Sorry but I think you were in the wrong lane when you wanted the second exit at crittels corner roundabout 😢I still think you are great ❤

I just passed Bromley 21st June 2023 with 2 x minors and here is my advice:

= be prepared to do a manouvre before you leave the test centre - I was asked to bay reverse park straight away.
= don't overlook early start slots - I started at 8:10am and the roads were not even busy.
= don't rush out at junctions - slow down in 1st gear, check both ways AND THEN move off, you don't have to rush off thinking your gonna be marked down for hesitation. They want to see your navigating and checking both ways safely.
= don't get caught up in too much conversation - this distracted me on the independnt driving and nearly missed my right-turn on two occassions, being overly nice won't help you pass, concentrate on driving safely!

I just had my driving test yesterday in sidcup and i passed first time with only 3 minors. I have watched a lot of your videos whilst learning to drive and they really helped me. Thank you, Francis.

I wanted to thank you for all your incredibly helpful videos. I started learning to drive at 20 and was just too nervous, so gave up. I started learning again this year (I'm now 39) and I have just passed with 0 faults at Hither Green. Anytime I wasn't sure about anything I used your videos to help me. They were invaluable, thank you!

I passed at Sidcup a month ago, the examiners are really nice. I actually should’ve failed because I mounted the curb a little when he asked me to pull over in the first 2 minutes of the test
(I had never mounted the curb in all my lessons so I don’t know where that came from!)
But at the end of the test he said because the rest of the drive was perfect he passed me 😌

Passed my test here yesterday on my first attempt with 4 minors 🥳 thank you to your videos

I passed my test two days ago on this exact route, thank you!!

I passed my driving test in sidcup I’m 2021. I had a really easy route and drove round where I live soo I knew the roads well 😂👍🏼

Passed Sidcup today my instructor was Shane he was lovely.

When you re do Sidcup can you do ruxley roundabout 4th exit and head straight to crittals corner! Thanks for all the great vids! A whole video on crittals corner would be good!! 😊

When you came off the a20 at Sidcup with B&Q on your left, you took the left lane to go straight ahead towards Swanley/foot cray roundabout..

[Clodzzzzz]

The Bromley/Sidcup areas are amazing cause every road is pretty much 30. Did my test in Hither Green and It’s really annoying that the roads are 20. Even the massive road that goes from Lewisham fire station to Catford is 20 which is very annoying as it’s such a massive road.

[louisee]

Sorry Francis but you failed this driving test. At the roundabout (22:42) you were taking the second exit but you positioned in the left only lane. You should have been in the middle lane to be able to take the second exit👍

Last year I made the mistake of booking a test at Sidcup cause it was the only area with slots and on top of that I hired a car I used first time the day of my test. All because I wanted to pass quickly. DONT make the same mistake I did ! I ended up failing which in hindsight was inevitable. Moral of the story is don’t rush into your test. Luckily I passed in Hither Green which I’m very familiar with. Good luck to those who have tests coming up!

Most of my lessons have been in Belvedere but my instructor suggested we do Sidcup for test as the examiners are more forgiving? Does anyone know how true this is? 😅 did my first drive round Sidcup today and I think I prefer Belvedere but probably because I’m more used to the area now. Need more lessons in Sidcup for sure!!

You should do a Burgess Hill test route in South East, loads and loads of roundabouts, Higher speed limits and tight roads with loads of meeting situations and lots of different hazards around

Hi, if you guys watch the last 3min of the video. The part where he’s approaching crittals corner going straight over the 2nd exit. This guy is telling people to be in the left lane. Even tho it’s clearly marked left only. In the video he goes straight on from the left only lane 😂😂😂 you sure mate

[tillyxdr]

I use to ride a motorbike around sodcup for 4 years and I've been doing driving test 100+ hours over years and stopping. My test is in a few days in sidcup and I can't wait

[claudinedormer]

Can you do the hardest test in Sidcup please 😁😁😁😁😁

[MQureshi]

I am teaching someone so want to confirm something because I classes various things you did as major mistakes. Please advise
1. Roundabout at the end 22:30 you failed in my opinion as you should have been in the middle lane.
2. Waiving thank you to others
3. Lane discipline was off most of the video. In particular your tyre was unnecessarily crossing the cycle lane
4. Hands not on wheel most of the time
5. On left turns you are crossing over to incoming lane unnecessarily
