A lot of people are saying this guy is overconfident, I can tell that he's not. He's nervous as hell, that's why he talks and smiles a lot to cover it.
eah, my partner and I both have anxiety issues- I clam up and become deathly silent because I worry what people will think if I say the wrong thing, she talks incessantly because she fears how people will percieve silence- and that was a learning experience for us both in realizing that we both have the same thing. She thought I was too relaxed and I thought she was overconfident.
Thanks for giving me the opportunity totest myself on UK roads after not driving on them for so long. Was scary to do so publicly, but it was a great opportunity to see where my driving was lacking and where I needed to focus on improving.
It's nice that you've done this and the video has been uploaded... There are probably many like you and some who are likely even worse, it makes for a good educational video.
It is very brave to be recorded doing this when I am sure Andrew knew his driving skills were lacking. I give him respect for that also for seeking help with his driving even though legally he doesn't have to.
I agree, like i said in my own comment it takes a lot to do this and respect must be given not only for recording it but as you said recognising he needs some more instruction full merit for that, not sure the clutch would agree mind, shame as the video doesn't display it very well but a kean ear can't ignore the sound of a very hot brital clutch plate
@@soup8786 I think his driving is way below average, at least to the standard in my country. It's the kind of driver that if spotted, I'll do everything I can to keep my safe distance.
This guy is brave for doing this. Most people seem to be criticising him, as if they're professional drivers. This video has been very educational. The editing is great and the advice is simple and to the point. Thanks for the video!
You act like there's nothing in-between dangerous and professional on the scale of driving ability, they have every right to criticize as he is a fellow driver sharing the same roads. This video is great for people learning to drive though, it shows you exactly what sort of driver you shouldn't be.
Driving is not hard, be aware of everything around you and never forget that most drivers on the road are a danger to themselves and everyone else 😂 I think if someone fails a driving test anymore than 3 times should be banned from operating a motor vehicle 😮
Just wanted to tell everyone that I passed my test today, first time, zero minors. I screwed everything up in the hour before my test and my instructor said he was debating not letting me take his car. The second the test started I just felt at ease and everything was clear. I hope that puts someone at ease, just because ur messing things up before doesn’t mean you’re definitely going to fail.
Thats not great to hear from your instructor just before your test. Obviously the mistakes were nerves and saying something like that can just make things worse
A friend of mine got yelled at by her instructor right before her test. It totally ruined her entire confidence and she ended up failing. Glad you passed!
Oh yeah the day before my test I did a mock, failed it and then we practiced parallel parking and everything went bad my instructor said 'lets hope the manoeuvre isnt a parallel park then'. It was and I passed. So from one new driver to another congrats!!
After passing a year ago, I cannot stress enough how important it is to start driving immediately and get those hours behind the wheel under your belt. I got on the motorway on my own from Hertfordshire to Nottingham after about 3 weeks of passing my test. It was disorientating in the beginning with the multiple lanes and keeping an eye on all the cars around me, but you need to be brave. With that drive I learnt the real value of the blind spot check e.g. to look for that car moving into the middle lane from the far right lane when you are trying to move into the middle lane as well from the left lane. Be brave and trust the skills you built up during your lessons. If you dont have the confidence to be brave then all I can say is that there is no rule against taking more lessons after you pass. When you are ready and only you will know when, take charge and get out there. You will soon learn to spot the lunatics and trouble makers.
@J G Well, so far, it is erratic lane changers, those who come really close to the back of your car, white vans, people who change lanes without indicating, people with poor lane discipline and finally you just get a sixth sense when you have a 360 degree awareness around your car. Small clues you just instinctively pick up. I can not describe it, but you will get it too once you drive for a few months. You will get what I mean then.
Yes in hindsight this is true. I passed my test in a manual in Nov 2018 and haven't driven since the day I passed and it's now June 2023 and I have an automatic, so I booked refresher lessons recently to get me comfortable back on the road as I don't remember any of the maneouvres 😅 I'm still too anxious to head out on my own without someone next to me with a dual brake!
