passed over 3 months ago yet still love watching these, i bet "jason" finds no joy in anything he does in life 🤣
How many hours did you take to pass and I’m a quick learner how long do you think it will take me on average
Passed today after binge watching all your videos! It reminded me of my Physics professor who broke everything down simply when explaining things ahaha
Congratulations!
@@twofootsheep thank you!!
That's fantastic news! Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
i’m really confused about the first serious fault at the roundabout, could you explain? it looked safe
Hi, in my opinion Freya started at 10:00 in the middle lane which (according to the marking) allowed only to go straight ahead, 2nd exit. When entering the roundabout, she didn't go into the correct lane, but drove into the lane right next to this lane which physically also led to the 3rd exit. She should've initially taken the rightmost lane up to the 2nd exit, then signalled left and spiraled out. A bit complicated, but I love roundabouts...@@giovanniiiiillx
You'd be a really good teacher for people with autism or other neurodivergent conditions. The way you describe things and speak is very easy on the ears and brain.
I also just really appreciate the little things he points out, like “what would you normally be doing today.” and then explains why some of the video is cut out. Very nice to make us feel familiar with every little possibility, helps me feel prepared!
Like that that’s a normal question for examiners to ask and why they do it. I love that he explains that
Haha I always role-play the most miserable/grumpy examiner on my mock tests also😂
Kudos for starting with a manoeuvre as well; I like to do that to chuck then straight in at the deep end to see if they can perform under pressure right from the start👍
It’s nice the way in which you give other driving instructors a nod, in a way not to distract Freya.
Jason is back! 🔥
@Freya I hope you pass the actual test soon, best of luck!
I passed my driving test on Monday (20th May), big thank you Richard for your amazing videos - they were a crucial resource for me, particularly the videos about managing driving anxiety :D
She doesn't look that short! She was really stretching for those pedals. Reminds me of short (mostly women) riders of motorcycles. It's hard for me as a tall person to understand just how much more skill it takes.
I’m binge watching your videos. I have my test in 3 weeks. As well as I rewatch the ones I’m not confident at. Thank you for all these wonderful videos
All the best with your test Zirc 👍... I got mine in around 4 weeks , You got this 💪💪
Good luck!
@@sprout-official 🙏🏼 Thank you! You got this too. Good luck!
@@ConquerDriving Hi, I have a question if someone have Tesla and will have lessons in this car (because she’ll be driving it anyway) how it will affect the price of lesson and instructor’s involvement in lessons? Thanks
Passed my driving test today with 6 minors! 🎉
Your videos have been so helpful in giving advice and reducing anxiety over the last few months, thanks Richard! 🤠
About a week prior to my driving test I started watching all your tips which helped me pass my test first time without a problem you truly did help me conquer driving, Cheers Richard Big love from Australia.
Good attempt Freya. Amazing car control for stretching to reach the clutch. A few missed mirror checks; merging lanes, parked cars, change of speed limit; but getting there.
Her car control is impressive.
passed in Colchester and seeing some of the routes I did in my lessons and actual test makes me see in hindsight how easy some of the things I really thought were hard, just goes for anyone learning now if you think driving is hard/frustrating it get's a lot better the more you drive and the more you learn
Finally passed last week with 0 minors after 12 years of on and off learning! I wanted to give a little something to say thank you!
As many people on this channel will agree, your videos were invaluable at supporting my learning- it’s clear how passionate you are and how much effort goes into your content and making it as accessible as possible to different levels of experience
By using your tips I was even able to impress my instructor at times (I recommend people to check out your roundabout/mini roundabout lessons in particular)
Weirdly, on my first test attempt in the morning, I was 5 mins from returning to the test centre when the dashboard warning lights lit up like a Christmas tree! Of all the things to prepare for, a fault with the car wasn’t one I had considered! Even the examiner was stumped. The test had to be terminated (I was on track for a strong pass) but luckily the car was repaired and I was able to do a second test in the afternoon! 😅 not sure if anyone has had this before?
Anyway, good luck to anyone on this channel still on their learner journey, thanks again! 🎉
Watching from Malaysia, have been driving for 2 years. Started watching your videos before I got my license and still love watching them because they're just so enjoyable! The rules here are similar to the UK's so your videos have been a great help. Keep up the good work! 👍
The video gave me more confidence for my upcoming driving test! Thank you so much!
