Read your bible! (KJV, preferably) ❤️
I recently passed my driving test, and a huge tip I got from my friend really helped me. It's not about whether you can drive 'good' it's about whether you can drive safely.
drive instructors pass you based on the idea that you won't be a danger on the road and keep the traffic in a good flow.
you don't have to be able to drive like someone who does it for 10+ years, just give the impression you know what you're doing/ are supposed to be doing, and keep looking in your mirrors, I cannot stress enough always look in your mirrors with everything that you're doing.
Wait but my driver instructor says to not look in the mirrors? To look around the sides and to turn my head back??
@@eliminate100. the mirrors aren't there for no reason. But yes you also have to look past your shoulder. You need to do both.
@@otanuki4288 heh I failed my test 2 times already 🥲 I'm just having trouble with the lanes when turning and also the signs and to look around too..
@@eliminate100. You should be checking your mirrors as you drive along just normally so you know the cars around you.
And when you manoeuvre you use mirrors and a head check. A head check won't show you whats 2 car lengths behind you.
It should be for instance, for changing lanes -
Decide you want to change lanes → check mirrors for cars, and if it's possible → indicator on → head check before manoeuvring → change lanes → indicator off
Simplified as: Mirror, Indicate, head check, change lanes.
U can pay them off and not even deal with any tests..
Hi guys it's me santino, firstly thank you Pin for the expirence I can now see the faults !! 😂, and guys who are commenting nice things I appreciate also means a lot ❤❤❤❤❤
Good luck in your test Santino I’m sure you’ll be fine - your seem a really good driver!
you'll be fine for your test. I completely failed my mock with about 5 serious and 7 minors but passed a couple weeks later with 1 minor. good luck
@@Shortyplayz smashed it lad
Let us know how you get on Santino, in your real test. You did really well, I think a case of driving in a new area and some sign issues. Definitely more serious problems you can have, you'll be fine :)
Good luck, your driving was really good and confident. I'm still trying to train up as much as possible since my instructor will not be available for some weeks. I wish I had your parking skills!
Tip from me to passing your driving test:
Don't stress about it. You don't drive as well when you are under stress, so don't stress that you may fail. Accept that it may happen, but fixate on success, not failure.
Don't try to feel overly confident as you may think that will help you pass. It can also make you miss a few things here and there.
Simply, what I did was just simple. I set my mind to "I can pass because I know I am a good driver and I will just drive like how I always do."
Yes good tips I was very nervous when I was taking my driving test last week however my examiner was really nice because she asked how I was and what I’m doing and my future goals. Basically, she just made me feel comfortable by getting to know me more and I actually ended up passing.
My friends have a thing of never do a test sober, fortunately for their faces and my hands they'd never do it for driving tests. I don't mean smashed, I mean slightly less than tipsy, so we can still access knowledge and think properly, there's just no panicking and tears.
For my first test, I was super confident I'm gonna make it. Made a big mistake and failed... On my second attempt I wasn't as confident anymore, but I definitely had hope. My examiner was in a super bad mood, forced me to break the law, so I got confused and didn't see that the lights were turning red, so my instructor had to hit the breaks. On my third one, I was super confident, that I was gonna fail. I was in a horrible mood and it got even worse when I saw who my examiner was. I think you can guess who it was. This time, he was in a better mood and I finally fucking passed.
Also side note: I live in Germany, so the tests are 45 mins long and I had to drive through the Berlin city on my 2nd attempt, so it was really difficult.
@@vivi-ws9yl ayee third times a charm mine was longer than 45 because I took the wrong route once lol
Thanks for the tips. I’m 16 in 2 months so I drove my aunts car around the block and man I was stressed. However, afterwards I soon realized how easy it is to do it.
I'm amazed by how good this lad was driving aside from a few things. If he can improve on that he'll be a great driver. I'm sure at the time he'll pass his test
Edit: Omg, I can't believe I got more than 2K likes. Unreal! Thanks for the likes!
It's not hard to drive to be fair, pretty simple skill most people can so. And what's with most learners still using the handbrake for every stop. I was never taught this by my instructor but I guess other instructors tell their students to use it for everything.
Only time I use handbrake is parking as I love on a hill or if there a genuinely steep incline with traffic lights on, it's a parking brake really and shouldn't be used in flat traffic.
And reference points for parking.....so fucking dumb, it's like learning the correct answer for a test, pointless. Learn how to park without having reference points because ultimately when your in the real world you don't have the time to fuck around with reference points.
