Great empathy and sensitivity to the mindset and attitudes of Learner drivers. This is what sets your videos above others on YT. Keep it up.
Thank you.
True true. It's as if he is in the mind of the learner driver. He knows our doubts and fears and answers them accordingly with perfect illustrations.
@@beautyqueen9171 yep he’s great
true
You actually understanding the level of a new driver and having the mindset to help them improve. Totally respect to your style. This is another video I needed to see as I never got these explanations. Thank you!
9:17 the seething malice with which you said "idiot" gave me a real chuckle!
😄
The illustration was great and hilarious as well
Thank you!

What a relief to hear all my struggles validated! I feel a huge weight lift from my shoulders, relieved that what I go through is completely natural and I simply need more practice. The head camera is incredibly useful. The view through it is the most valuable part of the video. Thank you, Richard!
The headcam is really helpful! I get really nervous changing lanes so this was really helpful. I need to work on little turns of the wheel 😂
Thank you, I'll try and practise using it.
Hey man, I really, really appreciate these videos. I'm 31 years old and have a terrible anxiety disorder. I did some lessons when I was 18 but my anxiety got so bad I couldn't leave the house for well over a decade. Anyway, I'm really hoping to save up a little cash, do my theory and practical and buy a car. These videos have been invaluable to me. Thanks for using the headcam too - very helpful :D
Big thumbs up to you amigo, both on CZcams and in real life lol :)
Thanks very much! I hope you're successful with your plan to get a licence and some wheels! Good luck 🤞
@@ConquerDriving Thanks man, that's really very kind of you to say. If I was local I'd give you a shout in an instant (but I'll be sure to use your links for sponsorship!). Take care of yourself and thanks again.
Good luck Tuna :-) you'll get there ,best wishes xx
Good luck Tuna, rooting for you! Anxiety disorders are so hard, so brave of you to work on overcoming it!!
what an interesting story
I'm from South Africa and learnt so much from your CZcams videos. Keep up the good work!
I’m only 15, but I quite like watching your videos anyway. The head-camera provides an interesting insight. Cheers Richard! 👍
You're welcome, I'll work on the head cam.
Passed my test completely trained by you with zero faults! Thank you so much. You have done an amazing job!
( I used to drive in another country)
That's really great to hear! Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
I Just completed my driving test but I'm getting to learn more things from your videos. Good job
Congratulations on passing! It's good to know you're finding the videos helpful.
These are the best driving videos on CZcams helped me so much thanks man
I'm glad they are helping! Thank you.
The head cam is SO helpful! I could see both the rear mirror and side mirror, and it makes me feel like I am vicariously driving. I wonder what it’s like to change lanes in busy traffic though.
Very good point. A video in busy traffic is a good idea.
Your knowledge, experience and passion for driving really enables you to produce excellent instruction videos. Very much appreciated!
Thank you!
You always demonstrate very well.
Watching from Nairobi, Kenya.
Thank you!
Unafanya nini huku? -:D
Not everyone uses their brains, especially on thika road 😂
The centre mirror check information was very helpful. I have struggled to judge what’s a safe gap to get into on dual carriageways. Thank you
Got my test in 3 weeks lol these videos make me more confident
Me too and very scared
I'm happy to hear that, good luck with your test 🤞
How did you get a test ?
@@salafiyyah_m7698 they've opened some test centres in specific areas
Did you pass?
I'd love to see more of these kind of videos from you, where you are just driving and commenting on what you're doing. It's quite helpful and also entertaining.
I'll take that on board.
I'm from Singapore and your videos really helped me a lot! If only there are sure professional driving instructors like you sir over here... Thank you very much!
Some people learn quicker than the other which is true and positive thinking helps a lot, but I found very hard to feel confident enough to drive after completing a lot of lessons and I feel like I worry more than focusing what I could achieve. Whenever I watch your vidios, it really builds my confidence, thank you so much for your time and support, you are so good.
Try to enjoy the lesson, enjoy the driving. Don't think about how long it takes to learn.
Excellent video. You're an amazing teacher. My driving instructor tells me when to change lanes and tries to insist I take gaps I don't feel comfortable with and it makes me feel more anxious. You're very encouraging and it helps with developing good judgement and self confidence.
you are such a good teacher! also very understanding 🥺 thank u so much for the effort!! support from Malaysia 🇲🇾
Wish more instructors were as clear as you
Hello Conquer driving , just passed my driving test in a first go. After my husband hardwork and great lessons , I would like to thank you for your useful videos about roundabouts, manoeuvres. Keep it up 👍🏼
Congratulations! Enjoy your licence 😊
I have suggested your page to my friends who are going to start practical lessons. Your channel is absolutely doing fabulous job. Thank you so much for making learning driving easy for new drivers .
In Australia we are taught to ALWAYS check your blind spot before you change lanes, no matter what - mirror checks aren’t enough and if you failed to head check that would be marked as a fault. Mirrors just don’t show you everything and it only takes a half-second to check your blind spot as well.
