honestly I lost count I had 2 driving instructors. The first one quit his job, I done around 20h with him. With Richard I did around 30-40h ish. @@Vyceprince
Congratulations, isn’t it a brilliant feeling? I passed mine last week, my instructor was absolutely amazing but I found these videos very helpful as well, thank you Richard!
@@katherine4145 Thank you. Congratulations to you too. Its indeed a brilliant feeling. And I also had the luck of being assigned a very cheerful examiner. It was a pleasant experience.
Well done young man. I would feel very comfortable with you driving. I'm sure you'll pass (if you haven't already). being calm and in control behind the wheel makes it a pleasurable thing to do. Confidence is a major factor, as well, and just don't let it manifest into cockiness. Hope you have many years of happy driving.
Passed my driving test 15 minutes ago with 2 minors! This channel has honestly helped me so much so if anyone else is nervous about taking their test this channel would definitely help ❤❤ good luck everyone!
Came back to finally say that I passed my test today (2nd try) with just one minor for hesitation. I started watching your videos after doing my first and I feel I've improved so much in terms of confidence and skill since then and also awareness on the road so thank you so much ❤
Your POV videos while driving are phenomenal ! They help us learners know what to think and what the tester wants to see. Thank you from Republic of Ireland.
Big thanks for all the videos - passed my test last weekend with 1 minor, and practicing after watching your videos was a huge part of that. Now the real learning begins...!
Hey Richard, I’ve literally been watching for months now and you’ve helped me so much. I just passed my test today with 4 faults and honestly it’s because of you. I’m still going to watch all of your videos as in so thankful for everything you’ve helped me with. Thank you!!!!
I like how the red car that overtook him from the manoeuvre behind the black car at the beginning, flashed his hazards a couple times, as they knew made a mistake
Those country roads remind me of the route I took on my test. Bloody lethal at 8:30am with all the school run mums in their SUV's twice as wide as the lane. No idea how I passed. 🤣
The phrase "depends on the examiner" does my head in... It should be black and white,,,not grey... I firmly believe in todays age that tests should be recorded and if there is a questionable decision it can be reviewed and discussed by a team. lets get out of the 1930's and do things by the book...nothing stopping this.
In my experience, serious faults are very consistent between examiners. It's what they might flag up as "minor" driving faults that can vary a bit. It's literally impossible to be completely "black and white" when you're conducting a test on public roads as the amount of scenarios that _could_ come up is infinite. Ultimately, an examiner is looking at whether a person is being safe, legal, and confident at the wheel, and that judgement will come partly from how comfortable they are with their driving.
interesting to see that you seem to allow dry steering on the maneuver. I understand too how this helps a lot as it makes it easier with the stop and dry steer while in the middle of the maneuver. And when going in and out of a tight space. I remember my first instructor just goes ballistic whenever I do dry steering on any of the maneuvers (just like the way he did in this video). Although I understand why they insist on not on doing it (tire worn out unevenly, suspension issues etc.). The nastiness just wasn't for me so I went for a different instructor... Always a good watch all the proper mock test videos where you don't intervene whatever the student is doing. i.e. Treating it like a proper test.
There do seem to be a lot of instructors that care more about wear and tear on their car than they do about teaching their students. If you are going to use your car to give driving lessons, you have to expect it to get a bit of a beating. The tyres are probably going to be destroyed by a student scraping the sidewalls against a curb long before wear from dry steering becomes an issue.
Dry steering does wear the tyres slightly more, but isn't a safety or control issue so isn't marked on the test. The best practise is to move slowly as you steer, though.
In another video Richard says that he doesn't consider the dry steering to be much an issue nowadays and reckons the stigma around it is a relic of the past when it was very hard to turn the wheel while stationary Optimally you're off the brake slightly, but if the situation is cramped, don't worry about it at all.
Watching for the first time after passing! Managed with just 1 minor (third time the charm 😅). These videos helped me alot! Stay safe out there everyone ❤
Thanks a lot ❤ As aways, I am benefited much from the content. As this fantastic mocking test, I realized how much the weight of controlling speed is for driving, even that's already showned clearly from the previous series vedios of Richard. And that's exactly the reason why Richard focused so much on how the driver is supposed to control the vehicle through speed once one road, instead of break/or clutch except the situations of such as park or emergency stop. Thanks, Richard 🌹Thanks, Domas 🌻
A good video from you Richard for any Learner driver with good commentary from you to help and explain what is happening. 😊 He should pass unless the examiner quota is against him 😂 His drive was overall good. Good editing from you or someone in your team. 🎉 Sometimes the Satellite navigation system can be confusing and misleading as shown today’s video; if only examiners understood this. Thank you for the video 😮 Good testing weather conditions for the uk roads today’s video.
I have passed today with 2 minors I want to thankyou so much you have taught me sooo much and I remembered as long as I’m safe and legal I will be fine 🎉😊
Need to tell the person you are using cockney slang, it really does helps to know what the hell you are on a about. While siting in the jam jar you could have given him a monkey for passing his test or take him to a nuclear sub for a few pig's ears but leave the jam jar at kip. Thanks again for a clear drive.
i know this video is months ago and i've had my licence for over a year now since march (dutch licence), i still find it a little difficult to do hill starts. Do you recommend, the hold brake and keep clutch at biting point? or is the biting point plus handbrake better? sometimes it goes well, sometimes its questionable, no stalls tho so yay
I’m confusing at the min 12:56 he took the second exit but he start signaling right when he approached the roundabout and he keeped on until the take the exit.I know from my instructor if I take the second exit I don’t need to signal only Signal left after you have passed the exit before the one you want to take.
