I passed with two minors. Just remember examiners are human, make them feel safe and comfortable. Apart from following the rules of the road make sure you also slow down over humps, brake smoothly, slow down before you turn. Remember you can’t fail for checking the mirrors too much, so check them. Another thing that helped me is positive self talk as I was on my way to my test, tell yourself you are a driver, you drive safe, you know exactly what you’re doing. Good luck to anyone with an upcoming test, you will pass if u set ur mind to it

[Isafell]

I passed my test yesterday, it is certainly the best feeling ever! Anyone who has an upcoming test, best of luck and don’t sweat it- you’ll get there 🤗

I am finally in the ‘I passed but am still watching’ crew. The best advice I can give is to remember that the examiner is a person, and they’re at work! They’ve seen people all day every day and in the least rude way possible, you’re not special! It’s not a test, it’s a check to see if you’re safe to be out on your own. If you’re not safe, you don’t want to pass! You don’t wanna be out there on your own if you’re gonna hurt yourself or someone else. Stay as calm as you can, as soon as you meet the examiner you’ll start to feel better. Deep breaths, you’ll get there!! Try not to think about all the reasons you want to pass and instead think about where you’re gonna drive. Think ‘dot to dot’ one thing at a time!! Good luck!

I watched this the night before my test and passed today on a first attempt, learnt soo much from here and it's been really helpful. Wasn't as bad as I thought it was, I blinked and the 40 minutes were up :))

[joeduffy]

I passed last Monday. Thank you for all the content you provide. Hoping to get myself a wee Seat Ibiza very soon. First time pass at nearly 52 so it's never too late for anyone.

[IAmProRyan]

Passed on Friday with 0 minors!! Watched this video countless times in the build up and it helped so much, thank you for making this video!!

[adamsinclair]

Guys it took 4 attempts but I passed with one If you're thinking of quitting after failing a couple of times, don't!!! You can do it! I did!

[asadzia-qqqc]

Recently passed my test in Chingford London in the first go. We haven't met in person but I have seen your videos so much that I feel like you are an old friend of mine. I owe you big thanks as I learned almost everything from you. You are very sincere with your profession and I admire you for everything you are doing. I cannot find the proper words to thank you but just know that there are people out there whose lives you are changing. ❤

[josephtree]

I passed this morning with 3 minors.

Haven’t had an instructor the last couple months due to the back log but watching these videos really got me there !

Wanna say thanks Rich for being very insightful.

My best advice to anyone taking their test soon - try to get in the mindset that you’re having a driving lesson with a new instructor, just keep calm and focus - they really aren’t bad they want you to drive the best you can ! Be confident :)

[samanthablair]

My test is looming and this was so helpful.... And surprisingly calming. X

[lewiskiltie]

Passed my test today!! Got 3 minors (one of which was stalling right outside the test centre right at the end of my test lol). Only had two lessons before christmas and used those dual control cars twice from Arnold Clark with my cousin and father. These videos were a massive help and I'd safely say they contributed to me passing. Good luck to everyone that has a test coming up!! Stay calm, the examiner wants you to pass.

[vaticancameo]

I haven’t been able to take formal driving lessons because of limited availability so have been practicing with my family and watching this channel for tips. Just had my driving test today and PASSED with zero minors!! Just wanted to say thank you for the tips throughout this channel, really helped me understand what they are looking for in the test and how to drive confidently!

[jonathanlloyd]

Got my test on the 5th. Posting this as a manifestation that I will pass. I will come back with the results on the 5th.

[Tiatabs]

I watched this the night before my driving test and passed yesterday on my first attempt! This channel really helped me to achieve that, thank you!! ❤️

[TamTam-rowd]

I passed my driving today with 3 minors. I have a little baby so it was very stressful preparing for the test, thank you so much for your videos! I learnt more from you than my instructor. Best of luck everyone! Stay calm and use logic - you’ll pass.

[MattC]

Hi, I passed first time with 2 minors earlier this week!!! Your videos were so important in helping me gain my confidence and consolidating my skills. I would try and watch one video an evening in the weeks leading up to my test. So many thanks for all your hard work, this is making a huge difference to people's

[HonorWhiteman-suvr]

I passed my driving test this morning! I'm 39 years old and have tried learning to drive on and off since I was around 20. I have issues with coordination so decided to try learning in an automatic. My instructor was brilliant, but I also just want to say how useful I've found your videos. They've really helped with my confidence, and I'm going to continue watching then as I adapt to my own car. Keep on doing what you're doing! Thanks again.

[lakiza]

Just passed my driving test this morning. I can't explain how much your videos helped me and how much i appreciate the effort you put into them, even though i'm not from the UK. You sir, are an absolute godsend.
