Jason was on point for a DVSA examiner😂. The atrocious jokes, the robotic small talk (what would you normally be doing today), and the delivery of instructions - brilliant😅

Nothing worse than the feeling of knowing you got a major but still having to drive back to the test centre

[leewolf]

That examiner act was absolutely brutal!! Perfectly captured how horrible they make you feel 🤣

Jason giving instructions like a DVSA soldier

Videos like this are a useful reminder for all drivers. Passed my test in Dec 97, but its too easy to pick up bad habits or to get lazy because you've got your licence and you're not being tested. A really good reminder for anybody, regardless of how long we've been driving, of the standards we should be maintaining.

I passed first time a few days ago with three minors. Thanks for all the help Richard.

Advice to anyone taking a test, even if you are *absolutely* certain you failed, still try your best. I thought I failed on two occasions: once where I emerged on a major road with a car coming & I had to stamp on the brakes, & the second where I braked quite sharply to tuck in on a hill with a car close behind, then stalled the car, & then rolled back quite a bit. Yet both incidents were marked as driving faults & I still passed so please don't ever give up during your test.

I respect anyone who is willing to be filmed on a mock-test, especially in a situation like this where it's an experienced driver but lacking a bit of familiarity with UK road craft. Fair play to Kam. I'd had a full motorcycle license for a long time before passing my car test and my instructor said one of my major advantages was experience with UK Road Craft, especially roundabouts, that made life much easier for me (Still had a lot to learn and adapt I will admit).
Also, great Examiner persona. I'm pretty sure part of the job description of an examiner is to have an unnervingly good poker face...

Thanks to the young guy for agreeing to this, I’ve been driving for 40 years and would still find this nerve wracking!

He drives pretty good for an American let alone someone from Florida

As a 73 year old biker and driver, your video's help me keep up to speed. You never stop learning. My thanks to you.

[barsorrro]

Richard, I'm not planning to take the British driving test, but I find driving, traffic and road regulations an interesting subject, and I really enjoy listening to your very clear, sensible and well-ordered explanations. However, your role-play as the instructor is what makes this video a true gem :). I've not had my mood so improved by somebody in a good couple of days. You are a man of many talents!

I had a British motorcycle licence when I lived for 2 years in the UK when I was an American teen back in 1970. When I returned as a resident in 2017 I drove around on my US license for a year (they don't let you get a licence immediately), and then I took the three tests: 1) theory test; 2) perception test; and 3) practical. I passed all three the first time! My new British wife supervised a lot of my driving at first so as to teach me the ropes, and then my step-son-in-law (who had been a professional driving instructor) gave me about 3 lessons.
I love driving in the UK!

😂😂 I was smiling throughout this video. The stoic face, lame jokes, and almost condescending remarks/tone at times were so accurate as to how a lot of driving examiners act and behave during the test. This video also taught me some things I did not know, having passed more than a year ago. The learning continues..

"I'm afraid you failed. Better luck next time."
*Does not elaborate.*
*Leaves.*

Don’t like leaving comments like this but I just wanted to say thanks for your videos. I passed my test with 0 driver faults last week and I found your videos really useful for understanding why cars behave certain ways in different situations, particularly around downshifting and changing gears smoothly; was a massive help. Cheers!

47:20 The moped rider also points out the driver's mistake and literally points the correct turning out. Nice.

[MrPaulc]

I am an experienced driver who passed my test (at the second attempt) in 1981 and I have been driving most days since 1988. I want to say that even with that level of experience, I find there is value in watching Richard's videos. Some aspects of driving have changed in the past 40 years - particularly in cities - though I mostly drive in moderate-sized towns and sometimes the countryside. I particularly note the stuff about the approach speed to junctions, especially as I drive a transit-sized van that often carries a heavy load. Van driving is a bit different from car driving even at the level of c. 3 tonnes, and many of the things Richard says are even more significant in such circumstances.

I’m so glad that my examiner was really down to earth and friendly and he went out of his way to make me relax, we had a good chat and some jokes during my test. My instructor said all the Dudley test centre examiners are really nice but think I got the nicest one!

[cmchang]

Richard, I passed my test today with 3 minors. Your videos helped me a lot and I really enjoy them. You literally understand all the problems learners facing and give useful advice. You are a brilliant instructor❤I would recommend everyone who are learning driving to watch your YouTube channel.

Kudos to the American guy for doing this!
