INSTRUCTOR FAILS ADVANCED DRIVING TEST (ADI PART 2 TEST) 

Thank you!! I’m very happy you liked it 😊

Yes, I enjoyed the video too. Great banter together with loads of info and demonstration of how an instructor should be questioning a client...loads of Q & A.

Thank you Jack! 😊

I’m happy you found it useful! I think I got a message from you on Instagram. I will be in touch soon!

Josh is amazing! I love his stuff… He’ll be very happy to hear that. 😊

I’m glad you found it useful!! Good luck with your part 2! Let us know how you get on. More content coming soon…

Very true! We all make mistakes it’s part of the course. Thank you for your comment! 😊

I’m very happy that you found it useful!!!😊

I’m glad you liked it. Yes it is for PDI’s so I couldn’t let much go. It depends on where he’s missing them it as to if it’s an issue. Thank you for all your comments!

Happy you liked it!! Need any tips feel free to ask. Good luck when your time comes 👍

Whereabouts are you doing it?

@@GetWheelDriving in cardiff, got to drive from shropshire/staffordshire boarder.. test is at half 11 👀

Happy you liked it! 😊

It sounded like a tall story to me thx for clarifying! 😝

@@GetWheelDriving you’re welcome! 1 thing I hate is a busy dual carriageway

You’re welcome! 🙌

Great to have you along! More content is coming 👍😊

😊🤗 thank you Nadia Stars!!

Yes they do Nicholas.To be fair Josh had no preparation time for a serious part 2 test and as you can see from the vid he was being distracted a lot. But In order for it to have some educational benefit I marked it as if it was a real mock. He was a great sport all in all. Nerves never go away and mistakes will always be made no matter how good you are. As you say we are all only human. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!!

Never a bad idea to try something new and in a different location! Keep calm and carry on 🙌

⁠@@GetWheelDrivingHi I hope your well. I have been watching your you tube videos which are really helpful and I have my adi part 2 at the end of August. I wondered if it would be possible to book a mock test lesson with you if you do them at all! Are you in Stoke! I’m in Nottingham. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you. Daz.

Ha! Yes he struggled slightly but I’m sure he was putting it on a bit 😝

Good luck!!! You’ve got this. I hope you’re putting in the practise. Let me know how it goes.👍

Very nice!!! Congratulations! 🎉 😊

Part 2? Congratulations!!! 🙌

Thank you 😏

I know how you feel! Stay focused. Keep reading the road and you’ll be fine. Good luck! Let us know how it goes 🙏

@@GetWheelDriving hey guys had my part 2 test today 😪 and am happy to announce I PASSED 🥳 with 2 minors. Thanks for the advice in videos keep them coming as i am a big fan of them 👍

@@assamqasim8846 Amazing result!!! Enjoy the moment it’s a great feeling… Now the real work begins 😊 Feel free to ask me any questions you may have regarding part 3: I do have content in the pipeline that will help. For now though 🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏

@@GetWheelDriving Oh i will be 😊. Thank you I really appreciate it. 👍

Thank you I hope you find it entertaining as well as educational. Good luck with your part 3. Are you a part of Josh’s discord chat? Lots of PDI’s on there plus weekly discussions and learning points. Distraction? Yes I highly recommend it and I sell it on the basis that the driving test itself is a huge distraction but you make a very good point about post test and radio on and friends gabbling etc. Congratulations on your student passing too!

Good luck with your test!! Commentary drive is one of the biggest tips you can get. You’re going to need to regardless in part 3. More content will be coming surrounding part 2 and 3 but it’s yet to be filmed, however the part 2 and a normal driving test are actually marked the same way. You’re just expected to drive in a professional manner, hence commentary is so much more important. This vid does cover following distance and progress drive which can be banana skins on a part 2. Make sure you know your show me tell me questions inside and out. Happy to answer any questions you have. I hope that helps!

@@GetWheelDriving I think it’s just the never kicking in as the test gets closer I’ll have a look at the show me tell me questions just to be on the safe side thanks for the help I’ll be looking forward to your videos

@@hasnainmahmood8628 you’ll be fine. Practise sustaining a high level drive for half an hour extending to an hour. Always analyse your drive and base your analysis on RISK. That’s how it’s marked. Could you have done it differently etc.. keep this dialogue open. Let me know how your test goes!

A lot of it was tongue in cheek. It was after all just a RU-vid vid. However I marked it as if it was a real mock part 2. Very happy you like it! 😊

I’m glad you liked it!! Sorry to hear about the fail but by the sounds of it you’re doing all the right stuff to smash it next time! Yes be careful of getting too relaxed.

