Learning to drive is so intense! So much information to take in whilst trying to coordinate your body, listen to your instructor, stay safe, watch for hazards, etc. I hope you're doing well, Emily! Well done here, you got better and better you more you practised.

Keep at it Emily. With enough practice under your belt your brain develops a subconscious "road sense" and muscle memory, and you'll suddenly realise everything isn't as overwhelming as it used to be.

The instructor is a nice fella. On remembering my driving lessons in the late 1970s, having a good rapport with the instructor is very important. Just in passing, when I passed my driving test, the highway code book was about 20 pages. It is now War and Peace 🙂

It's funny to me just how emotionally invested I've become in seeing Emily pass her driving test! 😂

[Hassan_uk]

Imagine the day she becomes a really great safe driver and realizing that she done that. And feeling proud.

[malamoo]

I’m such an anxious driver but I managed pass first time a couple of days ago, I really do mean it when I say I genuinely couldn’t have done it without these videos! Thank you so much Richard, I’m going to continue watching these to help with my confidence.

[wondersupremo]

oh yes emily again, thank you for bringing us in this journey and special thanks also for emily for not being shy and letting record her lessons helping us!

[liliagrace]

i started driving lessons around a similar time to emily - watching someone doing the same as me is super helpful!

[Volaths]

As someone who is a little further on in the learning process (I'm about 70% test ready) roundabouts I also really really struggled with when first starting them, there's so much to do and focus on it all gets a bit overwhelming when you're new but you're doing great Emily and in time it'll become natural, what you have to remember, and what we tend to forget, when learning is that we are doing just that, we're learning. Nothing is ever going to be perfect when learning, you aren't going to nail everything first time and that's okay, that's what this process is all about.

[gogee]

Emily is so funny and fun to watch. She is doing good. Keep it up Emily, you will make a great driver.

I have passed my driving test in Southampton, all thanks to your videos they’ve been really helpful. I’m a big fan of you Richard and now I’m recommending your channel to new learners now.

[decafienatedcoffe]

You're doing great Emily! I had my first lesson on roundabouts last week, and I struggled with them a lot at the start. Seeing someone who's at a similar place to me in lessons is really helpful and is a great refresher!

[dmac]

I understand why you teach the 12 o'clock 'rule', and I'm glad you clarified that it's not in the Highway Code because there are so many people online who insist that it's a rule!

[AdamColl]

Emily you did very well for your first roundabout lesson! Done more 3 lane roundabouts than I have in the last few years living where I live...

[jacklfirth]

Passed my test today with 0 minors, your videos were a massive part. Thanks Richard!

[sntxrrr]

Seeing her struggle when confronted with a new situation helps me appreciate learner drivers more. I've been driving for decades but I too had to learn this at some point and struggled in the beginning. She's doing fine.

[LS-exnn]

I learn more and more the relationship of driver's car with its surrounding dynamic environment, which greatly help me build up my confidence, with the "on the road" series. Through those viedos, I realized that on the road driving is definitely more than skills but much more relying on the driver's attitude to cope with the situation in probably only several seconds. Thanks so much, Richard ❤ thanks, Emily 🌹

[Cactoida]

I started on my 17th birthday and I probably over a years worth of lessons one hour a week and I still coast like Emily does and my foot can’t leave the clutch sometimes but I am dealing with it I have my test in 1 months time I haven’t had a mock test yet I’m definitely still learning I have a problem with roundabouts I tend to give way to the left And stop when it’s clear. Great job Emily you will definitely be a great driver one day.

Update I passed my test.

[serenababe]

I’ve had so many breaks literally in my driving lessons… and watching your videos have made me feel more confident even just by watching Emily in this video. Thank you

I applied for my trainee instructor badge yesterday. These videos have been really helpful to get an idea of what to expect from a pupil and also what is needed from me
