Thanks tooo much!!!!
I have already subscribed and pressed the bell icon !
I've passed my test with one driving fault, I couldn't believe it. Anyone who is up to the test soon . Think about the safety not the examiner .good luck all . Thank you isn't enough for this channel.
Well done! 👍🏼😀
The examiners are very nice these days, they really try to put you at ease
Really nice comments 👍
@@forza223bowe5 I hope so! 😅
Hi, Just want to say how much your channel has help me with my driving lessons. I passed first time today with two driver faults. I am over the moon with my result. Keep up the great work on this channel, it really does help.
Excellent! Well done :-)
Just envy 😚😚
I have passed first time yesterday with 0 fault thanks to the Advance Driving School! Your high quality content helped me with my learning driving experience.
That must have been an excellent drive! Well done 😀👍🏼
Thank you 😊 it must’ve been despite the harsh rainy weather during my test. I couldn’t have done it without watching religiously on your channel!
u y.
I PASSED today, so happy with 2 minors, thanks for your videos. Appreciate
Well done 👍🏼😀
Me too haha!!!
Thanks for the insight of being a driving examiner ADS. I knew it was a difficult job, but I didn't know how HARD it really was 😂. I got some clips right, but I put them in the wrong category. For example your last clip with the white car in front. I put that down as "speeding" not "distance" (if you get my drift). It is a very hard job. So I applaud you ADS for the insight and applaud driving examiners around the country.
Such an insightful learning material about driving ! I have learnt a lot from this channel.
Thank you so much good clip to learn for a practical test Im going to give my practical test soon.
Started learning how to drive few weeks ago, and your channel have really taught me how to drive straight using the wiper to connect to the line om the road.
Amazing how no one could get me to learn that but this channel, im learning everyday. Thanks
Thanks - and good luck with your lessons!
I’m currently on my Driving Examiners course so this video is great 👍🏻
really good idea, loved this one the most.
This video is excellent and very helpful. You have the best videos that are helpful for preparing for your drive test
Good and helpful vlog as always, that driver is really calm if it was me I would be sweating 😓🤭
Good topic! I enjoyed this video, very helpful. 👍
Good video everytime there is a new video i watch it
Thanks for your helpful videos...helped me stay calm and pass my driving test by remembering different checks mentioned here...keep 'em coming😊
Glad it helped!
passed first time this wednesday with 4 minors all thanks to this channel. Thank you so much for all your help
Well done! 🚙👍🏼😃
Please make more of this type of video it’s very helpful
I like very much the way you explained us the way to drive very helpful for beginners
Really really helpful videos thanks.
Clip number 14 made my day 😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks for this great video. When overtaking parked cars we don't need to indicate, do we????
Thanks again 😄👍
Very informative & very good 👍🏻
I disagree with clip 3. The road was reasonably straight allowing the driver to see far enough ahead to know that there was no oncoming vehicles. Moving over to the right hand side of the road momentarily opened up the field of vision allowing the driver to see further ahead around the left hand bend. He did not stay in the offside position unnecessarily and returned to his side of the road in plenty of time before the road then went around to the right. The position changes were smooth and controlled. This technique of going offside i believe is taught in Advanced driving.
Very helpful one thank you ADS
Thank you so mucu.......it was a great video have ever seen it helps me a lot to know the driving and serious faults and hw eximaners pick up our faults i have my first exam in march good luck to me .
Excellent video
Superb
Just passed my driving test. Thanks for your videos!.. learned a lot..
Great to hear! 👍🏼
Thank it’s great video
I really like your vedios and explaination
Currently studying for my part 3 instructor test
That's a great video, could do with more like that 👍
Thanks - and good luck with Part 3 👍🏼
Me too!! My part 3 is not far away now and these videos are very helpful
This video says it's almost all have me an adea of writing every clips down so I won't forget. If possible I would hit 1thousands likes Bravo.
Well done
I passed yesterday! The time felt like it went by so fast and I was back at the test centre! Your videos helped me beyond words so thankyou very much for the content you produce
Excellent - well done!
Congratulations
Advance Driving School Thankyou!

Pom, msm and mspsl. These are routines that all drivers should have as a habit. Since getting my license back in 2012 I've noticed quite a lot of change in teaching new drivers (like being able to go on motoways, couldn't do that when I was learning). I was taught to signal when passing parked vehicles as said signal can tell not just traffic but pedestrians or the occupation(s) of the parked car your intentions, your road position should also communicate your intention too but it's not as clear as an orange flashing light.
