A fully qualified American driver takes a mock driving test in the U.K.
Simranjeet is fairly confident when he drives in the U.S. but driving in the U.K. is more challenging. It's interesting to watch how he adapts to these new roads.
Thank you to Simranjeet for doing the mock driving test and make sure you check out his youtube channel:

You should get an American qualified driving instructor to take the uk test. I bet they wouldn’t pass either
OMG YES
They probably wouldnt even know how to drive a manual

Respect bro. Most people would recommend their course to anyone to get as much money as possible. Shows that you’re not in it for the money, you genuinely want to help people pass.
the course is payed what
@@garlic.naan2 not the CZcams videos but an extra package. In this video he tells American people not to buy the course since it’s for the UK
But you have to pay for it
@@genox633 yeah but his point is that if pin was really money centred, he maybe would’ve tried to say that it is still useful for US learners, but, while he does charge for it, the course is there to genuinely help people to learn to drive.
I love how talkative he is and all the other uk students are so nervous and anxious.
Yeah they have more confidence
Noo
I literally couldn't talk, my mouth was so dry you could hear that horrible smacking noise in the back of my throat every time I tried to swallow. I passed with only one minor but it is still the most stressful thing I have ever experienced in my life. And I've been through a lot of shit lol.
Part of that is because this is purely for fun. Obviously it's just a mock for the other students, but they are treating it the same way as the actual test that they are yet to complete. Here he has no upcoming test, so being terrible doesn't matter. He's also been actively driving two years. It's a world of difference.
You could almost call it arrogance with how bad his driving was. Accident waiting to happen with how little he actually checks the mirrors and blind spots.
I’m from the UK and the people i’ve met from USA/Canada are way more confident and way less shy. Idk why but yeah
i have never seen a man hold an expression of disbelief for 30 minutes until I watched this video.
Crank Cuffin 😂😂😂😂😂
This guy is how people drive after they pass their test though
Lol so true, I don't check anything anymore and hardly even signal and speed all the time 😅🤣

American driving tests aren’t 2.5 mins it’s 30 mins, and we do go on main roads smh.
As an American, the driving test over here in the US is so damn easy that they're basically handing licenses out like candy on Halloween.
capitalists got to sell those cars.
Depends on the state. I took my driving test several decades ago and I am sure instructions have changed. I also learned to drive in a major city where parallel parking was and still is the norm.
@@jamestoni Nothing wrong with capitalism itself, you just have to execute it in a way that gives chances to everyone and doesn't represent an enormous public safety hazard like this, which is connected to that time when they caused a mass lead poisoning in the US just to sell more gasoline.
The driving is kinda fucked, yes, but US roads are some of the most simple systems I've ever seen. Sure the 6 lane highways are incredibly dangerous to foot traffic but they are very very simple. What bothers me most is how little skill you demand from motorcycle riders. Just some turns and a quick stop and you're done. Probably one of the reasons why the most ridiculous and avoidable crashes on youtube come from the US.
My test was 10 minutes, didn’t even have to parallel park or do a roundabout. Just 4 way stop right and left turns and 3 point turns
I think he talked more to Pin than I’ve ever spoken to my driving instructor 😂😂😂
Mine, at the very first lesson asked how I was with talking while driving, and I said I didn't really know but I said "I'll probably halt the conversation a bit during times that require more concentration."
He was glad I at least had an idea I might do it like that :P (It turned out to be true by the way, intersections and other more complicated situations made me go silent :P).
The kid is smart he was trying to distract the driver by talking too much
seems he only distracted himself.
"The kid" is the driver.

Just remember, every road test is different in the US depending on the state you're from, and where you choose to take your test in that state. Some cities have closed courses and short tests with no traffic, others have 25 minute road tests in super busy areas, and it all depends on the examiner you get as well :/
Soo true.
yep, new york city road test in manhattan may be the hardest
It’s interesting/weird to me that every state has a different kind of test. Does that mean if you decided to move state you have to do another driving test? I mean it makes sense the US is huge.
