Hi Jerpy can you teach my to take drive licence more fast😊

I have had the same experience as Jacob. I had 1 lesson and the instructor was very rude and discouraged me. I practiced with my dad for 2 months, and then I had passed with only 2 minors! He also said I would never pass without an instructor haha! Believe in yourself everyone

Richard you are a wealth of information and your knowledge of ADI will never go unnoticed! I love all the little details like % of things and likely-hood...its ridiculous how deeply you go into details of certain situations. Top tier stuff!

I just came back here to thank you, I passed my test yesterday 🙏

he did pretty well it seems, after that long and with the pressure, done alright in my books

When he was about to set off I thought you had forgotten the safety question again Richard (sorry i mean Gary), was relieved when you remembered it lol!

I passed my test in Ireland today. These videos were an incredible resource. Thanks so much.

I am so close to be able to learn to drive, but always watching your videos and it's fun and feels like getting knowledge early which will probably help. Keep up the great work! 👍🏻

You helped me pass my initial car test and really helped me nail reversing into a bay! I still find them useful to watch every now and then even now that I have my PCV (Bus/ Coach) and am going for my C+E (Lorry with a separate trailer). Keep up the great work :)

I passed my UK driving test first try. I didn’t have any lessons, but I did have 30 years of driving experience in the USA. Your videos were super helpful (especially the ones about the roundabouts). I didn’t really need to learn to drive, just to learn how to navigate roundabouts and a few of the other driving related things that were different between the USA to the UK. I still sometimes try to get in on the wrong side of the car though lol.

@@yamieyamete3822 manual transmission vehicles are very uncommon in the USA (unless you are driving a lorry/semi). I have only ever driven automatic transmission. Shifting with my left instead of my right isn’t that strange to me, most of the cars I drive in the USA had the gear shift on the left side of the steering column. Driving on the other side didn’t feel that weird, right turns were very weird feeling to me in the beginning. I really had to think about where I was going.

Thank you, Richard,once more I was reminded how crucial being a responsible and safe driving is much more than passing the tests while cultivation of good driving manners, behaviors and operations is the only easy way to safety on the road❤ Thank you, Jacob, for sharing your experiences with us.⚘️

I did 0 lessons. Passed second time but just because i was ignorant. I was warned to overreact when looking in the mirrors, and I didn't. Examiner saw this and used it into my disadvantage. Passed second time with no problems

Fantastic video , glad to see Jason’s cousin Garry on the video 😂 your content is helping me tenfold with my lessons and made my theory a doddle . Thank you !

Videos definitely help. I have only done 10 hours of lessons so far, but my instructor thinks I'm well ahead of most learners at this stage, and that's largely down to your channel as well as a few other KZreadrs (Ashley Neal, Aman @ Clearview Driving and Chris @ World Driving) so thank you all for the great content you're producing!

I started driving 2 weeks ago, and I've been using your videos to improve my techniques. I'm slap bang in the middle of my lane (unless it's not safe to be) thanks to your left knee video. Prior, I was trying to use markers such as a point on the bonnet or within the car, but was doing as you described and zigzagging, getting too close on one side or the other of my lane. Unsurprisingly, my passenger didn't feel very safe, but now has no complaints. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. It has given me so much confidence!

Hi Richard, I passed my driving test last week with only 2 minor faults, and I'd like to thank you for these videos you've put up, they've helped me a huge amount in confidence on the road and to refine my skill. Thanks

I passed my test first time yesterday with massive help from your videos and I still enjoy watching them! Thanks so much :)

Congratulations. Now, if you haven't had one already, have a motorway lesson. If you find yourself accidentally on a slip road to a motorway, just do what you would do on a slip road to a high speed dual carriageway - accelerate, look for a gap, check mirrors and blind spot, match the speed of the traffic, slot in to a space.

I passed my test this Tuesday with two minors!! I watched your videos religiously beforehand and do feel like it truly helped, so thank you for all you do, I pick up my car next week!!

I'm one of those family members that's has has taught all my children and friends kids, about 20 or so. All but 2 passed first time. I see learner drivers A LOT in my job and instructors vary greatly. I've been driving for 30 odd years and spend my day driving a bus...so had to pass the test again, I also train new drivers who have just passed their test. I found Richard's channel when I started helping my 17 year old nephew over a 18 months ago (passed 1st time) and I'm still watching to this day. Not only is this channel helping those trying to pass their test, it's keeping me informed and up-to date. It's been a big help to me to become a better amateur instructor. I just wonder if I could pass?...

