- Exam: How to Deal With The Unexpected. In this video I talk about unexpected things that can happen at the driving exam and how to react to them: other road users, hidden traffic signs, bad luck, anticipation, being autonomous and so on. I also explain why the fact that people have failed once or more times doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re bad drivers.
Note: While I try to make my videos as universal as possible, rules and laws may vary according to the place where you’re driving and might be different from the ones in this video. Always drive according to the laws and rules that apply to the place where you are driving. Requirements at the driving exam may also be different than the ones shown here. Always respect the requirements that apply to the place where you are passing your driving exam. This video is not legal advice, and is not meant to replace your official driving courses. By doing anything presented in this video, you assume full responsibility for anything that may happen.
When they say driving requires 110% it’s true you must pay attention to everything. Highway driving much more relaxed city driving requires way more attention.
Especially on a weekend night when you got drunk people walking around the streets not looking.
@@ClaudioProductionsX yep or someone hitting you from the back or switching into your lane without checking and hitting you
Highway driving is a lot easier until you get a guy pulling out in front of you while cruising at 60 mph lol
City accidents are more common, highway accidents are usually worse when they do happen
I cheated in getting my license, I went to a suburban quiet city just to do my exam. Everyone cooperated because there were barely any people and construction there. Thank you for teaching us to anticipate in this video, really helpful!
That's not cheating. That's being smart. I'll talk about that in my next video.
I don’t get how you cheated
@@Raphael-sk9pv Very light traffic, easier to drive
Everybody big man was once a cheater
@Just Alex yes but he chose a city with less people so less traffic
OMG... This video, this is something I really wanted to hear. Sometimes it is not you, but the unexpected. Thanks for that. I will have my driving test on Thursday. I am a bit nervous, I've been watching your videos and I've learned a lot. Wish me luck guys! I will really appreciate.
Good luck man
Good luck for your exams👍
Good luck!
I pray you have an extremely smooth test and get the license 🙏🏽
Good luck!
tl;dr: failure happens. Just keep trying :)
I failed the road test twice due to parallel parking failures. This discouraged me a lot, and I felt like I myself was a failure.
The third time I took the test, the examiner said "do you want the good news, or the bad news?" I like to get the bad news out of the way first, so I said "bad news". He said "there is no bad news, ya passed!" And the overwhelming relief I felt wasn't comparable to anything I'd ever experienced.
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.
I knew an examiner that used to ask that good news - bad news question at the end too. He would always give the bad news first, and it was: You're going to have to pay for your driver's license today. Which meant that the good news was that the student passed.
@@ConduiteFacile haha that's actually quite funny, sounds like a decent guy
what state do you have parallel parking tests in?
@@tannerphillips4456 Canada
I wasn't really taught how to parallel park and was glad when I didn't have to do it for my test haha. I know how to do it now though!
Becoming a defensive driver is the best way to go. There is just way too many people on the road who can be indecisive and inconsiderate of others. I always tell people when you learn to drive you need to learn to watch your surroundings, use common sense, and adapt.
Yup.
I went for my drivers exam today and binge watched your videos. They were sooo helpful and im proud to say I passed my exam. Thank you so much!
Nice. Congrats!
He's right about having bad luck.. during my driving test a car backed into me with 15seconds, I thought I failed but he said it wasn't my fault. I ended up passing it, he's never had someone get into an accident before
😂
Damn this is golden advice even for someone who has had a driver's license for a while. I'll add one more advice here, from personal experience, similar to the kid on the bike example from the video: if you make a left turn at an intersection to enter another street, and there is a car that stopped past the crosswalk to give you right hand priority, they stopped after the crosswalk because (in my case) there were other cars parked on the 1st lane or for whatever other factors their visibility was poor. In that situation, be extremely careful that there might be children crossing the crosswalk behind them, and if they are less tall than the car, you won't see them. I've once almost ran over two kids who just showed up from behind the car as the nose of my car was right at the crosswalk. Thank god I didn't hit them, if they were one step further...
i remember when i was in my 20's once. I hit a kid. Which at first sounds bad, but i think i did a fairly good job for the situation. The kid ran out from between 2 parked cars. So when i seen him, turned a little while hitting the brakes. Actually it was kind of funny because he bounced off the side of my car, he got up and ran somewhere. Not funny of course for how bad things could have been. If i would have been slow to react, i would have hit him with the front of the car probably.
the driving test here in mexico is only driving around a single street and parking in reverse lol im thankful
I'm driving instructor and i learn some things from you.Your videos help me to teach my student easily.Thanks!