I haven't got my licence. It's expensive for lessons here and my last (failed) experience was horrendous.
So basically, I have social anxiety, tests and interviews trigger breakdowns and meltdowns (yay autism). So, I was already a jittery bag of nerves going in.... oh yeah... and I was due the results from my exams the following day. Also not good.
Third and final strike? The test examiner got us LOST mid test. I spent a good chunk of it driving on my own until I recognised an area (it was a town over and I'm not as familiar with some of the outskirts around there) and started making my way back. Only she had to do obs on a manouver and I shit you not, picked the one I'm worst at in the most akward place. Reversing into a side street... but.... well not just that.
It was on the side of a fucking steep hill, so I had to reverse back down this hill, into this side street.... which was a steep UPHILL off the main road. I was a little too far from the kerb with all my stress and panicking and that was what failed me. I literally would have passed with only 3 minor faults otherwise.
@@jennifer7317 generally you don't have to as long as you re-register your driver license in the new state without it being expired. This is speaking from experience after moving state to state

See the thing is... in America the speed limit is merely a suggestion and you would normally drive about 5-10 above it
Here in Sweden, the rule of thumb is that you double the number written. Sometimes you triple it.
here in Portugal the speed limit is merely a suggestion unless there's a radar in it, in which case you'll have to pay hundreds of € out of your own pocket and lose license points

Sorry what
That would literally be heaven, in the uk you legit drive up to 50/60 on your test sometimes
I've never seen such a joyful person who fails a test. I love this!
In Lithuania its signal mirror maneuver. Whilst I was learning how to drive in U.K. I have taken 10 lessons in Lithuania just to get used to drive on a right hand side. And I was told off for mirror signal maneuver. The rule is you put signal first then you check mirror and then maneuver. When I asked my instructor why they do not check mirror first, he said because if you check it first yiu put a signal and time passes and the you need to check your mirrors again if it safe to maneuver. So it's more logical to put a signal first, see what cars to behind and then make your judgment call when to change your position.
2.5 mins for a driving test? Are you kidding me? Accident rate must be alarming over there.
thinking about it .. all they have to do there is go straight and tuen left and right ahaha
American drivers are very bad
Americans have the worst drivers just came back there from a months holiday.....no one can drive looool
@@mckenziethorton8725 Russians and Chinese are pretty bad too
This is probably why I see on CZcams so many accidents
In America the examiner would be impressed with his driving and give him a pass at the end.
No they wouldn’t
You're not from america are you? Even in america he would be classified as a horrible driver. The only "acceptable" thing he did here would be speeding. Literally everybody speeds here. On average people drive about 15-20 mph over the limit.
I mean Illinois drivers are terrible so he’s not wrong with Illinois.
GreenScreen ong I be going like 65 down street roads 💀😂
Lol 2min driving test. Are you kidding me. In my state, the test is 10 - 15 min long.
Hearing him describe his test explains so much about New York drivers. My test in MA was 10-15 mins on actual roads, it was mostly drive around, pull over on a street with few cars and reverse for 50 feet in a straight line, do a 3-point turn, parallel park, demonstrate how to park on a hill (if you aren't near/on a hill, they will just say "how do you park [up/down] hill with[out] a curb?" and you just pull over and park as if you were on said hill).
For parallel parking you get 2 or 3 adjustments (not multiple chances), 3-point turn you can make 1 or 2. On mirrors, most people in the US signal and then check the mirrors, in MA you are *supposed* to check then signal, but they don't really care which order it is done in as long as both are done before changing lanes.
I'm from the US (Connecticut) and my test was 20 mins on the road, consisting of 3 point turn, reverse parking, parallel and regular parking. One major mistake you fail, up to 3 minor mistakes. You have to do mirror checks and make sure your signaling is on time.

