She strated off great, but with every mistake she kept losing confidence. I'm sure she'll be a good, competent driver, though. Her control is excellent.

You did a great job Becca. Don't let the faults get to you. Richard couldn't give you a license even if you passed, so it's much better to fail on a mock and learn from mistakes rather than encounter those kinds of situations for the first time on your real test. I also imagine that being on camera made you a little more anxious. You drive better than a lot of the people on the road with a license, let's be honest!

She was doing so well until the park, that hindered her confidence thus making her more likely to make little mistakes and get more frazzled! You did a great job Becca!!

I can’t tell you how valuable this video is, especially being able to see the mph and gear. Becca is such a skilled driver, she will have no trouble passing when the time comes.

I had a chance to have 1 lesson with Richard and I recommend him to everyone. I only left because I wanted an hour lesson instead of 2-hour lessons. He was very professional but at the same time comforting. I would recommend him to anyone that wants to learn how to drive to near perfection. He takes his job very seriously and in a very pleasant way. He is one of the best driving instructors in Colchester. Would definitely recommend Richard.

Today I passed my driving test first time with only 2 minors. Had 28 hours of lessons and thanks to these videos and my instructor 😃 good luck everyone.

I think Becca drove really well, it’s as if she is an experienced driver and has been driving for a while. Besides the odd mistakes like speeding that turned into a fault overall her driving was really good 👍

For Becca I'd advise one thing regrding parking: Lines are NOT walls, so if there aren't any cars next to that parking slot, don't care about crossing lines as long as you park normally and not like BMW X6 driver taking 6 spaces.

It's interesting that I, and almost everyone I see reversing into parking bays, first go past the space by a little amount and point the car at a 45-degree angle away from the space to make it easier to park correctly. That is also recommended in a book about advanced driving that I read. Yet, after my wife passed her test (in an auto), she stopped well past a space and at right angles to it and then needed to put on full lock to get in. Is this taught by instructors because it's deemed unsafe to get too close to other cars parked in the bays opposite the one you want to use?

@Teverell

I remember my instructor saying it's easier to park next to a car because you can see it, than to park next to an empty space where it's hard to see the line. Going forward to line up and then coming back straight also helps, and I think that's the point Becca messed it up because she was so nearly in that space.

Wow this is very refreshing to see someone doing a mock test and someone driving in the UK in general. The amount of roundabouts I've seen in this video is quite a lot as in the small city I live in, there's only one. I would love to try driving in the UK if I had the chance. Cheers from the Philippines

Thanks for letting this be filmed Becca. It has really helped me prepare for my test. Clearly a good driver in the making! I hope your real test went well!

Becca did really well and I could feel her frustration when she knew she made mistakes. This was me on my past lessons that i had before i passed my test. Hope she passed by now. 🙏

You are helping people from all around the world. I have learned a lot from you. I couldn't find an instructor teaching heel and toe technique, faster upshifts etc except you. Thank you for all your videos.

Watching this and remembering my test I feel nervous, even though I passed first time over a month ago with just 3 minors. My instructor and my examiner were both amazing but I found it less stressful with the examiner than I did the instructor, I guess because they didn’t know my habits. I thought I could never pass because I just felt sick every time I thought about having to take the test. Just remember, if you have your test coming up, if you can drive you can pass the test, the nerves will pass. My examiner was lovely and chatted to me on the route which really helped.

Thanks a really interesting video. Kudos to Becca too, she will learn from the mock and do better in the real test.

I remember my mock test in Poland (for obvious reasons of being a Pole), everything was going good enough that examiner would pass, but I messed up at the end phenomenally: See, there is a 2-lane road with a little road going to exam centre. It allowed me to go 70kph and I naively thought I'd be able to overtake a truck while uphill. I was going on a left lane trying to depserately overtake a truck while crossing 2 junctions, which would be classified as a fail due to clogging left lane, but after realising I wouldn't be able to overtake I've returned on a right lane and while my instructor was rebuking me about that I forgot about that road leading to exam centre WHILE I had a right indicator on AND there was a car on that road. If not a wisdom of that lad we'd have a car kiss. Rebuking of me increased. But at least we don't have to pass internal exam to apply for state exam, so very nice from lawmakers. Meanwhile I've gotten the state exam almost perfectly, I would count a minor for myself for entering road with a 30kph limit with 40-45kph (saw it too late and started braking kinda aggresively) and half-minor performing perpendicular parking not the best, but not bad enough to count a minor.

Driving in uk is different to driving in Poland you drive on the wrong side.