Zdraveite, kak moga da se svurja s vas?

I’ve been driving for about a year and thanks to your videos I became a better driver . I really appreciate the effort you put into them and I always come back to learn something new . Thanks man!
Glad to help!
I passed last thursday on the 23rd. Your vids really helped with my confidence behind the wheel and my understanding of how to drive in general. It only been a couple of days but its already SOOO nice to be free to go wherever I want. Thank you!!
I passed my exam, and I got my driver´s license but I cannot drive because I panic about unexpected situations, this video helped me to understand what clues I have to pay attention to in this kind of situation, thank you!
You are a great teacher and also a great editor! I absolutely love the videos, I'm doing my exam in two weeks and I'm feeling a lot more confident with your channel, thanks!
Thanks. Good luck for the exam.
I have my exam in two weeks and you upload this. You've been the most helpful channel I've found. Binged all of your content in two days 😂
Greetings from Uruguay
Cool. Good luck!
I love seeing all the streets right next to my house makes me feel at home... good video
I will have my exam tomorrow. 2nd try. I failed my 1st because I was too nervous and because of that I stalled multiple times. From now on I will put a 1st when I'm moving REALLY slow. A basic concept that I was not using when I approached the roundabout.
Edit: I PASSED!!!!! :D
hurray, CONGRATULATIONS, RICARDO!!!
@@okie1630 Thanks!!
I can kinda relate myself to what you said in this video. It’s always because of that one serious or one dangerous fault that got me a fail. After failing on my third attempt, the instructor who taught me was getting abit annoyed and told me that I was so close at passing if it wasn’t for that one unlucky mistake! But I’m glad that I managed to pass on my 4th attempt, I’ve also learned that having a proper mindset is very important at passing the test, which is to stay alert and look for any hazards ahead at all times, and try to plan early when possible. Luckily, in the UK we don’t have to take a driving test on a snowy/foggy day due to safety reasons
Here they also cancel the exam sometimes if the weather is really bad.
This guy is the best driving teacher in the world; listen to him.
You’re great in teaching .we become confident after watching and listening to your videos. Thanks.
Alhamdulillah finally I passed my driving test after trying four times
Better late than never. Congrats!
I passed my exam today. Thank you for your great videos. I couldn't have done it without your videos ❤️❤️
Nice. Congrats!
Thank you for saying that failing the exam doesn’t mean that you’re a bad driver. I failed my exam a few days ago. I got very stressed because of the examiner and I happened to book the time when everyone was leaving work.
Wow, thank you for this!!! last month, I failed because I did not give a right of way to other vehicle when I was turning left and she was going straight, I stopped waited for her to move, but she did not so I decided to go and that failed me. Now I am doing it again Tuesday, wish me luck!
Good luck!
This is an awesome video! Lately during my practice drives people have been tailgating me. It’s so dangerous because I live in a city where people often walk out into the street or turn out from side streets. I’m really worried that I’ll get rear ended when I make the necessary emergency stop. There are a lot of variables in driving. I want to be prepared for all of them.
I'm going to watch these videos. I just got my first car and I literally already fucked up. My dumb ass didn't know the rain would mess with my braking so I hit someone. I'm just glad both cars were mostly OK, probably just cosmetic. It was scary as he'll and I'm gonna focus and slow down as much as I can when driving next time. More car space 100 percent
Rain does affect grip yes: czcams.com/video/PgRz1boA1ZQ/video.html
@@ConduiteFacile omg thank you, my hero
So true about being proactive. Always thinking 5 steps ahead of them. It's tiring but that should be done when driving.
I have passed the road test but watching your videos stills helps after that, thanks for sharing these videos, it really helps me a lot.
The thing is. In austria you cant misjudge yellow lights. Shit is blinking green 4 times in an intervall of half a second. so you get 4 seconds to react. if it blinks you stop. if you cant stop in time without endangering anyone else go
i've been driving for three years now and looking at this video tells me about stuff that i naturally implemented to my driving which is good, also never be afraid to check ur blind spot a few times to be 100% sure you can turn
Do you mind me asking where the blind spot is? I’m trying to learn as much as possible before I even go and try to get my permit/license
I love how rookies abroad think they have it hard - come to India.
These videos have been so helpful to me for years, thank you so much for the good work 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Where I live before yellow light ignites, the green light will be blinking for few seconds and then turn into a yellow, which makes it easy to evaluate whether you'll be able to pass it on time.