@@spopple88 you're right.. its mainly compared at how good he is compared to me after getting my license after 2 years of lessons and never driven more than 5 times since (mainly anxiety). But more the fact it took me 2 years to pass - so i admire people who can drive this well. I get your point though
You guys do it wrong in the UK. USA driving tests are so easy lmao
@@asdfmoz3207 I dont live in either tho
@@spopple88 I was taught to use the handbrake at every stop.It's for safety reasons if you get rear ended.
In practice hardly anyone ever bothers doing it though,usually when you're at lights for a considerable amount oif time and what to give your foot on the brake a rest.
This is the instructor you pray not to get lmao
Y
Yep absolute douchebag of a brit lmao
I think this shows that you can get complacent learning in the same area every lesson. You know all the quirks and right things to do. Its definitely good practice to have some lessons in new/different areas, even if your test isn’t in those areas, to be used to reading and following signs in unfamiliar places.
@@Souscheff what is a giveaway sign? sorry, I'm american, we don't have that.
My state requires 60 hours of driving time before you can take the driving test. I passed it on the first try. Drove all over the county, to various places and so on, happy my mom had me drive in different places and not just the same few places over and over, There are 3 roads where i'm sure i'd fail due to complacency and driving too fast because of it.
@@thomasthomasthomas296 Think he just means a "Yield" sign.
@@thomasthomasthomas296 Giveway, not giveaway lol. Like other guy said, another word for yield. You're giving right of way.
Dont know about the UK, but where I live in Aus, you can get your licence through a competency log book. There is a minimum of 9 lessons, and then 3 tests.
The tests have to be conducted in an area that you don't do your driving lessons in.
@@PBMS123 nothing like that here
I've just passed my driving test today, first try and only 3 minors. Thanks to the Ultimate Driving Course, I couldn't have done it without it. Watching this video's helped a lot too. Now let's celebrate! 🥳😁
How much they pay you to say that?
@@zimerlife8964 Absolutely nothing. I can't believe how people are so easy to judge. I really wanted to pass my first time. I learned a lot by watching the CZcams videos and i decided to buy the program which explains you very well in details and I thought I should come here and give Pin some credit because I followed all his advice and it worked. I'm sorry if you are probably struggling to pass but just by your judgment towards people's honesty, no wonder 🤷🏻♀️
@@PreciousKiitty Thanks for your concern but I already passed my driving exam months ago actually. I was quick to judge because the way in which you thanked the UDC sounded more of a commercial. Didn’t mean to touch your feelings in any way. 🤷♂️
I say well done you 👏 👍
Great to here stay safe on the roads
Poor kid, but it just takes one small error to be deadly. Hopefully he isn't discouraged and he practices to makes perfect. I passed my test 8 years ago and I still watch videos like this to try and improve my driving every few days or so especially because my nephews are in the car very regularly.
This is why America is a joke of a country now. Only in America where you need to actually get a drivers license to be able to go places.
@@LosHitmanthis aint america buddy
Practice won't keep anyone from making mistakes, that's real life and mistakes happen all the time because driving in real life isn't about passing a test but relaxing and for a lo tof people "enjoying their ride".
I have binged your videos in the past month and today I had my test, I passed first time with only 4 minors. Thank you for all the help and support while preparing for my test! ❤️
Just only 3 serious and 0 minors?! Darn he's legit a really good learner driver, he just needs to practice more and hope he passes his test
@@mikeadz1 Well ofc cuz u dont fail with 5-6 minors. The comment above is saying that he drives very well but makes mistakes cuz he didnt concentrate on his driving. 3 serius is a lot but nothing he cant improve on
@@mikeadz1 well duh, but the fact he got 0 minors which even for a mock is pretty good shows that he’s a good driver and just need a little more practice
In Latvia (EU region), you can pass, while you have max only 3 minor points on driving exam and we have 3 specials movements on road, parallel parking , reversal, box parking.If car stalled - its automatically fail driver test.
@@alexanderkuranov9849 In Croatia you can have 15 minor faults and we do a reverse or foward parking. And just driving around town. And you will auto fail if you stall infront of cars and in a junction
@@mikeadz1 His technical ability and driving is on point, if he works on his awareness he could be a good driver
How is positioning on the wrong side of a one way a serious driving fault? It’s a one way.