Me “there’s gonna be all mistakes coming up”

That’s how the testing is in certain states, I’m in California and we have to actually drive on a public road with other vehicles. Routes change, and since it’s a public road no test is ever going to be the same. My brother took his test in Maryland and his was in a parking lot like he described.

Props to him for doing this and letting you put it on Internet, especially as he has hardly driven over here. Nice lad, you had a good rapour with him. It's interesting to see the difference in driving standards elsewhere. It shouldn't be so easy, especially when they can sit their test so young with no other experience.
He doesn't represent us, though. There are few serious, young drivers who take mirror checks and life-savers seriously.
@@AwesomeHairo was what he said about the test not accurate? Or is it dependant on location? 😊 I'd appreciate the info, thanks
@@FukKnows87 His test is NOWHERE near what I had to do. The test is much shorter, yes, lasting for only about 10-15 minutes though, not 2. Also, the only time spent in the parking lot was to parallel park between cones, everything else was on the road with other cars. I will agree that our test is much easier, but I have no clue what test this guy took, as it is nothing like what me or anyone I know took.
FukKnows87 every state has a different test. In some states you can get your license it 14, some 18. The big US government only makes really serious laws, most laws and regulations are left up to state governments.
I did my cycling proficiency test on my school playground like he passed his driving test and it took more than 20 minutes! I suppose it's comforting for him to drive with a kerb to his right but like many young people he seems obsessed with the right-hand lane.
That is a very instructive video. Useful for so many reasons and directly useful to many people who drive here and must have passed the UK test.
We all drive with errors, usually lapses of concentration when we are under stress, but I am always amazed at the number of people who navigate without signalling.
There’s a big six way roundabout near where I live and some go all the way round with not one amber flashing light…
imagine this guy drving a manual, Jesus
He said he blew out a clutch last time he tried...
😭😂😂 I just realized that he's in an automatic 😂😂😂😂 that blew me away
I thought it was funny because he forgot to select the one and only gear he has to select
Comedy :))
shifting with your left hand just feels wrong
I think if he was to do a test in the uk he’ll get a serious fault for just talking too much
Ahahaha

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I wouldn't have an issue with him talking but turning to look at the passenger should be a major fail! Keep your eyes on the road - always!
Vic_ Tim yeah same it’s actually quite funny but I’d be worried driving with him
Same in Ontario, Canada. 10-15 mins driving test. 3 point turn, reverse parking, parallel parking, speed limit are important points. You can make up to 5-10 mistakes. Moreover confidence is needed. If you feel confident and observe well you'll pass.
I'm from the US state of Texas, and my test was different than what he described. I'm sure this is because every state has different laws and regulations put in place for driving. During the exam, you are required to demonstrate skills including turning and stopping in regular traffic conditions, parallel parking, and reversing in a straight line.
You'll also be graded on your behind-the-wheel behavior. Things like using your signals, checking your mirrors, stoping smoothly, and obeying all traffic laws. Also, my test was only 20 minutes, which is really short compared to what you have in England.
Actually I think that it was a new experience for Pin he was fascinated
In the UK you get faults for so many things, like positioning and steering. As long as you follow the rules of the road in the US, you don’t get faults for stuff like that. Also, in most places across the US, they no longer do a course for the driving test. Most states require a road test on actual local roads.
And that’s why US drivers have road rage because most of them don’t know how to drive.
yeah and also cause a lot of unnecessary crashes or worse injuring bikes and cyclists cos you dont check your mirrors first.. you guys realise by not looking in your mirror first before signalling it gives the message to the person driving in the lane you are signalling to that you are coming into their lane. which can cause unnecassary change in traffic and braking and could (potentially) cause an acident
@@amberleaf42069 you’re supposed to signal before changing lanes so I don’t see how that makes sense. What’s the difference between checking your mirror before you turn your signal on and after if you’re going to turn in 100 feet anyway.
