My examiner was amazing. Within the first 5 minutes of my test a bus tried to overtake me in the exit of the roundabout we were leaving from and cut in front to get to the bus stop. I was nervous-babbling the whole time and muttered "what is this guy doing?" as I saw him come up the back and side. I kept the speed low and had enough time to brake to avoid getting taken out. Examiner yelled at the top of his lungs "WHAT A PLUM!" He then spent the rest of the test going on about his autistic son's intelligence, talent and university ambitions because I work with neurodivergent students. It was so cute, he was so freaking proud.

On the way out of the driving centre a driver drove right into the back door on the passenger side . He was coming into the centre and misjudge it.the inspector made me do the test. I breezed through that test because I was sure I had already failed. Got back to the centre and was so surprised to be to.d I had passed with no faults at all. That little crash was the best thing to happen to me as I had been really nervous and because I was sure I had failed and so I relaxed so much.

I passed first time a few days ago with three minors. Thanks for all the help Richard. Advice to anyone taking a test, even if you are *absolutely* certain you failed, still try your best. I thought I failed on two occasions: once where I emerged on a major road with a car coming & I had to stamp on the brakes, & the second where I braked quite sharply to tuck in on a hill with a car close behind, then stalled the car, & then rolled back quite a bit. Yet both incidents were marked as driving faults & I still passed so please don't ever give up during your test.

I respect anyone who is willing to be filmed on a mock-test, especially in a situation like this where it's an experienced driver but lacking a bit of familiarity with UK road craft. Fair play to Kam. I'd had a full motorcycle license for a long time before passing my car test and my instructor said one of my major advantages was experience with UK Road Craft, especially roundabouts, that made life much easier for me (Still had a lot to learn and adapt I will admit). Also, great Examiner persona. I'm pretty sure part of the job description of an examiner is to have an unnervingly good poker face...

When I returned as a resident in 2017 I drove around on my US license for a year (they don't let you get a licence immediately), and then I took the three tests: 1) theory test; 2) perception test; and 3) practical. I passed all three the first time! My new British wife supervised a lot of my driving at first so as to teach me the ropes, and then my step-son-in-law (who had been a professional driving instructor) gave me about 3 lessons.

@MrPaulc222 10 месяцев назад

I am an experienced driver who passed my test (at the second attempt) in 1981 and I have been driving most days since 1988. I want to say that even with that level of experience, I find there is value in watching Richard's videos. Some aspects of driving have changed in the past 40 years - particularly in cities - though I mostly drive in moderate-sized towns and sometimes the countryside. I particularly note the stuff about the approach speed to junctions, especially as I drive a transit-sized van that often carries a heavy load. Van driving is a bit different from car driving even at the level of c. 3 tonnes, and many of the things Richard says are even more significant in such circumstances.

@RD-ht6go 10 месяцев назад

Does that mean van brakes and tyres wear out very quickly?

@MrPaulc222 10 месяцев назад

@@RD-ht6go Not necessarily, but I was referring to the fact that it's harder to recover from a mistake in a heavily-laden van, so it's more important to not make them in the first place than it is with a vehicle with better acceleration and shorter stopping distances. Tyres can wear faster on a van if it's loaded a lot and you do a lot of tight maneouvering, but they usually have a -C rating (for commercial) to cope with the loads. I tend to decelerate a sooner than if driving a light car. It is a different driving style that eases wear on the vehicle and on the driver's stress levels.

@Chrisamic 9 месяцев назад

You never stop learning, and there's no such thing as a perfect driver. I've done several driving tests over my life after passing my test first time in 1982. A few army driving courses and mandatory tests for work related vehicles. I'm normally rated quite highly by the testers, but I learn something on each every course I take. I can highly recommend doing further courses (like defensive driving courses for example) but unfortunately hardly anyone does this outside of work related testing.

@RikAindow 10 месяцев назад

Jason was a very stern sounding examiner but the points are valid. Kam seems to have struggled to adjust to our narrower roads and tighter junctions with reduced visibility. For those that haven't driven in the US, the roads are wider and the junctions, larger, with greater visibility, as such can be taken at much higher speeds. When he went to go through the no entry, did anyone else see the biker point at the correct entry? Nice riding. :)

Memories of my test 40 years ago - which was quite eventful! I was learning with a big agency on a local government contract. On my first lesson the instructor had a mental breakdown, took off his clothes, and abandoned me in the middle of a dangerous housing estate. On my second lesson, the instructor took be to the depot and disappeared. On threat of losing their contract, they gave me an open-ended number of lessons with their best instructor. He was a utterly brilliant. He trained the police pursuit trainers and the advanced driving instructors. Long after I felt I was ready he gave me more free lessons. The test was eventful - I had to do a real emergency stop when a mother with a pram stepped in front of me, and also deal with a jammed traffic light. The instructor was waiting for me and I said I'd passed. He said "I know - I didn't tell you but I've just broken the national record for consecutive passes (36, I think) and there's no way I'd have let you sit if there was any chance of you failing..."

On my first drivers test I had a bus driver as an examiner and you portraited him perfectly even though I live in Hungary. Before the second exam I went and practiced quite a lot, at the end I had approximately 1000 kilometers behind me (620 miles) and my book showed it. I learned a lot and had a better routine, got the same examiner this time and he was much nicer after a few tasks and luckily passed the exam. I drive for 8 years now, but still learn stuff every now and then in traffic and from your videos. Cheers

I'm an American preparing to take the UK driving exam. There are many, many differences, not just the 'left side of the road, right side of the car' thing. Despite 20+ years of US driving experience, professional UK driving lessons (and these videos of course) have been vital for me.