@@jimmyjonga8048 "and finally you just get a sixth sense when you have a 360 degree awareness around your car. Small clues you just instinctively pick up. I can not describe it, but you will get it too once you drive for a few months. You will get what I mean then." You're displaying a classic case of overconfidence because you've had a license for just over a year. You don't have a "sixth sense" and nor do you have "360 awareness". Even people who have been driving for decades have neither. You're not some kind of driving god. You're not even an experienced driver yet. Calm down.
This chap is showing all the signs of somebody who was taught by Dad rather than an instructor. Respect to him for seeking help as he clearly needs it, I wish more people with his ability felt the same way!
I HATED driving with my dad in the car before i passed my test. He'd constantly tell me how much i'm doing wrong when it wasn't wrong at all, and even went as far as telling me i needed a new instructor as he was teaching me wrong! Hes getting rather elderly now, and we're seriously considering taking the car keys off him. He learnt to drive before motorways existed - the roads are not the same thing any more!
@@jameshodgetts7541lol my Grandad got a driving license without any lessons or even having been in a car before. The war office forgot to make their driving passes temporary. Despite that he never had an accident or ticket
No way... I've been away travelling for 16 days with minimal RU-vid time, I get home and see this...two completely unrelated RU-vidrs I both watch regularly, in the same video! Best crossover!!!
He is very clearly nervous, his hand actions and leg movement during your into is a huge indicator, saying things like "dont be nervous its ok" will calm the majority of people down a little. he seems like a very likeable chap. I respect that when you make a mistake you will own up to it too, were only human
It's kind of obvious he is a nervous wreck, and even I would be. There's driving without being watched/judged and then there's test conditions, which whether you want to or not will automatically impact your driving skill, whether by over-compensating or under-compensating. Highly educational stuff. Love it.
@@user-ik6gl8ks6o Everybody makes mistakes, it doesn't make them bad people. "Bad driver" implies he doesn't care about the mistakes he makes. Yeah, maybe he messes up more than average, but he was willing to take this test to see if he had gotten worse. He wanted to improve, and he deserves respect for that alone.
@@colinjava8447 Because he wants to see if he's improved or gotten worse. Because he's an honest person who wants to improve his driving. Why is that so hard to comprehend?
I’ve been driving for around 40 years and consider myself as a reasonably competent driver . However since I’ve been watching this series of videos ( which are great btw). I find there’s always something that I’ve learned or become more aware of even if it is small things. It goes to show no matter how experienced a driver you think you are there’s always more to learn.
Yes, 54 years (2 accidents, legally not my "fault", city peak hour traffic). 140,000 km in last 10 years on highways, etc. This is a really good reminder. Thanks.
I remember watching Andrew's accident video. Great to see license holders with balls to admit that their driving needs looking at. Too many who think because they managed to pass they know everything.
I have always said that having a driving license doesn’t actually mean that you know how to drive. It’s simply just stating that you passed the required test. Passing a test and knowing how to drive are 2 different things
Here in Finland they say that when you pass the driving test and get your license, you can *start* learning to drive on public roads. The license doesn't mean you're good driver, only that you are not so bad that it woudn't be safe enough to let you continue training on public roads at all.
@@ConquerDriving also, you can get a licence and never ever drive or buy a car!! And then only start using it say 10 or 20 years later! Not impossible. 🙂
I honestly could smell the clutch from Chelmsford. I’m glad he did this with your advice after, the mirrors are a horror. Brave of you to let your car through this, I think he owes it a service or at least a detail 😅
Thanks for pointing out that people get annoyed if you leave 2-3 seconds gap on the motorway. It's very annoying how impatient people behave on the motorway. Let's be honest, most of the people in the 3rd lane are driving well over the speed limit.
I know someone who does that ! Doesn't bother to get back into left lane, because there's a car say a mile ahead, and that's classed as "about-to-overtake".... 🚗🌫️🌫️🌫️💨 🇬🇧🚗🌫️🌫️💨🐒
Props to this guy trying to get better, he's taking the logical enough view that hitting a stationary object requires an intervention; I think most people either wouldn't care or would feel too resigned to the situation to take charge of it. (Can't believe the UK still has the lifetime licensing!)