For example is the car near the white line getting ready to pass something or does the driver just has poor lane discipline?
8/15 😃 Clip number 7 is the faults I do.
Nice
Past my Test last week (3 minors) - watched your videos to relax and prepare me for my test in North London.Two for clearances (one car parked on the left before a roundabout that I had to turn left into) and not making the proper amount of observations when undertaking my manoeuvre.
Well done 🚙👍🏼😃
Hey guys,
thanks for the amazing videos you produce. I've spotted one repetitive mistake and that's not checking mirrors before making progress. Is this relevant or am I wrong?
There is no 'rule' about that - as long as we are aware of traffic around us at all times then that's fine.
Thanks :)
wish I had an ST for my test!.. I did mine in 1992 in a 1L fiat panda . boohoo. also.. this isnt far from me.. i know these roads. nice :-)
Out of curiosity, in clip five the driver indicates Right, but though you commented on the mirror check, would it no also be a fault as his indicator was still indicating right when he turned left ! could this not of confused someone of his/hers intentions. Also have been watching this videos during my driving lessons, upto and including day of my test, and still watch them 3 years after passing.
You are correct - we didn’t check our mirrors or signal to leave the roundabout. However, when several faults are made at once only the biggest fault will be marked - so we ignored the missing indicator this time. 👍🏼
So on the serious fault 6 where you come up to a roundabout. You can't signal right going into and signal left upon the exit no? You should just go onto the roundabout without signalling until passing the 1st exit and signal upon the exit with the left indicator I'm asking? Thanks in advance.❤
We should only indicate right when actually turning right. If we signal like in example 6 it would mislead others and might cause danger. Like you said, when driving ahead approach the roundabout with no signal, and then indicate to leave. 👍🏼
For the first video I think I might give a minor fault for gears as I don’t think 4th was appropriate for his speed
Had my practical test today i had 6minors but he fail me for Traffic lights goes amber which i passed already the white line so i decided to go through.. not my lucky day!
I feel since the lockdown my driving skills feel a bit rusty, I feel more hesitant than normal, and making silly mistakes, rather than dangerous ones, such as pulling away in the wrong gear, no indicator. Any tips to help me ?
Get as much driving practice as possible!
10.13 no left indication when leaving roundabout?
I wish I watched this video before my exam date😶 last month, I failed reason of undue hesitation 5 times ,it turned serious fault 😔
Sorry to hear that you didn’t pass. This video has a few tips for you: Failing The Driving Test | Learn to drive: 2019 UK Driving Test czcams.com/video/0lWlnWXi7QU/video.html 👍🏼
You’ll get it next time 🥳
Yes and my parents don’t like it. The most common faults I issue my parents are:
Mirrors, change direction - not checking mirrors when manoeuvring parked cars.
Moving off, safety - no blind spot check
Mirrors, change speed - not checking centre mirror before braking or speeding up
Signal, mirror - signal before mirror
Use of speed - breaking speed limit serious fault
Following distance - not 2 second gap serious fault
Lane discipline - cutting lanes on some roundabouts
but how many accidents have they had??
I have my driving test today at 11:11!!🥺
Good luck 🤞🏼
Good luck 🤞and be confident
Good luck
I you pass?
How did you get on?x
vey gooood
They need to update the fault system or replace it to where the examiner can review how well your drive was
In the clip where he got a fault for excessively and unnecessary signalling around parked cars, he also didn’t look in his left door mirror when returning to his normal road position. Would this result in a driving fault or potential serious fault?
Great video by the way, has helped me appreciate more why some of the things I do in my lessons are (constructively) criticised by my instructor, and also in preparation for my test! :)
We don’t consider it necessary to check our left mirror after passing a parked car, as it is almost impossible for anything to come from behind us and block our return to the normal road position.
Advance Driving School ah I see, thanks for the clarification! As a side note; Your channel is amazing and I’ve passed the link to the channel on to many many friends of mine who are learning to drive. Thank you for the work you do!
I would not pass my test nowadays to many bad habits
On clip 9, the car hit the kerb, so this might be a serious fault, I believe.
Thanks for you videos really helpful 👍 but how people get places for drinving test I'm try to get a place it's impossible if someone can help me thanks.