22:22 if the give way line stretches the whole width of the road, doesn't it mean no entry? I know there is no no entry sign, but this road looks like a one way road joining the main road. At this moment I thought it should have been a serious fault for not following the road markings.
I remember a time when I thought the same. It simply means give way. Give way before you go in and give way before you come out. So both directions need to giveway, I advise letting vehicles out before going into the road.
@@ConquerDriving how do you give way when you go in? As in, I understand that you give way when you enter if it is narrow, but I don't think it is how give way line is used. It doesn't make sense. Where you enter, there is a single broken line. If there are no other entrenches to that farm, or whatever that is, and I assume there aren't any, I think the road planners messed it up. If they really meant it to be no entry, they'd post proper signs, wouldn't they? There's actually a similar entrance later on in the video at 24:25, but there is no indication that it is a one way street. A bit odd, isn't it. By the way I thought about it when I saw this road in your other videos. I couldn't believe it was no entry, bur that what the lines seem to say.
@@artemkatelnytskyiI’m guessing you don’t do much country driving? These double dashed junctions are particularly abundant, also junctions that have just a single dashed stretched are nearly as common too. They do not indicate a one way system/no entry at all, rather as you say rather poor road planning. Saying that some junctions simply do not have the width to a have a divider at the junction, hence the double dash across it’s width. It’s unavoidable.
There are plenty of roads like this in Britain, you need to move very slowly in and be prepared to stop as the road is only wide enough for one car. In the north West of Scotland many of the roads are single track. One way systems in the country side are rare.
May you please make a video about maintaining of driving speed. Actually, how to keep the speed fixed or unchanged. That is what most of new drivers struggling with. Thanks,
This lad was asked to pull over and stop which he did at 26.47. The road was a clearway with solid white lines either side. Therefore stopping is not allowed. Tut. tut...but otherwise this video is great!
Stopping is allowed on this road. A white line does not mean no stopping. A red cross on a blue background or a red line pained on the road means no stopping. Examiners also use this road for the emergency stop. This white line is an edge line.
I always wonder: is it a thing in the UK that you don't use turn signals when going back/away from your road side or when parking in parallel (6:02)? In Poland such maneuver without a turning signal would be counted as an error and the pupil would need to repeat.
i'm so jealous look at how responsive that car is and how its holding idle around 800rpms i've got a crappy IM/Auris that idles at 600 with a clutch that is so heavy with a mile of travel- every start is essentially a hill start
This is great timing I have a driving test on Wednesday it’s my second attempt. As my first one I failed for vehicle checks as I swerved on a dual carriageway when someone was overtaking in another lane during the show me question when asked to use the horn. Edit: I failed again my driving was awful due to nerves so I made 3 serious faults and I drove worse than the first time. At least I have a cancellation for two and a half weeks time, so hopefully I can pass on my third attempt. Edit 2: I passed my third driving test in an automatic with one minor!
I would like to stay and at stop hold back the traffic light better won’t be get block mark he very lucky the front suddenly move on so he got space to driving on
These two videos may help: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4tiHm8WxLWw.htmlsi=bPRbRg_BwppSj1ns ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8E6X2B5LDC4.htmlsi=kDf4P4NsVL6dqQig
He could have checked his mirrors more often though if I'm honest. Even when you fast forward, you don't see him checking the mirrors much. Unless it's ever so slight
33:47 So is it acceptable, on a driving test, for the candidate to politely ask the examiner to stop yapping on about monkeys and jam jars and let him concentrate on the driving? 🙄
Hi Richard Thank you for your video content, it’s extremely helpful. Is there any chance of you doing a video on your equipment setup? I’d love to know what cameras you use and how you mount them to stay legal Thank you 🙏
Great video as always! I find this video especially amusing because he have a quite similar name as mine Hey Domas, if you read my comment, good job on your mock test! Hope you'll get a good score on your real test! - Dimas 😅
A double broken line does not mean exit, it means give way. On narrow country roads it's common to have the double broken giveway line across both sides of the road to encourage you to let people out before pulling into the road as it's narrow. This line does not mean one way although you would find it in a one way system.
The rear wash wipe is not meant to be left on. It's there to clean the window as and when necessary. Either use the water from rain or screen wash to clean. Saloon cars don't usually have a rear wash wipe as they're not as necessary due to air flow.
Because anyone taking the test needs to know how to do it, doing it on the mock gets them used to doing it on a test scenario and not just when it's an emergency stop lesson
Because traffic should be able to leave the road or reach the hard shoulder if they need to. Passing on the left traps traffic on the right in the road.
In Great Britain a dual carriaway has a national speed limit of 70mph unless signs state otherwise. The grass in the middle is a central reservation and therefore it is a dual carriageway.
thnk z they # has name,z no idea l call it like thermo for vmany ml,z u go so u can please teach us everything inside every pt I'd great idea,z to no l have easy name,s
I never did any mock tests, I don't think they are that helpful cause in a normal lesson I'd do all the same things anyway, so a normal 1.5 hour lesson for me would be 2-3 tests in some sense. I could be wrong though, maybe there is a reason I've overlooked.
Nite Teacher how r u do n at the moment so in our zone,z is much busier traffic, z way lm go n to learn l have to do my zap,z do it much better ❤❤ how u r teach,n us let,z go
