Fancy failed her real driving test and wanted a mock driving test to see what help she needs and another opinion about her driving. There will be a follow up video coming soon where I help her with some of the faults from this test.

Yes and there is no way she suddenly improved in all these areas of poor skill within 10 days. Just shows that you can scrape through the test with luck and a sympathetic biased examiner on the day and still be a very poor driver which im confident in saying that she still very likely is. There are thousands on our road just like her who in my opinion should have never been given a licence. She is an accident waiting to happen.

@@m1997 you are exactly right. I failed my mock test in the first few minutes (nervous mistakes that I never would have made in my lessons) and then passed my first real test 2 days later. If I hadn't done a mock, I probably would've failed the real test, because I wouldn't have learned from the mistakes made on the mock. This is EXACTLY what mock tests are for. They are a huge learning opportunity, and a way to get test nerves out of the way. It's wrong to assume Fancy got lucky on the test, 10 days is a long time to make big improvements.

But he was such a stickler for rules he only got me on 3 minors. He ran out of time. It was only after the test my instructor was gobsmacked and informed me I passed with "No pass Jones".

Wow! I loved the drive (BTW, I can't but jaw-droppedly admire the painstaking job of editing those videos, with all the commentary, slow-mo replays, on-screen texts, timestamps, etc., etc.) as always -- but I also loved the debrief, which you decided to include this time as well, Richard. It was obviously not as detailed as the remarks made in the video in postproduction, but it was really impressive how much both of you could remember of the drive. And it was lovely to see Fancy accept all those mistakes in good cheer. She's such a nice and conscientous, good-natured person! It was very clear that she had all the dilligence and the correct attitude there and that all she lacked was good training, proper routines, and some technique. Also, I think she wanted a little bit of extra self-confidence when doing the test, because she seemed quite nervous and even half-expectant of failure. Honestly, I think that her earlier instructor(s) were not the best. I'm so happy she managed to pass her exam soon after that mock test and after the lesson with Richard which came later! Well, it just goes to show what a good teacher can do for a good student!

Really interesting point about the clutch. I passed my test last week and in my instructors car I can lift the clutch find the bite and then add gas no problem (in reality I think I was adding the gas before it was fully lifted anyway)- but in my car (only a little KA) I was stalling a lot and I've now found that it's almost a simultaneous movement with gas and clutch and it's so much better - I'm hardly stalling at all now. It really does need that power.

@CrazyInWeston 7 ай бұрын

The difference of Diesel vs Petrol. Many instructors choose Diesel because its more forgiving when pulling away, they have a more lower RPM torque and can pull a car much easier than a Petrol. Petrol cars really do need a little engine power added before releasing the clutch pedal.

The clutch method is a great point I've had to relearn, even after 15 years of driving. After years of driving diesel vans, 2L BMWs and a 3.5 v6 with lots of power and torque, I became very used to using just clutch for moving off. However, I got a 3 pot Nissan Micra for daily use last year and that is hopeless at pulling away with the clutch and has horrendous turbo lag. Its taken a while but getting the revs to a point where the turbo boost has built has proven very important for pulling away at junctions and roundabouts.

@@mladenenglangcome on mate, you can do it. Practice ad-nauseum all the areas where you have been marked with serious faults in the past, until you get them right. And make sure you're reasonably familiar with the area where the test is taking place. Always check your mirrors before signalling, it's crucial (M-S-M). Try to imagine the examiner as a passenger that you just picked up and taking him to a place he needs to get to. And make some small talk on the way. If that helps, play some music or radio in low volume during the test. Know that it's just a matter of time before you pass, and don't worry too much about that bit. Just go there with the intention to do a good decent and safe drive. Good luck! :)

I took my test in 2001, it's interesting to see how it's changed! (I had to do two out of the three possible reversing manoeuvres - parallel park and a 3-point turn - an emergency stop and a hill start, as well as the usual driving around. Angle start? New to me!! I had to take my trailer test four times - I was in the Army at the time, we had to have the trailer addition on the licence - and I got a serious on the reversing manoeuvre for that on my third attempt at the test. (Didn't even need to complete the driving portion I knew I'd messed it up so badly.) When the manager of the driving section (can't remember his actual title but he was the guy in charge of all the driver training at my base) asked who I wanted to be examined by on my fourth attempt, I asked for the guy who'd failed me twice, because I could do it, knew I could do it and now needed to prove it to him. Passed it on the fourth attempt, and haven't towed a trailer since! We called him 'The Mirrorman' because he absolutely would mark you down if you didn't check your mirrors every single time you changed direction. Safety, folks!!

