Driving test at Barking? You need this driving test walkthrough. I take you around a driving test route at Barking and show you how to pass like a driving instructor.
I was soooo excited to stop watching driving videos after I passed my test and here I am panicking because I’m actually expected to drive independently so I need to continue watching videos😂 because you don’t really stop learning, it’s continuous.
🤣 please dont stop watching driving videos! But also you got this!! You're always still learning but you'll do it best by just getting out there and DRIVING!!
In my opinion, the way it's expected to drive safely in the UK is better than the way they urge you to drive correctly in Germany (for a driving test). Since i watch Videos like this and compare it to similar ones in "my country" I like much more the pragmatic style in the UK.😊🎉
I passed yesterday first time after chronically watching your videos a week up to my test. I picked up lots of things my instructor didn’t teach me. 🎉 thank youuuuu!
Francis' thoughts are exactly how I took my learning to driving when I was learning at the start of last year but also still now even though it has been a year since I got my full licence, I don't need the car for work, it is purely for social and a bit more freedom but I went full force with it and took it very seriously. I was always watching a variety of youtube videos about driving alongside my lessons each week, especially this channel and Conquer Driving, and I still watch them all now because driving is a life skill. I displayed to the examiner last year that I was safe enough to pass the full test (I had 1 minor for planning and awareness) but even now I am still learning various things through videos because any kind of scenario can occur and it is great to see other's views and understanding, like Francis mentioned, there could be 101 different scenarios.
I passed last week in Hendon, London, with 0 minors!! I was so sure I failed as I accidentally did 26 in a 20 for a full minute but when I pointed it out my examiner said she didn't count it as I had good control, there were no people around and I had a perfect drive otherwise. So lucky!!!
Great video as always, Franco! It really helps to see you drive through such a busy and challenging test route such as this. I'm still avidly watching your content and other driving videos because I really REALLLLLLY want/need to be able to actually take my test this time in August and not have to cancel it. I'm turning 50 (yikes!) this September and I want to give myself the best present I can ask for at a 'pass'. I will keep you updated as always.... 😉
Gosh Steveo!! I really hope you get to do the test this time! Its such good experience even if it's only for learning, and you have to come back again. I'll have my fingers crossed 'til august!!
This route looks nice and chill, I think I would feel more relaxed doing my test in low speed/slow moving traffic. All of the routes in Middlesbrough have stretches of 50 or 70mph roads with big intersection roundabouts, which are what I'm most nervous about. I'm trying to familiarise myself with the lane layouts and approaches to those roundabouts using Google Maps, so I know what I'm deadling with.
Omd I did this test centre on my first test I got 1 serious 3 minors I couldn’t believe I failed ngl apprantly I signaled way to early when he ask me to park up I couldn’t believe it pretty harsh tbf
Its nice to see you back in my area haha tbh driving here isn't as difficult as it may seem or usually told lol Fun fact: I almost failed 30 seconds into my test
This video is just cool. I have booked my practical test already. I came here to prepare for it. I have a question: I could drive both manual and automatic before moving to the UK, if I feel confident after online lessons, can I do my practical test without having a training with a physical instructor?
Hi Francis, sorry for the random question but just wanted to ask you something, I’ve found this online, a solid white line marking indicates the boundary of a cycle lane, motorists are not allowed to cross this line and enter the cycle lane, except when turning or crossing a driveway, so you’re allowed to cross the solid white line of a cycle lane when turning or when entering or leaving a driveway?
That’s a very good fair comment, I’ve seen so many different opinions online about this, it should be made clear in the Highway Code, it only says you must not drive or park in a mandatory cycle lane during its hours of operation, it doesn’t say anything about crossing the line to turn into a road or onto a driveway.
Can i take lessons with driving school tv before my test in September 20?😮 3:43 good advice for viewers 😊 12:59 a hazard Good example in a hazard perception test😅 26:28 can i take a mock test for Yt?🎉 30:25 mitcham in south west London.
@@DrivingSchoolTV yay. It's probably very easy for you, but I failed lots of times in Crawley before I quit driving/learning some 13 years ago!! ps- liked and subscribed
I am doing my test at goodmayes which crosses over 100% with the route you took. Would have had my test last tuesday but DVSA cancelled on me an hour before :( I HATE driving round this area, turning right onto ilford lane (the last busy highstreet in the vid) also I find it really difficult to read road markings on the "square-about". I know the area so I know where I need to go, but I have l always asked my instructor how I am meant to know where to go if I was new to the area. Some of the markings are very worn, others are just placed at the last possible moment. It was nice to see how you handled all those situations though:)

You probably will still watch driving videos 😂 I passed nearly 5 months ago and I’m still here for funsies
I passed my test almost a year ago and I'm still here watching mock tests and driving videos. It's fun being on the other side 😁🎉
As I've repeated previously, I passed over two years ago,and I still watch these videos.

This man does not lie when he says THE BEST show me tell me questions video!!!!!
hah ahh THANK YOU!
So glad I passed my test on Monday at Barking✌🏾✌🏾☺️☺️☺️
Congraaaats!!!
Sitting my test here in the next month or so. Just what I need. Thank you 🙏🏾
Whenever I do end up doing my driving test, I’ll be doing it in Nottingham - watnall. Can’t wait for the freedom

Good job
Francis,you should do one of those "most dangerous roads abroad" challenges.
Its nice to see you back in my area haha tbh driving here isn't as difficult as it may seem or usually told lol
Fun fact: I almost failed 30 seconds into my test

I really like these types of videos Francis! #waze user also! Pls make more videos like this!
I will!
I had a lesson the other day was on a 30 was doing 28 and someone over took me would I get fault for that
Come to City of Southend-on-Sea been voted as the worst place in the country for potholes and road conditions
HA! You can say that again (and a lot more about it) - (an ex-Sarrrrfender here)
Can you try to do a wanstead test route thanks 👍
Hi Francis, sorry for the random question but just wanted to ask you something, I’ve found this online, a solid white line marking indicates the boundary of a cycle lane, motorists are not allowed to cross this line and enter the cycle lane, except when turning or crossing a driveway, so you’re allowed to cross the solid white line of a cycle lane when turning or when entering or leaving a driveway?
How else would you turn into the road or get on to your driveway otherwise?

Yes, What Haydn said 😊 Thanks!
How about a bus lane, are you allowed to cross the solid white line of a bus lane to turn left and right and to enter a driveway?
Can you do Hornchurch please xx
Could you possibly do a Hornchurch version in the next week or two?
I can tryyyy
@@DrivingSchoolTV thank you 🤞

@@DrivingSchoolTV yay. It's probably very easy for you, but I failed lots of times in Crawley before I quit driving/learning some 13 years ago!! ps- liked and subscribed

It was nice to see how you handled all those situations though:)