On top of that, there aren't any markings on the pavement indicating left/right turning lanes. It may be kinda dumb to pull to the left side, only to turn right afterwards, but that seems like a rather miniscule infraction; especially if there's nobody behind you.
Being an American though, I know fuck all about traffic laws in the UK.
you have to position to the side you're turning
so the car behind you can position to the other side if he's turning the oppsite way
@@mion_mori Exactly
Imagine two people wanting to turn right but one person positioned on the left , that may cause a collision if both people set off at the same time
@@mepz4740 lol thats only possible if both of those drivers were idiots... one of them will have to brake in this case...
I passed recently and I could still easily have done all of the serious faults Santino did, so this was very informative.
This is true for everyone. We make more mistakes than we think in real life, it's just human. These tests are in some way worthless.
My instructor said to me "you don't need to have a perfect drive, you just need to show the examiner you are in control of the car at all times" simple advice that you all probably say but just saying that made me feel a whole lot more comfortable about the test. I passed fist time with 4 minors.
Shame they don't tell everybody that, mine did as well and it did make a difference to how I approached the test I also passed first time as well, wasn't it funny the first time you drove the car with no one else in it.
Ditto. Best advice
I want to say a huge thanks to this channel and for all the videos I watched on here that helped me pass. I passed my test last week with 3 minors! Good luck to anyone else taking their test soon, these videos really helped!
I just want to say a massive thank you for these videos, I passed my test on Wednesday, and these videos were a massive help in ironing out any small mistakes that I made, especially getting me into the habit of checking all my mirrors more often! So thank you so so much, and good luck to anyone who’s learning, you’ve got this :))
I PASSED WEDNESDAY 1ST TIME TOO, LETS GO!
@@pearlrowell. OMG CONGRATS!!
I drive without a license 😁 If a cop tries to pull me over I'll run
Read your bible! (KJV, preferably) ❤️
Dang it's so wild watching this as an American. I don't know that any of those would've been considered a serious fault in the US, and he definitely would've passed a US test with flying colors.
that's what you get when you have car dependency every schmuck needs a license and hence we have shitty drivers
i mean, not checking the merging lane *might* be a problem, but a lot of lanes like that are supposed to yield to you
Hell, when i fist started driving, the instructors kept telling me that i had right of way because i’d slow down a bit when intersections, especially in residential areas, when i saw a car approaching
I was far more worried about jackasses trying to “beat” me to the turn, or not paying attention and not seeing me than i was worried about going anywhere
I passed my test recently too. I can recommend to stay calm and don’t overthink. Overthinking is what is gonna make you fail! Just go out there and enjoy the experience cause the end result is worth it! I hope anybody who’s reading this can take this advice and goes out and passes their test. ❤
This instructor baiting his students into these videos for likes is so unprofessional and adds so much preasure to the PAYING CUSTOMERS
I appreciate these videos so much. Just passed this morning first try with 3 minors and found myself relating back to these videos during the test. Thanks!
I drive for years, but you videos still remind me some things. Even a skilled driver makes mistakes
It would be cool if we could see the speed at the bottom if possible 👍🏽
I agree
Watching these, I feel like driving in countries other than America must be so much harder, no wonder public transport is a really big thing in many places lol.
My driver’s test I took like 2 turns, stopped at a stop light, and parallel parked with my backup camera (and having to look at my mirrors to convince him) and that was it 😂
I didn’t even have to parallel park lol
@@sarthaktripathi4867 parallel parking is probably mandatory for a couple of states. but parallel parking is def a usable skill.
Back when I did mine, they didn’t ask me to parallel park but they did ask me to park into a very tight space and a 3-point turn. I was at the time expecting all of the above but I’ve noticed I’m glad I know how to parallel park, because it does come in handy quite often especially when you live in a city like I do.
@@honorarychimp9363 For this reason, I’m so glad that I don’t live anywhere urban. And usually if I’m supposed to parallel park, I know I probably could, but it’s true I’ll just opt for a further away spot out of ease unfortunately 😂
@@zimsearchmister1712 See, it’s either you pay $15 for parking, or you know how to parallel park on the street for free where I live
Thanks for your videos and the Ultimate driving course. Passed first time with no faults.
I'm from the USA and I watch your driving videos!! I think it really helps me be more confident in driving even though the gears are automatic and is different in the US!