Passed yesterday. Thank you for the sharing. Helped me a lot.❤
Passed first time today, huge thanks for your videos they were a massive help!
Conquer Driving, Subscribed because your videos are so much fun!
Passed my test today with 4 minors, watching you videos really helped.
Thanks.
I love when you put your examiner persona on. There’s something about this one that was especially funny.
Thank you for these videos. These were so critical for me passing last week. I hope Fraya passed her actual test.
That's great to hear! Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
Passed my test 3 weeks ago with only 2 minors and I put a lot of it down to watching your videos. Your explanations of both how to drive and what to actually expect on your test helped massively. Thank-you sir, you are a legend.
You did really well Freya, mock tests usually go wrong that's why you do them to help build your confidence. You even managed fine with old misery, that's a bit scary isn't it after nice Richard? Good Luck with your driving, you'll boss that test when the time comes.
Richard definitely annoyed he failed at being an examiner right at the end 😂 love the vids keep them coming!
Hi, I'm back again.
Just passed my theory today and did my first mock test with my instructor. 10 driver faults and 1 serious ain't too bad, especially as pretty much every fault was observation related. Easily fixed.
I'd like to thank this channel again for being such a positive learning resource. I don't think I'd be this confident without your help from halfway across the country ❤
Hi Rich, I passed today, first time with 7 minor faults. I gotta thank you for making these videos as I didn't always have a car in this journey but was still itching to learn. 😆
Thanks so much for all your driving tips. I learnt how to drive a Mannual car from watching your video, being used to driving automatic cars over the past 10 years, but faced with the fact that I have to learn how to drive a mannual and workout the routes in the UK, your videos were of so much value to my passing my test with just 2 minor fault yesterday. Meanwhile, I drove in Gateshead without the Sat Nav. Thank you so much...❤❤❤❤
Your videos helped me pass, especially over taking/changing lanes and enough space. I'd watch videos before every lesson and before my test a few weeks ago
That's great to hear! Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
Passed my driving test last week! I've been watching your videos since 2023 and I can't thank you enough for how amazing your videos have been for my learning, everytime I had a lesson with my instructor I would watch your videos the night before and it helped me learn so much more. Thank you for everything you do! 🎉
That's really great to hear! Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
Been waiting for you to post a new video so I can say thanks for all the amazing and informative content! I passed last week (16th may) on my first attempt with 4 minors! Watching your videos has been so helpful on top of my lessons! Keep up thr good work 👏 😁
That's fantastic news! Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
im sure you get these comments all the time richard but you're the reason I passed my test this week! took me 6 attempts until i started stress watching these videos and it really made a difference. Got in my own car with barely any nerves
I learned parking reference point from your video and it is very useful! I have passed my practice test in April. Thank you so much. Even though I passed, I would continue to see your videos.😊
Congratulations on passing!
Thank you! Your videos really help me to understand many skills and get the reference point easily. I recommend the videos to all my friends who are learning driving. Support and bless you!
Thanks so much..i just passed my driving test today. I watched many of your videos.
I have passed 2 months ago thank you Richard for the wonderful videos
Thank you Freya for taking part.😮
Good mock test for the viewers to learn and watch.😅
Besides the entertainment value, I think the examiner RP can really help pupils understand what it feels like on a real test. Even though you have broken character a couple of times, so good effort.
I can't believe action cameras can't record for longer than 30 minutes though. 😆
It's the DSLR I use as my main camera and sound that does 29 mins. That's normal for DSLRs though. It's benefits outweigh it's disadvantages for me.
9:49 how is she in the wrong lane at the roundabout when the dotted lane she stayed in went all the way round to the exit without going off into another exit? Also all the large arrows pointed forward (none indicated a right turn) and the sign for the roundabout showed equally thick lines for each exit. Thanks
Edit: I see how the 12 o’clock rule might explain this but surely each roundabout’s signs can be used to correctly use it
That confused me too!
yeah, I was confused by that part as well. Especially since Richard mentions there could be a danger
I'm confused too. She took the wrong exit but looks to me she did it safely, I'm not sure what's caused the serious.
The driver is in the middle lane which is marked to follow the road ahead and turned right. The lane to her right is also marked as able to follow the road ahead. This can easily cause a crash with someone who might have used the right-hand lane to follow the road ahead.
