it anymore. You can drive in Great Britain for only 12 months if you got your EU licence by exchanging your non-EU licence." I think she's younger than 67, however, refresher driving lessons are useful.
Most people can exchange thier EU driving licence to a GB driving licence. If you have applied for a GB provisional driving licence you must surrender your EU licence. As a result you will need to pass the GB practical test if you wish to drive. I don't know why Keerthi applied for a GB provisional driving licence.
My instructor tells me im ready, but then i go on to fail 3 times ! Watched your vides and they're very helpoful Examiners in debrief are voicing that my driving is quite good but i just act daft once and it messes it up ( last 2 exams fail with 1 serious and 2 minors ) Its disappointing that i keep failing when otherwise i drive alright. My 4th test is Tuesday i hope i pass
The best thing in the US is to drive a manual as the ultimate anti-theft device. Many funny videos of car thieves who can't make it out of the parking lot with a "stick shift"
Why did she have to go through a UK driving test? Can't she exchange her Irish driving license for a UK one? Another thing is having driving lessons until one feels comfortable, but legally I don't think you need to do a test in the UK.
Good point, you would have thought she would be able to exchange it Maybe it's something to do with her not driving for 3 years, whether she's doing it just to be comfortable with driving again is another question.
@@LA1898 Yes, and that's why you take driving lessons. That is actually commendable, but I don't see the reason to pass the driving test again. When the driving instructor tells you you drive well, that would be enough for me.
Would you ever do videos on spirited driving, probably not cos being an instructor might conflict with that😭. I know you definitely rag it on the country lanes in the mx5, i just know it
Hi Richard, big fan of your videos they have been making me a more competent driver while I'm learning in a automatic I have my test in dec but still get confused at some roundabouts, do you have any advise to become a better driver at roundabouts and how to make sure your lane discipline is up to standard, cheers.
I don't think the first serious fault at 25:35 should've been one, as the black car hadn't already entered the roundabout and there was plenty of time for Keerthi to clear the roundabout. In fact, I don't see how it would've even been a minor fault. I'm curious to hear Richard's opinion on this.
Totally agree...the black car hadn't entered the roundabout...it was stationary and behind the line..only if it were moving and actually on the roundabout would I give way.
you have to give way to cars on the right whether they are already on the roundabout or not, unless they're a reasonable distance away from the roundabout yet
I think her drive is okay but she'll do better looking to the end of the road because when looking as far ahead as is possible then your drive will be much straiter. Good luck.
Once I pass my theory test, I would love to have done a route like this (I'm based in bromley london) I don't think it's easy, but I wish to do a route even a motorway lesson (I do automatic as it's easier than manual)
25:34 wouldn't the black car have plenty of time/room to go right at the same time if it went around the mini roundabout instead of cutting through it?🤔
The black car was there before us and was waiting to see if we would give way. If they moved before waiting to see what we were doing and went round the roundabout we would have likely been their way.
@@ConquerDriving I don't think Keerthi did anything wrong here. The black car wasn't moving, so she proceeded onto the roundabout in a safe manner. Since she was on the roundabout before the black car had reached its give way line she had priority and the black car had to give way to her. There is a misperception, even among driving instructors, that "give priority to traffic approaching from your right" includes vehicles on junctions to the right that have yet to reach their give way lines. The underlying legislation to the Highway Code says to give way to traffic "circulating on the carriageway of the roundabout".
@@zydol1 There's no misconception. If you entering the junction could impede someone else navigating the junction, don't go. The driver could easily have impeded the black car and should not have emerged.
I disagree with the assessment about the mini roundabout. For me, if someone signalled right there, and I was entering from the exit that she took, I would have to assume they might be u-turning and therefore give way
because it's not an exact straight ahead the rules are fuzzy. The position is close enough to straight ahead that 99% of drivers will assume no signal means straight ahead and right means going back round but the rules of the road are stupid. It's probably subjective to each examiner as well.
You could say that about any right signal on a mini roundabout. In Great Britain usually it's helpful to signal right if your exit is passed 12 O'clock on the sign.
We give way to the right on mini roundabouts, she did not give way to the black car which was from her right. My judgement tells me she wasn't aware she needed to give way to this black car.
How do I measure what the peak torque RPM for my car is? I know this isn’t related to this video, but I recently watched another, older video and I was curious
I had a test today and hearing "I'm pleased to tell you you passed" made today's day one of the best if not the best in my entire life.
congratulations
Well done!
I passed today aswell
That's fantastic news! Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
Well done everyone! And thank you! 😊
35:18 unfortunate wording
lol
said it like he meant it
I had my head in my hands when I was editing the video and I got to that part. Unfortunate wording 😂

Inappropriate use of the horn.
Hi! I had my test today, passed with 0 minors crash course, religiously watched your videos and I think they are fantastic, thank you for your service

@@ConquerDriving I'm genuinely starstruck. You've made my day. Thank you! Kind sir.
A very lovely lady, but why does she have to take a UK driving test when she passed one in Ireland (EU) no doubt when we all had EU licenses?
You only get three years on an eu license apparently.

passed today with 4 minors , thanks for videos. good tips everywhere

Got my test 29 of October.Tanks for your video here a lot I can learn and it’s free!👍
Gl bro
@@pilotwhaleproductions5880 Thanks bro✊
Thanks for all the tips
I did my test today and cleared, I didn't have any driving lessons just your video helped me to clear my test
Great Advice.@25:32.
The Driver of the Black Fiesta ST kept calm.
Informative session and it makes me feel good keep up the good work this guy deserves 😇
35:20 I like to think that you were so stressed out in that moment that this actually happened 😭😭

I passed my test on Friday. Thanks so much for these videos they do help!

One of my daughters lives in Northern Ireland and she says they are some of the worst drivers she has come across.

Do it needs to get a license in UK even if you are a license holder in Ireland?
Am I insane or can you drive in the UK with an Irish licence?
Yes you can
Yeah you can and vice versa.
For 3 years
Maybe she wants to keep her Irish licence rather than exchange it for a UK one?

accidently very early
likewise 😂
Will someone please tell this lady she doesn’t need to retake the driving test in the UK if she has an EU driving license?
The examiners and instructors making their money
If you're able to check you're blind spot then it's not a blind spot.