Passed first time today. At the start of learning I never thought I'd be able to pass, let alone first time. I wouldn't have been able to do it without these videos. Thanks man :)

This man is the reason I'm a 16 year old on the road right now. Sure I don't drive a car, I ride a moped and this is the guy who taught me how to deal with roundabouts, junctions, everything 👍 thanks man😊

A good drive overall and a great video. The point you raised at the end, if something is 1 in 10 thousand..... that's food for thought!

can’t even believe how helpful these videos have been, passed today with no faults and without a single lesson with an instructor. Thank you so much for making the content that you do!❤️

Hi Richard, I have passed my driving test today without any lessons! I have an international driving license which I could use to drive legally. I have just binge-watched your videos. At first, I could not watch your video for more than two minutes as they are so long and detailed. Later when I failed first time and start watching your videos seriously. Your videos contains so many small details that I never found on any other channels. So anyone watch this video and reading my comment I suggest you to watch his videos with serious attention and you will be a better and confident driver for sure.

Thank you love the video .I am PDI and found it really helpful .👍

Jacob did pretty well. I've been riding motorcycles since 2012 and either this year or next plan to do my car test. It's annoying having all the road craft needed but having to think about how to control the car. I'm around 60% of the way there but it's weird having to think a little bit about getting the car to do what I want whereas on my bike I don't have to think about it. I've certainly picked up bad habits that I'm going to have to make sure not to do. Your vids have been a great help!

I'm in the exactly same league as this fellow, no real tests, practiced with my GF, watched videos like yours to pass first time. Even had the same sort of speed limit issue but mine was coming out of a 40 into where it becomes a 30 slightly before a roundabout, i wouldn't lower to the speed in time. Luckily like you said, my examiner was one of more lenient ones and marked it as a minor.

His one lesson, lasted only 45 hours , impressive 👍

(Sorry for the long comment in advance) I never usually comment on things... But I just wanted to say this is absolutely possible! I passed my test within 3 months of booking my first driving lesson. and I give HUGE credit to all these KZreadr's, Videos like these is what helped me each week to come back better. My instructor was always shocked how much I learned from online. And I would practise what I learned from these videos in my instructors car. Also a tip to anyone watching these videos. Imagine yourself in that car. and when you hear an examiner or sat nav in a video tell you to turn left or turn right. Move your head up as if you are checking your rear view mirror, and then move your head left or right as if you are checking your side mirrors. even though you are sat at your compute/laptop/phone. This will Imprint the muscle memory into your brain. and when your test comes. You will hear: "Turn right" and will naturally move your head up and right. There's many different things you can practise in your own room. There's even fun road sign games and things you can play. Just have fun with your learning. don't treat it as a chore, JUST HAVE FUN, you all can do it

Drive with your dad with n instructor I got nowhere after I think 40 hours. I could drive but I did pmt have any confidence but my parents bought me a car then I went out driving with my dad a lot and now my confidence is crazy high. I already passed and now I literally drive with my knees (on straight roads lol)

Checking blind spot seems over exaggerated. I have my side mirrors setup such that it's angled super far out and forms a continuous image with the cabin mirror. This way for lane changes I can check cabin mirror for overtaking cars that will soon appear in the side mirror, check the side mirror, and lastly a quick shoulder check. With this setup the blind spot is virtually eliminated for cars. Motorcyclists can still hide if they ride in the far outside lane though; hence the need for the shoulder check. I don't think I've seen you mentioned mirror setup before on this channel. It does make parking next to curbs hard though since I can't see the side of my car with the side mirrors. I have to get my butt out of my seat in order to see the side of my car or to use one of the pre-programmed mirror settings specifically for parking.

My dad passed with 0 lessons on his 17th birthday this was back in the early 1970 . So obviously no Internet to watch. The way he passed was from 16 he had a full motorbike licence and had reliant robbin. Which you could drive on a motorbike licence. The night before he had his mate drove round the route he would use and told him what to do on test. Obviously totally different to now. He did have to later to do another driving test when living in another country as can't use a British licence for ever if you have imigrated. I'm not sure of all the ins and outs of it probably other than if you have moved to another country they won't let you use a foreign licence indefinitely. Holiday is fine to drive

Do not make other car users slow down, stop or change direction, and drive within the speed limit you should pass ,

1 lesson isn't an option in Norway. 17 hour mandatory basic course (in class, not driving) to get lerner's permit; (parts of it not mandatory above 25 years old. 1 mandatory assessment lesson after level 2 training 4 hour mandatory safety course on track 1 mandatory assessment lesson after level 3 training 13 hour mandatory safety course on roads Minimum 19 hour (each 45 minutes) driving

My advice is if you want to reduce paid lessons AND you have someone to practice with do about 20/30 hrs driving with family/friends emphasis on observations - mirrors when changing speed and direction. Blind spots when moving off. This alone will save you plenty of time in paid lessons. Obviously videos like this help tremendously