I think accommodating all drivers' retests as well as testing learners would be too cumbersome to manage - it'd be damn near impossible to get on the road, much less stay on. Lifetime makes the most sense right now, as once you're driving you're not likely to stop. There's insurance, one's survival instincts... life must go on.
5:41 as a passenger, I hate when people do this. When I'm driving, I never take my eyes off the road to talk to a passenger. Even if the car is stopped, if I look away, the light may change while my car sits there holding up traffic, or I may miss my turn to go at a stop sign, disrupting traffic in multiple directions.
When someone on RU-vid is reviewing a car, they are looking at the camera most of the time. I made a comment on a driving instructor's video as he was waving his right arm and looking to the camera. He made an excuse that he only did it when needing control. I agree that you should not look at a passenger while driving. I explain, that normally you would look at a person to whom you are talking, but not while driving.
Even worse - when passengers try to get you as a driver to engage conversation with them especially at times when maximum focus is needed on the road ahead and surroundings. I wonder how they can actually be drivers themselves.
@@cactusbase3088If it's low traffic on a pretty easy road, I'll be happy to talk. But I've told people multiple times that I need to focus, because there were so many cars on the road and people about. One second of distraction is all it takes to cause an accident.
Passed my test on my 3rd attempt today. Watching your videos made a massive difference. Without this channel I'm pretty sure I would be booking my 4th attempt right now. Thanks mate!
How many attempts can you have? Where I come from you get only 3 and if you mess up on the 3rd one, you have to take the while course all over again...
@@jankoflak820 You can have as have attempts as you want/can afford in the UK. You can't book another test for a few weeks though. There isn't really a 'course' as such. You need to have passed your theory test first but that only expires after 2 years not after a certain amount of attempts at your practical test. You can take professional driving lessons plus private practice until you feel ready to take the test. You could theoretically book a test with zero driving experience and rock up in your car. You definitely wouldn't pass but they wouldn't know that you had no experience until you started trying to drive. I think I know someone who took 14 attempts to pass their test!
@@SeanVlismas Well we have a course, that is very similar to education in school. Your teacher goes through all the important laws (like priority, use of signals, etc.). Simultaneusly you go through a practical couse, where you have to have something like 14 classes (45 minute each) behind the wheel. Then you go take a theory test, where you have 3 attempts to pass. If you fail, you have to go through the whole theory and practical course once more. If you pass your theory, you can take a practical test, where you drive around with the examiner for aprox. 30 minutes. Once again, you have 3 attempts maximum.
I dont even watch ibxtoycat, but i instantly went "hey i recognise that guy from some where" and then I was suprised to see how few comment there were mentioning it was him, and felt it was weird it wasnt metioned at the start of the video
Passed my test a week ago with two minors. It was all down to watching your videos, practice, practice, practice, and applying what I've picked up. Thank you so much for all your work. I'll continue to watch, even though I now have a full license.
@@ConquerDriving god bless you sir sir i become see your videos one after one you are amazing sir and I want to ask you favour please sir please can you make video about how can we drive car with manual transmission in mud road without car turn off or it slips the matter become very very difficult and embarrassing to me i asked many people to help me but no answer i hope you can sir
@@mybawzarerichie Ibxtoycat. He's a minecrafter mostly. But he also has other channels that he talks about other various things on. My children and I mostly watch him for minecraft.
You are spot on with people following too closely to the car in front. It's aggressive and unnecessary. This is such a terrible problem also here in the US, and as you say, people get annoyed if you leave 'too much' of a gap! If police are going to issue tickets, then I wish they would focus on this issue.
This channel, and especially this video, helped me get my UK driving license. I already had an International driving license, but I wanted the UK version too. Just by watching this channel videos, without going to any driving classes, I got my license today. Big thanks to Richard!
