Been told. If speed limit is 50mph? Stick at 47mph to give 3mph get out incase of? Would you get marked down for being below speed limit? Any advice?

Hi what is a blocker??
Nice videos and very professional.
Hi buddy 👋 hope you are well keep doing a fine job you are awesome.phil still not passed hoping to start training again soon Phil 👍 take care and good luck for the future Phil 👍🍀🇬🇧
Thanks for the video. I have a question. Ive seeen other videos in which they talk about a mini roundabout. They all say that when going across a mini roundabout that you have to atempt/show that you drive around it by "slighty" stearing around it. If that makes sence. Could you explain a little more about mini roundabouts please.
Got my drivers license at 15 got into trucks at 18, 54 now about 4,000,000 kms under my belt only one accident i was pulling out of a side st and a car tried to undertake me my 2nd trailer went over the bonnet of his car, cab was already going straight on the road i was turning onto had no chance of seeing him, was probably doing 20km/h when i felt trailer grab him. 24 metres 54 tonne, good times.
I would really like you to tell me what you think about this test rout and its level of difficulty 1 to 10, and compare it with the difficulty level of other, more common routes. Kind regards Kamil.
Wow, this was almost my route to class 2. I was there for the first time in my life more than half way. totterhoe, kesnworth, wipsnade zoo never been here. I hooked the 16:10 curb in the video. my road changed from 37:45 turn right. I continued straight through the center of Dunstable. It's a pity, but I lacked experience, 3 days of driving Hgv maximum of 10 hours on road experience. It's a pity that I missed this video before the exam, greetings to instructor John;) the route is really picturesque, but difficult. You are great Patryk, greetings ;)
Hi Patrick. First of all, thank you very much for your work and your videos are great and very helpful. I followed many test routes, unfortunately today I failed the exam on a route unknown to me. I slightly hit the curb at the mini roundabout in the village of TOTTERNHOE, then the route ran towards Wipsnade Zoo and finally I found myself just before Dunstable where I drove through the entire city center. what do you think about this route combination? I'll find it in one of your videos?. Thank you very much once again, best regards, Kamil.
@@90ratownik Hi Kamil We have done mock test and published here on that test route, it’s one of the test routes that isn’t used too much due to village complaints
Thanks for the answer, I find that route hard for myself as I was there first time. Totterhoe quite thight, route to wipsnade zoo and I forgot about one more village I was passing through Kensworth. On the end of the road turned left for A5183. Today I retraced the entire route in my car and yesterday I wrote badly about hitting the curb. It was the mini roundabout in west dunstable at the end of totterhoe road before bp station and the road to the zoo. All the best Patrick.
15 hour retest pack? Damn i only had 12 hours for my whole experience 4 of those was reversing 😂
@@almightythor6089 feeeling for you man, hope you get a good run on the next one 💪🏻
@retroschoolofmotoring1261 thanks bud gonna give it my best shot! In watching your vids for tips
On my test I failed for straddling lanes on roundabout said there was no need too. This guy is doing it on every single roundabout
@@almightythor6089 depending on the roundabout, big lanes you would, coming to the motorway etc
@retroschoolofmotoring1261 could you do one covering this as in as if it was a test? The round abouts were large ones so 3 lanes ones however I did exactly as you did and I I obstructed a car passing me I failed. My current instructors are in it for the money not the actual helping of passing you I feel. So far I've had a total of 12 hours this was 4 hours of reversing lol
I'm struggling I think of keeping trailer in the lane I need as in turning basically. Although I felt it was fine ofc in real life as you have you would straddle for safety of yourself and others but ofc in test it's all about keeping you spending money 😂
@@almightythor6089 seems like more practice needed🆗
Same here
Thank you.
You are welcome
Good drive well explained thanks👍🏾
Thank you
Went left in middle lane???
In the test centre 10mph perfect ❤
This channel is very informative
Very helpful thanks
Avoid this guy for the class 2 he is after your cash nothing else
Out of interest, how many days/hours into the course was this pupil as they really looked to be struggling? Thanks
this was very helpful. Thanks
W UK jak nie zdasz za pierwszym razem to znaczy że nie powinieneś jeździć ciężarówką wcale .
What does you pass guarantee cover. Give more details.
Contact me on 07572159012 Thank you
I passed there after 3dr attempt😂
Would splitting and blocking lanes at the roundabouts when the lane you need is a suitable size for an HGV not be classed as blocking in general and be a fail?
That was really good
Milton Keynes?
Yeah
I’m in the middle of training my c+e and the roundabouts are so busy there never seems a good time to pull out seems like every car has to slow down on the roundabout as there’s not enough time for me to get out of the way how do I get out and not fail my test if it seems impossible to pull out 🤷🏼♂️
Are you looking for blockers?
@@retroschoolofmotoring1261 I am but it seems to be they going to fast and cars going to fast off junctions after the two blockers and catch up to my trailer
@@thomasyoung1753 normally with two blockers and good timing you should just be able to make it, hopefully you can yourself ok with this soon, let me know if you have same problem after more training and will do something to get it sorted
Check the inside mirror, can be a bicycle 🚲 Drive safe.
Wow nice sir
Bloody Milton Keynes! Always replacing the off side tyres. Tf i don't deliver there anymore!
That's near me lol
Failed 3 times , I watched your videos, follow your advices and I passed straight away, thank you .
Great, I’m super happy for you and also that videos helping you! Spread the word and drive safe🤙🏻
Good video. Can you do a video on how to spot & avoid low bridges. I know there are road signs which show bridges ahead & their heights but what if I miss the sign?
good advice sir.
Your amazing going to very tide roads really teaching a lot of
Thank you, drive safe🤙🏻
Such great videos these. Great positivity and makes the viewer excited to learn. Got my first ever course in a few weeks( never driven an HGV before)..doing a traditional route and trying class 2 first.
Is it best to straddle 2 lines on most roundabouts to make space, unless it's a big roundabout and easy to go around it without having to use much space
I’d say straddle only if you have to. Wide roads, dual carriageways etc, you don’t need to unless you are blocking off one of the lanes to make it safer for other road users, this comes with a bit of practice and at some point you will know where to do and when is not necessary. Towns and city centres are where most likely you will split but again not always, Drive safe🤙🏻
@@retroschoolofmotoring1261 thank you
How much do you charge for a 15 hour retest? I’ve passed but got no confidence
In the section where the cars moved on to the pavement to give you space, even though there was enough room, would the examiner fail for that or let it go, because you didn't actually physically cause them to move?
They have had enough space, it was their choice - it wouldn’t be a fail Drive safe🤙🏻
the mirrors on the video like this is actually so good
Nice one. I like that you show both mirrors because I can pretend to be driving that truck complete with a pretend steering wheel. Its amazing how real it feels.
Awesome, thank you man. Drive safe🤙🏻
I am coming soon in uk and i will contact to you sir. I am a hgv driver in nepal. I want to lesson uk rule and regulation.
Let me know when you come here and we will ba able to help out Thank you
I am coming1month letter and i contact you. Thank you sir.
The key is to control your nerves and have some confidence my class 1 test was the only test I did this in and I got 0 minors, in my car test I got 6 minors I was nervous, in my Bus test I was really nervous and got 9 and was shocked I even passed. Nerves will cause you to behave irrational try not to be nervous. Done 3 test + 1 resit for my car license. Control those nerves people you can do it just don't let nerves hamper your efforts.
How long is your trailer in meters?
very good learning from your video Patrick . You are covering everything to drive hgv. Please make some videos on reversing as well Thank you.
