People usually make videos for learner drivers and never really towards new drivers who've recently passed their test. If you could make a series for us new drivers, that would be amazing as this video really help calm the nerves and was very informative!

Im glad you showed this video. When I passed, I realised I was not taught how to put fuel in my car, I had to ask someone random to show which I felt embarrassed. Other things I didnt know is simple things like how to order food on mcdonalds drive through, how to park in big shopping centre car parks ect, its all the basic random things that does not occur in your head as a Learner but essential things that we need know before we get on the road!

As a new driver, I'd love to see more of these day to day car guides that they just don't teach you on the test!

This is so good for people who never had family show them and/or older new drivers who feel embarrassed about having to ask how to do simple things such as filling up the tank. Thank you so much for your instructional videos!

I’ve been driving for over 20 years and even I learnt a lot from this video. I’ve made a few adjustments and am now filling up my car the correct way. Thank you

[Micazasdebandito]

I love this video, clear and calming. You have a great voice for it.

Honestly I could not have passed my driving first time with out World driving or DGN driving school. Learning from others mistakes is a very good way to correct or prevent the same mistakes. It was 3 years ago when I passed but I just came across DGN recently and fond memories flooded back. Keep it

My family was too financially to pay for photos yet alone have a car, so I'm a first gen car owner at 53.
These youtube videos are invaluable to me...thank you

I passed my test a month ago and had to look this up because I was never shown how lol. Thank you.

Fantastic video. Just a summary for the future:

1) position the car at good distance from the fuel hose and open the fuel lid (must be ready to plug the hose in.)
2) pick correct fuel for your car (look in manufacturer's manual or fuel lid)
3) fill up as much as you need or stop when the pump stops
4) take out with care, put it back safely
5) go back to the shop, tell the number of the fuel pump and pay

I'm a new driver, and here I am learning these basics. 😂 I never had a car, so I don't know even small things, and I don't want to embarrass myself in front of other people waiting in the queue because I don't know what to do.

[uuclnzn]

thank you so much! I always felt insecure in the gas stations not knowing how they operate and what comes first - money or petrol, because it's different from country to country. So today was my first time filling up a car in UK and it went great thanks to your video!

[PYCHO]

Having driven electric for a year and now going hybrid, this actually helped. I was wondering about the possibility of overfilling, but this is great to know the pump does that leg work for me

[chunkymonkey]

Thank you for taking the time to film this, feeling like an idiot so many of us don't have to!

[relaxedandlovingit]

Goodness, what a brilliant video and so thorough, thank you!
So strange that non of this important info is even taught in a lesson.

[prodigy]

Every words and close up, bin, lift the nozzle twice, etc. are so useful. Very well made video for beginners. Much appreciated

[mishalacrafts]

This really helped. Been driving for 20 years, never had to fill the petrol myself :) finally did today and your video helped greatly to reduce anxiety on what to expect. Excellent explanation, many thanks.

[parzival]

Subscribed because this has really helped me a lot. To be honest, i get my new car next week (my first) and was very nervous on how to fill up. You have showed me and others how easy it actually is. On behalf of myself and everyone else, thank you

[sidhu]

Very useful! Thanks for sharing this, I'll be driving in the UK for the first time and realized I don't really know how to refuel aha, I've been driving since 2015 but from where I lived before we had attendants to refuel so I was never bothered.