In my experience, faults like this have been marked as both a serious for markings and a serious for mirrors change direction, so even if she did notice and check the mirrors on the roundabout, I don't think it's passable.
@@user-mv5zt8qd9l in your example though, wouldn’t that mean the person in the right hand lane who’s trying to exit at the road ahead is not following the 12 o’clock rule so could be at fault?
On second review, maybe she should have taken up the left hand lane once she entered the roundabout if she was starting in the middle lane? Maybe that’s what Richard meant
Also I would love to see the full debrief in future!
She's pretty good and confident. Just a bit more practice and she'll be fine.
Got my test tommorow morning so binge watching ahhh
Like you said 1500 examiners and allthough they have guidelines they all have there own slant on a test .Well done to your pupil for taking that pressure .. A good safe driver in the making..
Learning from others mistakes is definitely the best method to learn
Freya deserves a lot of credit for allowing herself to be filmed during such a nerve wracking experience! She is clearing going to be a very good and safe driver when she passes her test
The type of Sat Nav they use on test does tell you which way to turn at roundabouts and the exit number. The second exit on a roundabout could be left, straight on or right depending on road layout. However on test Sat Nav says Go left, Cross the roundabout or Go right followed by 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc. exit. This helps sort out lane choice significantly. If the Sat Nav wanted you to do a U turn it would say Go around the roundabout 3rd, 4th, 5th exit etc.. The actual route as on your unit and the unit on test is displayed as a graphic map with diagram of the layout.
Today passed 🎉 my driving test in 3rd attempt. Heavy rain made me think i have failed but kept trying. All those who are struggling like me, do not give up. Driving was my phobia once. Trust on God❤. Success is yours!!!! Thank you for the videos sir!! Hats off
Got my third test tomorrow. Feel like I've watched every one of your videos twice by now Richard! Hope I pass this time ☺️
How did it go?
@@comfortzone5618 Passed with no faults!
Hi Francis. Great mock test. Did you forget to ask a car knowledge test before driving off? Cheers
I passed my driving test yesterday with 1 minor your videos helped thanks 👍🏽
That's fantastic news! Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
Think abit of work needed on not coasting when slowing down, seems to be keeping the foot on the clutch and on the break. Worth practicing slowing down and changing down to a lower gear and then clutch and break when coming to a stop but otherwise pretty good, good luck with your test 🙌
Freya seems lovely, hope we get more mock tests with her but I'm sure she'll pass in no time.
Hello Conquer driving I am Zulfiqar Ali Mughal a CZcamsr watching from Hyderabad City Sindh Pakistan ❤
Jason was hilarious, poor Freya! 😂
Good luck to everyone with upcoming tests. I hope you all pass! 😊
The examiners at my test centre are so happy, they all come out cracking jokes 😅 wish everyone got examiners like that.
Hello Sir,
I have been watching your videos for a year now.
I want to request you to make a video on
"How to drive a car with wing mirrors only".
As most of the time, family members would be sitting at back seat which makes center rear view mirror ineffective.
Looking forward for the video
Regards,
Baltej Singh
That ending was brilliant 😂😂
But I'm curious @ 8:30 how it's a fault coz there's a road on the left before the exit, or perhaps since its a one way street the left signal wont be misleading. Interesting 😊
It's because the road joins after the exit rather than on the roundabout. The road sign indicates there is only one exit there and the road markings ahead shows the edge of the roundabout just before the lane splits (albeit the markings aren't the best). The first signal died and she forgot to reapply it on approach.
I'm not really sure who the signal would be useful to anyway, especially when the driver is passing that road immediately after the exit?
It's a one way street she is passing, no one should be coming out of that road. She needs the signal to help others joining the roundabout know she is leaving.
Jason got that DVSA military training
Dry steering may be frowned upon but there are times it must be done.
05:44 I like how she says YES😂
Just had a mock test today, just to mention, i was told that the examiner expects you to leave 1-2 car lenghts when reverse parallel parking, and they wont tell you about that in the exam. Good luck everyone!