@@charlesdesocio1560 because if you signal that indicates to the driver in that lane you are signalling into that you are coming in to that lane. what happens if a bike is right beehind you in the other lane, he could think you are swerving out on him which could cause a fatal crash. the fact you cant even think of this reason. you look in your mirror FIRST. THEN SIGNAL - to make sure you are being as safe as possible. One mistake like this could lead to someone being injured or being killed.
@@charlesdesocio1560 also mate you could have literally read my first comment to answer your question. mirrors first, then signal. stop being lazy. it could save someones life.
I learn lots from this! Thanks for the good content!
Just to clear up a misunderstanding: the driving test on the US depends on where you live and how heavily trafficked the area is. The drive test most of the time is about 20-30 minutes, however it could be longer in more Urban cities, or shorter in small town. Mine ended up being around 20 minutes, not including the before hand parallel parking and inspection maneuver and we did go through heavy traffic. However, in a small town it might be shorter like he said (since there wouldn't be much traffic). So he didn't necessarily lie, but it's also not completely true. ❤
He didn't lie or not tell the truth he just had a different experience to you

This was so interesting. I passed my UK driving test in 1997 and realise that I commit some of these serious faults :/ such as hitting the curb with my rear wheel when parallel parking - sometimes. He would've frustrated me if I was following him though - for not being reliable with his signalling. I see numerous drivers who either don't signal or are confusing with their signalling. Not checking the blind spot though - that's bad! I gave up a car for some years after whiplash caused me to not be able to properly turn my head to check everywhere and also my observation skills were impaired due to heavy analgesics. I was simply not safe on the road for a few years so sold my car. Also, I often felt he was going too fast - especially on that busy street. Having been the victim of a car crash caused by the other driver speeding (he was also young like this guy), having a few near misses with toddlers and cats running out between parked cars over the years - I am a much more cautious driver these days and always drive cautiously on busy streets and residential streets now. I do believe all potential drivers should go through a simulator showing them what could happen should they not show caution on such streets and roads. I recall how fast I drove when I was younger now and cringe.
Pin: Don't be afraid to ask any questions
Driver: NO PROBLEM
😂
Here in The Netherlands it is perfectly normal to have a conversation with your instructor and examiner, it helps make people less nervous and the examiner does stop the conversation when he feels that the learner needs to pay more attention. Of course you can always ask the examiner if he/she can be quiet.
Except if you take a special exam for people with anxiety. I hate radios and people in my car. The only noise I want is my navigation and engine revs.
@@RacingPepe gay
In the Netherlands, before they let you drive for the exam, they ask if you like to hold conversations when you drive. This is more of a question that you should answer yes to, so they know you are confident. While driving, you then have to pay attention and hold a conversation. I myself asked about his work, what he loved. This made him happy, and he started talking a lot about it. And then he even started talking about his wife. That's when you know that you passed, even if you make big mistakes.
I would like to mention that the driving test does vary state by state. Some states test you on a closed course (which blows my mind), others like CA for example, test you on the road.
