Emily, if you read this, thanks for doing this! This is a great and really entertaining series because of you. It's been quite some time since I got my license and it's so much fun to see the learning curve we all have had. And many thanks to Richard for filming his work, of course, too! Really hoping we'll see all the progress till the exam.

I'm a teacher in a different field of work but I think you're an incredible teacher. I could write a lot about why but the video speaks for itself!

I wish I'd been taught by someone like you, Richard. I wasn't taught about open and closed junctions, "walking" and "jogging", etc. Even when training to be an instructor, I was still not taught about these things. Your pupils are fortunate to get someone such as you, Good luck to Emily. I'm sure she will learn quickly.

Don't worry Emily (if you look at these comments), we all make mistakes. I remember driving the wrong way up a one-way street during the lesson before my test. Scared my instructor to death; then passed the test with only 2 minor faults 😂 You're doing really well overall. Keep up the good work!

Richard, you should really consider teaming up with the BBC or another channel to produce driving safety video's to remind everyone to drive safely similar to the 'Green Cross Code man' or the Tufty Club. My British wife reminds me that her brother was a member of the Tufty Club in the 70's and 80's.

I love how you teach, all the time smiling, not yelling, everything is in happy mood,love it .

I feel so invested in Emily's journey. Looking forward to seeing her grow and develop her skills. I never realised how complex driving actually is and so many things that I take for granted after driving for many years, actually require lots of intuition and skill to do. When you explain it step by step it blows my mind what's involved.

Completly agree. It's refreshing watching another learner take the same journey as you.

Richard, your teaching is just excellent, it's a world away from when I got taught. I still like checking into your videos even after passing a few years ago and I try to watch your videos that aren't directly to do with passing the UK driving test as someone who is always looking to improve their driving after getting the pass and generally curious and interested in cars/driving. Seeing your teaching directly on actual lessons just proves more to me how much of a great driving education channel this is.

I absolutely love watching Emily's driving lessons and it's so lovely to see her improving and becoming more confident every time!

Shes doing well . Seeing improvements

I can't thank you enough for the amazing driving lesson videos you've provided. Your clear instructions and helpful tips really made a difference in my learning journey. Keep up the fantastic work, and I'll be sure to recommend your channel to others looking to become confident and skilled drivers.

These videos are so great as I can make notes of mistakes I make while driving, without the stress of driving at the same time. It is amazing to be able to reflect like this before a lesson and bring a list of things I actively want to work on!

Great to see Emily back in the driving seat! Keep rocking it sister

This video (as all your other videos!)is a gem! Thank you, Richard...and Emily for agreeing to have your session on video. I've had 15 hours of lessons, can drive now on country roads when it's nearly empty 😒 but struggle with junctions etc... add to the fact that I never had that kind of detailed instruction. Wish I lived near Colchester! Thanks again and keep up the fantastic lessons/videos!

Passed a few months back with 1 minor but loving watching these videos, found your explanation videos so helpful! Smashing it so far Emily!

I'm really enjoying these lessons with Emily. I'm learning better with her and from her mistakes. I would love to see more videos as long as it doesn't interfere with her practice regarding the cameras and the stress of filming, thank you very much ❤

Conquer is an excellent instructor. Love his style and knowledge. I am learning alot

Well done Emily, be proud of yourself it's all starting to come together. Can't wait for your next video.

you are probably one of the best if not the best teacher I saw online. I know you like what you're doing and have a passion for cars. keep doing this please, there are a lot of learner who still struggle with basic things because of poor explanation, and you can explain everything super easily. I'm here more to learn about fuel economy and optimal driving but it's always nice to see new "pilots" improve. ty for your work 🤟💪

i did my driving license in spain and i find your videos very instructive and entertaning

I got my license 2 months ago but your videos played an important role,so thank you Richard And Emily I can't wait seeing you improving and getting better and better. love you 👋

I'm really impressed with her confidence! She does have a fantastic teacher, though. I wish I had a teacher like you when I was first learning.

