Lisa Just passed her driving test in Netherlands and is in London on holiday. It's her first time driving on the left! I'll take her on a test route in Barking.
It's so weird to watch myself like this😆 But thank you very much for the nice experience and test/lesson, apart from the nerves I enjoyed it very much!😂 ❤ Btw I hear myself yapping about the insurance (and my dad just watched it and explained some more about it…) as its quite difficult to explain and I just want to clarify in short, I have insurance but its on my parents ‘account’, if I pay it myself its more expensive. Its not that I don’t have it😆 Thanks for all the lovely comments💜
Yep its same here in the UK, your parents can have the main insurance Policy and they can add an Additional driver in the same insurance Policy. And since they have more experience, they most likely have NCD's and lower price premium. So adding you on won't be that bad. Here if you are 18-25 insurance is very expensive for a new driver. But if you are already old like 30+ and a new driver that just passed the test. The price premium is not as bad as one's aged 25 below. (i.e. a friend of mine who is 20 years of age and just passed their driving exam got a £2000 for a year's worth of insurance. Whilst someone else I know who also just passed but is 31 years old got £900 for a year, same company same premium insurance)
Hi Lisa, I don't think you showed any nerves at all. You were smooth and calm after no more than the first minute of this video, and I would be perfectly happy to be driven by a smooth and confident driver such as you (even without dual control). Good wishes for luck in your future driving wherever. In the UK, too many drivers who, once they have passed their test, appear the have the attitude "I have passed, so now I can drive as I like to get in front", which is very bad for the rest of us! Reality only kicks in when their insurance premiums increase significantly, are refused, or they are banned from driving following a serious accident!
Yes it really is! It also a kind of mock test as they know you can’t drive on your own yet and afterwards they give you feedback on what you can improve for your real test! The only thing is, if you fail your first test you have to do your manoeuvres again in your 2nd..
17:27 We used to have the manoeuvres reverse around a corner and turn in the road, usually engineered to be a three point turn, although sometimes the road was wide enough to u-turn. 😆 Which make up the same basic manoeuvres Lisa mentioned.
1:19 perfect question and a perfect answer because you did ask about Holland 😂 Don’t drive on the right in England 😅 Thank you Lisa for coming on.😮 Hope someday this summer i could take a mock test with Francis admin.😊 23:26 Francis with the commentary of what we can see ahead :)
In Germany we do the emergency stop as well! It's also considered a manoeuvre and we have to do three manoeuvres in total. Most people feel like the emergency stop is the easiest one (me included)
Omg I made a driving test with my friend in Germany (she’s a drivers instructor there) and she made one with me and somehow I managed to NOT get it and I lived in the UK at that time 🥲
So refreshing to see Lisa not milking the steering wheel (that push-pull that's taught in the UK). I wonder if it's the reason her moves are slick? I really hope this push-pull will be eliminated from the UK standards soon. 😊
@@Eva-mp7xg it’s seen as the safest way to steer but personally I think it’s clunky and unnecessary and once people pass they don’t steer like that anymore
@@DrivingSchoolTV Yes, I totally agree that it's clunky and unnecessary, and that most ppl don't use it after their exam. Maybe we should get rid of this requirement and in exchange introduce a separate test for manoeuvres (it's a really great idea from the NL) 😊
I'm starting to do maneuvers but struggling when reversing into a bay with what way to steer and the same with coming out of a bay after forward baypark any tips just to remember
@DrivingSchoolTV atleast now I know not everyone in NL love verstappen 😅 she got Carlos shirt! Also this is actually a nice video. Have people from different country drive in the UK. Maybe have someone from Spain or France next. Curious how they will rate the UK test and traffic conditions versus in their own country.
northern europe people & fluency in english language...well dear Francis you like easy win, I dare you to try a driving lesson with an italian guy, like me...just kidding, maybe keep up with the good work, love your smile & passion & energy

You did so well! Amazing rep for Dutch drivers 🤩

Nice drive, Lisa! 😊
doing a 2 part driving test for manoeuvres is a solid idea
Yes it really is! It also a kind of mock test as they know you can’t drive on your own yet and afterwards they give you feedback on what you can improve for your real test!
The only thing is, if you fail your first test you have to do your manoeuvres again in your 2nd..
Jesus Christ! Her driving standards are significantly higher than quite a few ‘experienced’ drivers native to our roads.
aah thank you so much!
it's because it's "harder" to make a license in europe with all the compulsory hours and shit
I also haven't parallel parked since I passed in January, why do i get the feeling I wouldn't be able to do it as smooth as that 😂
Great to see you again Francis and Lisa is a fantastic driver! I hope you enjoy your holiday in London Lisa! 🙃
Lisa was SO GOOD! Definitely a lot better than I would be on the other side of the road! Dutch driving standards must be GREAT!
thanks!
She did so so well 🙌🙌☺️☺️❤️❤️ xx
Super goed Lisa! ❤
Super Lisa!!❤
Thanks mama.💙
Smooth great watch francis

@@Laurasophiesmith german driving standards are soo strict do you remember what made you fail?
@@yousraj i think it was just the stress. I was unfocused and totally concentrated on not driving on the left side like in england
@@Laurasophiesmith oh yeah that‘s understandable
Even though I passed first time (4 minors) I think the Swedish system is good.
i LOVE her carlos sainz tshirt 😍
Me too! Smooooooth operator
Thank you so much! Yessss he's a smooottthhhhhhh operatooorrrrrr!

She really was slick! It’s not even a standard that needs to be taught in the test over here 🤷♂️
@@DrivingSchoolTV Really? So then why are the UK instructors teaching this technique?

@@T.K.9 hahaha Thanks! I enjoy almost every F1 driver! Max, Yuki, Lando, Valtteri, I can keep going!💪🏼😆
@@lisawensink6906oh woah! Haha Team Hamilton for me!
