Congratulations my friend, you're a god

Your videos were absolutely invaluable in helping me pass my test last week. The clear concise instructions and diagrams were amazing. Thankyou for your videos on West wickham as it helped hearing someone else say how nice and chill the roads were there, as my test location got changed to there and I'd only had an hour of practice before taking the test, it really helped.

I passed my test 2 weeks ago in the Southall test centre and your videos helped me so much. Thank you so much Francis! And good luck Jess! You’ve got this, you are an amazing driver!

Great Vid, great job Jess, here as my son asked me to watch, (he was binge watching your vids) he passed his test with 4 minors in WW Thursday after it was cancelled in December due to bad weather. Was worried as his instructor wasn’t available for the date, so he had to take test in a car he’d only had 1 lesson in. Good luck to you all with upcoming tests. Little tip, my son swore me to secrecy to not tell ANYONE when his test was, it really took the pressure off. Ps, the tests have changed a lot since my day 😅.

Brilliant to watch you drive Jess!! All the best for your test!!

5:41 Is coasting for short periods a fault? 8:37 There is a right turn there. You can see the right arrow on the road. 19:03 I was driving there today and I swear I saw that exact same lorry I think at the same place 22:49 What should you do?

@oneanywhere8561

10 ай бұрын

First and foremost, I am a US driver with 40 years of experience. While my knowledge of the UK traffic code is minimal, my experience and technical expertise are applicable. 5:41 Coasting is not about duration. While coasting on a horizontal road creates no danger, the pupil was coasting downhill. This can become dangerous for many known reasons. However, due to her ignorance of technical details, which is quite common in the UK, she was clueless. All she had to do was let the clutch up regardless of the gear engaged. Instead, she shifted into third gear and kept the clutch down. To my mind, that is a serious fault as such driving might lead to detrimental consequences under different circumstances. Of course, that's not her fault but her instructor's, who was negligent and failed to iron out this kink. 8:37 No, this is not a right turn. The road makes a right curve.

Well done, thanks

I have my test on Monday.. fingers crossed.. West Wickham

Her mirrors and obs are great

Got mine booked here in oct

An intresting thing in Sweden is that you must give way to busses if they indicate to turn into the road from a bus stop, there was a moment in the begining where the buss indicated to turn away from the bus stop and Jess did go on the rightside as the bus was signaling. In Sweden below 30 mph (around 50km/h) you have to give way to the bus. This in Sweden could result in potentially a serious fault, depending on how harsh you judge. Any rules about that in UK? Curious to know.

@DrivingSchoolTV

2 жыл бұрын

So cool! Thanks for the insight from Sweden!! It actually does say in the uk Highway Code that you should give way to buses if it’s safe to do so! It’s not very well enforced over here though because no one wants to sit behind a slow bus that keeps stopping 🤦‍♂️

@DrivingSchoolTV

You should always be aiming to keep a safe distance from parked cars for the speed that you’re doing. Around 2M at 20 mph. When a car is oncoming you’d get closer but slow down too. It’s fine to drive in the middle if it’s a particularly narrow road