I’m an American and have been driving since I was 15 1/2, I’m 59 now, learning with friends and family, driving buses, pickup trucks, Jeep’s and VW bugs, all of them stick shifts (manual), except for my mom and dad’s cars which were automatics. I also drove military vehicles, including tanks, in the US Army, in the USA and in Germany and Denmark, while stationed there from 1980-1990. I drove in the UK once and in the US Virgin Islands (they drive on the left side there too), and we took a vacation last year Jan-Feb to Europe and stayed in the UK for a week. I got my international driver’s permit and rented a car in the UK and drove all week, every day for at least 5-7 hours. We drove to Wales, Scotland and back to England, drove through Manchester and in London. Never had any issues and no tickets, except for parking without a permit in Bath, and I took that one on the chin. Paid it online and kept it as a souvenir, because I’ve never gotten one anywhere before! The only two things that bothered me were my wife yelling as she freaked out about cars on her left when she was in the front passenger seat (she was really nervous, because she had never been anywhere with right hand drive cars), and the tons of roundabouts. Holy Jesus, but they’re everywhere! I was using GPS and on our last day, as we were driving to Gatwick to turn in the car and catch our flight out, for some reason the GPS kept telling me to stay on a loop and we went in a giant circle before I realized that there were detours because of construction and the GPS wasn’t picking it up. I stopped at a shopping center and called the Enterprise Rental car place and spoke with the manager, a great guy, who asked me to tell him what shopping center I was at. We got the name of the place and he looked on Google Maps and gave me directions on how to get to the airport. We made it with plenty of time to return the car and check in, and eat before our flight. We had a ton of fun. I was the only driver in our group of 5 people and I loved driving in the UK. It was fun. I was sad to leave it and hope to go back and get the chance to drive there again. The approach I use in life is the same one I use in driving, use caution when needed, and watch what you’re doing always, respect others and traffic rules, and enjoy the trip. Good luck on the road, you maniacs! Great videos BTW. Cheers!
You're so nice and patient i wish every instructor was like you ,you make your learners feel comfortable i love that.I myself got my driver's license a while ago but i keep watching your videos because honestly your videos are fun and educative so keep up mate.
Grew up in New York myself, though I’m over here in England now. Everything this kid says about our testing process over there is 100% correct. My driving test was under 5 minutes. It took place in a quiet residential neighborhood though as opposed to a course; no main roads.
I will say this about the difference in driving standards-our cities and towns are generally hundreds of years younger than yours, and are much better laid out for easy driving. There are fewer twists, turns, and obstacles. Traffic lights managing pretty much every intersection as opposed to roundabouts. There’s a lot less to negotiate as a driver over there.
Anyway, thanks Pin; funny video. I did feel a bit of hometown pride when he called it a K turn. My man. Nice kid, the causal chattiness reminded me of home.
I’m from the US and idk what kinda test he was taking my test was 20 mins still not that long and on main roads and residential areas. Also the parallel parking was 3 tries and if u hit the cone you automatically fail.
He is way more confident on the road then all these other learners. Even speeding which I haven’t seen before
The looks you give this kid when he gets too close to cars haha.. this young man needs a driving *lesson* not a test haha
Doesn’t check mirrors, glad I don’t drive a motorbike in America, would be scary
i just watched a us traffic compilation and im glad that i dont live in america.
CASHPABLO wtf are you bums watching
"Filtering" on a motorcycle in the USA, in most states, is illegal.
Gallade u do undrestand most of this shit yall talking about is illegal in other countries like mine dont comment if u dont know shit
gamingturtle eat a bum
Deffo agree when he says about left side feeling more natural. I hired a car in Greece and found it very difficult getting used to driving on the left and awareness on the right from the curb etc
The mirror thing I found quite interesting. Doing drivers ed in the US, I was taught to signal, and then check my mirrors before doing any movements
Still shocked that he thought his driving was 6/10 😂
In the USA a 6/10 is a D-
My driving instructor (I'm in The Netherlands by the way) told me that he encounters a lot of people who, going up for either their first exam or after their first exam they failed still gave their driving skills a 9 out of 10, so honestly, I think he was actually being reasonably sensible about his abilities.
Its scary that they can come here and hire a car whilst on holiday........
One horrible driver who has no clue what he is talking about doesn’t represent all Americans.
@@outdoorstuffwithelisha2591 if what he says is true and the test is only two and a half minutes then there's no possible way an American driver with only that kind of training would be of a sufficient standard to drive on our roads.
You have to bear in mind that a lot of our roads are much more complex than American roads with lots of variation in different types of junctions and roundabouts and bends and crossings and all sorts. Unless maybe they were a police driver or something so they'd had additional training (I'm assuming police drivers have additional training in America).