Now getting back on to the road after 4 years; viewing these videos and learning much more than I did when i attended driving schools..thanks a mil🙏🏻
Love that you include a learners perspective of trying out new things and it is true, that getting anxious and overwhelmed because of an unfamiliar road or area that you've never driven on before is true. Especially when you have your attention diverted to a small little thing and you don't concentrate on driving is a bad habit for me and I've learned so much from your channel. Please keep up!!
Found your channel today and it’s amazing! Thank you for wearing a camera on your head and thank you for not focusing on passing the test like all other channels do. Your videos truly help. Sincere thank you!
have benefited much from your driving lessons of changing lanes.thanks.
Zambia western province.
I wouldn't have passed my driving test without your videos bro.
You are a great person for teaching change lane which is so important. Thanks.
Great instructor and a true psychologist!
I think the head camera is the only way to show things in reality, especially for this type of video. Well done on a clear explanation, verbal and visual
Hi Richard in rural areas there is no requirement for driving instructors to take you near a dual carriageway or motorway as the
driving test does not test your abilities for this. I believe it should be mandatory to elimate the daunting approach to a slip road
and joining fast moving traffic. These videos are great for novices and the experienced drivers. Thanks again.
Depends what test centre you use. The DVSA certainly expect instructors to teach this but the test isn't long enough to test it at many centres.
O my lord! your sense of humour is to the next level. It was informative at the same time very funny. Enjoyed this video to the fullest. Thanks for this amazing video. You are truly an amazing instructor. I passed my theory using your @theory 4 in 1 app. I recommended this app to many of my friends.
👏👏👏 Your videos helping me a lot! I am not a native speaker but you speaking syle makes it things too much easier. Thanks a lot for that!
Head camera was really helpful especially as you explain your manoeuvres. Love your vids, so glad I found them on here!! Thank you very much : )
Developing your own skills and your own judgment is so true. When I was first starting to drive with my mom we were at an intersection. I had right of way but there was a cyclist on my right. I thought they were coming quite fast so I waited for them. My mom was like what are you doing? Why didn't you go? Well I didn't feel comfortable going so I didn't go. In retrospect I had plenty of time but I don't regret my decision because it was a learning moment. Then a couple weeks later I'm trying to turn left but there's a car in the opposite lane so I should give way (driving on the right here). But I noticed the car was mid turn and still pretty far away. I made a quick turn and it felt comfortable. But my mom was freaking out saying I shouldn't have gone. Looking back I still think it was safe so no regrets since I didn't rush the decision.
This was really helpful. I lost so much confidence driving that I stopped.
Hey Richard, thank you so much for all the positive motivation in the video. I really need to hear that as a new driver learning how to drive on the highway as my driving instructor doesn't give me any of that. I've been practicing for a bit, but this one highway I've got to drive on is really busy and I get nervous still on it. The last time I was on it I froze because I couldn't figure out when to change lanes as there were so many cars in the next lane over. I'm really grateful for your advice and sensitivity to new drivers, thank you so much ❤
Again your the instructor ever, very clear explanations, and I like your examples.
Thank you!
I don't know how to drive but watching you makes me feel like I have been driving for years your an amazing instructor
Hello Richard, Thank you SO VERY MUCH, You have mentioned very sensitive and important points in this video regarding changing lane and checking the mirrors that all were really useful for me. Take care and stay always safe and happy! God bless you!
Awesome video Richard! Everything explained in the best way possible and fun to watch as well. I've got my final driving exam comming up and your videos really helped me out a lot! Thank you and please don't stop posting.
Thank you, I'll keep doing it.
That explains my impulse to kick out my SPV, who always pushed on me his judgment! Thank you! Your video is really helpful. I get more confidence now.
Thank you so much mate! This is one of my weak spots in driving and watching this has been of great help and support. God bless you 🙏
Thank you and you're welcome.
The head cam is very helpful. Nice job driving and explaining at the same time. You are wonderful really learnt alot
Very very helpful tips for changing lanes. Thanks!!!
Brilliant teacher the best I've watched so understanding of the novice driver really encouraging and confidence building.
Got my test tomorrow and i'm really nervous. Binging these videos
Good luck tomorrow 🤞
15:07 This was the video I needed right after today's lesson. My instructor was shouting at me for every little thing I did or did not. It absolutely destroyed my confidence. I really thought I was never going to be a good driver after that lesson. But I think most of the problem is he didn't allow me to develop my own judgment, he was just telling me what to do and getting angry when I didn't do exactly what he wanted me to do.
I'm sorry to hear that. I find it better to let new drivers only take gaps they're comfortable with. This helps build judgment.
You are so passionate about driving and caring driver. It’s very good to share your knowledge with others 🙏👍
Your new head cam definitely worked as a treat! I passed my test last year ( with only few minors) drove on my own straightaway since that, with a 1999 Passat 😂 I'm definitely confident with everything but changing lane on fast route especially when I'm there first time😂 our biggest question would always be " how far is far enough?" " how quickly others are catching us?" your head cam showed everything. Thank you so much and Please keep doing that!
