Exam: How to Deal With Unexpected Stuff 

When they say driving requires 110% it’s true you must pay attention to everything. Highway driving much more relaxed city driving requires way more attention.

I cheated in getting my license, I went to a suburban quiet city just to do my exam. Everyone cooperated because there were barely any people and construction there. Thank you for teaching us to anticipate in this video, really helpful!

tl;dr: failure happens. Just keep trying :) I failed the road test twice due to parallel parking failures. This discouraged me a lot, and I felt like I myself was a failure. The third time I took the test, the examiner said "do you want the good news, or the bad news?" I like to get the bad news out of the way first, so I said "bad news". He said "there is no bad news, ya passed!" And the overwhelming relief I felt wasn't comparable to anything I'd ever experienced. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.

He's right about having bad luck.. during my driving test a car backed into me with 15seconds, I thought I failed but he said it wasn't my fault. I ended up passing it, he's never had someone get into an accident before

I went for my drivers exam today and binge watched your videos. They were sooo helpful and im proud to say I passed my exam. Thank you so much!

Becoming a defensive driver is the best way to go. There is just way too many people on the road who can be indecisive and inconsiderate of others. I always tell people when you learn to drive you need to learn to watch your surroundings, use common sense, and adapt.

OMG... This video, this is something I really wanted to hear. Sometimes it is not you, but the unexpected. Thanks for that. I will have my driving test on Thursday. I am a bit nervous, I've been watching your videos and I've learned a lot. Wish me luck guys! I will really appreciate.

Damn this is golden advice even for someone who has had a driver's license for a while. I'll add one more advice here, from personal experience, similar to the kid on the bike example from the video: if you make a left turn at an intersection to enter another street, and there is a car that stopped past the crosswalk to give you right hand priority, they stopped after the crosswalk because (in my case) there were other cars parked on the 1st lane or for whatever other factors their visibility was poor. In that situation, be extremely careful that there might be children crossing the crosswalk behind them, and if they are less tall than the car, you won't see them. I've once almost ran over two kids who just showed up from behind the car as the nose of my car was right at the crosswalk. Thank god I didn't hit them, if they were one step further...

I'm driving instructor and i learn some things from you.Your videos help me to teach my student easily.Thanks!

I love seeing all the streets right next to my house makes me feel at home... good video

I passed my exam, and I got my driver´s license but I cannot drive because I panic about unexpected situations, this video helped me to understand what clues I have to pay attention to in this kind of situation, thank you!

I passed last thursday on the 23rd. Your vids really helped with my confidence behind the wheel and my understanding of how to drive in general. It only been a couple of days but its already SOOO nice to be free to go wherever I want. Thank you!!

I’ve been driving for about a year and thanks to your videos I became a better driver . I really appreciate the effort you put into them and I always come back to learn something new . Thanks man!

I have my exam in two weeks and you upload this. You've been the most helpful channel I've found. Binged all of your content in two days 😂 Greetings from Uruguay

I will have my exam tomorrow. 2nd try. I failed my 1st because I was too nervous and because of that I stalled multiple times. From now on I will put a 1st when I'm moving REALLY slow. A basic concept that I was not using when I approached the roundabout. Edit: I PASSED!!!!! :D

I can kinda relate myself to what you said in this video. It’s always because of that one serious or one dangerous fault that got me a fail. After failing on my third attempt, the instructor who taught me was getting abit annoyed and told me that I was so close at passing if it wasn’t for that one unlucky mistake! But I’m glad that I managed to pass on my 4th attempt, I’ve also learned that having a proper mindset is very important at passing the test, which is to stay alert and look for any hazards ahead at all times, and try to plan early when possible. Luckily, in the UK we don’t have to take a driving test on a snowy/foggy day due to safety reasons

Wow, thank you for this!!! last month, I failed because I did not give a right of way to other vehicle when I was turning left and she was going straight, I stopped waited for her to move, but she did not so I decided to go and that failed me. Now I am doing it again Tuesday, wish me luck!

You are a great teacher and also a great editor! I absolutely love the videos, I'm doing my exam in two weeks and I'm feeling a lot more confident with your channel, thanks!

These videos have been so helpful to me for years, thank you so much for the good work 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Alhamdulillah finally I passed my driving test after trying four times

This is an awesome video! Lately during my practice drives people have been tailgating me. It’s so dangerous because I live in a city where people often walk out into the street or turn out from side streets. I’m really worried that I’ll get rear ended when I make the necessary emergency stop. There are a lot of variables in driving. I want to be prepared for all of them.

You’re great in teaching .we become confident after watching and listening to your videos. Thanks.