I passed in Feb with 5 minors don't think those minors mean your drive wasn't brilliant because alot of the time examiners have to find something to mark you down on. Welcome to the passed but still watching club 👍
I respect him for having the balls to do this and for it to be shown. Looking at the comments, that does need balls. But with my test coming up soon, it's immensely frustrating how much bad driving there is on the roads, no offence to him. I also enjoy his geography videos :)
At the end there you described me perfectly. Passed my test on my first try, but I didn't buy a car and barely drove my mother's as I was spending most of my days indoors studying for exams. Now, almost a year later I'm buying a car and watching these videos again
Wow. Firstly well done to Andrew for allowing himself to be filmed and exposed to scrutiny. I am surprised that people are allowed up to 15 faults. I feel this is far too many and you can tell that by watching Andrew's driving. It's quite scary as there will be a lot more careless drivers out there.
This mock test was very helpful! I learnt that moving a car from one place to another is not enough to conclude that one can drive. Learning jerk-free, smooth and safe driving is a process !!
I passed my test on Tuesday! My first test date was cancelled because of the snow in March (?) It was a strike day on Tuesday and I was one of the few that still went out at 8am! Your videos really helped me out, only had 1 fault overall! Good luck to anyone that is taking theirs soon, you're watching the right content.
He doesn't need to be. He passed, it can't be taken away from him, and that's what insurance is for. His mentality is very common. That's why insurance is so expensive.
I did this video (and the accompanying extra learning) solely to learn, rather than do what most people do which is to pretend they don't need to refresh their knowledge ever again lol.
@@toycat I respect you for doing this, but it looks like you were more concerned with talking to Richard and making jokes than focussing on the task at hand. Please put more attention into your driving and what's happening around you.
This really shows that you have to drive regularly after for the first few years after getting a license. Great video, really shows all the small details the examiners have to be aware off
Let's take a moment to appreciate how sincere the guy was accepting his fault and keeping the conversation friendly throughout. And to be honest I found his driving quiet safe and responsible. Way to go buddy❤
Apart from the but where he ride his clutch (constantly), broke the speed limit, constantly drove over the lane dividers and nearly hit a lorry? Yeah apart from that, entirely safe and responsible.
Seems like he's going for the bingo card here! Clean sweep of faults! Fair play to him, he did seem to indicate at the beginning that he wasn't too convinced of his level, so hopefully this will be an indication for him to refresh himself on some of the more serious issues that were picked up here.
You can tell that he improved as the test went on, even if all of his fundamentals were still lacking towards the end you could tell that he was starting to pick things up again. It's obviously a case of someone who doesn't have much confidence or time behind the wheel. Both of those are easily fixed with either refresher courses and more time driving. Hopefully he's getting on well with his driving now!
Two or three things here, one he doesn’t seen to be taking it seriously.Two bearing in mind he was technically on his best behaviour ‘test conditions’ what does he normally do? As a former ADI, I would have told him to definitely get some more tuition. On the plus side it should remind us all that there are some things that we may have slipped on, since taking our tests. Took my test in 1984! Your explanation, was very constructive and you are a star! By the way I also have an MX5 ND 😀
Watching this as someone who as never driven in a country with left-hand traffic is terrifying, especially the roundabouts that are the "wrong" way around.
You're right. I passed 16 years ago and didn't drive at all. I knew I wasn't safe enough to get straight on the road. I took refresher lessons and feel much better now I drive around normally (I have switched to automatic for my own sanity!). I enjoy watching your videos for further tips and safety!
As a continental dweller, I always assumed driving in GB would be confusing, but after watching this video, I'm now certain I don't want to even try. I consider myself a good driver (don't we all?) with 20 decades of continuous practice under my belt, no major incidents, and only a couple of citations for very minor speeding. I was confused for the entire duration of the vid, at every intersection, always watching out for the wrong cars etc., totally upside down. I guess I need to find me a similar video for RHD to check if the lack of situational awareness is caused by watching vids instead of looking around in a car myself, or if this is the mental load of flipped driving rules.
