'There's no pressure to go'

And that folks is the number one lesson to remember when waiting at a junction.

Shout out to all the people who not just have to remember all those rules and signs and correct behavior on the roads, but also all the potholes and faded paint road markings ✌️

This was exactly why I failed my test last week. The said it was use of mirrors. Also had 3 minors for bad junction observations. If only I had seen a video like this. Thanks a lot for this video as I will adopt it during my test reseat.

[Onneyas]

I passed my test on Tuesday with just one minor. Thank you for making things easier for us

[vigneshwaranm]

I saw your couple of videos and those were helpful to pass my exam today in the first attempt. Keep up your good work 👍🏻

I was at Tesco with my Son this afternoon, he's a Driving instructor. It was hilarious watching all the people "abandoning" their cars, then a Learner comes in and gets it spot on first go. I couldn't do a mock test in London I'd have a heart attack! I can just about cope with Edinburgh.

I LOVE driving, and I'm a member of both IAM and RoSPA, and completetly agree with Chris about the importance of checking DURING your maneouver as well as before it. Even at 20mph, cars cover a lot of distance in a second, so the car that 'wasn't there' a moment ago could be visible to you if you do additional checks.

Great video as always! So helpful. Best driving YouTube channel on my opinion 😊

My test is coming up in 2 weeks and I'm losing my mind with nerves. My main issue used to be clutch control. I conquered that, now the biggest battle is mental preparation: observation, planning and mainly remembering to do these things. However after 20 hours i see the amazing progress i made and am feeling much more confident and definitely can see improvement thanks to your videos, which made me analyze what I'm doing wrong and most importantly why I'm doing it.

Will come back in 2 weeks time with the test result.

For me, it's going places I've never been before and the faded paint on road markings

[mahbubshumel]

Thank you . Helped me your videos on my test

[Jamie-yefu]

for me it was pulling up on the left and hitting the curb.

[Hysamegi]

I’ve failed twice, first time I’ve been extremely nervous and I failed in traffic lights and 1 minor, the examiner was very nice person and friendly, second time 1 serious fault for cutting corners, 5 minors, the examiner wasn’t friendly and very picky, she didn’t even say better luck next time, it’s been very disappointing failing for silly mistakes 😢😢

[madrooky]

As a German I would fail because to me it seems everyone is driving on the wrong side of the road... 😆

[hamza-knlk]

Plz could you tell me the deffirent driving test scotland and Ni

[alpeshcharaniya]

hiii all i will ask one question if u green signal and we can stop a car so examiners give me minor ya serious fault??

[josephabasilim]

Please you keep saying don't stare at the mirrors during manoeuvre. But i use my left mirror as a reference when doing reverse parking especially at the beginning of the process, will that not be a potential problem for me as the examiner may misunderstand it me staring in the mirror