I failed all 3 of my mock tests but did pass first time last year and learnt so much for my mocks. Richard have you a video of driving different cars? My cars gone in for repairs today and the insurance sent me to Enterprise and I’d asked for a small hire car but got upgraded to an SUV and so different to my little i10 but got home ok. I’m nervous about driving in the rush hour tomorrow and parking will be fun as seems such a huge car to me!
I had that happen to me! I drive an i10 and got upgraded to a much bigger car when hiring a car. I actually didn't find it much of an upgrade initially because I was so nervous about the big car. It did have a reversing camera and sensors though, so it was actually okay to park.
@@ruth649 I’m so use to my i10 automatic now and the Seat Arona seems huge in comparison! I drove home the back roads route carefully and it is a great car to drive but just not use to a big car. Not sure if I’ll be brave enough to drive it to work or not in the rush hour. This was the smallest automatic Enterprise had (I did pass manual but have fibromyalgia so automatic is a lot easier)
I have an i20 and there's no way I'd want to drive an SUV! Give me something small that doesn't need a few hundred quid to fill the tank of and that I can do a nice 3-point turn in a tight road with (as I had to do a few days ago after I took a wrong turn!).
@@Teverell Just glad this is a smaller SUV but still seems huge to me, love my i10. and it’s turning circle is good and yes easy to do 3 point turns and park too. I’ve not got a clue how I’ll park this tank and it might well stay sat on my drive until my cars repaired. I drove it home fine but quiet on the roads compared to the morning rush hour so think I’ll be getting a taxi for work but will go out locally when it’s quieter as might as well try the car out.
That roundabout in min 10:00 response to road markings, I get approaching in the lane that is for exist straight ahead but actually middle lane on roundabout she joined did lead her onto third exit as well (as the outer lane). So she did not even have to change lanes to exit roundabout. So lane was drawn in that way to lead you out straight or onto the next right exit. Is that really a mistake to follow that lane if she was indicating right?
I feel like the The roundabout at 10minutes is a fail anyways as there were three lanes. The left most lane was left only. So she was in lane 1 for straight on on approach and the right most lane is the lane 2 for straight on. So after the first exit, she should have already gone the the left most lane on the roundabout straight away, but she went into the middle lane instead, which if there was a car in the right lane, she would have cut that car off at that point.
11:00-ish. If it's two lanes in and (briefly) two lanes out, wouldn't taking the right lane be an acceptable option? I didn't see a right-only arrow on the road.
Could you make a video on how you plan your routes and how you tailor it for each pupil's learning needs? Is it as straightforward as plotting it on a map or is there more to it?
Thank you for your suggestion. I may do in the future.
Are you allowed to cross the solid white line of a bus lane to turn left and right and to enter a driveway?
Hi Richard,i faild my first attempt of driving test yesterday with one serious fault(roundabout third exit i mistakenly choose left lane for turning right)which i never did on my lessons and private practice,i went for test in my own car,i did 3 minors,but after failing the test i am very disheartened because i worked really hard,but now i lost all my intrest,i cried whole night and even now nothing is calming me down,can you please make a video how to settle emotionally after failing the test,kind regards.
Hello brother can you make a video u turn with pedal cam that would help me a lot. 🙂
It looks uncomfortable for her having to stretch for the clutch like that. Good that not all cars are like that as I'm a short person myself and I have to have the seat pulled all the way froward in my instructor's car
My wife's test examiner hadn't used deodorant and he smelt. It gave her headache and she failed her test. She passed eventually. I think examiners should check themselves and be at least clean and not wearing lots of aftershave or perfume either. It can be distracting being in a car with that.
i have been watching your videos since I started learning to drive. I would like to request to take a mock test with you. I am planning to take my test as soon as possible as I feel I am ready for the test but would love to take a mock test with you and see where I am after taking 75-plus hours of driving lessons with my instructor. please give me a chance to take a mock test with you.
My mom has a similar problem - her feet have trouble depressing the clutch fully even with the seat fully up ahead. Any advice?
A cushion behind the seat may help. I would advise testing different cars and changing if possible.
37:26 almost like he wanted her to fail!
i’m really confused about the first serious fault at the roundabout, could you explain? it looked safe
25:17 how does a car “give way” when they have priority on a road? Isn’t safer to wait?
24:16 really fast stop
Sir does the knee method work for automatic cars too for turning ?
Yes, it's to do with where you're sitting.
