I came here to say thank you. I passed my second test this morning. Your videos were really helpful.

To pass this mock test with just nine driving faults is very good. I hope he passes the real test. Well done, Chris.

Hi, thank you so much for your videos.
I watched all the mocked tests on your channel, and it made me more aware and prepared for my test.
I passed yesterday on my first attempt with 3 minors.

Thank you

[daviemac]

That was really good, couple of minor blips but those are easy sorted. Good Luck for your big Test Chris.

Amazing Chris all the best with the real test

Further to my previous comment, another instructor on YouTube did a mock test with a pupil who had been driving in the US. He made 13 serious mistakes which makes Chris's result look even better.

[alokagrawal]

Wow
I will also try this before my final tests

[keithdenyer]

Notice how smooth his driving was, being experienced, even though a few mistakes were made.

[jenniewithie]

I failed today coz examiner said I drove to slow, 15-16 at a 20mph limit road is unacceptable he said😢

[mikejennings]

Plenty of good advice here for young, fully qualified but over-confident drivers to heed to avoid featuring on future "bad driving" episodes on some other YT driving channels I could mention! We all have our moments, but some are just reckless risk-takers once they have passed.

I noticed Tobi got a serious fault for being in the wrong lane at minute 6:30 (which is a fail) even though no one had entered the roundabout nor was affected by his actions, whereas Chris did this twice, even causing other cars to have to stop in the roundabout, narrowly avoiding a collision, and passed (minutes 7:30 and 9). I'm so confused!

[ericgraham]

I’ve noticed that feeding the steering wheel seems not to be required anymore. The reason I believe holding the wheel at ten to two and feeding the wheel is important is that at at least one point on the mock test, both of Christ’s hands were to the left of the 12 o’clock position. If a sudden adjustment of steering lock was needed, for instance due to a dog or child running into road from the right, then Chris would be compromised on gaining further left lock as both his hands were already at the 9 and ten o’clock positions.
I thought Chris gave a very good drive and I felt comfortable all during the test. Well done, Chris.

At 13:07 minutes of the video he took the second exit on a mini roundabout, u gave him driving fault for not signalling but my instructor said for mini roundabout to go straight ahead I don’t need to give left signal after passing the first exit . Could u pl reply my question? Thank you

[HalukTarcanht]

What's the reason the driver at 8:07 is making a gesture? I couldn't figure it out.

[rezaafrasiyabi]

At 28:38 The roundabout exit wasn’t free, could i wait at the entrance line until it’s free and then drive? Or you recommend doing the same as this gentlemen?
Thanks

[kanet]

Why was it not a driving fault at 10.24 when asked to pull up behind the white car on the left? He indicated too early, as there was a t junction road before the white car. Could confuse cars emerging and cars behind you.

[JasonHe-js]

The first exit of the roundabout is directly in front of me, at 12 o 'clock positive, How should I signal? Is it the signal left when I enter the circle?

[mahina]

Thanks for learning, in a junction, if the light is green and our speed is 20 to 25, should we wait a little and then pass? And also reduce the speed?

[ekrem]

@dvlagov I had driven for 10 years in my own country without any accident. However, I have failed 3 times in the UK.🤦

[moodyyxo]

Why did he get a fault for being in the wrong lane at the roundabout when u could be in either to exit??
