Josh - your video's and attitude are brilliant! I stumbled across your channel doing some last minute revising - convinced I was going to fail my driving test the next day. Your confidence boost comment - "Your examiner wants you to pass - you start with 100%!" gave me the confidence I needed. I passed with two minors

Congratulations Amber on passing your driving test 1st time totally deserved to pass 👊😎🇬🇧

Love this channel. It’s really making me considering a career change. Nice one Josh 👍🏼

35 in a 30 would probably be a major if it was at the center in my home town. The instructors and examiners are really strict on that here, my instructor had a vein bulging on his head when I was doing 35 just before a 40 sign... glad he was strict on me because now I never speed up before reaching those signs

Absolutely superb video Josh. I'm 51 and getting ready to take my driving test after a 30 year gap. I failed 30 years ago for the most disgusting reason, and it destroyed my confidence and faith in the examiners. Now I'm ready to take my test again, and these mock test videos are huge confidence boosters. I was nervous for Amber lol. So pleased she passed. Well done Kiddo.

Let's not forget to congratulate and thank Josh the driving instructor who is amazing, always Jolly and interacts in conversation with the learner, very knowledgeable Great Channel Cheers Josh 👊😎🇬🇧

I don’t think I would have given her a fault (when meeting with the white car 09:14) as the obstruction was on their side of the road and they would have seen you oncoming too.. I would have given her an advisory. 11:58 driving fault was doing 31 mph in a 40.. excellent drive amber and congratulations 🎉

Congratulations on your pass Amber I'd say Josh missed a driver fault on the right reverse. When moving away Amber did initially check her left blind spot but then waited for the oncoming vehicle. Then moved away without checking her left blind spot again.

You are probably right James well noticed. I'll double check that now🤣🙌

I watched this video this morning before my test and it helped me pass my tell me question. It was the exact question my examiner asked me. It was good I watched it some few minutes to my test because I didn't know the answer 😅

Kind of hard to see on a phone screen, but guessing the mystery fault was 28 in a 40? The was fairly frequent under/over speeding, I'd definitely consider 37 in a 30 to be serious worthy, especially as it was a reoccurring issue. Another one was checking mirrors/blindspot for merge-in-turns and a little bit of roundabout lane discipline. Brushing the curb at 3mph, fair enough, but at 7mph... not worth the risk, just give more space and slow down. A few instances of going into 1st as well, when the most appropriate gear was 2nd. Near the end signalling before checking mirrors/blindspots, the van and car might have thought you were pulling out immediately. Well done on getting it done on the real thing!

Well done Amber. ☺️💕

Excellent driver!

Well done Amber

On my first test I was going 35 in a 30mph zone and the examiner told me to slow down… there I knew I had failed! After that I was in another 30 zone driving at 17mph and he said I was too slow (there was no traffic behind me) My second driving test I was so focused on the speed that I passed with only 2 minors 🙏

Excellent drive by Amber, the white car at the road works should have give way to her,it was her side of the road Well done Amber 👊😎🇬🇧

Well done Amber! Josh, would you consider doing a video on country lanes, like the ones Amber did. A bit around the limiting point. Where I live there aren’t many roads like this. Although there is one I believe on a test route. I will ask my instructor to take me there. I think a video would be good insight before doing a road like that. Thanks in advance x

Hey coca yes I'll make a video on country lanes and limiting points soon. Thank You! 😁🙌

hi guys , watch all your vids josh ,and ive been teaching now for around 18 months ,i train similiar to you and have a laugh and me and my pupils probably swear too much lol, one thing i did spot mate, was her head restraint was too high and dangerous ,petty i know ,but i do know 1 examiner who would not be happy with that , i always give a serious on speed of 32 or more even if its just before the speed change ,i call it tough love ,but they soon get used to it ,and as i say we do it all in a chilled way ..well done amber ..