"it's hot today"..............but Pin still rolling with his DGN jacket, nice👌
Probably has AC in the car
Can finally say I’m in the passed but still watching group. Passed 2nd time with 5 minors thanks to these videos 🙌🙃
@_ Habibi Congrats to both of u
I passed my test on Wednesday with 1 minor! Your videos are so informative, thank you!!☺️
How much mistakes makes you fail ?
@@InfinityIncome200 3 minors of the same category, 15 overall minors or one major
As someone that failed their cycling proficiency test as a kid, and pretty much stayed away from practical tests, I was genuinely surprised to pass my driving test first time with one minor. Now I think about it, even though I was nervous I just did everything slowly and methodically; taking your time and staying aware of what's around you are crucial. Trying to rush anything to "get it done" will lead to mistakes, and driving isn't a competition!
F1 hello?
I will take this into consideration, also I love your name! :3
Cycling proficiency test?
No rush but not too slow, otherwise minor faults for undue hesitation or outside normal driving speed!
@@hughjackson8866 he meant normal driving
I kinda don’t like it how it feels like they’re being shamed for being confident so you want people to doubt themselves and be nervous okay buddy!
Overconfidence is also bad. Even instructors can make driving mistakes sometimes and that’s the whole point of it and this is just a learner he doesn’t even have his license yet so he should be extra cautious more than anything
Good to see you good bro. Love your videos and they’re very helpful
Thank you very much ‼️‼️ you’re vídeos were very helpful and I’ve passed my test today.
that reverse bay parking was CRISP AF! go on lad. other than the observation mistakes, your driving itself is great! should be dead proud of yourself.
good luck with your exam and i hope you pass first go!😘
This is the most ridiculous test of the entire test. It just doesn't matter if you're in the perfect spot and if you need 1 or 4 attempts. I did quite well with parking but nowadays, it's trial and error most of the time.
Welcome to the drivers test where you can drive very well and safely but you are on the “wrong side of the one way,” so you fail. This is just really annoying how strict some instructors can be
i see the issue
Staying to the left would give the impression of turning left, but the blinker indicates a right turn
So it causes confusion, which impedes the flow of traffic
This video is a fantastic resource for learning, I wish I could have rewatched my driving lessons 20yrs ago! The serious fault when emerging from the one way road on the wrong side could be argued that his position enabled for a better view of the traffic from the right; however I've not experienced that junction so it may not hold up.
Excellent video, thanks for posting. Got a shock when I realized you were driving through my home town though.
He seems like a rare well mannered British kid. I like him. I hope he doesnt change
With italian roots because his name prolly
I passed about 2 weeks ago and only got 1 minor I think these videos are really helpful and beneficial for others.
Hope you're doing well bro, you deserve it! Good thing you're doing here!
This channel is addicting. I ready have my licence (for 4.5 years now) in another country with right hand traffic but still binge the videos as if I'm cramming for the test
I feel the pain with the one way street major, as that was my only major on one of my failed tests, and it was gut wrenching finding out that was the only thing that failed me.
Passed my test first time way back in November '87. Honestly, I'd probably fail if the test was like it is today. A problem back then, though, was that examiners all seemed to have their own way of doing things. Today, it seems to be better regulated. There was one examiner locally who was notorious for failing everyone. He failed my mum and a couple of my friends. My sister passed first time, even though she knows she should have failed. She had the Head Examiner riding with her in the back seat when she took her test. She made a couple of big mistakes. At the end of it he goes "what are we going to do about you?" Then he said to the examiner doing the test "go on, you can pass her.,"
The way you give feedback is so calm and friendly, also highlighting what went well. I wish my driving instructor was like that 😂😂
Ahhhh I promised I wouldn't do this as its a bit of a cliche BUT why not!!!
I am now part of the passed but still watching gang.
I passed 2 days ago (with 4 minors) and I am still buzzing. Such a relief.
If I didn't find this channel last year along with my new instructor I definitely wouldn't have passed.
(Having the right instructor for YOU is paramount. Everyone will recommend the instructor they used once they passed but they have to match you and also your learning style).
Blessing to you Pin because these videos definitely added more foundation and knowledge to my learning. You really can learn from other people mistakes.
For those that have tests coming up. Good luck!!!
