Someone needs to comment on how good his screen presence is. He is confident and comfortable when speaking and doesent stutter, get caught in ummm and uhhh’s he speaks fast, clear, and pronounces words so clearly that people who dont speak british can understand

[kayaperkins]

I passed today! These videos have been so helpful & to anyone stressing about their test, it was literally just like a normal lesson so don't be nervous.

[skykyro]

[annagaszkowska]

Thank you for all these videos, I dont think you realise how much we need them! You put me at such easy, your voice is so calming haha! I have my test in 3 days in an automatic... I am panicking so much (I'm an over achiever😅) but watching your videos is so helpful, so thank you!

[riabedson]

I've already failed twice, but find your videos very helpful so thank you!

[edwardtye]

This is very helpful, thank you very much. I'm rather enjoying this new kind of video.

[kstarrealist.]

Just want to say a big thank you for your videos, I think I learn more from you than my instructor. I managed to pass today. Anyone going for their test just be calm and be yourself. The test went really quick aswel.

The way I think about steering methods is like this. You see a car drive down the road and they make a perfectly smooth and safe turn. Would you care if their hands were at 10 and 2 and used the pull push technique? I don't think so! The point is they made a safe turn! The same applies if you are a passenger.

Just watching videos and applying them on real driving with 0 hours instructor training today I've passed my test in 1st attempt. 😊

Thanks for your valuable videos.

[Nevemae]

Thank you for this! I have my test next week and watching your videos gives me some much needed reassurance :)

[PremiumAutoShine]

Honestly mate your videos are tremendous. My driving test is tomorrow, i binned my instructor a month ago cause after 40 hours cause he just had no personal interest in his students. He was having to ask me if we had covered all manoeuvres? After 40 hours? Anyway, got my own car, went out with my dad who used to teach years ago and has doubled my driving ability in a month. All going to come down to the day.

[danjohnson]

As a new PDI I'm watching your video's and still learning thing's ...keep up the great work mate.

[kariuksnjoro]

I failed my first driving test, then found this channel and watched so many videos before passing on my second attempt. Thanks a lot man.

PASSED MY TEST TODAY AND YOIR VIDEOS HELPED THANK YOU

I did hear excaggerated mirror checks could lead to a fail because the examiner might assume you've not set the mirrors up properly, so are trying to compensate for the loss of view.

[nyaropelizabeth]

I swear your explanation on the exaggerating the mirror check part made me laugh 😂 😅 I had to rewind it to laugh off my driving anxiety. Thanks for being a good teacher 😅

[fongfongchong]

Thank you so much for your videos. I passed my test two days ago. I learned a lot from your videos . Thank you.

[Pengting]

Thanks so very much Richard as it’s so stressful at times 😭😭

[savannahb]

I passed yesterday, and your videos helped me so much! I watched this one the morning of my test and it gave me so much reassurance, thank you!!