You can search on the DVSA’s website or use a cancellation app. Good luck 👍🏼
What if the examiner directs to “continue” onto a roundabout, after the driver is slowing down out of caution. The diver continues, but the examiner’s direction places the driver’s vehicle in front of a car the Examiner didn’t see, nor the driver? Thoughts.
The examiner will only direct the driver’s direction. It is still the drivers responsibility to check it is safe to cross a give way line. If a driver is hesitant, a driving fault might be given but the examiner will not prompt the driver to continue. He is not there to help make decisions or drive the car. Just to observe and decide if the driving is up to standard.
Clip-12 got me my last test I failed for going 25 on 30 when it clear😢😢😢😢
I like you
I passed my automatic test 2 months ago and want to learn manual. Can I learn to drive in my friend's car the same way as if I had a provisional licence?
Yes, that’s right. In a manual car you are a learner and must be accompanied and use L plates 👍🏼
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool great. Thanks =)
I know this comment is two days old as of posting this reply but please make sure you are a named driver on your friends insurance policy.
Hitting the speed bumps to hard. A broken suspension spring is a serious fail falt on a MOT.
Do examiners and Instructors sometimes make faults too
Of course - no-one drives perfectly 100% of the time.
I had test last weak one series one way road but examiner don’t ask me go right or left plz send any tips plz
Sorry to hear that you didn’t pass. If there were traffic signs telling you where to go, the examiner will expect you to follow them on your own.
Covering two lanes or turning wide at a junction is it instant fail or if you don’t repeat it again and again you can still pass your test?? Plz help
The fault given will depend on the situation - if no-one is nearby you might get away with a minor fault. However, forcing someone else to brake or swerve could cause danger and so would be given a more serious fault.
Thanks
Got my test tomorrow really nervous
Good luck 🤞🏼
Good luck
Good luck
How did your test go?
3:12 letting the clutch up to early
No, the bumps were caused by driving over the manhole cover you can see at 3:06 👍🏼
I had my exam last 10th of August and unsuccessful, the examiner fail me because I didn't checked the blind spot 😔
If it is a 60 country narrow road and you drive 40 is it a fault, I have gotten mixed messages with this.
Never think of the limit as a target - but we should make progress when its safe, to keep the traffic flowing. As long as we always drive at a speed that would allow us to stop in the road we can see to be clear, we should be fine - so drive slower when we can't see very far (or there are hazards present) and faster when we can see much further.
How was clip six a major fault? The exit is past 12pm so should he not have signalled to go right?
The sign shows the second exit as 12 o’clock, which tells us to treat it as straight ahead. We should always follow the signs guidance, even if the actual angle of the road might be different in reality.
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool sorry, i meant clip 5😂😂
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool plus the fault was on a minor for that one as well
@@itzzayo5515 On clip 5 we did indicate right before the camera view went in-car - you can see the green arrow flashing on the car's instruments.
Is there any more of these videos?
No - but there are several mock tests on a separate playlist, so you can see real faults there and see if you agree with our marking of the faults.
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool thank you. Also, my instructors car has a reverse camera that I can look at and use for my parking manoeuvres. Obviously I try to discreetly look at it whilst still checking other observations but if I do get caught looking at it, would it be a minor or major fault?
You are allowed to use the camera a little - as long as you also keep looking around the car as well. 👍🏼
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool thank you that’s helpful👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Just passed!!!!!!!!! 3 minors
Well done!!! 🚙👌🏼
I have watched the first video clip under the heading Moving Off. The information you give about moving off without a blind spot check is incorrect.
It is not always a driving fault, it depends on the circumstances at the time, taking into account the location, width of road, proximity of other road users, etc. The fault demonstrated was a fault, but not worthy of recording.
For example if that was the 16th driver fault how would you debrief the candidate on it and how would you write it up in a report?
Having conducted over 18,000 driving tests on cars, trucks, buses, tractors, taxi and an occasional staff instructor at Cardington, you could say I have insight into fault ID, assessment and analysis. 9:15
Thanks for your comment.
He did look both ways
I drove into a bus lane marked as serious😠
Sorry to hear that, book another test and learn from mistakes 👍
In clip 5 the driver passed a slow, bends ahead sign but didn't reduce his speed, surely that's a fault.
