Hi Dane, passed my test yesterday with 1 grade two faults. This was my 3rd attempt after failing in 1st 2 tests miserably. Many thanks for your videos, it really helped me to prepare and brush up on all the basics of driving. Just a tip for all the new drivers who will give test -- if you have issues with mirror checks before signaling -- whenever the tester says something for a turn etc --- As soon as he speaks get your eyes straight to the middle mirror and when he finishes the look for right/left mirror and signal. In this way, you won't lose marks in Signals + observations. Thanks

Hi Dane, Thank you for your videos, they were invaluable. I passed my driving test in my first attempt. Keep up the good work and thank's a Million.

Your videos helped me immensely leading up to my test. I wasn't able to get any instructor to do a pretest with me so relied on your video's to help me pass. I passed my test first time thanks to these. Super super helpful

I just passed my test today, first try. Thank you very much for your very helpful videos. Cheers

Thank you for all the time, effort, planning... so much work that goes with each of your videos

Dane, never knew you have such good sense of humor. This is a great relief from the tension of the up coming test.

Passed first time today, your video on mindfulness and driving anxiety helped me out a bunch, thanks a million!

Thanks for sharing all these videos they were so helpful to me preparing for the test. I passed today in Dun Laoghaire Dublin, conditions were bad due to storm Eunice. I watched lots of your videos and they really helped me through the test. I’ve donated to your page and I’ll send my feedback from the test on to you!

Have the test tomorrow, watching a heap of your videos, big help

Fantastic stuff as always dane, very detailed and informative

Thank you so much. Your videos are so helpful. I had my driving test this morning and I passed. It was my first attempt. I am indeed very grateful. I will email you my result. Thank you

Hi Dane, I started to learn to drive during the pandemic and passed my test on my second try yesterday! Your videos were so invaluable to me. Thanks so much!

Hi Dane, thank you so much for your videos! I passed my test 1st try a few hours ago and all I had been watching for the past 2 weeks were your videos. They really, really helped me understand all the theory and become more observant. So thank you again! I do appreciate it!!

Your videos are extremely helpful, hopefully I pass my test!

Hi Dane, just passed today on my second test! Thanks so much for the videos they helped so much!!

You LEGEND! Thank you so much for all the amazing videos! I passed my test today first time! I think I’ve got more from these videos than from any instructor I had in the car with me. I’ll keep coming back to your videos to make sure I keep the driving skill to the safest standard! Thanks for all the intention and effort you out into this! Cheers to you!

Hi Dane, Thank you for sharing this video. Actually I keep watching your videos for 2 weeks. That was so helpful. I have my first test in next week! Hopefully I'll pass in the first time 😄 Thanks a million 🙏

Hi dane just wanted to say thanks your videos help me pass my test today

Hi Dane, Thank you for these videos. I'm waiting for a test date (which could be next year with the rate things are going!). This failure overview is great for people like me who haven't done the test yet. I did my pretest and unfortunately failed however, it was mostly Observation, Gear changing at the light and smaller infractions. I feel more confident that I wont fail my first time because you've made this very approachable and easy to understand. Thanks again and keep it up!

Hi Dane, passed my test yesterday in the 1st attempt. Thanks a lot for your videos! I've been driving in another country for +10 years, so I'm not unexperienced, but you're super clear with the Irish rules. Great stuff!!

Hi Dane another good video I saved it soo I can learn as I go along Good to see your funny side

Hi Dane, thank you for your videos. I pass my test today at Waterford

Thanks very much. You are great.

You are the best

A great thanks for your videos Dane...you are a real hero...I kept watching your videos...I passed my driving test first time... God bless...

Love the bloopers 😂

Passed my test with 2 grade twos today, thought I failed when a truck pulled out from a junction right infront of me and had to brake hard.. Many thanks to you Dane! your videos have been a great help and I highly recommend for everyone to subscribe to Dane's channel and watch all his videos.

Hi Dane, thanks a million for the great videos. Just wondering, the 5 point check for reversing - I have in the habit of looking out my back window more than the left mirror (great), and try to check the R mirror 2-3 times, stopping halfway through the bend to check the blind spot. Is this OK, 1. To stop halfway through and 2. Is it necessary to check over R shoulder as much as done above? Thanks!

Hi Dane, got my test on Thursday have been binge watching all your videos the last week any last minute tips?😅

Hi Dane. I enoying your videos. Currently im preparing myself to do driving test cat A on motorbike. Perhaps you know who has videos with explaining how to pass driving test on motorbike?or maybe you are able to uppload some videos/footage of some test routes?