I just passed my test last week😊
Supposing I get a serious fault in the reverse park like the very first one the learner got there. Why should faults like those go down as serious ones yet nobody will have been affected by what I will have done supposing I park further away from the kerb with nobody around? Or does it depend on the likelihood of causing accidents?
its the danger i think, im no expert
The way he acts as an examiner is really how they are 😂😂😂
You didn't do anything to avoid the curb being hit by pulling the wheel toward it. It was fine and if it wasn't, the wheel grab wouldn't have saved it. 9:49 is also not a serious, the lane choice was fine.
Going right in the middle lane in that roundabout causes danger especially as the right lane can go ahead.
@@ConquerDriving You surely can't fail somebody when they followed the lanes correctly. The markings on the lanes being questionable is another issue. I looked up the roundabout and I can see there are cars doing exactly the same thing, which doesn't necessarily mean it's correct but in this instance, it doesn't seem to be incorrect either.
Hi friend, love your videos! I’m an American who frequently travels to UK for work and fun and your videos have been immensely informative when it comes to driving in UK.
If you’re open to the idea, I would love to be featured in one of your videos! I can give you and your audience my perspective on UK driving as an American driver of 10 years, and you can perhaps watch me drive and point out just how many mistakes I would be making on British roads😅. Let me know if that is something you’re willing to do! I can either bring my car and come to you or you can come to me with your car (in UK of course).
We may be able to do something. You can contact me via Conquer Driving's website.
She needs to bring the seat closer
does one serious result in a fail for driving test?
10:05 Why is she in the wrong lane here? Looks perfectly fine to me, she doesn't cut across any lanes and sticks to her lane and comes off the roundabout perfectly fine. Both lanes have the forward arrow on them so I really don't see the issue?
She is going right and she is in a lane for ahead. She should be in the right lane. The added danger is the right lane and also go ahead. This video may help: czcams.com/video/koK_a4KYs-E/video.htmlsi=B4bPsUROPWem5ZHW
@@ConquerDriving Great thank you.
Ah okay I see the problem now, that's a very confusing roundabout. 2 lanes coming on and only 1 coming off straight ahead so someone in the right lane going straight on has to cut across and potentially block the roundabout waiting for a spot to come off. Seems very dangerous to me but I see the problem now. if someone in the right lane was going straight on she would have cut into them causing an accident. Why on earth didn't they make the right hand lane a dedicated turn right lane? I don't know this area and that roundabout would have confused the hell out of me if I was in the right hand lane and wanted to go straight forward, cutting across lanes and potentially into people to come off.
@@ConquerDriving What is that lane on the left a bit later at 10:10 for?
Rich needs a 15 min debrief after that examiner role play 😂
Is it possible to pass the test if you forget to wear the seatbelt when driving off?
I took someone on test last year who drove off without her seat belt. As soon as she left the test centre and started speeding up, the alarm went off and she immediately went for her seat belt. The examiner got her pulled over (had to tell her to signal because she forgot). Interestingly, there was no mark for it on her test report.
@@user-mv5zt8qd9l I know of a similar case. I guess it's alright to not remember the seatbelt.
You want to see harsh examiners? Come to RSA Killester Driving Test Centre, Dublin, Ireland they will let you know they take you tough routes which 50% of people would fail.
Day 5 : Asking Richard to do a recreational drift video
WHAT ON EARTH IS SHE DOING WITH HER CLUTCH FOOT SO HIGH OFF THE FLOOR????????????????
Ayy, it's been a while since we got one of these. I do enjoy these mock test videos. Most other instructors who do youtube videos as well belittle and mock their students for making mistakes just to get those clicks. Not you though.
Not being funny, if Richard were to be a real driving examiner no one will pass there driving test with him.
😂😂😂
It's actually a good thing for him to seem strict / be strict. What happens if you get a strict examiner but you're sloppy? You spent money on a test, money to rent a car for the day probably, all to not get a pass because your instructor was too soft on you
If I was a real examiner I would be more lenient. I mark my mock tests based on the harshest examples I've witnesses.
Is Jason his twin brother?
Being a nob really doesn't suit you Richard 😉
Hi why did you forward the video? We want to see the whole part of driving thats why we are in your channel watching these videos.
It's because nothing of any import happens during those parts.