This was quite a scary watch. This guy seems nice but his confidence seemed to vastly outstrip his ability, a very dangerous combination. And every time he was cracking jokes I was internally willing him to pay more attention to what's in front of him. 😳 It's like he was playing "serious fault bingo", and if that was the case he did a great job 😂
I totally agree. At one point I missed the SatNav instruction because he was talking over it. The relatively frequent chatter was down to nerves, but someone really does need to tell him to shut up when driving and concentrate!
@@MarkPMus I agree but Lets not forget and In his defense.. he has his license and has put him self back under the scrutiny of the instructor and the internet! Even just having the cameras on can be un-nerving enough! I did some advanced riding and driving training years after passing and I needed a lot of work. and still do! But you wouldnt believe the silly things you do when being watched that you probably never do alone! Lots to learn in this video for all of us, esp the person driving and being tested in the video.
I appreciate nerves can make you do some daft things in situations like this but he's doing far too many for them not to be a driving trend. Some of these may seem quite minor but they lead to crashes all the time and people not checking their n/s mirrors have injured or killed countless cyclists and now scooterists so not really a minor fault. I'm the first to say that I would pick up faults myself on a test but I have driven over 3 million miles a only scratched one car in my blind spot so I hope that's not just been luck.
Interesting discussion at the end about drivers passing and then not practicing for years. That was my situation too. In Ireland you're a novice driver for two years after passing and not allowed to rent a car. Since I don't have friends or family that could put me on their insurance, I basically had to wait two years, then do refresher lessons and then practice in a rented car by myself.
"No mirrors before signaling" This is a weird one as in Finland we are specifically instructed to start signaling and then look at the mirrors before starting to switch lanes. I got specifically marked down for this as I looked first then started signaling. Signaling, glance and confirmation. I got my license around a year ago and watching this or thinking about the the still makes me feel sick.
That’s strange. In Sweden we have something called ”Blicken, pilen, filen”, which means that we are required to look into the mirrors before we start signaling.
@@ConquerDriving god bless you sir for all your videos Sir if you can please please make video about how can we move car if there mud on the road and the car manual transmission without tire slipped or car turn off please please please sir i hope you answer me
I passed by test in 1987 and I can honestly say that I’d probably fail on many of these things now. Especially not checking all the mirrors at the right time. My wife has had a licence since about the same time, but in the USA. She’s been here a few years and not wanted to take her UK test because we had a manual car. We’ve got an automatic now so she’s going to take some lessons to pass the UK test. This is going to be hard! It might be more lessons than we thought…
If she was a regular driver in the US, it shouldn't be too bad, especially if she can practice with you. I'm in the same boat and it was scary driving here at first (especially having not driven at all for a few years), but it comes back very quickly. So much of good driving is just experience and common sense -- it's definitely easier to adjust to a new environment than to learn from scratch. I certainly don't envy first-time drivers here!
He seemed way too distracted with talking to Richard and trying to crack jokes. He simply does not have the spatial awareness necessary to be a driver imho.
Many years ago, I passed my road test in NY State, USA at the age of 16. The entire road test lasted 2 minutes 30 seconds (it's usually much longer) and my mother, who had driven me to the test area, thought I had done something really bad and failed. The examiner told her that I had done all required maneuvers perfectly, and wished me well. It's unusual for the examiner to tell you whether you passed or failed; you usually get that notice in the mail.
@@ConquerDriving I'm in Texas, USA, and was notified immediately after the test that I had passed. All I did was parallel park and drive through a quiet neighborhood.
@@youraveragegamer8832 Thats all you guys have to do?? I suppose you dont have roundabout and narrow lanes with on street parking to deal with like us.
What an absolutely charming man. Very witty and self-deprecating, and very brave to let other people see (and judge!) his driving, but wanting to see how his driving is and looking to improve so that he’s a better and safer road user is just awesome. Good for him!
Enlightening. Almost all drivers develop bad habits but since we never get retested, few actually care enough to acknowledge or correct them. I have long believed that we should all get re-tested regularly, maybe every 5 years & this video confirms my view. It would create more demand for driving instructors & examiners, but roads will be safer & clearer.
bunch of nonsense, test every 5 years with the current climax where examiners are always on strike and barely you are able to find any driving test available, are you out of your mind?