Hi Dane, bit of a strange question. Just wondering what the procedure is for clearing the way for an emergency vehicle (ambulance, fire truck, guards). If they are coming from behind, should you slow down and allow them to safely pass you, or should you actively move into an available space (e.g. bus lane on your left) temporarily to give them the clearance they need and merge back in when safe? Was in this situation recently and heard conflicting views about which of the two were correct (or if they were both wrong). Thanks again for all your videos, they've helped me come a long way in my journey so far!

Hi Dane, I have my driving test tomorrow, I was driving today and I went into the box when the light was green it then went red when I was already in the box and no green filter light came on, so I had to brake the red light as I was in other road users way Was I correct in my actions or could of it been done differently?

Hi Dane Do we check only right blind spot when moving off?

Hi Dane, My instructor taught me that the hand signal for telling traffic behind my vehicle that I want to turn right is to stick my arm out the window and have my palm facing downwards. Is that wrong?

Dane I have a drive test on May 3rd, I really need to book lessons for the routes in Charlestown. Could you please help?

I got a grade 2 for turning in 2nd gear.

Hi dane how are things, any idea how long the waiting list is for people who have previously failed there test. Is the 6 week minimum totally accurate?

Thanks a lot Lots of love from India Your doing excellent job sir Please I have sent u my fail test report sheet my instructor gave me only one day per week 1 hour In limerick,I really need lessons from u Other wise very difficult to clear test sir,I don't have car Please sir any advice Thanks a lot

Hi Dane, If a stop sign is really far back from a blind junction and there is no stop line, If I stop at the sign I can’t see anything and would have to creep forward about 1.5cars length before being able to see, would I fail if I stop where the line should be instead of stopping at the sign.

Dane, is it always okay to change gear while turning?

Hi, in relation to the one at the 4 minutes and 30 seconds mark, must you wait for both lanes to be clear then before moving on to join the major road? If the right hand side lane of the major road is clear but the left hand side one is not clear must you sit and wait anyway? Never knew this, never heard it as a rule before, I wonder why it's a rule!

What should I do differently when reversing if theres a camera for reversing?

Do you need to indicate when doing the moving off manoeuvre?

When you move off, do I need hand break always or just the foot break ?

Hi dane, have my driving test Tuesday for the second time and am very nervous, I failed previously on not yielding to traffic coming from the right, and this time even though its only Sunday I'm already feeling extremely anxious for the test, I've took a driving lesson yesterday and he said I should pass if I be confident and remain calm, any tips or advice you can give me would be appreciated

Dane like many before me have commented thanking you, I'm yet another. Go raibh míle maith agat le haghaidh an cabhair.

My case I feel the comming was too behind and I wait for that . If you feel you can go better go otherwise slow progression in left & right turn at T junction. Government should remove this as we should not expect to fast from Lerner as security is more important then slow progression 🙏☘☘

hi there! do i put on the left indicator when doing a reverse around a ( left ) corner ? as in do I turn it on and keep it on as I reverse?

Hi Dane i love your videos I recommend them to everyone but Im coming across many instructors who are shouting at their students and literally scaring the living daylights out of them whats your view on this ??

Hi Dane, my instructor said you're not supposed to cross your hands while steering and it will result in a fault. I can't find anything in the rules of the road that says this. I tend to cross my hands only when steering really quickly right or left for a 3 point turn. Can you can confirm this is OK or not?

Can you fail if the car you do your test in needs a service?

Should you really be looking through your back window most of the time? I'm currently on my 10th lesson, have completed the reverse around the corner numerous times now but by using my mirrors and not looking through my back window at all except for quick checks!

Hello hello how can I not mention your help I finally passed after so much stress I have only one advice for applicants take your time you don't have to prove anything you need to pass ......thank you ❤️

Can we still email the results to you for feedback?

How much enough gap in roundabout to enter if car is allready on big roundabout Let assume you reaction max time 2 second plus 2 second rule . In second gear max speed 30 km per hours Then 2 second gap 16.67 meter 4 second gap 33.33 meter gap enough I found most case behind car never maintain such distance . 25km per hour speed 2 second gap 13.8 meter 4 second gap 27.8 meter 20 km speed 11.11 & 22.22 meter I hope driving examinor must consider this 50 km 27.78 & 55.56 meter

😂😂😂😂

Hi Dane, please what is your email ? I want to forward you a failed result. Thanks