I passed my exam today. Thank you for your great videos. I couldn't have done it without your videos ❤️❤️

I'm going to watch these videos. I just got my first car and I literally already fucked up. My dumb ass didn't know the rain would mess with my braking so I hit someone. I'm just glad both cars were mostly OK, probably just cosmetic. It was scary as he'll and I'm gonna focus and slow down as much as I can when driving next time. More car space 100 percent

So true about being proactive. Always thinking 5 steps ahead of them. It's tiring but that should be done when driving.

I have passed the road test but watching your videos stills helps after that, thanks for sharing these videos, it really helps me a lot.

been driving for years now and it a great example you present keep it up for the new drivers

the driving test here in mexico is only driving around a single street and parking in reverse lol im thankful

I've been watching your videos for a while and just passed my test not long ago. Thank you so much for your tips! 🙌🏾🔥

This guy is the best driving teacher in the world; listen to him.

Those yellow lights can be difficult to navigate on a test. I find when I get to one without a countdown, you get to the intersection, it turns yellow and stopping abruptly would almost be worse so I do go through yellows in every day driving. If you're at one of these intersections without a countdown, you're driving at normal speeds. I'm sometimes doing 60 kms and it turns yellow as I get there, its difficult to stop! I go through it. But on a test, that would be a automatic fail. They should eliminate this on tests. I don't find it fair. More so when there's no countdown to help you at the intersection. Its like trying to guess when that light will turn yellow.

This is the right video I need for the moment , to bring back the confidence…..

The thing is. In austria you cant misjudge yellow lights. Shit is blinking green 4 times in an intervall of half a second. so you get 4 seconds to react. if it blinks you stop. if you cant stop in time without endangering anyone else go

i've been driving for three years now and looking at this video tells me about stuff that i naturally implemented to my driving which is good, also never be afraid to check ur blind spot a few times to be 100% sure you can turn

Thank you for saying that failing the exam doesn’t mean that you’re a bad driver. I failed my exam a few days ago. I got very stressed because of the examiner and I happened to book the time when everyone was leaving work.

I love how rookies abroad think they have it hard - come to India.

I don't why I am watching this video, I have been driving for 6 years. Your videos are really informative, keep up the good work!

What a great video. Thanks for posting this

Awesome video man. Passed my exam a long time ago, but I'm still subscribed bc your videos are so much fun to watch. PS. The footages you included in this video could've been shot in 1-2 days simply by driving around the Montreal area. It's like a whole other planet, what's wrong with you guys?

You have been making amazing videos thank you! Please continue making them.

Trying to learn driving for college. Want to become a responsible driver (most of the time ). This is honestly a great video.

Excellent video and Superb presentation. Thank you very much for such detailed analysis. Very informative. Learned many things.

Not sure if you'll see this comment, but just wanted to send a big thank you for all your videos, especially this one! I've failed a couple of times already and it discouraged me and gave me so much anxiety, but remembering what you said helped a lot (and maybe with a little bit of road luck). For those who is feeling like it'll never happen, it will one day and like what was said in the video, Proactivity, Anticipation, Moving your eyes, and ultimately "There's worse things in life than this" ☺

I have a license and passed my road test a while ago but it’s always good to remember these tips especially In the city

Thank you! I keep watching these videos to pass it first try, here goes nothing :)

i learned to drive and stay on my lane just by watching your videos. before it was hard for me to drive the first few days because i could not stay on my lane, it was like a little bit of a wiggly drive to stay on my lane. lol but when i saw one of your videos when you said, "look where you want to go" then automatically that really helped me how to stay on my lane hahaha now i know how to drive. it was like my eyes and my hands synced in to do the work. thank you.

You helped me to pass my test!! Thank you so much

Thanks to you and your all videos...I got passed in my driving test last week

After some years of exp, i realised that driving a Car requires literally 360° vision most of the time... Looking over the shoulder is also needed, don't hesitate to go for it but also stay aware of your surroundings

Where I live before yellow light ignites, the green light will be blinking for few seconds and then turn into a yellow, which makes it easy to evaluate whether you'll be able to pass it on time. I totally agree that there is a good shear of luck whether you pass it or not, I personally passed the exam by driving slower costing a non-critical mistake of making all other traffic slow down because of me, however that bought me some time to react more quickly to unexpected stuff like people comming out throught parked cars, traffic light changes, some dumb asses making turns without using a turn signal and so on.

you videos are so helpful!

This video really helps. Thanks Conduite

I think this is something every driver, even after passing the road test should watch too

you are the best driving instructor in the world.

Just got my license in Montreal. Learning a lot with your videos!

Can't wait for your next video 👍

Long time no see ..😍watching ur channel from Yemen

Thank you 🙏🏾

Am also doing my g on Monday, 3 days from now, I failed my first try am hoping I pass this second time because even though I have been driving on the highway for a year since I got my g2, I still failed my first try on the g, so that is making me nervous. I have been learning a lot on your channel, am gonna use that knowledge always. Wish me luck.