I got most of the faults I just don't agree with the one where you said he was driving to close because to me the gap looked big enough and I don't see that as a fault
The wide angle lens makes everything look further away than they are. The minimum following distance is at least 2 seconds - try timing the gap and you will see it’s too small.
They dont want to cause actual danger lol.
16:17 wdym his car control wasnt affected he literally hit the kerb 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻
There was a raised hump at that junction - we didn’t hit the kerb!
do instructors ever make serious faults sometimes?
They shouldn’t - but I expect it still happens occasionally...
10:07 he didnt put left signal on
That’s correct - we didn’t check the left mirror or signal to leave the roundabout. What fault would you give for that?
@00:10 Driving whilst wearing Sunglasses? #FAIL!💯❎
Any driving examiner here-please
if minor faults aren't dangerous, why do you still fail for getting too many in the same category?
We might get away with repeating the same small fault on a test - but it would eventually result in danger. For that reason any inherent faults would fail a test and should be avoided afterwards.
Because it shows incompetence, something which will most likely lead to danger eventually if you're not taught out of it.
13:28 arent we supposed to indicate on that lane change
No, as there was a right turn nearby and it could mislead someone that we were about to turn right. We would very rarely indicate to go around parked cars for this reason - instead use your car's road position as a signal to others. This video explains: Signalling with our road position: czcams.com/video/FxhXX0EaI5Y/video.html
If in turn you are not second gear irish driving test you will get major fault .
Plesse guide irish examiner 🙏
That’s a strange rule - what if it’s a really gentle turn?
Here are some things i picked up on that aren't the ones mentioned in the video (additional faults i would say?)
Cip 1 - Didn't check central mirror or any mirror when changing gears/speed , and didn't check any mirrors during the drive to assess the road around them once.
Clip 2 - once he entered the new road, didn't check center right mirror
Clip 3 - again no mirror checks at all and imo going round those bends too quickly
Clip 4 -
Clip 5 - NO MIRROR CHECKS WHEN ON NEW ROAD AGAIN!!!
Clip 6 - NO MIRROR CHECKS AGAAAIIINNNN
Clip 7 -
Clip 8 -
Clip 9 - I'm just going to give up on checking this guys mirror checks.. seems like he never does them when slowing down and changing gears etc...
Clip 10 - no signal when pulling out
Clip 11 - Personally wouldn't give a minor here
Clip 12 - Also no mirror check when he slowed down
Clip 13 -
Clip 14 - I'd give a major for that ..
Clip 15 - Also drove on that bricky area on the sides of the roundabout thing, as far as i know, that's a major right there.
(Clips without a comment mean I agree with everything and spotted no other issues, comments are additional to any fault mentioned in the clips already)
How did you do - I know it's not part of the video but turning that harsh corner using one hand on the wheel and other on gear box? :P
Well an examiner at Anniesland in Glasgow just pulled out in front of me causing me to change direction- a fail - so what does this tell you ?
An examiner causing potential danger?
Not very good is it ?
It tells me that they are just as human as anyone else- just wanting to get home like all of us - the dvsa don't practice what they preach- that is clear.
Yes, I feel the observation was not up to the standard required, after 3'4 million miles as an adi , please don't enter the road without , effective observation, "vital", basic rules...sorry guys!!!
Why do examiners wear high vis jackets
To keep them safe when walking across the public car park to our car.
Advance Driving School ok
Why the hell has he got his right signal on here when hes going 2nd exit??
We were turning right at that roundabout - so we should indicate right. Just because it’s the second exit doesn’t mean it’s straight ahead.
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool no that was 2nd exit right indicator should not be on 10:06
Have another look at the roundabout sign. The second exit was to the right - so we need to indicate right when driving that way. Again, the second exit isn’t always treated as straight ahead - use the sign to guide you.
Crazy filming a video like this just 4 you tube views, on driving clip 2 what if they’re actually was someone crossing the road or a cyclist, yes your mans a top driver but without looking still could have been dangerous
We didn't want to cause too much actual danger whilst filming, so we used quiet roads and only made faults that we could get away with. On clip 2 we did have a sneaky look before we entered the road!
Being too bookish about driving rules doesn’t help.
What's the point in having rules unless we stick to them - especially on a driving test!
You should not be doing this on actual roads, these are dangerous and filming it does not make it ok to do.