@@RikAindow Hardly anything came unexpected. It takes time and effort to get into the clutch's innards and some questions about the torque, power, and rpm of an engine, get used to left-side traffic, and master clutch-gas-gear synchronical operation to the point of the full subconscious. On the one hand, Americans are lazy. But on the other hand, why bother if an alternative is available.

@@vickywitton1008 I can attest to that. In San Francisco road test pass rate is 75%. In Daly City (5 miles south of San Francisco) road test pass rate is 80%. 20 minutes of smooth sailing and voila! No freeway driving, no reverse parallel parking, no manual transmission requirement, no roundabouts (runarounds 😀), wide streets, and light traffic. One has to be totally inept to flunk the test.

This was hard to watch, even years after I eventually passed - pretty much spot on with the mannerisms and directions, though my examiners weren't quite as cold. They also tell you what you got majors in, if any, and will briefly go over minors if not. They always ask what you'd be doing today - I thought it was a way of helping you to relax but I now realise it's likely to see if you get easily distracted.

My parents never learnt to drive so we never had a car in the family when I was growing up. We went everywhere by public transport, which was fine when I was really young as I knew nothing else. Once my friends started driving lessons and got their first cars I became acutely aware of how much more freedom they had than I did. I was incredibly nervous about driving and it took me a long time to pluck up the courage to learn, but I did it. It took 3 attempts for me to pass my driving test but I got there in the end and have been happily driving since 1997 - passing my driving test was one of my proudest moments. 😊

I think that, at least from what I've seen and experienced, the UK driving test is very very strict. Here in Romania I passed first time, but the expectations are nowhere near as serious than what is in the UK. And generally speaking, here in Romania people enter traffic less prepared because of this. I no for myself I needed an experienced driver next to me for a few more of my journeys. Also, for some reason in Romania it is strictly forbidden to learn to drive on a highway, so that is another area where there are problems. This is why I watch your videos, they teach me things I never would have known otherwise. Thanks.

@nswinoz3302 8 месяцев назад

Try Australia, 6 States and 2 Territories just a bit smaller than main land USA and therefore most of their states the state of Texas will fall into without touching the sides. A theory exam is required to start the learning process. What was 150 hours of documented(recorded) practical driving now reduced to only 120hr with a portion of night driving record.if you attend a driving school those hours are valued 3 to 1 up to the first 10 hours equal 30 so you still have 90 hours of accompanied driving. Before you can attempt your licence test, again theoretically and practical examinations. If you pass that you are issued a provisional licence that allows you to drive on the road by yourself for one year so long as you display a red P plate. It also has certain restricts on speed number of passages vehicle engine type or capacity and zero alcohol of course, which you will get tested on regularly. Then in no less than a year can be longer, you allowed to do your second test on what most people would call theory road skill. Which you have learnt while driving for one years (min) after you pass that test you move to you Green P plates with slightly less restrictions. You have to drive on that for another two year after which you qualify for a full licence. So an average of 3 1/2 years but can take longer, and compared to Sweden it’s easy. P.S. Random Breath Tests or RBT’s ( watch the show ) have been common place in Australia for over 40 years and widely accepted and I know that I’ve been tested more than 200 times but less than 500 in that period even twice on the same day more than once. Also along with two now adult children while teaching them to drive. 35 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath equal our OLD limit of .08 Blood Alcohol Content (BAC). However it was lowered to .05 BAC around 20years ago that approximately 22 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath or the limit in Scotland. I’ve also driven in Germany where EVERYONE follows the road rules even when there are at TERMINAL velocity in a brand new Shelby Cobra.Great country and good people! From NSW in Oz.

As a yank who has also driven in the UK, I absolutely feel the driving too close to the kerb thing. After driving on the right side of the road for nearly 30 years, my brain wants to center the car in the lane as if I were sitting on the left side of it. When I sit on the right side, I end up too close to the kerb. The first time I drove in the UK, I even touched a couple of hedges - thankfully not walls, cars, or pedestrians. It's a tricky thing to rewire that bit of your brain.

@iallso1 2 дня назад

I did an advanced driver training course about 12 months ago. We got to practice emergency braking at 80kmph both in a straight line and with a swerve to avoid an object in the road. It is impressive how quickly modern vehicles come to a stop and how they stay under control even with a significant swerve involved.

Happy to say I'm finally part of the "passed but still watching" crew! Passed my second attempt last week with 3 minors :D Probably a dumb question and one I should already know the answer to, I watched it back to see if I could figure it out but couldn't - the right turn which ended up being a no entry, if you can't turn right into that road, why is there an empty box in the middle, like where you would position in to wait for right turns? I think that would catch quite a few people out. You're more likely to notice the box on the road ahead of you before the no entry signs to your right, surely? It seems a bit misleading to me. 😅

For context (in the US) my son moved to Little Rock, Arkansas, a few years ago. Failed his test in the UK, then moved to Japan, and then on to the US. Never drove again after the UK fail until he got to the US about 10 years later. He had a couple of lessons in Little Rock, but was told "you drive fine, just get your Test done" (!). There is a theory test (so easy apparently), and a practical as over here, but these tests are operated by the Police Dept., and consist of basically driving out of the compound, turn left, turn left, turn left again and again & back into the test centre. "Good job, you've passed". You can drive when you are 14 to 16, and pass your test with a proviso to have an adult with you for 6 months, then you are good to go. Shortly after my son passed the test he bought a Dodge Challenger.....well, why wouldn't you?? An interesting thing happened during one of his two lessons; he was keeping his distance from the car in front, and mentioned "Only a fool breaks the two second rule". This intrigued the instructor, and after hearing that this was a common phrase in the UK said she would use it when teaching other drivers from then on. How about that??🤩 PS.....great video with the US driver, maybe sadly what you would expect, but most UK roads are a far cry from what you get in the US!