1. Watch as many of these videos as possible (including "show me tell me qusetions"
2. Get a good night's sleep (the night before)
3. Have a good breakfast
4. Do a lesson beforehand if you can
5. Believe in yourself. You HAVE to enter that test centre with confidence
It's 35-45 of pure focus then you can relax 😁
I passed my car driving test in 1990, but watching these videos is good as it helps refresh on bad habits. I passed my full motorcycle test in 89 too and you have extra things to consider when riding. I am more aware and focused on a bike than in a car because you almost go into autopilot in a car as it's so easy and you are in a comfortable environment. Every long term car driver should watch videos like these to refresh their basic understanding of the rules. It was relatively easy to pass your test when I did mine compared to how it is now. I am glad it's harder now as the roads are even more dangerous.
Indeed so too.
Passed my driving test today, I can't fully use what your videos teach because I'm not from UK, but they sure helped to be more cautious about certain things. Keep up the great work!
This was great to watch! I feel for Santino on that one way street, as the exact same thing happened to me on a driving test (where I failed due to incorrect positioning on a one-way street). I see so many drivers who drive less well than this lad did, so I’m sure he’ll pass in no time (he may have already!)
Don't stop boy! Confidence is key! Period 💅💅
The trouble with driving on the roads today is you going to run into a situation where you are going to make drastic decisions at some point in time.but the law is the law.im glad this instructor is filming this on his defense as like it or not you do get corrupt instructors out there so shout out to this instructor for his honesty!👍🏻
What most people who are taking their test are not told is that the examiner does not expect you to be perfect. I was lucky when I took my test that he told me this before we set off it made a lot of difference to my confidence I passed first time. I'm convinced the reason I did was that I knew he was not looking for perfection, so remember this when you take your test.
That's a really good point. I was going for my Cat C license back in August 2021 and I was brushing up on a few videos about it on youtube and one of the key parts of information I took away from it was, so long as you're not going somewhere you shouldn't be (weight limit, height/width limit or the wrong way down a one-way street) so long as you do it safely, they won't even mark it down, usually. Just acknowledge the mistake, move safely into the new road and then deal with it be it turning around safely at the next roundabout or just redirecting back to the point you made the mistake.
@@pelicanofpunishment6 Hopefully you passed, but yes so many people take their test as nervous as hell and frightened to make any mistake and as you say as long as the examiner can spot that you are not a danger to yourself and other road users a few mistakes will not make a difference. I think sometimes it just comes down to luck who your test examiner is on the day.
I love how he is very calm and doesn't yell at the person who is taking the test. I took my test a few days ago in the US and I was backing up 50 feet and after I finished the Instructor (person giving the test) yelled at me and said "Sir! Sir! you didn't signal backing up" and I was confused because I didn't know you had to signal backing out if you are going straight. You'd usually only signal if you are backing up and turning right or left respectively. I then asked my friends about it and even my parents and they were all confused because they had no clue where I'd even signal to. I also looked it up on google and found many websites saying if you are backing up straight you don't signal.
Passed my test watching these videos, carryon mate 👍🏽👍🏽
You know when it’s 3am and you’re 22 years old and you already passed your driving test 6 years ago but for some reason you’re watching this
Thank you for watching the channel
if ur reading this goodluck for ur test u got this
This is the perfect lesson to watch for anyone actually going for their test. Gre
Good Luck on your test day, I did the same on my mock today with serious faults I didn’t even know I made, It happens and we learn from them 😌
That first serious error was possibly due in part to the pelican crossing just before the give-way marking. In similar situations I often see drivers go through the green lights without realising that it doesn't give them a clear run across the junction. I guess it's a subconcious reaction: seeing a green light so close to a junction you don't register the "give way".
I’m 14 and going to be taking Driver’s Ed in a few months when I turn 15 and these videos make me nervous and relaxed at the same time 💀
used this channel to pass my car test, 5 months later i have a full class 1 artic hgv licence working for tesco, ty brother
at 18 years old
At first I was like He already failed, he’s on the wrong side of the road lmao
watching these as a driving student who's not from the UK, it really messes with your head 😂
Driving instructors don't get enough credit for the job they do. My instructor made my driving lesson sessions and subsequent tests alot easier by simply understanding what kind of person I am. He noticed quickly in my first session I was a nervous guy and created a calm, reassuring environment for me to work in. I believe this alone got me through some difficult times during it all. My final test was to be done by the strictest examiner in the city, so I was already nervous at that thought. More so, it was the hottest day of July. I felt the odds stacked against me, as I was driving down a road the sweat started pouring off my forehead and started building up in my eyes. Driving now with one eye closed and the other open, both feeling like someones just put vinegar in my eyes for a laugh. On the way back to the driving test center I remembered my instructor say " if you don't do a manoeuvre before you head back to the centre, prepare yourself for a reverse park". I did just that, and I passed first time. It felt anti climactic at first due to the manor which I received my certification when we parked up but after I met up with my instructor again it felt good.