P.S. Everything you said has always been exactly the same as my instructor's, feel like you two could be soul mates 😂
You're welcome and thank you. A Passat is a nice comfy car.
Wow needing to redevelop this skills as I have not driven since I had a "freak accident" in 2008 much or by myself, feeling like a new driver, this video is very useful and informative. Camera was a great inclusion it puts you in the drivers seat and let's you feel in tune with the road. Thank you
Watching your videos has really improved my skills a lot.. thank you so much
Interior mirror explanation is very helpful! Really good tips like when all car shape is in the mirror means safe to change the lane
Brilliant session Richard! Thank you. Will share with my son who is learning to drive.
Love the revs, very clear and concise lesson, cheers.
It's funny cause my instructor told me not to check my blind spot when changing lanes on a dual carriageway before a roundabout having a little bit of experience riding a bike has drilled this into me so thankyou it's nice to see I wasn't in the wrong
Interesting observations and learnings through the head-cam.
Another super helpful. Need to watch this one more often.
Thank you very much for this videos. I love them. I have driving license from 2009 but I have not used it, I decided to give it a go, so took some refresher class (20 hrs) and bought a car. I'm still scared to drive as others are very impatient on the road. Usually I have issues with parking and hill start 😂 (manual car 🤷) But this video encouraged me so much just like others 🙏🙏
Excellent video. You are an excellent instructor. Best driving videos i have seen so far
These videos have been super helpful! I've had to change instructor 2 days before my test so I've been a bit nervous but these have given me a confidence boost and I did well in a new car today ❤️
I hope your test goes well!
Your videos making me more confident to drive ! Thanks !
You're welcome ☺
The head camera view is really helpful. Very good informations..
I like the headcam. We get to see what to look for and what your talking about as you do it.
I love the head cam. Really helpful and obviously very sexy too, which is a bonus.
Seriously though, this is excellent with the head cam. The view from the mirrors is shown in study materials but actually getting an real example of it being used is SOOO much more helpful. Keep it up 👍
Thank you. I have some more with the head cam.

You are such a great instructor... I am feeling confident after watching your videos..
Thank you ☺
I’ve got my test in October and I am learning so much from your videos and actually getting more comfortable and confident about my test .
Good luck with your test.
Truly your the best, at explaining scenarios I have a lot to learn.
Very nice videos with good views of the mirrors.I have learnt alot about using mirrors during lane changing
You are amazing, I am literally nodding all the time while listening to you, thank you, I appreciate you
Thank you,I highly appreciate your efforts in making such useful tutorials.
Thank you for your nice comments.
What a masterclass ! Congrats and thank you !
Best and funniest video I’ve watched from Richard so far
Another great video mate, thanks for sharing your knowledge!
You're welcome
Great videos. Your explanations are so clear and detailed. I've watched a ton of them =) Many thanks!
Thanks for your video driving tutorial. Done liking and subscribed 👍👍👍
Thank you very much for your excellent videos. I recently passed my driving test (in Ireland). There are also some other useful driving videos on CZcams but Conquer Driving is by far the best I have seen. Along with a very patient driving instructor, these videos are great for more anxious learners like me
the head cam is very helpful along with all the data you presented... thank
You are a great teacher... I am enjoying watching your videos...
Thanks a lot ,u sence of humour ,kindness ,enthusiasm really helps to understand everything....
Great job, can you pls do a video with sat nav cos sometimes they are confusing with the direction.
Thank you, I'll add that to my consideration list.
Thanks you much appreciated
Very helpful video 👍your experience with learner are super helpful.
I have my theory coming up next week. I have very little confidence I will pass 3rd time round. Would be amazing if you done some videos on theory also because the way show, explain & breakdown things is amazing. For someone like me I struggle with learning but your videos are helping me.
Good luck with the test, theory content is something I would like to try and do.
Great tips about using one's own judgment, head cam is fabulous, thanks for your helpful videos
Thank you.
fav driving instructor on youtube
Really enjoy your videos, thank you!
Thank you great detail and video!
thank you for the videos. These are really informative.
I'm really grateful for this channel helps me alot although I already have my licence and it's a plus because in South Africa we also drive on the right hand
Thank you, amazing video 😊
The best instructor I've seen
Super helpful tutorial and thanks for encouraging. As a new learner , I really like your videos 🙏🏻
The best instructor ever!
I just learned driving in 2 days from scratch ❤️❤️❤️ I cant thank you enough.
You're welcome ☺

Really nice explanation of the whole blind spot affair! I drive an older transit van quite often, and it has smaller blind spot mirrors under the normal wing mirrors. However, if you intentionally dont look into them while being overtaken, the amount of time that passes between the car disappearing in your wing mirror and appearing besides you is really scary.
In a van that's true. Much better in a car.