I've been learning for around a year now and I've just failed my test for the second time, it's ridiculously strict over here and forces you to be of a decent standard (in theory anyway). Unfortunately there are a lot of crappy drivers in England who must've gotten incredibly lucky on their test because there's no way they should be driving.
yh about that... the us diplomats wife who came here this month killed a teenager while driving
@@kaneramsey8191 I heard about that actually, didn't she try to claim diplomatic immunity?
@@jammydodger222Xxd yh she did, hopefully that evil bastard like all of them r get prison
Driving test in Alberta, Canada is 2 parts. You get your "learner's permit" by taking a written test. That let's you drive with a FULLY licensed driver. Basically, it's for, you know, learning.
When you're comfortable with that, you take your first road test. That one is generally 30-40 minutes, and is about the same as what I've seen as far as the videos on this channel are like. No show-me/tell-me stuff, but will test for things like parallel parking. When you pass that, you get a "Graduated Driver's License." This allows you to drive on your own. There are a few conditions. First, you're not allowed to have ANY alcohol in your system. Not even under the "legal limit." Nothing, nada. Second, you're not allowed to be a training driver, which means you can't take learner's out to drive with them. Third, you get half the maximum demerits, so only half the opportunity to screw up.
You absolutely can just stop at this point and drive freely. Lots of people do it. The restrictions aren't that bad, and a decent driver will have absolutely no issues with this.
To get a "full license," you need to take an advanced road test. This one is over an hour, and go for up to 2. These tend to be scheduled during heavier traffic times, as they want to see that you've truly learned how to be a proper driver, and can handle the stresses of more standard driving conditions. This will again have maneuvers, but nothing especially difficult. The practical reason for the second road test is really just to make sure you've gotten used to actual driving. Once you pass this, you're a fully licensed driver, meaning you have your full demerits, can be a training driver for a learner, can technically have alcohol in your system (but I mean really, don't be stupid).
So I dunno, when I hear that a driver only had a few minutes on a closed course, it scares the hell out of me. The drivers where I live are bad enough, and they HAVE to go through fairly rigorous training already, so I can't imagine how a 2 minute road test is worth anything. There's simply no way to gauge. Again, having watched these videos, people can be driving great for 20 minutes, and then suddenly start making a ton of mistakes because they got flustered or some such. 2 minutes is not enough.
I was fortunate on mine, only had one minor thing which was driving slightly too fast for conditions (it had rained an hour before).
For anyone watching to clarify the whole signaling and checking mirrors thing, I'm in the U.S and I learned SMOG, which for those that don't know means Signal, Mirrors, Over your shoulder, Go. so generally what I was taught is to check your mirrors after you signal, I still, though I think it would be good habit to check them before as well, it's better to overdue the mirror and shoulder checking than not do it at all
Yes man I’m happy I did a mock test but I got 2 serious faults but they aren’t that deep. 1. When I was reversing a car came infront of me I should’ve let the car go then continue with my reversing however I didn’t 2. I approached a slip road to fast .
Good luck everyone with their real and mock test I’m taking mine on the 24th of this month
Did ya pass
...
I took my test in Utah and it was a 5 minutes drive in the desert, u turn, parallel park and that’s it. We have nothing to crash into other than sand.
During my test, we start off in a yard, doing a 3-point turn, then, parallel parking, from both sides as well as reversing into a parking spot from two sides, and while this is happening, you cannot stall, hit an object or roll. If that happens you fail. If you pass the yard, you have about 20 minutes driving on the public roads, you do an emergency stop, go through a few circles and main roads. At every stop, you pull your handbrake up and place the car in neutral, before going, you do your blind spot checks as well as mirrors, then first gear, handbrake down and pull away. Mirror checks have to take place every 10 seconds and before you break and when you turn, you have to do blind spot checks, mirror checks, then signal, after signal, and before turning, you do your checks again.
Wow. He says hes done a little driving here. I think drivers should have to do a competency test before being allowed to drive here when they visit from abroad. Also I can't believe they don't even test on actual roads wtf. Watching at the end.. he has got an answer for everything, I'm surprised you stayed so cool.
