Absolutely.

Glad you found them useful 🙏

It's a difficult question to answer, because you are expected to drive to the road and traffic conditions. IF you are holding up traffic by driving too cautiously, you would potentially get a SERIOUS fault. If you have a concern about this, I'd say to the examiner, 'I know it's a NSL road here, but I'm taking it a little bit slower due to the rain/lack of vision/pot holes...' that way, they would know you know what you're doing 👍 doing a video on this is a superb idea. Thank you. I'll try to get it done ASAP

@@RioDrivingSchool I use to watch your video’s for the routes now it’s more about watching the skills of the learners and how you correct them. Literally had a bad mock test today on this very route and I felt like I’m pressured to go higher gears and it makes me forget all other things I should be aware of. I think I’m the worst driver ever being told off*. Honestly I feel bad always commenting because I try to communicate to the instructor about these things and I’m told off more. I feel rushed on mock test routes especially today but thank you for the tip I will mention this for the test coming up if they chose this route. But your explanation makes allot of sense. Thanks and keep up the amazing vids Paul.

Where are you based?

@@RioDrivingSchool Walsall

I have a few Instructors over there who might be able to help you out if you need a fresh pair of eyes on you 👍

Watch the one she did in Lichfield. 🤣👍

Yes! She passed first time!! Zero faults!! 🙏

@@RioDrivingSchool Amazing! Chuffed for her - she is fun. :) Is Lichfield normally busy in the morning at 8am?

@@MH-ef7oj anywhere sill be busy at 8am. Think of kids going to school and people getting to work. Best avoided if possible, but certainly OK if you're a confident driver!

@@RioDrivingSchool I am just thinking, as it's half term then should be less busier? I am keeping my fingers crossed - thank you.

@MH-ef7oj definitely reduced traffic. I hope you've experienced heavy traffic flow, just in case 😉👍

You have to STOP the car at the line. All 4 wheels must stop. You do not have to apply the hand brake or select Neutral.

He was fully committed when he saw the car approach, and could only pull over when there was space to do so. No fault recorded. 👍

Congratulations 🎊 I am very pleased for you! 🙏

When an examiner asks you to oull over you can take your time and find a suitable location. In this particular case, I would of travelled further up the road, past the junction on the right.

@@RioDrivingSchool​​⁠ 7:14 shes turned into the junction on the right but where specifically is it allowed for your to pull over

@zedzino11 at 7.14 as you say, she has turned right on to Eastern Avenue. An examiner would not be asking you to pull over there.

⁠@@RioDrivingSchool I understand what you mean now I realised that its not a place to pull over but would this road at 11:06 would that be a good time to pull over to the left? Because you said when its safe to do so because this is a quiet road would it be ideal to pull over there? Also, could you add timestamps for major and minor faults in the description or on the video and can the explanation’s that are on the screen can they be added to the description. I personally think it would help. Thanks

Thank you! 👍

Awww bless you. That comment has made my day already. Thank you 😊

Hello Joel, if the lights are on red, you stop at the first stop line just as I did on the video at 24.28. This is the correct procedure. To stop before the cycle lane would not be correct and would cause a confusion, possibly a crash, because other road users would not expect you to stop early. Hope this is what you mean, and I haven't misunderstood your question. Interesting one, that! Best wishes

Keep trying! Stay focused. Success is bound to come. Well-done getting a fast turnaround on your test re-booking 👌

@@RioDrivingSchool thank you 🙏 luckily I found a cancellation. Instructor said if not for that speed issue I’d have passed but he did also say I left the test centre too quick but didn’t elaborate. Now I left the centre the road was empty and I turned and got up to 60 pretty immediate am I thinking this is wrong surely if I came out slower and then sped up gradually I’d be a danger to anyone coming through the road at 60 behind me? Any advice appreciated I love you videos!

