Man, all these reminders are going to dramatically make my driving much safer! Best thing is that I can come back to it and bam..watch it again and again! Thank you so much for creating these very helpful videos and going the extra mile to actually film the driving itself. I was slightly confused (Overseas drivers aren't always familiar with the terms, so the visual factor really helps out) but once I saw you actually perform it, I had complete clarity! Awesome, awesome, awesome.

Hi Gloria thank you for your question. Just so you know there is no "Hill start Manoeuvre" in the NSW P1 driving test. However if you are on a hill in traffic just come off the brake and quickly onto the accelerator. Simple as that. The auto shouldn't roll back significantly. Roll back is usually only a problem with the manual. Hope that helps.

In a manual, my driver taught me to listen out for, or feel for, the tension point as you lift off the clutch. Practice finding that specific point where you can feel the clutch kinda do a little grind as you lift off, and that's the point where you swap from brake to accelerator

04:04 I agree with you! I watched some other videos where this method was recommended... it increases the potential for a new driver to stuff up the manoeuvre. At this stage it's about passing the test, not a theoretical and minuscule amount of tyre wear. In real life, three-point turns are reasonably rare, and by the time one is needed, hopefully the driver's steering confidence and competence will have increased, anyway.

@thedrivingtestguynsw84243 жыл бұрын
Hi Sara if you cannot do your 3pt in 3 moves then the "fix solution" is to perform a 5 point turn. Recheck (360) around car again, look out the back and reverse again. Then back in Drive (or 1st in manual) check 360 around again and then go. The examiner wont mark you down if there was some obstruction or a narrow road that caused you to do a 5 point turn. There never will a be a case to do a 7 point turn on the test. If you can easily do the 3pt in 3 moves and you take 5 because of poor steering then you may get a mark down but certainly no fail.

Are examiners particular about steering techniques? Hand-over-hand works well at low speeds when you need to turn the steering wheel fast, but I don't find it or push-pull to be best when performing a 90 degree turn at or more than about 25 km/h. I use a simple but advanced steering technique in those situations, giving me predictable and consistent control, without crossing my arms or overworking my hands, and both hands are kept on the steering wheel the whole time. I got the technique from a YT video years ago and combined it with what I learnt on a race track doing advanced driver training. I recently taught my wife this technique, and she performs it well for her level, but I'm concerned the examiner will disapprove of it in the test. She uses fixed-hand, some push-pull, and hand-over-hand techniques when appropriate (conditions, speed, and degree to which the steering wheel needs to be turned), but this other technique is employed specifically for 90 degree turns at or over about 25 km/h. Would love to hear your perspective.
@thedrivingtestguynsw84243 жыл бұрын
Hi Jimmy your technique would be ok for your wife. The mains things they dont like holding the steering wheel with one hand (when going forward), getting the hands too tangled, one handed palming (like driving a forklift), hands inside the steering wheel, placing your hands too close together (prefer 10 to 2 or quarter to 3). Thanks for your question :)

Hi Kate you don't need to signal when reversing. Just checks.

my instructor was telling not do dry steering.I guest your tip was better than his tip! haha I find it easier when doing dry steering before moving. do they mark you down if you do dry steering?

Hi Nielson yes some instructors are sensitive about it. I don't mind doing it now and then in particular situations to make things easier during manouevres. You don't get marked down.

Thanks. What to do if there is a vehicle coming toward you while you are blocking the road. Pull back and give them space to pass or continue the turn if they stop and wait for you to do your turn?

Hi Nirman if you are in the middle of the 3pt and there is room for them to pass have a look and see what there intention is. If they are happy to wait then complete the 3pt. If they are coming in fast and going to pass behind you then wait till they do. If there isn't room for them to pass then complete the 3pt.

Hello Jimbo, Little question here. When I am turning the vehicle I must not cross my arms, is that true ? TKS mate wonderful videos, help me a lot

Hi André yes you can do hand over hand steering which involves crossing over your hands.

Hi Jimbo, i tend to change the gears first then steer the wheel, does the order of what we do matter in the test?
@thedrivingtestguynsw84249 ай бұрын
Yes most students have the urge to change the gears first. So what happens is they do the gear then they do the check , then they go to move and then realise "oh I haven't done the steer yet". Then they have to do the steer and time is elapsing. You will then need to recheck again which often doesn't get done and then it all becomes messy. That's why I see so much better success if you steer first. However if you gear and then actually remember to steer in that order then that will be ok on the test.

Hello Jimbo, Just wondering. While turning your steering, are your hands allowed to interlock ? I think your hands are interlocking but a friend told me they are not meant to interlock on no circumstance. Kindly explain please. Thank you for your help.

Yes you can "interlock".

Hey Jimbo, I get that the 5 second signal is a test requirement, what I don't get is why it's a requirement. In NSW does the manoeuvring vehicle have priority to continue because it's signalling? Or does the traffic flow along the road have priority even if there's a vehicle signalling their intention to manoeuvre? If it's the flow that has priority (as in the UK) and you're going to wait for it to pass anyway, what's the point in signalling?
@thedrivingtestguynsw84242 жыл бұрын
Hi Udidit the car that is pulling out always has to give way regardless of how long it's signaled. The idea of the 5 second rules is to make sure the student signals sufficiently. The signal gives the approaching traffic flow the chance to treat the car signalling as a potential hazard and can start preparing should it pull out without looking properly.