I totally agree that there is a good shear of luck whether you pass it or not, I personally passed the exam by driving slower costing a non-critical mistake of making all other traffic slow down because of me, however that bought me some time to react more quickly to unexpected stuff like people comming out throught parked cars, traffic light changes, some dumb asses making turns without using a turn signal and so on.
Not all cities have green lights like that.
Those yellow lights can be difficult to navigate on a test. I find when I get to one without a countdown, you get to the intersection, it turns yellow and stopping abruptly would almost be worse so I do go through yellows in every day driving. If you're at one of these intersections without a countdown, you're driving at normal speeds. I'm sometimes doing 60 kms and it turns yellow as I get there, its difficult to stop! I go through it. But on a test, that would be a automatic fail. They should eliminate this on tests. I don't find it fair. More so when there's no countdown to help you at the intersection. Its like trying to guess when that light will turn yellow.
Most people do that. Indeed it can be more dangerous to stop suddenly, because usually, the driver behind is expecting you to pass it. But some people do exaggerate.
@@ConduiteFacile I had situation like that in my exam and i passed it because the examiner determinated that me stoping would be more dangerous then going throught yellow light. also i had a guy who was just sitting on a green light forever to the point i really wanted to honk at them but didnt at the end hah
Not sure if you'll see this comment, but just wanted to send a big thank you for all your videos, especially this one! I've failed a couple of times already and it discouraged me and gave me so much anxiety, but remembering what you said helped a lot (and maybe with a little bit of road luck). For those who is feeling like it'll never happen, it will one day and like what was said in the video, Proactivity, Anticipation, Moving your eyes, and ultimately "There's worse things in life than this" ☺
I think this is something every driver, even after passing the road test should watch too
i learned to drive and stay on my lane just by watching your videos. before it was hard for me to drive the first few days because i could not stay on my lane, it was like a little bit of a wiggly drive to stay on my lane. lol but when i saw one of your videos when you said, "look where you want to go" then automatically that really helped me how to stay on my lane hahaha now i know how to drive. it was like my eyes and my hands synced in to do the work. thank you.
That's what usually happens when you look at the right place.
Cheers.
@@ConduiteFacile thank you so much😊
i passed my driving test a long time ago. I stay calm pretty calm while driving. the only thing that i had a little troubled with was parallel parking but i manage to did it well enough to pass
I've been watching your videos for a while and just passed my test not long ago. Thank you so much for your tips! 🙌🏾🔥
Congrats!
Thanks to you and your all videos...I got passed in my driving test last week
Congrats!
No exam should be failed due to out of control situations
After some years of exp, i realised that driving a Car requires literally 360° vision most of the time... Looking over the shoulder is also needed, don't hesitate to go for it but also stay aware of your surroundings
Trying to learn driving for college. Want to become a responsible driver (most of the time ). This is honestly a great video.
This is the right video I need for the moment , to bring back the confidence…..
I have my exam tomorrow and I’m just binge watching your videos to make sure I don’t mess up
Good luck!
been driving for years now and it a great example you present keep it up for the new drivers
Awesome video man. Passed my exam a long time ago, but I'm still subscribed bc your videos are so much fun to watch. PS. The footages you included in this video could've been shot in 1-2 days simply by driving around the Montreal area. It's like a whole other planet, what's wrong with you guys?
I hate it when aliens randomly show up to fight you in your drivers exam X)
I think this exam was in Roswell.
A story to complement this video:
I was learning how to drive in a francophone country, while knowing very little French (upper A2 at best). Sometimes I struggled due to sheer mental overload of translation, driving and talking to the instructor at the same time. Before exam another instructor noticed my hesitation about passing intersections with traffic lights. He explained how to go about it right there, while I was still driving. In that moment I felt like I understood the explanation.
Next day at the exam, while approaching an unfamiliar intersection with construction works, I made a mistake and examiner stopped the car - an automatic fail. Everything else we did before and after that moment was marked as perfect on the final result.
Before new attempt I asked my instructor for another explanation, but this time we weren't driving and I prepared Yes\No questions beforehand. We practiced after and my brain immediately felt at ease with this element. Actually focusing on the explanation, understanding it 100% and being able to ask solid questions for clarification purposes made everything much simpler.
Second exam was a success.
Key lessons are: 1) make sure you understand what you need to do. Memorization =\= understanding. The latter is better and safer. If you are not 100% confident with that, ask questions. 2) try to divide moments when you learn new information and when you practice it. Learning and understanding something new while you doing an unfamiliar task is harder than one might expect. If I would do it all over again, I'd gladly exchange 5 minutes of driving for a Q&A time.
p.s. Thank you @Conduite Facile for educating people about driving. Your multilingual approach was an immense help for me in getting french drivers license, something which I thought was absolutely impossible without at least B2 level french. Merci beaucoup Monsieur !