Practice and a good instructor goes along way, stay safe.
I remember when I did my test a few years ago, Was surprised I passed first time as I knew I made three mistakes, lucky they turned out to be minor ones and I only had 5 minor mistakes so passed. Still get these videos popping up now and then since which is nice. Have not really driven in the past year so I should start watching this stuff again and practice some basics
I didn't get the ultimate driving course you talk about but i managed to pass my test yesterday, 30 years old isn't too late to learn! your videos definitely helped me so thank you!
30 years old lol your just a baby, never too old to learn blimey if you think that's late to learn then I really must be getting old.
@@pillred5974 well, the vast majority of people who learn to drive are late teens/early 20s. Fact of the matter is 30 is a lot later than the average
@@pillred5974 Yeah 30 is far from baby.
@@Black.Sabbath Maybe not to a 20-year-old, but wait till you're pushing 70 like me even 40 seems young lol.
I don't even know why I watch these, I'm not even allowed to drive due to an illness and yet I still find it enjoyable.
Thank you for watching the channel
Man that happened to me, I went through the test and felt VERY confident, only to find out that I didn't crane my neck far enough to show the proctor that I was looking before changing lanes and such.
I love watching this knowing I'm never in my life going to pass, let alone try to pass a driving test
Passed my driving test today with one minor at featherstone test center today I failed my first test but watching these videos between lessons has been a game changer thank you pin couldn't thank you enough
Wow, I’m impressed with this kids driving. No minors which are more commonly made then serious faults is really nice to see. REALLY GOOD DRIVING OVERRALL SANTINO!! YOULLL PASS YOUR ACTUAL DRIVING TEST EASILY. ALSO LOVE THE CONTENT Pin. Much love ❤️
Thank you means alot 🙏
he would've passed in america. You guys in the uk do it all wrong
@@asdfmoz3207 I live in USA not the uk
@@asdfmoz3207 uk has very different roads to the US. Doesn't mean our driving is 'wrong' by any means.
I’m shocked at how long in took at that scenario with the minibus blocking the road. I’m surprised nobody let him go as he’s a learner. I try my best to let learners go as not to fluster them.
Back then I was sweating watching these videos and knowing I have my driving test in a few weeks...
Its so nice watching these videos, when you did it, I got my driving lisence in january... did it on my first try, only fault I did was not seeing that I was allowed to drive 100 kph, I still drove 70 kph which isnt something serious...
Instructor just said drive carefully and if you are allowed to drive 100 kph do it.
Anyways good luck to the people who have a driving test in the future...
He will pass in September. He just need to practice and learn from the mistakes from this mock tests. I tell all my students to have a mock test at least 2-3 weeks before the actual driving test to see if there is anything to improve, or I will move the test to another date. Great video.
What i find weird about these UK mock tests is that no-one is mentioning clutch pedal riding. In my country, when you stop for more than a couple of second, you're supposed to go to neutral. Holding clutch for minutes, like Santino did, when waiting for the gas station traffic, would be minor faults. Also, watching Santino's clutch shivers, brings back memmories. When nerves kick in, clutch is the enemy, with the twitching leg xD
Over here you are not supposed to put it in Neutral unless you are parking the car. Of course, once you pass it doesn't matter and you can do it how you like cuz no one will see, but whilst learning and on your test you have to stay in gear
@@fkez0510 yeh for my motorbike test I was told to stay in gear, keep the clutch dipped and keep the rear break applied, but the instructors just put their bike in neutral and had both feet on the ground. Your hand gets very achey if it’s a long wait ahah
here in Slovakia I don't know if you can put it in neutral when waiting for a long time, but I have never done that when I was in driving school and nobody said anything about it
damn. i saw his legs but i thought it was just the car making him do that. i had those shakes to. does not feel good.
He had terrible clutch control
I remember on my test examiner got me to parallel park up a 10% hill road between two close cars. Still smashed it
Just one thing I would add. When he was driving up the 2nd one way street and turned right at the ford garage I would always recommend checking both ways on the off chance some banjo comes thru the lights on red in either direction.
