Wow😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
This is the best channel for advice & tuition not only for learners or like me that passed years ago. As the saying goes you never stop learning. Especially as the highway code does get updated
I drive an automatic and it’s much harder I’m the sense of control. It’s much easier to speed to kinds switch off while driving, also less car choice which is anoyying.
Hello thanks for this amazing video i have been looking for... I have some worries please help me with an explanation....i drive automatic and have this challenge when descending a hill ...i brutally match the foot breaks please is there any other option i can use to slow down the speed without using footbreaks cuz it got me scared
This video might help: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pXp3qJSlppurkqQ.html 👍🏼
As someone with dyspraxia I chose automatic but the thing I struggle with is the speed limit, it’s much easier to speed and I keep getting faults on my mock for that 😅
Just remember why there are speed limits, and what could happen if you were speeding when an emergency happens. Staying under the speed limit is for everyone’s safety, not just because. Drive carefully!
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool I meant it’s easier to speed in automatic cars due to not having to change gears/progress speed etc. I’ll try and keep an eye on it and work on it tho.
My test is in a weeks time and am nervous as a wreck 🙃
Tomorrow is my first day of driving on motorway 🛣️ and I ..... No words
You can do it! 👍🏼
I've had a few instances recently where I struggle to go from 2nd to 3rd gear and end up going into 1st. I get into a panic I try and force it. I worry this will happen on the test. I also get into a panic when I am going really fast e.g having to get up to higher speeds and national speed limit.
You’re probably gripping the gear stick too tightly. The key is to guide it into gear as gently as you can - this video might help: How To Change Gear: kzread.info/dash/bejne/g6OslpOxhcrYmbQ.html
that'll dowonit
My test is gonna start today at 11:11😂😊
🤞🏼
I am afraid, I had to quit half way through as the instructor made the subject boring by not have any expression in her voice.
I like this video👌 But I would of liked to of seen you park in a tighter space than you actually did at the end, I didn't feel that was a typical size space in the real parking world. Full lock is really the only option in today's parking.
We made a separate video about that! Real-Life Parallel Parking: kzread.info/dash/bejne/kYiK0auIn5DHYbw.html 👍🏼
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool Yes I have seen that one thanks, that's still not the average size space, in real life circumstances spaces are normally alot smaller.
Those are the smallest spaces we would ever try to get into safely. If the gap is less than 1.5 x our car length then keep looking.
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool Totally understand that coming from a instructor. Just wish instructors would stop saying those are small spaces, the only people who park in those kind of spaces are instructors, the real everyday person after they have passed have to go into alot smaller spaces. Don't get me wrong this isn't aimed at you just a general thing. Still love the videos you are helping others.
Even though I’m not allowed to drive ( I’m not sure if my medical issue allows me to drive.) I always enjoy watching your video
What’s your reference point?

So when you are lining up next to the bay you intend to park in does your mirror need to be in line with the bay line?
Click the link to watch the full video - there is a more thorough explanation!
Hello! I have a question. What do you mean by level with the shoulders? I can see the third line being in line almost with the mirror then the car goes backwards and we have to stir when the second line is visible? Thank you! Apologies if this is not very clear.
'Level with your shoulders' is when the line is to the side of the car roughly in line with where we sit. So if you look directly left out of the passenger window the line should be about half way along the door, level with your shoulders. 👍🏼
This is amazing 😂😂
Tell Me Questions: Tell me how would you check if the brakes are working fine - The brake pedal should feel firm, not spongy. And also car should not pull to one side as it stops Tell me where you’d find the information for the recommended tyre pressure for this car and how tyre pressures should be checked. - I would look inside the driver’s door and check the tyre pressure information sticker then check the tyres with a pressure gauge when the tyres are cold. Compare the gauge reading to the sticker and remember to check all the four tyres and the spare tyre if fitted. Tell me how you make sure your head restraint is correctly adjusted so it provides the best protection in the event of a crash. - I would check and adjust head restraint until it is approximately levelled to the top of your head Tell me how you’d check the tyres to ensure that they have sufficient tread depth and that their general condition is safe to use on the road - I would check all four tyres all the way around using a tread depth gauge to check the central 3 quarters of the tyre. They must be at least 1.6mm to be legal. We should also check the sidewall of the tyre for damage. There should not be any cuts or bulges. Tell me how you’d check that the headlights and taillights are working. - I would turn on the car’s ignition and the instrument should light up, then turn on the dipped headlamps and check the warning lamps have illuminated. Finally, walk around the car to check the headlamps and tail lamps are working correctly. Tell me how you’d know if there was a problem with your anti-lock braking system. - I would turn on the car’s ignition and look for the yellow abs warning light if the light continues to stay lit, it indicates that there is a problem with the ABS system. Tell me how you’d check the direction indicators are working. You don’t need to exit the vehicle. - I would switch on the hazard warning lights, then walk around the car and check all the 6 indicators are working correctly. Tell me how you would check the brake lights are working on this car. - I would turn on the car’s ignition and then push and hold the brake pedal to illuminate brake lights Tell me how you’d check the power assisted steering is working before starting the journey. - The steering will feel very heavy with the engine turned off, but after starting the engine, the engine should feel much lighter. Tell me how you’d switch the rear fog light and explain when you’d use them - I would turn on the car’s ignition and then switch on the dipped headlamps. Next, switch on the rear fog lamp and check the amber warning light is lit. Fog lamps should only be used when the visibility is less than 100 meters. Tell me how you’d switch your headlights from dipped to main beam and explain how you’d know the main beam is on. - I would turn on the car’s ignition and switch on the dipped headlamps then switch on the headlamps the main beam. The blue warning light confirms the main beam is on. Tell me how you’d check that the engine has sufficient oil. - Pull the bonnet release inside the car to pop the bonnet up. Open the bonnet and secure the stay. Remove the engine oil dipstick, wipe the dipstick clean. Replace and remove the dipstick again and check the oil level against the maximum and minimum marking. Tell me how you’d check that the engine has sufficient engine coolant. - Pull the bonnet release inside the car to pop the bonnet up. Open the bonnet and secure the stay. Identify the engine coolant reservoir. Check the fluid level against the markings. Tell me how you’d check that you have a safe level of hydraulic brake fluid. - Pull the bonnet release inside the car to pop the bonnet up. Open the bonnet and secure the stay. Identify the brake fluid reservoir. Check the fluid level against the markings. Show me Questions When it’s safe to do so, can you show me how you ‘d switch on the dipped headlights? - Switch on the dipped headlamps and check the 2 green warning lights illuminate. When it’s safe to do so, can you show me how you ‘d wash and clear the front/rear windscreen? When it’s safe to do so, can you show me how you ‘d demist the front/rear windscreen? When it’s safe to do so, can you show me how you ‘d operate the horn? When it’s safe to do so, can you show me how you ‘d open the side windows?