What you say about verbal communication is absolutely true. Sometimes students think that because they've paid for a practical course, and you stop them to explain something, that you're ripping them off. When you're in your early stages of learning something, it's very hard to do what you're learning and trying to understand someone that's giving you information at the same time.
It's like planning. When doing a project, often people see planning as a waste of time, because they want to get into the nuts and bolts of the project right away. But a good planning will save you enormous time in the end.
That goes for a lot of stuff in life. Take the time to think it over before you do it. You'll save a lot of time, money, and stress.
P.S. I once gave a 12 hour course to a student who didn't speak a single word of English or French, just by gesturing. When she went for the exam, she passed. The examiner came to me and asked me: How did you manage to give her the course? I answered: same way you made her pass the test I guess. Body language.
Merci d'avoir partagé ton histoire. Content que tu aies passé la deuxième fois, et passe une belle journée.
I don't why I am watching this video, I have been driving for 6 years. Your videos are really informative, keep up the good work!
you are the best driving instructor in the world.
the animations in this made me laugh, its a nice touch! haha
Some of the things mentioned here just shows how dangerous driving is and how certain things like signs and light signals are poorly positioned.
Haha already have my driverslicence but I still enjoy watching this 😅😅
8:26 What doesn't make sense is why they would fail the person if say they had to make a sudden movement because of someone else. That happens all the time, with everyone who has a liscense, so it doesn't make sense that they would fail unless they didn't react at all or came close to hitting a person or something.
I don’t have a license and I ride a two wheeler but I learned all this the hard way because I don’t want to die
Long time no see ..😍watching ur channel from Yemen
Cool. Salutations from Canada.
You helped me to pass my test!! Thank you so much
Congrats!
I have a license and passed my road test a while ago but it’s always good to remember these tips especially In the city
I have my driving exam tmr. Wish me luck. Thanks for sharing. I failed twice. I better make it this time. 😢
Am also doing my g on Monday, 3 days from now, I failed my first try am hoping I pass this second time because even though I have been driving on the highway for a year since I got my g2, I still failed my first try on the g, so that is making me nervous.
I have been learning a lot on your channel, am gonna use that knowledge always.
Wish me luck.
I don't even have plans for taking a driving test nor do I plan to drive at all, but this is indeed a good video.
Thank you! I keep watching these videos to pass it first try, here goes nothing :)
what is your advice if someone tailgates you during an exam?
This video is more about life itself than driving
Just got my license in Montreal. Learning a lot with your videos!
Cool. Congrats!
Excellent video and Superb presentation. Thank you very much for such detailed analysis. Very informative. Learned many things.
Many thanks for your videos, Sir! I passed my drive exam last week. I had been watching your videos. I learn a lot! Btw, for a new driver in montreal, is it allowed to stick a "new driver" sticker on the back of car? I'm new to Montreal.
Not really, they don't care lol
@@whosdondada does "they dont care" mean that other drivers won' be patient with new driver? Lol(๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
One of the few scenarios that makes you appreciate your paranoia is when you're driving on the road. Always pay attention.
This unexpected things is a daily routine in my country.
Thanks for the video. That ´s so true that the luck can be a factor to have the driving license. Myself, i went at 10.00 when there is less traffic. In montreal, it is easier to get the licence driver in Henri Bourrasa. In langelier many fails
I remember when i took my exam (Norway) I did 3 mistakes (not severe) and at the end i got questioned what i thought about the exam myself and i explained about those 3 mistakes and how i should have done it and as i was doing so he scratched them out and congratulated me with a 100% mistakefree exam and a pass. By explaining your mistakes you show that you have registered them and know to correct them. Do not try to hide the mistakes, they know ;-)
Yes indeed.
But what do I do when an Alien invasion occurs mid-test?
Fake that you're dead.
In The Netherlands, your driving instructor often train your in an exam area and also nearby the next student.
In Rotterdam I could expect to had my exam in Overschie, Crooswijk, Spaanse Polder Rotterdam Airport, Spangen and a little part of Rotterdam west.
This is, because of the time we had for 1 exam and lucky for my your instructor know this.
You do not know your examiner, till the moment you enter the waiting room of CBR and the route or you have to know the examiner.
Only often he choice one of the direction of the part in Rotterdam I just said.