I have been driving for 20ish years. You done well, obviously the serious faults were what they were, but overall you were so close to your test pass when this was filmed. Hopefully you've tightened up the mistakes and are now enjoying cruising around 😘
I always feel so sorry for everyone that doenst pass
9:50 maybe you're supposed to be over to the right when turning right out of a one-way street but practically you would be limiting your vision around that corner. It's safer to be at least a little bit over to the left with that building blocking vision.
Watching this males me glad i live in phoenix az for those who dont know our roads are set us as a grid system making most roads straight and 90° turns
Oh lord, I really struggle with feedback if it is worse than I expected. You do a really good job at giving him that feedback, he did do a really good job. I would still nearly cry hearing that I failed, I think.
those one way streets are the worst i never realise them either😭
This dude drives better than my instructors in India.
yea, for those "safe" streets LOL
how about driving on indian steets...
Sweet guy, Santino, and a willing learner. He's sure to become an excellent driver!
This video was a lot more thought provoking. Small things which we may miss out ...ending up failing a test.....always always look for a sign on the road.... especially when Santino did the first serious mistake of not identifying/failing to stop at the give wat sign which was just a meter after the traffic lights...normally we will look at the traffic lights and pass....that was one mistake which anyone would have commited...because we are focusing on the lights there...thereby taking our focus away from the give way sign just a meter away....good lesson for me...
I'm from America, and watching this video almost gave me a migraine lol. I've never driven in Europe before, watching this video and being accustomed to right lane driving my entire life, I felt like my head was going to explode lol!!
As someone from another country which drives on the left side (outside of Europe), UK roads (and some signage) just seems terribly planned. I'd hate to drive there.
My eyes hurt now
it's also alot harder in general. because the us has car dependency and requires every schmuck to drive
Well done to santino! He was very good! I failed one of my mocks for positioning in the left to turn right in a one way.. my instructor said there was a van behind turning right and luckily he held back cos he knew what I was about to do 🤣🙄
I passed mine first time and im happy to say it feels REALLY GOOD to have my drivers lisense all it takes is common sense
Such a nice instructor!
He is very confident, just need to work on his speed ,good luck
Well done for trying for definite you're gonna pass your driving test you're so confident behind the wheel if I was to stick up for you I'd put it down to the weather been extremely hot and the nerves of the cameras because you're a fantastic little driver
Not to mention handsome 😏
@@synthesizerpatel7405 Always
I passed my test today with a perfect score. Parallel parked first try. I can now watch these and chill without stress
This seems like the nicest kid! Hope he was able to pass his driving test.
I did a mock test just before taking my real test and failed miserably, but the pointers helped me pass the real test with flying colors.
If Santino went to the US they would instantly make him a driving instructor. It's a jungle there.
Passed my driving test in manual on my first try. Even though I was feeling under the weather. Trust me… I was hella nervous. Learned the most important thing was to check your mirrors and drive slow.
It did help that my examiner realised I was nervous and was really nice. That helped me relax and enjoy my time driving during the test.
Thank you for these videos, just passed today 😭Felt to cry lmaoo
This is the first time I've been gutted for one of these guys to fail cuz the kid was driving amazingly up until his serious fault
its crazy, i learned driving in germany just a few months ago and im so confused about alle the usage of the handbrake. In Germany, we only use it for parking or reeeeeeealy long wisting times at a train passage or something similar. But to hand brake at every stop like in GB seems so weird 😅
You're taught to do that by instructors but once you pass your test you forget about it.
You don't need to use the handbrake in a test. You have to show you can control the car. But the handbrake on a hill is a big benefit.
Is it a requirement in the UK to use hand break even at normal traffic stops during the driving test? That's really strange and also adds more seconds before you can accelerate when the light turns green. In Sweden we only use it when parking. At traffic stop we just keep the brake down and if it's a long wait like when a train is passing by it's recommended (and required on drivers test) that you shut off the car to save energy and not let it run while standing still
@@vikkran401 no. You just have to be safe and be in control of the car at all times.
@@vikkran401 I was taught to use the handbrake, although it was 25 years ago but as far as I am aware it's not a legal requirement, its a safety thing.
I'm glad I've found this channel just in case I want to learn to drive (the one who drives in the family is my father and he's not doing it much anymore because of health reasons and so I've thought about it a bit more) because it seems to be proper informative like but I think i would be a danger on the roads because I'm still not the best at my lefts and rights despite my age. I also have an anxiety disorder so I probably would be like how my mother was learning to drive and it just got into her head, she couldn't relax during it.
Awesome instructor!! I wish I had one like he is back in the 90 😅