@@masterbowler1630 The system would obviously need to be expanded to cope. I did explain that quite clearly. Your issue is the possibility of losing your licence.
I did hear something about an 87 year old who asked the AA to have a "test" to make sure she was able to drive cause she lives in the country. It wasn't an actual driving test it was just going out for a drive to make sure she wasn't a danger.
@@TheRip72 the thing is, most accidents are caused by a minority of people who are either reckless or plain stupid. rules of the road obviously still apply when you’ve passed but there’s definitely a different culture and the way you drive is not the same day to day as it is on a test. I don’t think 5 year retests would be practical or feasible but maybe when you reach a certain age it becomes a more regular requirement
The inside lane thing isn't complicated. You should only be in the right hand land if you are 1) overtaking or 2) imminently about to turn right and you move over when clear when you're close to the junction not 1 mile before. I'm with the examiners on this, far too many stuck in lanes they shouldn't be on and not overtaking. That also means don't do the same speed as the car to your left, either overtake or pull in.
One of the main conclusions I made from watching these videos is that you have to rotate your head like a monkey by constantly checking the mirrors. And you will never return to this practice again after you pass your driving test.
I like the way you find new ways of helping us after so many videos that covered pretty much everything possible...but still...I was wondering if you could make a video about, well, let's say car awareness. Having to avoid an obstacle close to the wing mirror is different from escaping one close to the back of the car, for example. Those little things and tricks can be helpful in situations where our brain tends to complicate what's simple. Or maybe you already made one of those I didn't catch. In any way, thank you so much for your work. Sometimes I find myself singing 'only a fool breaks the 3 second rule' on the highway 😊
love these videos. Just wanted to say thanks, been watching your channel since i started learning in mid November and a passed my test first time 10 days ago, I spent ages watching these videos because you make them entertaining and really helpful. Going to keep watching them though as I still cant get enough aha
Great video guys, loved it. Think some of the driving errors were nerves, as in mirrors checks got a little better, through out the video, but fair play to Andrew , I'm not sure I'd want my driving analysed on camera lol.. but may have a private lesson to see what my driving is like now
Just want to say thank you, Richard, for your guidance and polite way to teach people. I was watching only your videos and passed my test yesterday. Your content is very helpful. Again thank you❤
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who has what I call my "mock test straight face"...which I have to hold even when they are grinding my clutch. I totally feel your pain Richard!🤣😂👌
Great video! Thanks so much for sharing this, would love more mocks with experienced drivers! I passed my test just over a year ago so probably around the same time so this makes me feel a lot better about my driving 😅
@@mariemccann5895 I can honestly say I am a lot more skilled but to be fair to him if he's not had much experience driving a manual since he passed I sort of get some of the issues. I'm lucky I had a car to drive sharing with my husband who is already experienced helping me even more become a better driver 😊
@@nataliedebiase5089 The gears were the least of his problems. Dangerous positioning and lack of observation is not excusable. He is unfit to be on the road.
@@mariemccann5895 yeah I see what you mean, the basic routines have been drilled in to me. He definitely needs a couple of refresher lessons, good luck to him x
I'm doing driving school now in Romania, it's interesting to see the differences between countries I can say that we have a lot more harsh rules on some stuff -On overtaking, when you overtake the parked cars you need to continue signaling while overtaking -You also can't pass a junction while in the opposite lane you need to pass it in the correct lane -Crossing the middle line into the opposite lane while turning is marked against you because you didn't stay in your lane. -The marks against you can count more than once. -There is no such thing as signaling to benefit others, if you're alone in your car in your basement on a deserted island you need to signal. -A beginner has a speed limit that is 20 km/h smaller than usual ones outside of the city -If I would pass that closely to vehicles while on the test I would get kicked out of the car as failed. -You can't wave signal thank you or other things in RO since it's not part of the legislation the police officer would count it as confusing the other traffic participants - While in the test we don't use GPS, the Police officer tells you where to go and they are well known for trying to trick you into doing mistakes (like directing you to turn into bad one way roads).
