Thank you so much guys. I passed yesterday, and this was actually the last video I watched before I left the house. I was totally calm but like a halk. 🤚✨
Well done! Good luck on the road :-)
Advance Driving School Thank you so much. ❤️
That music got me hyped at the start
Can I just say - I PASSED my test!! Woohoo! Just want to say one big MASSIVE THANK YOU to your videos. Gosh they are SO Clear, thought through and so simple and Clear for learners to understand and by far the most helpful videos I watched to get better clarity on what my instructor would teach me. Can't thank you enough- please carry on your videos as I will be continuing watching them as I embark on my journey as a driver. Love u all - thanks again!!
Excellent! Very well done for passing! Thank you for your kind words, and good luck on the road. :-)
Is no one going to mention they’re teaching in a 200BHP Fiesta ST?? Described as a “responsive 1.5L Fiesta” on their website 😂
Love your videos though, got me through my driving test with 2 minors and I’m happily driving now 7 months later. 👍
Very good video. Observation is critical to safe progress. As well as mirror discipline I liked the comment about looking well ahead to spot potential hazards. Information = TUG - Take observe - Use to plan - Give signals to inform others .
Thank you so much for making this video, I really needed it. I already feel much more prepared for my lessons and can go over each mirror check in my head as a routine now! :)
Thank you ...I really like the quick Q&A at the end...more because I got everything right...now need to practice that...thanks again..
Very well explained. Many thanks!
Passed my test today. Perfect drive. No faults. Had 20 lessons and a lot of motorcycle riding before. Chatted away about touring on the bike during the test. Time flew by. Your video's helped a lot
Glad to hear that your test went so well 🚙👍🏼
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool Thanks. I'm going to carry on watching as now it's time to really start learning
Hi I just want to say thank you guys for the quality of the videos. I have passed my driving test on 10/07/2019 . I'll continue watching to learn more
Well done - and good luck on the road! 🚙👍🏼
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool I'm blind in my right eye,so how must I use the mirrors and get the driving license
@@hussanshahid2789 Mirrors still work with one eye - don't let that put you off! Good luck :-)
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool thanks
Hi team, I am a learner driver in NZ and find your videos fantastic for learning good habits and techniques. the videos are of high quality and its great that different angles, including the POV from the driver and from above is the best learning tool. I really like the fact you have opted for a narrator explaining in a calm manner instead of the person driving trying to narrate as they go. Obviously the road rules, road signs and tests are different between the UK and NZ but I am learning heaps about technique and car control. Keep up the excellent work.
Thanks for your comment, and good luck on your lessons!
Wow thank u guys for the videos we need more people like u in this bloody world
I really like how this video is made. The center mirror view is really helpful to help us see. It feels as if I am driving and seeing the road condition. I really like the calm voice prompt as well. The red and green indicator on the screen for the mirror check is excellent. Thank you very much for this video for the MSM routine. It really helps my learning.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very good video this is should be in my head when I'm learning
this video is super. thanks how you are teaching the signals when needed.
Tanks for ur teaching i passed last September, am grateful i used alot of ur videos, n it makes me spend less

Very educative , thank you for this video.
Really good! Perfect representation of the usage of the different mirrors. Would be good to have something similar for using the clutch.
Thanks! We have already made a few other videos about using the clutch:

Great video, your editing and various camera angles really add to the experience (that goes for all your videos)! A small question - I see that you have 2 inside rearview mirrors, what's the 2nd one for?
Cheers
It's for the passenger. This is useful for driving lessons, and compulsory on a driving test. Some instructors even use a third mirror to help them monitor where the driver is looking.
Very useful tips, thanks a lot.
Fantastic videos thank you. Just wondering what your thoughts are on a quick shoulder check when on the move as I’m unsure about this. Obviously from stationary you always do but Should you do it when overtaking, merging or moving to your exit on a roundabout? Thank you
Great video thank you.
I have my ADI part 2 on Friday all your videos are very helpful so thanks!
Good luck!!

