Fancy failed her real driving test and wanted a mock driving test to see what help she needs and another opinion about her driving. There will be a follow up video coming soon where I help her with some of the faults from this test.

  1. I originally booked my driving test for June 2023 unfortunately I had to cancel it as I wasn't able to complete my driving instructors required 2 Mocks before he'd let me take a proper test, Unfortunately I go to pieces when I'm being tested, I'm also quite stressed because I'll have to retake my Theory Test in March 2024, Its not that important its just a bit of an inconvenience but that doesn't change the fact I don't want to have to do it again.

    I've been doing mock tests now for 6+ months of weekly lessons and I'm just banging my head against the wall its really damaging to what little confidence I have, I know I can drive adequately and safely, I might even say better than a lot of people on the road who've passed their test but I just can't get a break, I blame the fact I have an anxiety disorder and knowing I'm being tested makes it awful.

  2. What I have noticed on a lot of these mock driving test is the position of the hands on the steering wheel, my instructor taught me the push pull method keeping my hands 9 and 3 position. Many of these learners have their hands all over the wheel and off the wheel inbetween changing gears.

  3. OMG. I only watched the vedio no more than 20 minutes, I have realized how we learners easily and unintentionally ignore so many details if on the road. How much we have to pay more efforts to culture our ability to face the challenges coming from the dynamic environment at risks of dangers happened in less than one second, as any of such tiny details being carelessly missed out could be crucial. Skills is not enough, precision and timing are the keys to safety. Thank you so much, Richard ❤🌹 Thanks, Fancy⚘

  4. I love all your "not bad enough to be likely marked" comments because I was marked down for lots of them. Maybe the examiners are just really strict where I live, even though it's one of the worst places in the country for bad driving and licence holders with more than the limit of points still legally allowed to drive.

  5. The interview at last works well. We learners actually often know where mistake was, however, the physical operations usually is a different story from what we have learned on our mind, or even on across our mind at the spot. This vedio demonstrates how reasonable the scores & assessments is comparing to the obvious images on the screen , as well as practice always makes better and better skills. Thanks a lot, Richard ❤ Thanks, Fancy, you are fantastic 🌹

  6. Hi Richard. I passed in 2002. Would love you to assess me, to see how many bad habits I've picked up over the years. I have a C category on my licence aswell.

  7. Do you teach in the clacton-on-sea area? I noticed you are often in Colchester which is near I've seen your videos and i have found them very useful but i have also been having trouble with focus blinks in it that shouldn't be there forgetting stuff i shouldn't be forgetting
    Such as remembering to change gears

  8. Passed my test recently on my third attempt with 4 minors. Thank you Richard for the time you take to make these videos. They've been a huge help to me and I wouldn't have done it without you! To anyone else watching, you can do it! Just get enough practice in and don't second guess yourself.

  9. As someone who has now driven for well over 30 years I still learn something and enjoy watching your videos Richard. Brave students but they clearly respect the advice and instructions given.

  10. Well done Fancy👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. Brilliant videos even for someone like me who has passed their test. If I was taking lessons would definitely book Richard

  11. Just be yourself when you conduct yourself when doing your test videos please. Why you put on the ‘act,’ I don’t know; it seems ridiculous and completely unnecessary. Comes across as arrogant and rude. I like you on your standard videos, they are very good. Keep up the great work with teaching.

  12. I'm learning in automatic (getting taught in a Telsa – which is interesting!) However, the roads are the roads and safety and obsersations are number one despite the cars transmission. Thank you so much Richard for your invaluable information and videos, I gave up learning to drive 18 years ago and back at it now armed with your advice and feel more confident. Well done Fancy passing your test – happy driving 🎉❤

  13. I can't take Richard's voice (or should I say Colin's) voice seriously when he puts on slightly more 'well spoken English' as the examiner 😂😂😂😂😂

  14. i have noticed everyone drives really slow, its pretty common for people to do 60/70 km/h on main roads and 50 on residential streets. I see her sitting at like 30 ish a lot of the time