Hey Josh, really nice videos! Minor comments below: 1. At ~20:25 has nothing to do with the bridge, it means that you have priority over the traffic joining the carriageway from the right ! 2. At 22:10 speed limit is 50 but speeds up to 60; I think that's a fail. 3. At 31:30 I assume that'd be a fail. However, I wish I could drive that well. She probably passed first time.

@@JoshRamwell highly recommend you. Already shared you to a few mates that are learning keep up the good work👍

While reversing, she didn't check right blind spot at all...

For the white car I would have said minor, as you said holding back would have been best in that situation, as the white car couldn't give way. 36mph would have been a serious I would have thought. Your mystery driving fault was she was doing 30mph in a 40mph zone. She also never checked her right miror on exit at the roundabout just before this. For the pull up on the right, I would have done a full six point check before reversing, and although she did check her left blind, she then waited some time before pulling out, so I would have checked that blind spot again. This was a tough route with plenty of speed limit changes, well done, you definately look test ready. Good luck 👍.

13:35 should they not be checking over right shoulder first as moving off to the left?

Well said Craig an excellent tip and congratulations!🙌😁

22:27 she is doing 57 in a 50 zone while you are talking about her needing to get her speed up to 50. Looks like a clear fail as she doesn't know she's not in national speed limit but maybe the on screen speed is wrong?

Amber should have waited behind the parked car & waited until the oncoming car cleared the roadworks as they were already in the hazard - That would have been an instant fail. Also another major fault was she's either going way above the speed limit (at one point she was doing 36mph in a 30pmh) or like at 11:46 she was doing 28mph in a 40mph. All of those would have been an instant fail. When she did her reverse, before moving off she should have checked her mirrors & blind spots again. Other than those points her observations were excellent and she was safe & in control of her car, very good piece of driving 😊

Might be mistaken, but at 10:00 - I thought you couldn’t overtake on the zigzags?

@JoshRamwell

Жыл бұрын

Really good comment Sam and you would be right if there was one lane. When there is two lanes though then if you could not overtake then you cannot use the right lane which would not make any sense. Essentially if you are using the second lane there is no danger

I had very weird experience at Stafford driving test centre. This instructor was very friendly at beginning but all of sudden he keeps repeating himself like 10 times. Which made me go into panic mode and I made a major fault. Anyone had similar experience? I was driving and he told me to pull up on left. He was like “pull up on left under the lamps here mate here mate just here mate…. I literally had to signal and go left cause he was in hurry. Even before completing the whole manuvour he kept tell me to move off when ready and that’s when I made my major. It’s ridiculous that I have to give the test again.

S fault above 10% speed limit just before 40 signs as its law, however some may just fault if rest of test is good and fault at 11:43ish making progress. fault obs on reverse 2 car lenths no right sholder checks, could of had someone stood on the corner. she will pass tho if she keeps her head on, o nevermind lol just noticed she has passed well done to you both, greats vids josh.

Thanks Chris and yes I would normally serious fault this although I have rarely seen them pass for this exact situation. I definitely wouldn't put my money on it though and it does risk a speeding ticket🤣😅

Did she only have to check her blindspots after over taking the bikes because they were bikes? Or do you have to check blindshots all the time?

@JoshRamwell

Жыл бұрын

Really depends on the situation. If changing lanes I'd always advice blind spot check 🙂

I think it would depend how long she was going over the speed limit for as to whether it would be a minor or a serious, I’m guessing she would’ve got a serious because she didn’t bring it back down straight away.

That’s a bit harsh surely that’s not a fail as you was making sure not to go too fast cause of the weather

In the minute 34.49 before moving off SHE first have to check the mirrors before signaling

I think it shud been fail on speed but she drove so well

Mr. instructor, head restraint isn't adjusted properly for the driver :)

Passed but watch your speed lol

Pass

When she went passed them bikes she indicated before checking mirrors is that a minor?

It might be an advisory but no as long as you do actually check and if needed signal the order shouldn't actually matter provided it doesn't cause an issue for anyone else.