Driving is so hard when you are learning and even when you had passed. Just because you have passed it doesn't mean you can do what you like on the road. Mirrors are so important to check! I failed my first test on a round about as someone flashed me to go and I just pulled out... There was another car coming around in the inside lane. But I did get another test and came out with a pass and NO miners! (At the beginning on the year) But even now I don't trust other people on the road. If you think it's not okay to go then its probably not a good idea. The driving instructors and the testers (well mine) honestly don't care. As long as you're not hesitating, they're more than happy to wait until you are happy to go. And questions on where to go. I was always asking where to go on my test. Oh and tip :) on most roads there and lines or indents where other cars have been over the years just follow them. That's how I know my road position was good. Good luck if you got your test soon and don't panic! If someone flashes you to go ALWAYS double check if it is safe to do so then to go.

I've been doing mock tests now for 6+ months of weekly lessons and I'm just banging my head against the wall its really damaging to what little confidence I have, I know I can drive adequately and safely, I might even say better than a lot of people on the road who've passed their test but I just can't get a break, I blame the fact I have an anxiety disorder and knowing I'm being tested makes it awful.

I know it sounds obvious, but you need to keep out of your head. Just treat it like any other lesson, instead of a test. You put loads of pressure on yourself because of the high stakes of having to book again and the additional cost and it's just asking for trouble. Or, tell yourself you already failed for something stupid right at the start, then it won't matter either way as you still have to take the test, unless you crashed or something, and then when you pass it will be a surprise. I failed my first test because of nerves despite it being my best driving at the time then passed the second time with some of the worst driving I've ever done, to the point that I actually asked the examiner if he was sure he wanted to pass me. If your instructor isn't willing to let you take the test in his car, you can use a different one, you just need all the insurance stuff in place. As for your anxiety disorder, there are all kinds of medications your doctor can prescribe for you if it's severely impacting your life.

Not sure if you've passed your test yet or not but if anxiety is what is making you make mistakes etc i would recommend going to a doctor to see if they can give you something for the test. I know people who failed simply because of anxiety and were given meds to help and they passed.

Hey man, lovely video may i ask does stalling a car damage the cars engine?

@rufusgreenleaf2466 7 ай бұрын

I'd say not really because the computer cuts the engine off, hence the stall. I suppose if you do it hundreds of times a day it might have some effect, eventually.

@ConquerDriving 7 ай бұрын

Unlikely, but depending on how you stall you could put the clutch, engine mounts and transmission under strain.

Thanks for making these videos! I passed my test a while ago here in the US, and would likely fail there in the UK. The city is very confusing for me, even here. Need to work on that. When I did my full driving test, I noticed something. You, and my tester both said "End of the road, left". Or "Next street, right". And at least to me I didn't understand what that meant so I just kept going. Didn't ask to turn left. Just said the word "left". Is that normal?

@lockdot2 4 ай бұрын

I find it interesting, here it's fine to turn the signal on before checking the mirrors/blind spots. But there it isn't. I never look before signaling.

@lockdot2 4 ай бұрын

Here in the US, when you turn left, we have green lights, or arrows. Green arrow means you do not need to worry about on-coming cars, you can just turn. (Unless someone is running a red light). But the green light means you need to wait for on-coming cars before turning left. As the on-coming cars go first. It's kind of a bad set up, as they end up getting a large line of cars waiting through several lights to turn left, due to a lot of on-coming cars. Either way, once every few months I forget, and just follow the cars turning in front of me, then slam on the brakes when I see a on-coming car approaching fast. Not very safe. Need to work on that, like making more steps to hopefully notice the light is Not an arrow.

@adelebrown1861 Ай бұрын

Yes so end of road left means go left at the end of the road etc, it is an instruction. Also in the uk you are taught "mirrors, signal, manoeuvre" which is the order you must do this in before changing position as a matter of safety.

@rufusgreenleaf2466 7 ай бұрын

@@Hunter-NG Moving the clutch to the bite makes the car want to set off. Having the handbrake engaged stops the car from moving and thus puts wear on the clutch. After i got used to the clutch biting point i was taught to set the gas then release the handbrake as soon as i started to lift the clutch up. I do see pupils set the bite first then do their observations and it's just holding the bite for too long. It shouldn't be until you want to set off.

@mydogeatspuke 7 ай бұрын

@@rufusgreenleaf2466moving the clutch to the bite doesn't make the car want to move, it prepares it to move if you continue to engage the gear and give it gas if needed. Having the handbrake on only wears the clutch more if you can't accurately find the biting point lol. You can ride the clutch in stop/start traffic without moving and without using the handbrake, which arguably causes more wear. What you talk about being taught once you could find the bite is still a handbrake start lol, because you're using the handbrake to hold the car while you find the bite, instead of taking the handbrake off and then finding the bite with the footbrake instead, which btw is an absurd way to move off even if you're a confident driver unless it's a very flat road.