@@GetWheelDriving was wondering your opinion... my 1st PART 2 last week said I need to show more eco driving style (although my car is 2008 vauchall corsa so doesn't have start stop/cruise control ) so I know this mean less gear changing (block gear changing)would you think they want to see moving up through the gears 2 straight to 4? I do block gear down 5th to 3rd but of course in my car, it hasn't sadly got the oomph of a modern car!! The idea I get from examiner was that I work up through the gears systematically but this isn't eco !?!?! My husband reminded me moving off on incline on a hill pulling out , I can do this straight on 2nd gear which I didn't do on my test which I have practised now. Thanks in advance for your reply Holly (North devon)

Hi Holly did you pass your part 2 or did the eco driving cause a problem?

@@nizhatnaheed3976 hi yes I was told I wasn't eco driving actually, I sat the test in an old style corsa but it is a car I am comfortable in. I have it rebooked for July (lack of availability where I am in South west) so time to wait but also to prepare. I've also been told 2 different things regarding slowing down: A local nstructor told me this: Engine breaking using the gears whilst syncing speed with the brake An ordit trainer from RED told me to do this : or block changing when slowing down for eg gear 4 Straight to 1st ?? Please can you help ? Holly

Great to hear Thomas! Welcome aboard. More content part 2, part 3 incoming. The car is a Ford Focus. Feel free to ask questions!

Hi Colin - The journey begins! Good luck with your training. Make sure you practise loads. The training is just the tip of the iceberg. Yes a shoulder glance is definitely recommended, and as you say a glance not a prolonged stare. You definitely have the experience. More content is in the pipeline… let us know how you get on. If you have questions please feel free to ask.

I'm doing my part 2 also, quick question when you stop at lights, would you put your car into park and handbrake on if you are there for a long time.

@@jaymais good question no straight answer though. The examiner cares mainly about control so handbrake is not an essential, however if you’re start stop is activated by putting the vehicle in neural or park then yes I would to make sure I fall in line with eco safe driving. Good luck with the part 2 let me know how you get on!

@@GetWheelDriving Thank you. This video was brilliant. Keep it up.

I’m sorry to hear you didn’t get the result but you have an opportunity to now focus on what went wrong. Remember the whole point of the part 2 is to set the standard to which you’ll be teaching/coaching part 3. I believe in you. Go get it done! 🙌

@@GetWheelDriving Thanks 😊

Hi yes. Contact me through Instagram. Send me a DM we can go from there. You should links on my bio.

No you haven’t! Josh is great. This is just a RU-vid vid and he was kind of thrown into a part 2 with zero prep. The training is just the top of the iceberg. It’s all about private practise and self analysis… you’ll smash it. There is a wealth of information out there now too. More part 2 stuff coming in the near future.

@@GetWheelDriving yep Josh is great, the video was great and frightening all at the same time. I must remember , mirror signal and not signal mirror, yes I have been doing it wrong for 37 years. This is at present my first task. Boy oh boy.

In a part 2 test it’s one of the show me questions. Regarding a regular driving test, I can’t see why not it’s part of the car.

Following distance in normal conditions is 2 seconds - he just stayed within that distance for a bit too long. In a mock you’d drum that into a PDI to make sure they don’t make a silly mistake with it on a part 2. Been a long time since I watched that vid.

😝 I like that!! Good point

@@GetWheelDriving - I wrote that comment right at the beginning before the "test" had begun... After watching the video and seeing how the distraction of you two clowning around led to so many faults, I rest my case. A really enjoyable video. I'm glad that I watched it. Thanks for posting. I am currently planning on starting my PDI/ADI training and I'm watching lots of "part two" videos and forming a strategy for how to improve my standards. This is the first video that I've seen which talks of "commentary driving" but yesterday, I said to my wife (who does not currently have a UK licence) that I will do what I do when flying - verbalise my procedures - I told her that she may find it annoying but that it will help me and if she pays attention, it should help her for when she comes to training for her own UK licence. My next step is to hunt out the link for the Discord server mentioned at the end of the video.

Hi Aram - feel free to contact me through Instagram and we can talk about it if you like.

Did you pass second time.. Those were bullshit reasons for failing.. Although observation is number one reason..

It’s difficult to answer without seeing it however. I would suggest following this thought process. Applying the correct signal even if it’s unnecessary doesn’t impact anyone so it’s not noteworthy as in no fault. Not applying the signal when someone can benefit does have an impact on other drivers and therefore is a fault. So by not applying the signal would that impact anyone? Would anyone benefit? You will then find your answer… I really hope that helps!!

Oh and good luck on your part 2!!!! Go get it done!! 👍😃

If you go the wrong way safely then usually it’s no fault. It’s possible to get an awareness and planning driver fault but not a serious.