I’ve only watched the first few minutes of the video during one of my many bouts of insomnia. I might be wrong but it seems Becca isn’t using the handbrake in situations where I was taught would be obligatory. She also seems to be engaging the clutch for too long at junctions…Just thought I’d share my initial thoughts, but I’m looking forward to viewing the video in its entirety. Excellent content as always

From what I've read online and seen on other tyre review sites, there are some differences between US and Europe/UK terms. For example, an All Season tyre in the UK, is designed for all seasons, including winter and will have the TPMSF mark. Whereas All Season tire in the US is actually not really suitable for winter and will not have TPMSF mark. To get a US tire with the TPMSF mark, you need an All Weather tire. Confusing, so take in to consideration when watching or reading tyre reviews online. Here in the UK, most tyres on offer are Summer tyres, with a small handful of winter tyre options, and more recently, a selection of All Season tyres with the TPMSF mark. Our main roads are generally treated for snow and ice, and as you say, winter tyres are not mandatory here. Problems start if you live in a more rural area, away from the main roads. I personally have just replaced my Goodyear Eagle F1s for Goodyear Vector 4 gen-3: an All Season tyre as having driven a car with Winter tyres, I can tell you that whilst they make a difference, the amount of extreme weather in my area calling for Winter tyres is limited, so as such, I think the All Season tyre is a good compromise here. If I lived in Scotland or the Lake District, I would be more likely to consider Winter tyres.

My new favorite youtube driving instructor because he said 'synchromesh'

@robin1987100

6 ай бұрын

I like 'simple' inventions, a synchromesh ring is a very cheap component that has made the use of manual gearboxes 10x easier. It allows you to select any gear while the car is moving, regardless of engine RPM. In the old days your granddad had to put the gearbox in neutral first, then bring up the clutch, accelerate the engine to the RPM matching the gear he's trying to select and THEN press the clutch again and select the next gear. This is particularly difficult when, for example, going from 4th gear to 2nd gear while approaching a roundabout. Reverse is typically not a synchronized gear, if you try to select reverse while the car rolls forward you WILL hear a noise (try it, in your instructors car). If the car is rolling backwards while you select first gear, this will not happen, because forward gears are fitted with synchromesh rings.

As someone who will hopefully be moving to the UK later this year these videos are extremely helpful. I've driven there before on my California license without incident, and have been driving for thirty-five years, but I'm sure i wouldn't currently pass the test there. I'll likely hire an instructor before attempting the test once I'm there. Can anyone recommend a good instructor in the area near York or Scarborough? Interestingly there are quite a few procedures it seems you have to follow that would have been errors on the tests I've taken here in different parts of the U.S., so if anyone is moving here from the U.K. I would recommend getting a few lessons before testing. There are a few things shown in these videos that would potentially be errors here (it will vary depending on which state in the U.S. you are in and sometimes which county and city). It appears in the UK they want you to check your mirror before signalling a turn or lane change but here you either do them simultaneously or you signal first (just slightly). This is because the signal is indicating your intent to change position, so if you look and then signal you've now caused a delay between when you looked and when you move, unless you look again. Another difference I noticed is you don't seem to need to signal in the UK when you are moving into the other lane to avoid cars parked along the street. Here, you would need to signal that change, both directions, though you won't encounter many places with streets that narrow here that allow parking right in the middle of a car lane. I don't know if it's legal in the UK or not but I noticed in the video a lot of people park in the opposite direction of the lane they are parked next to (or in). That would be illegal and would get you ticketed here. Another big difference is that there isn't a different license here for manual or automatic transmissions. You can take the test in an automatic and if you pass you can legally drive a manual. Tests are also typically much shorter here. Some states have forty minute tests but most are only around twenty minutes. There also aren't so many subjective errors when they aren't a violation of law or a safety risk. Like in this video when there was a concern about her revs when starting on a hill. Of course our streets are much easier to drive on so it makes sense the test is harder in the UK. You can start driving as young as fourteen in some states here and we get driving instruction as part of our regular school in many places of the U.S. Oh, and here you can take the test anywhere in your state, is that the same in the UK? If you live in London, for example, can you take the test in a town where it is easier to drive?

Excellent video.

As a truck driver prople coasting to a stop triggers me. You always keep a truck in gear with clutch pedal out unless you're changing gear or just about stopped

Becca, some of it is feeling pressure because it's test conditions. My mock test 2 weeks ago was my worst drive in months, I clipped 2 curbs , it unravelled. Xxx

What an extremely calm manner he has

It was so good for like first 25 mins which in my experience us my problem.. all is well then bam things go wrong... I'm watching this as I have my test tomorrow. Trying g to get pointers and it was good thank you

Couple of mistakes, couple of gaps in knowledge (seems to have been exacerbated by her being flustered due to nerves), but still better than a good portion of drivers I see on the road, all mistakes are easy fixes. Well done Becca, brave for agreeing to be filmed
