You'd be a really good teacher for people with autism or other neurodivergent conditions. The way you describe things and speak is very easy on the ears and brain.

passed over 3 months ago yet still love watching these, i bet "jason" finds no joy in anything he does in life 🤣

[satho]

Passed today after binge watching all your videos! It reminded me of my Physics professor who broke everything down simply when explaining things ahaha

[michaelb]

Freya deserves a lot of credit for allowing herself to be filmed during such a nerve wracking experience! She is clearing going to be a very good and safe driver when she passes her test

Finally passed last week with 0 minors after 12 years of on and off learning! I wanted to give a little something to say thank you!

As many people on this channel will agree, your videos were invaluable at supporting my learning- it’s clear how passionate you are and how much effort goes into your content and making it as accessible as possible to different levels of experience

By using your tips I was even able to impress my instructor at times (I recommend people to check out your roundabout/mini roundabout lessons in particular)

Weirdly, on my first test attempt in the morning, I was 5 mins from returning to the test centre when the dashboard warning lights lit up like a Christmas tree! Of all the things to prepare for, a fault with the car wasn’t one I had considered! Even the examiner was stumped. The test had to be terminated (I was on track for a strong pass) but luckily the car was repaired and I was able to do a second test in the afternoon! 😅 not sure if anyone has had this before?

Anyway, good luck to anyone on this channel still on their learner journey, thanks again! 🎉

[jonathanbrockway]

Haha I always role-play the most miserable/grumpy examiner on my mock tests also😂
Kudos for starting with a manoeuvre as well; I like to do that to chuck then straight in at the deep end to see if they can perform under pressure right from the start👍

9:49 how is she in the wrong lane at the roundabout when the dotted lane she stayed in went all the way round to the exit without going off into another exit? Also all the large arrows pointed forward (none indicated a right turn) and the sign for the roundabout showed equally thick lines for each exit. Thanks

Edit: I see how the 12 o’clock rule might explain this but surely each roundabout’s signs can be used to correctly use it

[Brauschemann]

It’s nice the way in which you give other driving instructors a nod, in a way not to distract Freya.

[lecocodu]

Jason is back! 🔥

@Freya I hope you pass the actual test soon, best of luck!

Conquer Driving, Subscribed because your videos are so much fun!

passed in Colchester and seeing some of the routes I did in my lessons and actual test makes me see in hindsight how easy some of the things I really thought were hard, just goes for anyone learning now if you think driving is hard/frustrating it get's a lot better the more you drive and the more you learn

[Zirc]

I’m binge watching your videos. I have my test in 3 weeks. As well as I rewatch the ones I’m not confident at. Thank you for all these wonderful videos

[NOSHEDMANTIS]

I passed my driving test on Monday (20th May), big thank you Richard for your amazing videos - they were a crucial resource for me, particularly the videos about managing driving anxiety :D <3

[danem]

The fact that windy, hilly, narrow country roads have a 60MPH limit, and it's considered safe, is wild. Most highways here in the US are 55. 50 on backroads is pushing it in most places

[FudFst]

She doesn't look that short! She was really stretching for those pedals. Reminds me of short (mostly women) riders of motorcycles. It's hard for me as a tall person to understand just how much more skill it takes.

[samteo]

Watching from Malaysia, have been driving for 2 years. Started watching your videos before I got my license and still love watching them because they're just so enjoyable! The rules here are similar to the UK's so your videos have been a great help. Keep up the good work! 👍

[tomwoolnough]

Thank you for these videos. These were so critical for me passing last week. I hope Fraya passed her actual test.

[daviemac]

You did really well Freya, mock tests usually go wrong that's why you do them to help build your confidence. You even managed fine with old misery, that's a bit scary isn't it after nice Richard? Good Luck with your driving, you'll boss that test when the time comes.

[nathanhood]

14:43 what kind of monstrosity is this roundabout-ception 😭

[smyd]

She's pretty good and confident. Just a bit more practice and she'll be fine.