You can but if the road is open you would be expected to be driving the speed limit or close to it.

It is possible to chat all the way through we are all different when it comes to remaining focused but you do need to be careful you don’t make a silly mistake because of it. EV sounds like a good option or any automatic. Thank you for your advice Nick!

3 faults? Please highlight time codes would love to discuss. Shoulder check for change of speed? Again timecode if you have time. Speeding would depend on how much and for how long as to whether it would be an instant fail. I didn’t disagree on camera when he said 26mph in a 20 but In Reality that is way too much…I’m glad you liked it.

@@GetWheelDriving Are you sitting comfortably. Firstly I have no idea what a part 2 is so I do not want to seem like a dick my opinions may be invalid. I am in know way criticising your standards of expertise. My opinions come from the accrued knowledge of friends with 100 collective years of driving. They are cruel masters. So my inquisitions are merely observations relating to points I myself have been observe as driving mistakes. There experience includes. A police interceptor, Retired armed officer retired dog officer & 40 year veteran in the ambulance service + driving instructor + Advanced driving instructor. Lastly a second advanced driving instructor. I myself am training to be an advanced driving instructor for Yorkshire. secondly perspective and 3D awareness is almost totally absent when watching a video so...Things in the mirror may be closer then they seem. (Nurd joke) I spend this time as it helps me improve. Every days a school day. 1) Excessive use of Gesticulation numerous minor faults for removing hands from the wheel almost continuously. 2) Use a signal only when someone will benefit from it. Indicate when appropriate. 419Secs 434 secs (unless a car was behind him) no need for indication. The parked cars were not live. 3) 3 mirror check and shoulder check right should be completed at all changes of speed (Subject to). 436 secs. This should be done well before the gates. both entry and departure. 4) 516 secs Hands too high on the steering wheel thumbs should be positioned upwards not internally wrapped. Avoid handle bar steering even though it is allowed to 12 o'clock as stated in road craft. Hands passing beyond 12 o'clock on numerous occasions 613_3450 secs etc. 5) Body steering at 611secs and leaning into corners, he is not on a motorbike. 6) Dangerous approach to the pedestrian at 617 he should have been offside as she was drifting. A good time to position the hand over the horn to show that you are aware of its use. 7) 624 position of safety view and stability too close to the learner driver they could have bunny hopped the junction etc. the centre lane was clear to straddle. 8) 645 zero should check for road on right entry to junction. Blind driving right mirror is insufficient. Hands again crossing the 12 o'clock position. 9) 700 Insufficient distance from the scaffold waggon workers are know to just step out without observation. 10) 3 in a bed at 713 you need 1.5m x 3 to pass this space dangerous manoeuvrer. Immediately into second offence as the camera cut. 11) All 3 and a shoulder check absent at 712sec 12) Failed to open the window at 820 on the reverse. No use of auditory senses. My Instructor just retuned from accident with an 80 year old under the car. Only a 10 mile and hour impact but did not here this happened in a similer situation. 13) 1135 Poor forward observation on crossing. I.P.S.G.A and all that jazz. 14) 1229 Entry to roundabout too fast for black car. He should have held back and sat behind with more stopping distance. 15) 1728 no noticeable nearside shoulder check at left turns on egress from roundabouts. 16) 1326 I have had it drilled into me that you should be handbrake on and in neutral. You could have a heart attack and off you go while your passed out. Although they have no problems with both hands off the steering wheel when the vehicle is stationary and in neutral and the handbrake on as it is a good opportunity to rest the muscles. The indicator should not have been on and should have been cancelled if stationary for more than a few seconds. The indicator is then reignited on moving forward. Only the first 4 cars need to indicate at a junction. I believe the indicator was also applied before the side junction. 17) 2133 8 point check and secondary shoulder when ever setting off from kerb edge and stops such as this. 18) 2220 failed to SLAP on the G.O.R. Not making progress. Position of safety view and stability away form the land-rover he had know idea what was behind it. 'Position of advantage' 19) 2251 Use the full width of the road when available wild animals and hazards could egress the verge. Off siding is OK If the instructor believes you have the ability although it is classed as not taught. It is part of the 5 S's That little bit of sparkle. If he was off siding he would have had an extended LP at 2258 I would have been asked why I am travelling so slow. They want a spirited drive as close to the limit as possible while safe and able to stop at my side of the road in the distance I can see. 20) 2850 Sitting in the blind spot for way too long. Could have impeded the van moving into lane 1 of 3 21) 2910 There is no such thing as an overtaking lane. It would be acceptable to flash this driver to inform them that you were there and they were impeding your progress. 22) Poor acceleration sense at 3110. Zero 3 mirrors and shoulder check. 23) 3324 I agree with all points. 24) 3441 worrying length of time making eye contact instead of forward observation. Never look at your passengers in a moving car. This is just what came to hand as I was watching. Well I dont watch I analyse as I love to improve and wish to be a great tutor. Respect to all.