Very nice video help us when I laron the car
Very helpful and wonderful video , thank you guys for educating all the beginners like me 😘🚘
Happy to help!
Advance Driving School can you please the door car length distance. I am so confused
@@turhab I'm sorry we don't understand your question - could you try again?
God bless you 😊
thank you
I will get my provisional license queensland this helps
That was helpful
Really nice video. Answered most of my questions about driving. Sadly, it's not really easy passing the test here in my country. Most of times, our instructors will be away from the car... and we must exaggerate the mirror-checking movement, or might just fail the test from that...
Thank you that was very good!
yes, indeed this is a good video. like it
Very nice video
Watch your videos and helped me in driving school and I passed my driving test and today I got my license
Excellent - well done! 🚙👌🏼😃
That was enjoyable
Helpful
Hi
I know you already made video on hazards perceptions but please can you make new hazards perception video please?
Thank you
Helo guys thank for teaching us how to drive but i would like to ask whats the use of the second gear transition in some Automatic cars
Selecting lower gears manually in an automatic car is sometimes useful when extra engine braking is needed, such as when driving down a steep hill.
Interesting
Hi, could you please do a video on dual carriageway. I have my test soon
We have already made two videos about dual carriageways (check in the Intermediate Skills playlist) and one about Motorways (in Expert skills) 👍🏼
good how to properly adjust the mirrors
Nice video
Hi, thanks for the very informative / detailed videos .
IF the car in front suddenly stopped without any warning etc. should we quickly press the " Emergency " triangular button ( all yellow indicators are on and flashing at the same time ) and simultaneously pressed the foot brake... in order to warn the car behind to stop quickly as well , please ? Thank you guys .
That depends on how munch time we have. In a real emergency we would focus on stopping the car first, and then turn on the hazard lights afterwards. The time it takes to reach for the hazard lights will delay our braking and make our stop even more sudden. However if we have more time / space to stop our car then we might be able to use our hazards lights before we stop.
Nice
Nice video I am taking my test in 30 days
boo hoo
Good luck for your driving test
boo hoo Me to. Good luck for us
Hi I loved your videos
Can u make a video on steering wheel
When and how much turn when u tiring right or left please I am a new learner and I am so confused on that
We have two videos about steering - have a look in our channel 👍🏼
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool Thanks so much
Hi so would you not need to check any mirrors other than centre if you were going straight ahead at a one lane roundabout. I’m just having a hard time understanding why we check mirrors before entering a roundabout. Do we check them because of where we will be positioning before entering the roundabout. So if you’re going straight on but positioning your the left of the round about you would check your centre and left.
Thank you your videos are amazing
The purpose of checking mirrors is to see if there another vehicle close behind ours - so we can make sure we give them enough space to avoid a collision. Depending on where you are going, just consider which mirror checks will help you to stay safe in that situation. 👍🏼
Excellent video!!!
I will be in England in April for 10 days and I will drive with a foreign driving license from Gatwick airport to London. After that I would like to pass a quick driving test. Can you tell how to do it and where??
Best regards!! 👍 🙏
If you want to take a British driving test you must be a resident in GB. However, if you have moved to GB having recently been abroad, you must be a resident in GB for 185 days in the 12 months before your application for a driving test and full licence.
Useful video, thanks. What about blind spots, what window would you look through? When you say a shoulder check, where specifically are you looking? On a standard car is it through the rear passenger window? Just wanted to make sure. Thanks a lot.
If pulling away from the side of the road, we would do a full blind spot check with all the windows and mirrors (as shown in this video: czcams.com/video/8MYUabKcjac/video.html ) but if we are just changing lanes we would do a ‘shoulder check’ on only the needed side (as shown in this video: czcams.com/video/eRTAxottBkY/video.html ) 👍🏼
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool Thanks for your reply, keep up the good work with the videos! (especially enjoy automatic driving videos, thanks for those)
Hi, if I've stopped and applied the handbrake at a give way, junction, roundabout or traffic lights should I check over my shoulder blind spots as well as side mirrors just before releasing the handbrake? I would always do this following a manoeuvre or from a kerbside position. These videos are fantastic so thanks loads.
There is no requirement to check your blind spots when stopped in those situations, but if you think it necessary then you can if you like 👍🏼
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool thank you for the quick response. My daughter is learning to drive and especially in roundabout give way markings this can often make her miss an opportunity to to pull off. Thanks and keep up the great videos!
Hi how do you work on observations pertaining to checking your mirrors? If you seem to struggle with this? I am nearing test ready but I just can't seem to get my mirrors down. Thanks x
Don’t do it because your instructor tells you to, or because the examiner will want you to - check your mirrors because it will prevent an accident one day!
very peaceful ride and peaceful to watch and listen . but it's not same here in Sri Lanka.
i passed the driving test 2 weeks ago. now i practice driving alone. but my speed is usually 24-34MPH. many drivers keep hooning me and some make expressions by hand something like What the hell/ Go away. This always make me nervous . i was so confident before the test. but now each day after the practice till i arrived home and see my mother waiting for me i'm shake .
Unfortunately there will always be a few impatient and aggressive drivers around - try and ignore them if you can. However, do your best to keep up with the flow of traffic, as this will prevent other drivers getting frustrated. Good luck 👍🏼
Great job.but is there any timing for check when you drive in high way
We have made a few other videos showing how to join, travel on and even leave a dual-carriageway or motorway 👍🏼
Could you make a video on how far you should be to skip or stop at a yellow light
Our next video will show this!
Hi when have to check mirror. For example for left turn and in roundabout 1st exit 2nd exit and 3rd exit. Can you tell me please
As the video shows, just check your mirrors before you indicate, or change your speed or position. 👍🏼
PS love the video
Hi. I hope you can help. For a pedestrian crossing is it just interior mirror or is it interior right mirror? Also, for an advanced drive, such as The Cardington, which mirrors would you check before a pedestrian crossing - all 3? Many thanks.
We should check whichever mirrors might show any danger behind us. Since we might need to slow down or stop we would focus mainly on the centre mirror (to see who is behind us) but if we feel it necessary check the side mirrors as well. We don't have any experience with advanced driving, so cannot help with that unfortunately.
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool Thank you very much ... much appreciated
👍👍👍
Thanks very much to remind me about this as this video is so importantL Anderson
do you do mock tests around ipswich area?
Sorry, we only offer tuition in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.
When you’ve stopped at traffic lights and planning on going straight, what mirrors do you check? Is it the centre mirror and both left/right mirrors to check for cyclist? Or, is the centre mirror enough.
If there is time we would probably check all the mirrors in that situation.
awesome
is @7:34 a major fault or was it just right to proceed with an amber light?
The traffic light turned amber less than a second before we crossed the stop line. It was too late to stop, so the safest thing to do is continue driving. This video might help: Traffic Lights: czcams.com/video/2yfSfxACZWU/video.html 👍🏼
