Advice on driving test nerves 

I had my test this morning, followed your good advice, and I passed. Thank you.

I find telling myself I'm excited rather than 'I'm nervous really helped. If I'm anxious, I see unknowns as threats, if I'm excited, I see unknowns as opportunities. It REALLY helped

It doesnt help that my instructor gets irritated for no reason

I can't eat when I'm nervous otherwise I'll feel sick haha

watching these videos as I get extremely nervous on my test, I always drive very well in my lessons but mess up on my test as I get so nervous! 5th time lucky tomorrow hopefully!

Oh god my test is in 30 minutes, im so nervous. Hope this helps Update: YES I PASSED, THANK YOU SO MUCH Travis, your tips were very helpful, I remained calm the whole way through.

i have my test tomorrow and i KNOW i'm a good driver, i'm cautious and observant of everything around me. however, i get so nervous on every test i take, this will be my first time taking the drivers test tomorrow though and i'm so scared my anxiety will get the best of me

My driving test is tomorrow morning. I'm so nervous. I keep crying. Thank you for the video.

For the guys who are going for test: I HAVE FAILED TWO TIMES, and I was fed up I almost give up to go for test cause I thought I’m good driver especially when u have driving experience. But the truth it’s not about assessors or luck. JUST LEARN THE RULES FOLLOW THE RULES AND MOST IMPORTANTLY PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE, I have pumped the fuels more than two times and I showed 3rd time with me car after I got too many practice. And now successfully passed. My advice to the guys who are going to do exam. 1. Never ever Panic or Hesitate 2. Believe that your best driver in the wold and you are going to teach how to drive to assessors 3. Never ever speed up 4. Never ever competitive with experience driver 5. Just follow the rules 6. Don’t care about other drivers just be calm and slow and drive 7. PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE My best wishes to the guys who are going to do the exam. Remember if you fail never give up if pass never forget the mistakes that you have done . All the very best, I’m pretty sure that you will pass the test, all the success will come to you Practice well. God Bless You always. Driver safe!

I failed my first test because of nervousness, got 4 serious, 1 overtaking a cyclist too close, 2 stopping on meeting,3 right side lane change,4 roundabout taking left from middle ( not using the cyclist lane basically) booked again for 13 June... I was tooo much nervous and my examinar was a really strict and rude guy,,, wish me luck

Got my test tomorrow, nerves are kicking in a bit now 😅

I just wanted to say thanks. I've passed my driving test today. first time with 1 minor. your videos have helped me loads while I've been learning to drive

4th time, but this time I watched your videos first. I passed. Thank you thank you thank you James. Thank you to the examiner as well, and thank you to my instructor who was so patient with me. Neve3r give up hope folks. If I can pass, anybody can.

Got my driving test tomorrow, already failed it once, pretty nerve racked! Thanks for the video mate.

Thanks so much man, binge watched all your videos before my test and passed first try!! Recommended to my friends, already sharing their love for you

I had my test today and I passed! Thank you so much for the tips I literally watched this video the night before and it really helped a lot

Got my driving test in 2 hours and I'm feeling the nerves now 😫

I failed today, within the first 10 minutes, 2 serious faults getting to close to parked cars on the left. I was a bag of nerves. I have done numerous lessons and mocks without a single minor. The instructor when I asked him to repeat his direction snapped "can't you understand what I'm saying?" it threw me off, I already told him I was feeling nervous. It's my own fault. I watched this video last night and felt calm. Sometimes it just doesn't go your way. 2nd test booked and lessons for next week booked. To anyone reading this, relax, you will be your own worst enemy, you know you can drive, trust yourself, drive safe. God bless.

I’ve joined the binge watching gang, tests tomorrow at 10:24. let’s do this!

Subscribing helps me make more videos, thank you 🔴Buy me a coffee ☕️ Ko-fi.com/learn2drive

Passed my test this afternoon! First time with only 2 minors. So pleased and these tips really helped! Good luck to everyone else for your tests😁you’ll be fine!

I have never been so excited to post on RU-vid! I passed my exam this time round!! I’m so relieved 😅Thank you for all the advice and tips!

This video could not have been any better timed! Driving test is extremely soon and I've been binge watching all your videos I love them all so helpful. Thank you so much for taking the time to make great content!

hi James just passed my test today first time thanks to your absolutely fantastic videos on how to keep your nerve and relax so just wanted to say a major thankyou

I have my driving test next week. Will be binge watching your videos until the day comes!!

Passed my driving test today first time with 4 minors! Thank you very much for all your help through your videos!

Passed my driving test first time this morning with 3 minors. Thank you so much for your videos. They helped me so much!

I wish you were my driving instructor, you're so calm and nice

Thanks for the advice pal

My test is in a little over a week. So so scared. I hope my examiner is kind and understands my nerves. Thank you for making this!

James, I just wanted to thank you for the calm and level-headed advice. In the run -up to my driving test I was watching your drive test advice and I found it invaluable! Tuition from my fantastic driving instructor combined with your advice which I used prior and during the test resulted in a pass at the first attempt! Thanks a million!!!

Good advice as always.

The tip about keeping routine really helped me. I made a list of other things I needed to do that day and the driving test just looked like another box to tick instead of impending doom. Thanks.