That’s incredibly long list… and will take me a while to get through it but I like your approach. A part 2 test is the driving test that a driving instructor needs to pass in order to proceed to a part 3 test (instructor ability test) I would need to run through the vid and at this present time, considering the list, I don’t have the time right now but I will say I’m incredibly impressed! A driving test is marked in the basis of risk. Falling into 4 categories (not note worthy, low risk, medium risk and high risk) A part 2 is not the highest test in the land but just for one example, holding the steering wheel. Yes there are recommended methods and a PDI (potential driving instructor) should demonstrate the recommended method however as long as competence of control is demonstrated the rest is not considered note worthy. Again I’m incredibly impressed with your knowledge and when I have more time I will read your notes relating to the specific time codes. Thank you for taking the extensive time to put together your assessment 😊

​@@GetWheelDriving Every word is only written to help. As you know once a level of skill is reached it becomes opinion based on experience. A good example of this would be I love to drive down a road nr to myself and enjoy the long flowing bends that is littered with CHAOS signs and warnings. I say to my self what's it all about this plethora of signs distracting me. The road is a lovely. Where my friend who is a police responder avoids it as he can see dead bodies, fatalities. dismemberment and pain every few hundred meters. One of his visions is of a young female officer walking towards him with a frozen face and someone's leg in her arms saying "what do I do with this". On close inspection of the Yorkshire walls they have scrapes and holes punched through both repaired and unrepaired this tends to be lost by the odd old flower tribute tied to a static object. His experience is very different to mine. Its a matter of perspective. It is the case that most of these accidents were due to excess speed and poor driving technique (There are people around here who like to race each other in their cars with tinted front window etc) Its a fatal example of the Dunning & Kruger effect in full flow. All I am saying is this the more experience you have the further into the future your vision can extend. We have people with skill because they stand on the shoulders of those who came before them. Only the ignorant and the demon named Hubris ignores their words. Lastly I genuinely believe that speed is not a factor in an accident this all relates to context and skill. Many should never speed but many could or do with a shield of knowledge and experience protecting them. Please feel free to use anything I have written to help others. I am also able to type quickly so some time say too much. Have a lovely day and take your time. Quote) A part 2 is not the highest test in the land but just for one example, holding the steering wheel. Yes there are recommended methods and a PDI (potential driving instructor) should demonstrate the recommended method however as long as competence of control is demonstrated the rest is not considered note worthy. Response) Firstly we can not use gesticulation, pick up voice tone or be privy to eye contact when reading an individuals reply to an online conversation. Just know that every word is nothing more than light hearted and inquisitive friendly interaction. On reply Quote) A part 2 it states in Road Craft 'that the hand should not pass 12 o'clock' as it puts your arm Infront of a possible airbag deployment. Airbag deployment is very critical and they are not designed to explode with your arm across the point of explosive discharge. To keep it simple I would say that competence and control is not demonstrated. (The quality of being adequately or well qualified physically and intellectually). When one fails to keep the arms from passing the 12 o'clock safety position. Again I learn through dialogue and the interaction of ideas fact and banter. I find that nothing improves ones knowledge than someone questioning what you know as reality. Every days a school day but most people dont enjoy conversation and learning anymore. With out becoming too political I think this has to do with taught behaviour by top one percent. Divide & Conquer. Shoulder to shoulder is a much better way of stepping forward into the unknown.

Yes you can! It’s the drive that counts… Have you been practising?

@@GetWheelDriving oh that’s good to hear as I read somewhere that you can’t. Maybe it’s changed recently. Yes I find it easier to say what I’m doing, I feel it’d provide the examiner with rationale behind what I’m doing too?

A commentary drive is not part of the test but I can’t see why it would be an issue using it to concentrate. If you’re unsure you can always ask the examiner if it would be a problem. No matter what you’re saying though the examiner is just watching how you drive. You could be saying one thing but doing the opposite. So make sure the drive is up to scratch.

Aaaaah 😝you’ll smash it. Keep practising. Some good learning points in this vid even though we had fun shooting it. Good luck!! Plus have you joined Josh’s discord?

Yes it would be. They’re actually marked the same way. Thank you for your comments Sir!

@@GetWheelDriving oh yeah I had one recently stung a bit 🙈

It always does!
