I passed my test this morning - first time with 4 minors and I owe so much credit to your videos I binged over the past few weeks!!! Thank you for your wonderful content! You are literally the best teacher 🙌🏼

[bryandaily]

Sir, you are by far the best driving instructor I have ever seen keep it up.

Suggestion: start doing mock practical test with different people

[MrAllywood]

This man helped me a lot understanding driving. God bless you.

Passed first time this morning with 3 minors after two years of learning to drive but no instructor because of demand due to covid. Your videos ensured I knew exactly how to prepare for the test and very much helped me pass today! Thank you!

I passed my driving test 13 years ago which had 14 minors. I failed the first time with a major and on both occasions I had gotten the same examiner. Anyway, no accidents in those 13 years of driving and I have even driven in other Countries where the vehicle had the steering wheel on the left hand side. Once you pass your driving test don’t look back and enjoy driving.

I like how clear this man speaks nice work

You're the best driving instructor on youtube. I was watching this bald guy and he was so arbitrary with his driving protocols. Being like "every 8 seconds check all your mirrors" and "shoulder check every time you move laterally." When practicing it was causing even more or a distraction cuz I was too busy checking mirrors and wasnt even fully aware of what was going on in front of me. I really appreciate how in one of your videos you said something like "you need to use the mirrors that are relevant to the information you need to know in that situation."

So thank you for being more practical and logical in your driving instruction. It took a lot of stress off me from worrying about checking mirrors arbitrarily when I'm already aware of the vehicles around me.

Thankfully I found your videos just in time, I had 2 days to go through as many as I could and I passed my driving test this week with 3 minors.
Now I won't have to cycle to work in the rain all the time now 😃
