Congratulations Regina on passing 1STGO at Penrith!!! Great work. Thanks for supporting my channel. Stay safe :)

Hi Frances best of luck tomorrow :)

I think it should. Give it a go and see how you go. With any car there will be a need to fine tune the steering.

Hi drei in 99.999% cases you can move in sufficiently to see at least a bare minimum view. If in the 0.00001% case the vision obstruction is so bad (and this would be for a right turn) that pushing in to see even the bare minimum would block the intersection then just turn left.

Congratulations Sudip on passing 1STGO!!! Glad i could help. Thanks for watching and stay safe :)

Hi Angelina, you will find that you do not need to open the door i did so for the sake of the camera. You usually can just use your mirrors. However if you want to open the door you need to secure the car first, just handbrake and put in park will do.

Hi Reily i cant really comment on examiners because there are so many variables. They are human after all and have their different takes on things. Each driving test is different in difficulty level also because of the traffic. Some people get an easy run some people get it hard. Its just how it is. Aim to be prepared for the worst case scenarios and this increases the probability of passing.

@@thedrivingtestguynsw8424 sweet! I'll keep that in mind!

Hi Madan the examiners don't mark the single lane roundabouts only the dual (multi) lane ones. I encourage you to still signal out of them. However don't worry about the super small ones. Best of luck this Tuesday. Feel free to ask more questions :)

@@thedrivingtestguynsw8424 Thank you very much for the instant response. I have one more question :). Is there minimum speed limit I can drive during the test? What's the recommended speed? Thanks

@@madaningnam2412 Generally I advise 5kms under the posted limit unless there is a hazard that you will need to slow for. The examiners want you to be within 20kms of the limit. They don't assess this though in 50km residential. But if you are unnecessarily holding traffic up anywhere it will be a fail.

Hi Jimbo, I had my test today on Brookvale, Sydney and I nailed it in first attempt 😀. Thought it would rain but fortunately it didn't. I went through all of your videos multiple times while I was preparing for the test. Keep up with your great contents. Huge thanks 🙏

@@madaningnam2412 Congratulations Madan on passing 1STGO today at Brookvale!!! Glad I could help you out. Thanks for watching and stay safe :)

Hi Elizabeth yes you can use the camera if it is fitted. Just know that they don't mark that park. You will get a fail if you hit another car though.

Hi Fandira stay in D.

G'day G'day, if you are in a single turning lane then yes you can jump directly to the second lane. I call it "lane jumping" just to give it a name coz there is no name for it. Note also that you just use the left signal the whole time, you don't switch to right halfway through the turn. Dual lane roundabouts are a problem because the 2 lanes you are turning left into often have thick divider lines between them and you cant "lane jump" over that line to the second lane without some examiners getting upset. There is a bit more to it all but that's the short answer.

@@thedrivingtestguynsw8424 ok thanks for answering..this was a massive help

@@OmarGee92 No worries glad I could help :) Feel free to ask more questions if you have any :)

Yes you can lower it a bit just before your start the the reverse parking Manoeuvre. Remember to raise it when you have finished.

Hi Ritchelle i dont know about the test in ACT. Thanks for watching :)

No worries :)

Hi Kelly with the parallel park and kerbstop the examiners allow a 10cm off parallel variance before they mark a circle minor errors. That means if your front or rear is angled sideways 10cm or more from parallel.That's actually not much. So if it's noticeably not straight expect a mark down. But this is just one circle error. My advice is just leave it as fixing it up may lead you to score more mark downs if you don't do it properly. Examiners don't mark the position of the 90deg park you do at the end of the test so it doesn't matter there.

@@thedrivingtestguynsw8424 Thank you so much for your help!

Hi Tana there is no real reason you can't open the door to check. Make sure the car is in park and handbrake on. The examiners are not permitted to open the door. They can just judge it by experience.

@@thedrivingtestguynsw8424 but will the examiner mark me down for that? Thanks

@@tanafreedom1278 It will be ok if you secure the car first.

@@thedrivingtestguynsw8424 Sorry Jimbo, I know I have been asking too many questions already, just one one question for today, during the test will they ask me to park between one or two car? ( drive in 45 degree angle parking) Thanks.

Hi Akathadrilla it's not an assessed Manoeuvre conducted during the test. At the end of the test they will pick any vacant bay for you to finish in. This might be between cars or not.

@@thedrivingtestguynsw8424 what if I screw up the parking between cars to end the test 😂 I won’t but like what would happen if I would have to park in between cars to go back to the RTA after the test is over? Just out of curiosity 😂

@@gvonta6577 They don't assess this park. But if you are unable to get roughly in place and need help or the examiner has to stop the car to prevent you hitting something then that will generate a fail item.

Hello Aimee it is really something that you have to practice. After a while you will get to know how much to turn the wheel to get the correct position. Keep working with your supervisor driver.

Hi Sudeep well that's easy. To avoid a red light camera fine you have to stop before it goes red. And to avoid the speed camera fine you have to stay under the speed limit.

@@thedrivingtestguynsw8424 It definitely was a stupid question of me :D But I felt like a got flashed when I speed to switch lane because I had to turn left. Do they consider that or its a straight demerit? I'm afraid of being restricted to drive and I'm not red P

@@serenevision1831 Hi Sudeep the traffic cameras are outside the scope of my expertise. However my understanding is that if you went through the red and it flashed to put it simply.... unfortunately....ur gone.....

Hi Evelyn the amount of steer i do really depends on where you start. As it's easy not to be in an exact same starting position each time your steering will have to adapt to that. Sometimes fast full lock then sometimes not so. The starting position is just a rough guide. It really gets down to practice. Start with the starting position I suggest (ie line up with the line before the car) and then do alot of them. After a while you get familiar with it. To judge centre steer I use a mark on the steering wheel (in my car the word SRS). I know if I am at full left or right lock if I steer back and when SRS passes the bottom the second time I am at centre. Or just simply move the car a bit and see if it moves straight or not.

@@thedrivingtestguynsw8424 Thanks for your speedy replies! I'm going out to practice driving with a friend this afternoon so will hopefully get some forward and reverse end parking practice in.

@@evelyn1805 Yes just get roughly in the start position and move slowly and turn "accordingly". If your car is not turning enough, then steer more, if your car is steering to early then slow down the steering wheel. Trial and error. Just take it slow.

Pretty much you do but you still need to adjust that steering if you are too left or right. That's where practice helps.

Hi Criss it's on the list. I did film it once but it was crap so I have to do it again.

Hi Tomin yes exactly what you say. Check back window and you can refer regularly to your reverse camera. All good.

Your bumper within 1m. You shouldn't be able to see the line.

In NSW they are ok with that. In facts it's a plus coz they can't tell your speed.

Best of luck :)