Hello there, I am learning to drive an automatic but I still watched your videos to get an idea on approaching junctions. Your a really great teacher and I will continue to watch your videos as I am learning. Sometimes I drive to near the curb but I have used this and some other videos to learn how to position myself better. Thank you for sharing these videos, this is what KZread is made for :)

From the US and I just wanted to say I watched so many of your videos before I bought my car. Helped me so much to understand how long to hold on the bite point. And I learnt so much about my car. Tysm!! 🎉

Best on youtube. Thank you for making these free, helping me so much to prepare for my part 3 .

Hi Richard, just wanted to say a massive thank you for all the videos you put on KZread to help us beginners learn how to drive. I can honestly say your videos helped so much more than any driving instructor I had. I passed today first time with 4 minors and I put this down to your videos very clear explanations. Keep up the good work and thank you 😁🙏

Great video Richard. Love to see Emily progressing 😊

Hey! I just wanted to thank you for your content. They've helped me a lot, I think I've learnt much more from you than I did from my instructor. I've passed my test a week ago with 1 minor fault. I'll keep watching as I want to master the things in your "Advanced driving" playlist as well. 😌

I love this thank you very much I struggle with junctions

I love how she matched her socks with her nail polish lmao. Its so interesting to see someone learn and go through all of the improvements. When i started out though, my instructor just said: “Lets get out on road!”, on the first lesson… It was definitely scary but ended up being a lot easier than i thought. Driving is fun man.

This video is extremely helpful to me right now, I’m currently at over 20+ hours of lessons with my driving test booked for November 15th but something I keep struggling at is moving off more quickly when I’m stopped/stationary at any point , only because I’m afraid If I try to move off too quickly I’ll stall but my instructor understands why I take my time to move off

@slayert0ny744

I'm also currently on my lessons with a test booked soon, something my instructor taught me because i struggled with the same thing, especially on hills, is to watch the road ahead and treat it like a prepare to move off, so biting point before you can move so that it's just a little bit more when it's time to go

@Teverell

Ай бұрын

I know this is months and months late but I just want to let you know that when I took my test, I was slow pulling away at a set of traffic lights because I thought I'd stalled and still only got a minor for it, stalling isn't an issue (nor is thinking you've done so!) unless you're downright dangerous and I doubt you're that. I hope your test went well!

I noticed at the begining Emily was very wary of speeding up before changing up to 2nd gear, but then later she got it moving to change up, you said not so fast, but that showed me she was getting confidence in her ability to control the car more, but she did really well, also the junction where she was going to do it wrong for the camera, she stopped herself at the last minute, but she showed the confidence and ability to control the car again, I think she will be a fast learner, she listens and thinks.

Loved the Mario kart guess 😆

This has been incredibly helpful for me. One of my biggest fears as a learner which has led to a lot of rushing, is that if I don’t have my clutch in as soon as I slow down; I’ll stall. (It comes from stalling on my first ever junction and being beeped at and then tailgated, although I’ve never stalled on the road since)- I first started learning in a 2005 Vauxhall Tigra which was much easier as you really could hear everything and you had to apply much more pressure to the pedals anyway, but I’ve now bought a 2023 Corsa which is much more sensitive and quiet so that fear of stalling at junctions has been super high and led to me going faster than I should. So being able to get a better gauge of how slow the car can go before the break is needed but also how slow it can go before the clutch is needed is really useful.

I've started to use the phrase 'Manage/control your speed with the footbrake.' once the clutch is down approaching junctions. It helps eliminate braking too soon. I'm converted to walking/jogging/running - thanks Richard, so much more practical than bothering the speedometer. I'm also keen on choosing your gear when you take your foot off the brake at junctions, including roundabouts. I'm pretty certain that guessing the gear is wrong at least 50% of the time. We take our foot off the brake when we've decided it's safe to go and so the car stops slowing down, except uphill. At that point, we can select the appropriate gear and slide the clutch back up to go. Obviously, if we slow to a walk at any time, it's straight into first. How many times has a pupil asked you 'What gear?' approaching an open roundabout and then continue braking? As John always says, 'If you don't know, don't go.' An undecided pupil is sat there, foot jammed on the brake. Time to assist!

Thank you for your videos Richard, passed today with a couple of minors!

I’m watching these and they are great for anything I felt I need more help after my lessons like cleared up

Just passed today thank you for your videos!!