My test over 30 years ago lasted about 20 mins but felt like an eternity. There was no conversation between me and the examiner except his instructions. I passed first time which surprised me because I thought I’d failed. It was my reverse park I knew I was gonna hit the kerb so I pulled out and started it again. After that I thought I’d failed I continued driving and on with the test. After the test the examiner said you thought you’d failed after the reverse park didn’t you? I said yes I had he said I could tell because you’re driving was smoother.
I passed 3 years ago well 3 and a half years ago. I have kept upto date with doing everything right and I still watch mock tests and driving videos til this day. After 3 years I started teaching my wife and got her to the point i thought she ready for test. We booked test for 10 weeks away and then wanted to find a driving instructor for last few weeks to make sure i am rigt and have taught her properly and get rid of any bad habits I may have given her. During the first lesson instructor said she is pretty much perfect and to move up the test. I would love to do one of your mock tests to make sure my driving is as good as I think it is.
@@SarcasticPlotRecapswhy bother learning to drive at all if you havn’t used your license in five years since passing? I get that it’s better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it, but just seems a little misjudged.
@@ciaran1449 Cos I came into some money so I bought a intensive course and then passed, but I didnt need to drive anywhere and didnt have a car. Now I have my licence and a car so I just poodle about to the shops every now and then etc and for emergencies.
I'm so glad that I learned to drive at 22 instead of 17 because if I had've done so at 17, I wouldn't have been able to drive for, well, 5 years. I would've become one of those licence holders who've forgotten how to drive
That's a very fair reason but you know, if you were to take learn at 17 and not drive for 5 years, you could take refresher lessons before driving on your own.
Useful but uncomfortable viewing! Reminds me how badly I would fail if I had to be retested, which isn't pleasant to contemplate. I'm a safe driver - I give way, don't steal priority, don't run lights, don't straddle lanes - but not a good one: I ride the clutch too much and don't religiously check my mirrors if I know there's no-one there. I'll try to change. Having said that, some of the minors are so ridiculous it's amazing anyone could pass: marked down for not exceeding thirty down that lane? I know I'd be in no hurry on a road like that if I hadn't driven there before. Marked down for doing 60 on a dual carriageway when there's no-one around? What.
@@PinguPenguin-BMWM Thanks, but to be a really good driver I think I would have to know how the machinery all works and how to get the best out of it. At the moment I just do what works for me, and if possible for other road users, but I think I need to know what's best for the car as well!
very interesting and well-documented mock test (like the other ones). Driving takes, like everything, practice, practice, practice. I am from Italy and I'll say that, if on one side, I am amazed by the professionality of the examiners (I suppose they more or less all behave like Richard) and by the impressive accuracy of the evaluation system compared to here; on the other, I actually wonder how this guy could pass such thorough of a test, considering all the minor and serious faults he committed (I don't mean to offend😅)
It looks like a magic roundabout we have quite a few - they work well but you need to treat each one as a separate roundabout - fun really you can go round the ‘big’ roundabout either way!
What an excellent question at the end. I've been driving for nearly 20 years and I've done thousands of miles a month in dozens of different types of vehicle, and I took my motorcycle test last year (no faults!) but I still think I'd fail a test if I took one. I'd honestly love to try it to find out but don't really have the money to find out.
When I clicked on this video I was sure it was ibxtoycat, but it not being mentioned in the first three minutes started to gaslight me into thinking that this is some random person that just really looks like ibxtoycat XD
This style of video was more intriguing than I thought. I'm closing on 50 years old and I took my license when I was 18. However, I recently took the trailer test and I was surprised at some of the things the examiner commented on. So I've been very self conscious of my driving since then and I've thought back on how much of my driving "career" i could've spent becoming a better driver. This channel will help me digest this. A bonus is that my own kids are at the age when drivers license is a topic. So, it will also help me prepare them when we're practice driving, but also I will have better habits as they're starting to pay more attention to my driving and trying to learn.