@Bercilak de hautdesert I agree.
*If this had been a real test(UK), the examiner would have terminated the test.*
_This one was quite interesting video_
No they wouldn't
If he was on the wrong side of the road of course they would stop it
@@DHODN, what do you mean they wouldn't? He got more Serious than Major Driving Faults, the examiner would have terminated the test either when he drove on the wrong side of the road into oncoming traffic, or when he surpassed around 6 Serious Driving Faults.
Only if he had a Dangerous Fault he would Terminate it. They’ll let you do as many Serious faults until they feel uneasy with your driving
Dude who tf would name their kid Hitlar
This is definitely one of the funniest mock driving tests I've seen so far. How are you managed to keep a straight face (most of the time) is beyond me! 😂🤣😂
I have my driving test in December I'm doing a crash course and then straight into my exam after, I have been driving with my dad for about 12 months because all my automatic driving instructors are gone where I live and we also have a shortage of instructors so I tested myself by driving from cheshire all the way to Yorkshire Sheffield there and back twice to throw me into situations so I can learn them then and there. My confidence is comfortable (not over confident) but because I haven't had a instructor for 12 months the crash course will clean up anything else ready fro my exam on the 20th December I hope I pass
I passed my driving test last week thanks to all your videos! Much appreciated!
That guy is actually a legend though 😂👍🏻 just don’t let him drive a manual.
It looks like a football match between Driving faults and Serious faults. ..🤣
I love the way Pin says 'right' lol. I think it's the main reason I watch his videos hahaha
I love the video's. Dont know why, I got my license already haha.
I do have one tip for you that maybe could be usefull to implement in your lessons. Have a timer in the car somewhere that shows the amount of time the camera is recording. Then when you do spot a mistake, you write down the time that is displayd on the timer. At the end of the lesson, you show the footage to the driver with the exact timestamps of when the mistake happened and tell them what went wrong and how to prevent it. Back when I had lessons, I always forgot what my driver was talking about. Now if you implement this that will no longer happen and I think students will learn from their mistakes better.
Greetings and keep it up from the Netherlands!
Pin looked excited to see all the mistakes he was about to make 😂😂😂
tbh this dude is a proper driver, so its kinda hard for him to drive like a learner as he's going to be more laid-back about it and drive like he does normally. But this video was interesting and I absolutely LOVED it. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Just wanted to add that in US every state is different. Also, if you're in an urban area of the state vs rural, the test could be quite different. Where I took my test (NC), in a rural are there was no parallel parking. However, if you lived in a city you may have to parallel park. I also was not on a closed course but this was 30 years ago. I do agree the test in US is much, much easier.
He even failed the "K" turn lol. This was entertaining
Shah Ali what the fuck is a k turn
@@zacharyjog3275 what they call a 3 point turn, if you watched the video it is explained
Brackenburn100 why the fuck is it called the k turn. The y turn is so much better
But you don't even the 3 point turn on the test anymore
@@bgbemerald I have no idea, I'm not a yank.
It’s so hard for Pin to keep his laugh in omg 😂🤣
In America where I live(North Carolina) the driving test is about 10 minutes. You take a public road from license agency a couple of miles to an apartment complex parking lot where you do the 3 point turn and parallel parking then drive the couple of miles back to the license agency. Definitely a lot shorter and easier than in the UK. Also we aren't taught to check our mirrors when turning only when reversing or changing lanes
That's... terrifying. With that knowledge (and the USA's rather frightening motoring death rate stats) I think I'd be very anxious about driving over there. Think I'll stick to pavements and buses, thanks 😅
(No offense meant, I'm not trying to be mean 🙂)
I’m so happy to say that I am now a licensed driver of two days!✌🏻I took my test yesterday morning and I passed first try. It was fairly easy, I must say. I’m now part of the “got my license” crew 👌🏻