Thanks ur i way of telling is help full thanks

Thank you, Guillermo del Toro , very cool

Thanks for the video. That ´s so true that the luck can be a factor to have the driving license. Myself, i went at 10.00 when there is less traffic. In montreal, it is easier to get the licence driver in Henri Bourrasa. In langelier many fails

the animations in this made me laugh, its a nice touch! haha

I have my exam tomorrow and I’m just binge watching your videos to make sure I don’t mess up

You're the best channel! Been trying to contact you to see if you still have room for road lessons. Too busy I assume?

I hate it when aliens randomly show up to fight you in your drivers exam X)

Haha already have my driverslicence but I still enjoy watching this 😅😅

Wow bravo for all the good explications

I have my driving exam tmr. Wish me luck. Thanks for sharing. I failed twice. I better make it this time. 😢

MERCI BEAUCOUP !

Good my broo thank for your recommendation

I don't even have plans for taking a driving test nor do I plan to drive at all, but this is indeed a good video.

Very informative and helpful

This top quality video at its peak

I passed yesterday but this video is so true. During my exam- there’s construction going on the block she told me to turn into. another car came while I was doing parallel parking

8:26 What doesn't make sense is why they would fail the person if say they had to make a sudden movement because of someone else. That happens all the time, with everyone who has a liscense, so it doesn't make sense that they would fail unless they didn't react at all or came close to hitting a person or something.

even though I am a leaner across the pond, I find this video very useful

Love it! Greetings from Germany!

A story to complement this video: I was learning how to drive in a francophone country, while knowing very little French (upper A2 at best). Sometimes I struggled due to sheer mental overload of translation, driving and talking to the instructor at the same time. Before exam another instructor noticed my hesitation about passing intersections with traffic lights. He explained how to go about it right there, while I was still driving. In that moment I felt like I understood the explanation. Next day at the exam, while approaching an unfamiliar intersection with construction works, I made a mistake and examiner stopped the car - an automatic fail. Everything else we did before and after that moment was marked as perfect on the final result. Before new attempt I asked my instructor for another explanation, but this time we weren't driving and I prepared Yes\No questions beforehand. We practiced after and my brain immediately felt at ease with this element. Actually focusing on the explanation, understanding it 100% and being able to ask solid questions for clarification purposes made everything much simpler. Second exam was a success. Key lessons are: 1) make sure you understand what you need to do. Memorization =\= understanding. The latter is better and safer. If you are not 100% confident with that, ask questions. 2) try to divide moments when you learn new information and when you practice it. Learning and understanding something new while you doing an unfamiliar task is harder than one might expect. If I would do it all over again, I'd gladly exchange 5 minutes of driving for a Q&A time. p.s. Thank you @Conduite Facile for educating people about driving. Your multilingual approach was an immense help for me in getting french drivers license, something which I thought was absolutely impossible without at least B2 level french. Merci beaucoup Monsieur !

Very helpful video

thank you!

Many thanks for your videos, Sir! I passed my drive exam last week. I had been watching your videos. I learn a lot! Btw, for a new driver in montreal, is it allowed to stick a "new driver" sticker on the back of car? I'm new to Montreal.

This is pretty helpful. I started driving a few weeks ago and so far I haven't crashed or got honked at. XD

I don’t have a license and I ride a two wheeler but I learned all this the hard way because I don’t want to die

No exam should be failed due to out of control situations

Perfect vision for driver..

First off I wanna say that I love your videos Hermano! Big fan and student of Conduite Facil! I have my road test on December 8th. I would like to know how to practice without a car…. I dont know anyone with a car

Nice animations!!

For some reason in my school the driving exams were always done in neighborhoods but they were very strict on making sure to look around you at all times

Can you please make a video on drive on snow or bad weather. Thanks!

Some of the things mentioned here just shows how dangerous driving is and how certain things like signs and light signals are poorly positioned.

Always appreciate sh*tposting in educational videos, keep up!

Awesome video

a large truck once cut me off in traffic when I was doing my behind the wheel test.

I love it !

Hi Sir, I have learnt a lot from your videos still learning helps to be a better driver. Thanks🙏 a lot. I have one question. Your videos are very clear interested to know what dash cam u r using. I am planning to have one for my car both front and rear. Your suggestions pls. Appreciate your help and time. Thanks again

This video is more about life itself than driving

This unexpected things is a daily routine in my country.

One of the few scenarios that makes you appreciate your paranoia is when you're driving on the road. Always pay attention.

what is your advice if someone tailgates you during an exam?