I have severe anxiety, I watched this this morning and passed finally! No panic attack and I was on test for nearly an hour due to a road accident! You’re a miracle worker haha

So basically, eat/water, practise, mocks, practise (in the area), forgets mistakes

Hi Travis, I’m delighted to say I passed first time in Sunderland today with 1 minor. Can I just say this video helped me so much as my test was at 1pm and all morning I was panicking and my heart was racing. When I watched this video it put me at ease and when I got in the car with the examiner I just switched off and went into driving mode. By the time I was asked to turn into the test centre I was amazed by how fast the test went. Thank you again, you are a life saver!

Thanks for all you're videos. Passed my test today with 3 minors your advice really helped!

Thanks so much James!Took my theory in August and have been watching your videos throughout my lessons.Took my test this morning and passed first time.I have a great instructor but your videos really helped me apply my knowledge! Thank you again!

i was really nervous before my driving test; just had it today and i passed :) thank you so much :)

I had my test and I'm happy to say I've passed all thanks to all the videos i have been watching on this channel 😊 Thank you soooooo much

I passed my test last week with a combination of a great instructor, watching you and watching a hypnotherapy session on here too for driving anxiety. Thanks so much :)

Just want to say thanks for making these videos! They really helped with me at passing my test! Passed today 1st time. Your videos alongside my lessons really really helped!

Tomorrow's the day, thanks for all the tips, definitely helped in my lessons, I'll let you know how it goes :)

My incentive for learning to drive is my job as a community nurse so hopefully will pass and driving by January.

thank you for your advice. extremely helpful.

Just Passed My driving Test Today with 0 Minors Faults i am over the moon today Thank you so much your videos really helped me a lot .... Keep it up 👍🏼

This helped me so much! Passed first time with 4 minors yesterday! I suffer from really bad anxiety and was so nervous but the test isn’t as bad as it seems! I felt like I was going to failed and my driving wasn’t as good as normal but I was safe which is the main thing!

Test in three days, needed this badly! Thanks for the video!

Thank you for all the tips and tricks, it’s my first ever driving test Tommorow and I’m SOOO NERVOUS so I’m just watching all this videos to help myself

Amazing channel!

I feel really lucky my instructor had been teaching for 30 years, one of the top independents in the country and was a fucking lad. £20 per 2hrs of lesson as I worked with him at his main job, (he was technically retired as a driving instructor) went from never driven to well above test standard in 18 hrs. Passed test second time due to nerves on first test, pulled out from a roundabout and cut up a bike (which hit the roundabout going between 40-50 mph) these vids really do help to give you an idea on a topic, junctions, roundabouts, passing a parked car/obstruction etc before you go out on a lesson, couldn’t recommend more

thank you for the advise I past my test first time so happy

Thanks for the advice man :)

Hi I had my driving test today at 10.14am. I couldn't sleep last night thinking about it. Then I had a 1 hour lesson before the test,i made a few mistakes which helped me because I kept saying to myself waiting in test centre do not make them mistakes again. during the test the examiner pointed to a road sign behind a tree as I looked I wasn't 100% sure it said 30mph,so I continued at 20mph that's where I picked up a minor fault for appropriate speed.i passed with 1 minor fault :).

Hello. Thanks very much for posting wonderful lesson here . I watched them each Times and has really me passed my driving test today 😀

About to take my second test this morning! hopefully I will come back with good news

good advice. thank u.

I’ve got my driving test next Thursday so existed to start driving!!!

Watched all of your videos before my test this week . Helped alot . Unfortunately I didn't manage most of the advice on this vid .terrible sleep and not hungry in morning . I took a beta blocker before the test and passed with only 2 minor faults . Your videos helped greatly as well as excellent tutoring from my instructor

Good advice the first time I went to take my test I was literally shaking as a result I flunked lol

Want to really thank you for your really helpful videos. I passed first time today. Thank you 😊

I got my driving test in the next couple of weeks on the 1st December, so came over and watched this video. I’ll be updating the comment if I have passed or not.

My instructor wore a high viz vest in mock test and that helped my crippling nerves

Got my fourth test on Tuesday! I always do well in my lessons but whenever I get into the car for the test, I get nervous and scared! Hopefully this time I will pass!

Just had my test today and passed first time with no minors! Your videos helped a lot so thanks a tonne

I have my driving test tomorrow, this really helped! Thank you!

Suffering apprehension before any test is commonplace, but is totally different to the sheer panic some are faced with, when they find themselves involved in emergency situations. That's where many lesser experienced drivers can quickly loose control of their vehicles. Many accidents caused typically by panicking, then over-braking and/or over-steering in a split second reaction, especially when you're travelling at motorway speeds. Advanced driver training courses can however prepare against some of the more adverse driving conditions we may hope never to experience, especially if you're the kind of person that believes your driving test was a stressful experience. Metal becomes very pliable at speed! This is my opinion, I could be wrong.

Thank you. It worked perfect for me (: I passed and over the moon. X

Thank you

Did my hgv driving test the other day and I have never been as nervous still shaking 1 hour after I passed. I thought I mest up 5 minutes in but thought well I might get this examiner next time so carried on trying my best when we got back i had passed so even if you think it's over DON'T GIVE UP.

Good advice, thanks. test in 3 weeks. Atherton.

Thank you!! I take my test on Monday for my first time and watching your videos really help me! I will let you know the outcome :)