❤❤❤ good one teaching me
You are on the wrong side of the road.
You’re funny 😉
On clip 9, the car hit the kerb, so this might be a serious fault, I believe.
I've been driving since 2009, I'm 34 years old and am always learning new things all the time on the road, you literally never stop learning. Unfortunately there are alot of drivers out there who DON'T seem to learn anything and just drive like idiots all the time. Subscribed
Wtf is my instructor teaching me, this is very easy…
Great detailed video! Nice job. What are the benefits of the back camera? I can’t decide whether or not to get both front and back or just the front facing.
I passed my test on third attempt. I had 1 major in both previous tests and no minors. I realised that the secret to not making any of the mistakes mentioned in this video is to drive slowly. If instructor asks you to perform any action then take your time and slow down first.
Thank you 🎉
Thank you for this ❤
Is it okay to go 75 on the motorway while it saying 70.
Speeding by a small amount is still speeding. The limit is there for a reason!
Pointless half the drivers pn rpad don't know highway code
Thank you
So if I use my own car, where can I get the extra rear view mirror or do they have it at the test centre?
You need to buy the mirror - any car accessory shop should have them.
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool hahaha what a bargain, right? I have to buy it instead of putting it on them. Hahaha
From Canada: Thanks for confirming what I do, when I can't exit (08:39). This results in me going all the way around again. This is why I love Roundabouts. :)
I had my test recently, and I failed sadly on the parallel park. I practiced with cars where I lined up the wing mirrors for the reference point and parked well most of the time and was confident, but on my test, the car the examiner picked to do the maneuver on was facing the opposite way so from myself so I couldn't line up the mirrors for my 1st reference point. therefore I messed up the reference points and then ended up too close to the curb before straightening up, I then tried to correct it by moving forward but I ended up putting the car back in 1st instead of reverse as I was getting nervous, this made me get too close to the car in front as I moved forward instead of back and the examiner stepped on the brakes and took control of the car essentially. I am so annoyed as I had 0 miners and just this serious fault for a stupid mistake. I feel it wasn't all my fault as the examiner did make an easily messed up maneuver even harder. I hope to pass my test for the 2nd time next month. this video is great.
In the first overtakes the driver accelerated to pass the car being overtaken and then whilst still in the overtake position and on the wrong side of the road and about to return to his own side of the road he actually changed gear. That is not an accepted practise as one should always select the appropriate gear first for the speed required and remain in that gear throughout the overtake. That's all part if I.P.S.G.A. training for advanced driving and riding.
There is nothing wrong with changing gear during an overtake if necessary. If you want to stay in one gear during the whole manoeuvre you might need to select a higher gear to avoid running into the engines rev-limiter - which would reduce initial acceleration. We would rather select the gear that gives the best acceleration, even if it means we need to change up a gear later on. Since overtakes should only be done on straight roads there should be no problem with car control when changing gear. Sometimes I have sufficient speed to complete the overtake, so then change to a higher gear to conserve fuel - rather than stay in the lower gear with excessive engine revs for longer than necessary. You are free to follow the guidelines that other organisations suggest but they are advice only - not a rule that must be obeyed.
This is the best driving video I have ever seen , very detailed and informative
Glad you liked it!
From Canada: The first thing that hit me about the Roundabout signs is that the left hand side of the sign is normally covered by vegitation as displayed at 0:11 to a very minor extent. I have seen Motorway signs that have the entire left half of the sign covered. For roundabouts I have found that the early sign indicates the large towns, while the signs at the exits in the roundabout indicate local keypoints. I love the roundabouts once I have a good idea of where to go, and know which exit to take.
Passed my test with 2 minors first time. Your videos helped me a lot. Keep up the good work and thanks <3
Excellent - well done! 🚙👌🏼😄
mmm and two foot away from kerb
I’ve been driving for 6 years and I’m still really bad at it. Everything else, fine. But I really struggle with this manoeuvre.
Last one is wow harsh for a serious
The best video on roundabout i have watched ever.
i have a test today please pray i pass as i have failed more than anyone else
Thanks for the explanation ❤
Good parking and inspiring
Clip 4, he just wanted to race bmw driver!
Excellent except owners manual for tyre pressures info in addition to door sticker as not all cars have the sticker ?
Glad I found this video, I have my test on Tuesday and I’m most anxious about bay parking
You got this! 🤞🏼
We all know why she cut to her at the end 😅
Great and helpful video
Fail test today at bay parking
Sorry to hear that. Keep practicing and better luck next try. 🤞🏼