Thank you for saying that. 🤜🤛

Glad you enjoyed it

Awwwww!! Bravo!! 👏👏👏👏👌

Quite simply, stop at the stop line, right at the end of the light coloured (sandy) road surface. That is an anti skid surface. You'll also see this very faded solid line at the end of the zig zag lines along the LHS of the road.

I would not normally ever say something like this, but... get yourself a new instructor! Simply looking in your mirrors will not tell you if it's safe to pull away. There are areas we cannot see until we turn our head and look over our shoulder.

@@RioDrivingSchool sorry my fault I forgot to specify 🤦‍♀️when your joining a dual carriageway is it necessary??

@oliviapreece826 Yes, I would definitely do this, especially if it is a multi-lane dual carriageway. Depending upon the angle at which you are joining the carriageway, your mirrors will not tell you what is going on. What if a vehicle in lane 2 or 3 is moving back to Lane 1? You would not be able to see this at all from any position along the slip road...

Thank you 😁

Hello Manny, good luck with your driving test. Here's a link to some of the official routes. Obviously, ignore the Lichfield ones and direct your attention to Featherstone 😁 czcams.com/play/PLepa6Q37c3AoJTcl_EEGlO9nW3wBdx9Qn.html&si=ee6iafVwToTPgvlI

Begin studying all these test routes! Good luck!

@@RioDrivingSchool passed my test thank you for all the videos very helpful

@zenoplays5083 congratulations 🎊 very well done!!! 🙏

Coasting is when the clutch is down or when the gear is I'm Neautral whilst the car is still in motion. Potentially dangerous for a number of reasons.

The RH lane of what? A dual carriageway? If so, move to the left side. If it's a roundabout, go in any safe direction and wait for the examiner to help out. You could even go all the way around the roundabout and exit toward the exit you originally needed. (Full circle)👍

Congratulations 🎊 I am very happy for you!! 😊

Drop your speed until you see a repeater sign. It is better to be penalised a little for 'appropriate progress' than exceeding the speed limit (a fail).

Thank you for your compliment. Narrow lanes and higher speeds aren't a favourite for many, but it's a skill that needs developing, so know when to go faster and when to ease off and position properly. Keep at it. With practice comes confidence 😊

Congratulations on your pass! Tell me, have you had a need to do a parallel park, yet? I struggled with them, and after I passed I didn't do one for years!! 🤣

I just watched it again, too - give it a woggle!?! 🤣🤣🤣 yes, we will definitely be revisiting things soon. Best wishes!

Have you spotted anything in common with all your attempts? Think carefully.

Best of luck 👍 keep studying and practising; success is bound to come.

Absolutely 💯

1. Correct. 2. No. Don't do it. If it causes another road user to make a decision they shouldn't have to make it could be a problem. 3. Yes. Take full advantage of it. Proceed with caution.

Driving forward in to a bay.

Congratulations 🎊 👏

Oh wow! Congratulations, and thank you for telling me. I am thrilled that you found this content useful. Stay safe on the road 🤜🤛

You'd be very welcome to hang out with us here 🤜🤛

@@RioDrivingSchool do you do mock tests for part 2 for non pupils of yours? I'm in Nottingham

@wheretonowlilu regrettably, I do not have time to travel up there to meet with you. I wish I could. 😞 feel free to message me with any questions or concerns about your examination.

Signal R on the approach to the roundabout and then switch to a left signal when you are half way past the exit before the one you want.

Watch this video demo, particularly from 2m30s czcams.com/video/waDzbPTn47Y/video.htmlsi=PdKsVbtj0pcK2ckY

Thank you so much@@RioDrivingSchool

@@user-vk6lz1mk6j it's a pleasure 🙏

Effective observations are always necessary. That means all-around checks.

and what do u suggest featherstone or lichfield? plz help

Lichfield tends to have a higher test pass percentage overall. However, if you've already failed x3 times, I'd look more deeply at your driving. Make sure you get plenty of help; this test is not easy to pass without plenty of practice. Mock tests are definitely recommended!

Congratulations Oliver! I am delighted that you found these videos useful to you 🤜🤛