6:46 *change lanes after looking at the side and rear view mirrors and giving an indicator....
You have been making amazing videos thank you! Please continue making them.
Thank you! Will do!
Why cant they be more forgiving? Examine the drivers judgement, are they safe and careful and know what they're doing. Sometimes yes on a test just like in real life things dont go as planned but as long as everyone's safe its ok.
I absolutely agree with you.
even though I am a leaner across the pond, I find this video very useful
Weird, I’ve been driving trucks for years, why is this shit recommended to me 😂😂
Welp, good luck all you guys taking the exam. Don’t become bad drivers like the rest of em please…
a large truck once cut me off in traffic when I was doing my behind the wheel test.
I passed yesterday but this video is so true. During my exam- there’s construction going on the block she told me to turn into. another car came while I was doing parallel parking
Just to point out all of this is more difficult when your driving a manual car. I have to concentrate on two things at once. When to shift and balance the clutch and look out for danger. Usually most americans drive auto so they can 100% focus on whats around them.
What a great video. Thanks for posting this
I mean at the end of the day it's not necesserily a bad thing that they fail you, you might've lost a lot of money and time but it ensures that you're more confident and a better driver before you can drive on yourown
Well, if you're not ready, you shouldn't go. But if you decide to still go, yes, I agree with you.
You're the best channel! Been trying to contact you to see if you still have room for road lessons. Too busy I assume?
To be honest, I haven't checked my emails for a while. It's mostly spam and companies asking my to product place their stuff. I don't do courses for now. Sorry. Busy filming stuff for the winter.
This is pretty helpful. I started driving a few weeks ago and so far I haven't crashed or got honked at. XD
Great content, he speaks like Zlatan Ibrahimović
While it's true that sometimes you can't expect what's going to happen, that's why in situations where there are many cars on the road you take on a more defensive driving position. I find more accidents happen when there are many cars on the road and a few of those drivers take on the agressive role.
Just the other day I was driving in cramped situations, a bus that just stopped to let passengers off on my right, a row of cars on my left. At any moment any of those cars can cut into my lane because it was the only one where traffic was moving forward.
The bus stopped at a crosswalk to let passengers off. I couldn't see around it but because I was already worried about people cutting into my lane I reduced my speed. This dumb kid, he just got off the bus and tried to Jwalk Boulevard Laurier QcC. I saw the tip of his feet step out from the bus so I simultaneously use the engine break (manual car) and my normal breaks to go from 60 - 0km/h in the length of half of that bus.....That day I almost killed someone through no fault of my own, but I am still legally responsible because I should have been driving at a speed where I can make emergency stops in such a situation.
The unexpected is not a carte blanche and rightfully so, the students who experienced the unexpected during their driving exams need to fail because on the road, you get one chance, one wrong move and it's all over.
Certain things need to be considered when driving at all times.
Time of Day, weather, quality of the road (bumpy, uneven, unpaved, potholes) school hours (entry and exit times, lunch time), school zones, direction of the sun, road size, whether or not cars are parked on the roadside etc... There are so many variables to account for. And driving in and around these situations need to become second nature. Emergency breaking using only the break pedal, and by downshifting if you own a manual car are essential tools. Knowing how much break pressure you can apply, and how quickly you can apply it before the abs system activates is essential knowledge.
For some reason in my school the driving exams were always done in neighborhoods but they were very strict on making sure to look around you at all times
Here too they're done in neighborhoods for the most part.
Thanks ur i way of telling is help full thanks
This top quality video at its peak
you videos are so helpful!
MERCI BEAUCOUP !
wow no wonder my drive is treacherous. it appears remedial driving info is something many folks pick up, or not, after they are granted a license. The US, a 'learn as you go' country. no mystery why the pedestrian / cyclist collision rate is climbing.
6:37 could be a trap if you accidentally go on a left-turn only lane when the examiner didn't ask for it
You need to check that before getting into the lane.
Interesting, in the US you drive in a circle around a parking lot and get your license....
Failed because an unexpected speeding driver didn't give me the right of way and I almost didn't notice him.... my judgment in observation clearly sucks...
Wow bravo for all the good explications
This video really helps. Thanks Conduite
i did the stupidest mistake on my drivers test. I had the right of way but i let the car infront of me go and he shouldve waited. i got myself out of it for explaining it to the intrusctor that i had no idea what i did there it was a stupid mistake and he agreed and said its probably because of the stress of him sitting right behind me. I just had to explain to him what i did wrong and thats it