From Australia here. I got my Manual car couple of days ago, but I can honestly have say it’s way better than driving an automatic, hands down. I’ve only had 3 hours of actually learning from a instructor, driving my workplace’s manual Hilux to get some local morning breakfast at a near by cafe & learning from work mates & friends. Manage to get home safely though, stalled couple of times now & then, shift into wrong gear, jerky up & downshifts, not getting the bite point right, ect… but overall this channel did help me manage my confidence & I’m now able to drive my GR86 Manual with little a bit of improvement. I’m still not perfect, but I’m learning everyday & I’ll continue to use this channel as a reference & improve my skills at a steady pace. Really appreciate your hard work Richard, keep it up.

0:17 "Too high, I missed this" for a split second I thought the arrow was pointing at Emily 😂

coasting is when you being cool just chilling

One of the best feelings I’ve ever had was passing my test in June first time with only 2 minors, I hope she can pass first time too

"Good to see u havent ran away" Her last video was 3 months ago 😂that aged well

Pulling away fast is essential for roundabouts and junctions my instructors car is like a rocket but my car.... well lets just say ive gotta really rev it to get it to move quick 😂😂

I thought She did well at this point 31:28 by being calm and listening to instructions because I thought that other driver was a little too agressive and dangerously speeding towards her to teach her a "lesson" all the while not signaling. That person should have put on their left signal on well in advance of the corner to show their intentions and keep their speed down. I really hate selfish drivers like this. Weldone Emily! I think you are doing really well!

It would be very helpful if you made a series with ALL lessons of a given learner. From complete beginner to passing the test. There are so many things my teacher doesnt explain and while you cover a wide variety of topics, i can't know what i don't yet know, if that makes sense.

Right now, the hardest thing about passing is not the learning curve, but getting a test slot 😂

we love emily!

A really interesting thing about any new skill being trained is how much more you progress at it by sleeping. I remember I tried to learn juggling three days in a row four hours each of those days. My record was only like catching 5 balls. The next morning I got like 50 on the first try. Basically I got the skill from processing the training in my sleep. I think many who learn to drive might get the same surprise at their next lesson if they can recall their last one

I think when you practise and regularly come back it sticks better than without having the breaks.

So true about first being jerky. At least in my Clio 😅

Good job bro🇪🇷

Nice 🎉

I don't want to sound weird, but I watched the video for pure pleasure. It may be a form of insanity, I don't care: I just enjoy listening to good instruction and coaching, and Richard is an excellent teacher. But the video wouldn't be nearly as pleasant if Emily weren't Emily. And she's so extremely likeable with her light self-criticism, light self-irony, and a bit of minxish humour, especially when she says that she's acting in front of the camera though she seems to be perfectly natural and free from any pretense. Also, she has a brilliant focus and is really sensible for somebody her age, in my opinion. A big thank you to her again for letting us watch her lesson and big congras for remaining so unperturbed by the presence of the cameras! Just one more thing. I don't know if anyone else has noticed how excellent Emily's handling of the steering wheel is, considering she's still a very novice driver. When I think of student-drivers I've seen, even those at a more advanced stage of training, images of people fumbling with the wheel in the jerky performance of the prescribed push-and-pull motion spring to my mind. Nothing of that sort when it comes to Emily! She might still get her aim and her focus on the car positioning off on occasion, but she has absolutely no trouble in putting in the steering angle she wants when she wants it, in one smooth gesture. Impressive!

I'm starting to understand why lots of people in Italy aren't great drivers :')) my teacher just made me drive up to 3rd gear on the first day

improvement 👍

"you didn't say cheerio"...priceless 😆😆

I think the easiest way to describe coasting would be when going down a hill and the vehicle is just rolling without input. Like riding a bike without peddling.

1:01:14 Maybe not as relevant in this case, but that was my concern when I was new driver reversing an artic on a bay while other lorries were waiting for me. That was holding me back until I "realized" that concentrating on the maneuver instead of them waiting will make things easier for both of us.

Hi Richard, great video as always. I'm wondering if you have any advice for young instructors, as i know you started fairly young. I'm 23 and will be applying for my pink badge at the end of October after recently passing my part 2. I'm worried that I may not be taken seriously by my pupils because of my age.
