you only do 20 minutes of independent driving with a satnav why do they call it independent driving if you’re actually using a satnav it’s not independent the satnav is telling you where to go independent driving would be just right here’s a car go and drive about for a bit choose where we anyway independent driving is where the SAT or following road signs you only do it for 20 minutes yard turn left then you have reached your destination you only do it for about 20 minutes and then 10 minutes The Examiner is going to direct you in total the driving test is only about 30 minutes of actual driving yeah they say 38 to 40 minutes but maneuver wasting time um stopping on the left loads of times wasting time you’ve got to do an eyesight check show me tell me questions signing the examiner’s iPad form loads of things wasting time it’s about 30 minutes of driving in total so the driving test isn’t very long at all it’s basically an episode of Simpsons and done

Well said. If you feel nervous about the test, think like what he said. It will get easier. That how I dealt with my test nerves
Not all will use a satnav, I didn’t have a satnav I was told to follow road signs
What happend if your stuck in traffic for half an hour? 😂
Thank you this makes me feel a little better
Can someone help me please I got 49/50 in my test but I failed the hazard perception test do u have to click 3 times in the video or once
Can you do a video explaining what you do for an extended driving test ?
Do they not follow the road signs anymore? Satnavs were a thing when I did but but they weren't part of the test so I just assumed they'd do 10 minutes on a satnav and 10 following road signs or something
Greenford!
I went the wrong way on my independent drive before sat nav’s and didn’t get marked down.. they judged my driving not how well I could follow directions 😅(at least my assessor did😂)
Cheers mate, now I’m going to be mentally watching a Simpsons episode on my test 🫠😂
I failed my first attempt today with 1 serious and 5 minors, all due to just nervousness and examinor , how many are here like me ? Any solution
I was genuinely surprised how quick my test went.
Passed my test yesterday mate and your videos helped me out massively so thank you!
I was lucky and got road signs. Only had to follow 2 it was great
Would I fail if I miss a sign when following signs?
Why is it called satnav? Everyone calls it GPS
Failed my test today 2 mins before the end, I had 1 minor the whole test. Absolutely heartbroken 😢
Why be nervous over 30 minutes? lessons are double or more, definitely makes it easier to swallow
I passed my test. I found you very helpful, funny and practical 😁
I have my driving test this morning am looking forward to it but am nervous to but confident. Am hopeful I will pass 1st time I passed my theory first time and that’s harder than the driving test I have everything crossed 🤞🤞
I failed yesterday for going to slow 26 in a 30
Your videos really do help, it’s clear for one to understand ❤
I passed my test on the 20th of August, 2025. Thank you for your videos. It helped me do much
Easiest test about
This way of putting it will help me a lot
I hate driving with satnav tho
An episode of Simpsons 😂
Its definitely worth practicing with a sat nav before your test, i managed to pass with 0 minors on the 25th of September. My examiner left the sat nav on the entire time only giving me instructions when i needed to perform a manoeuvre.
Fucking mine was 46 mint in last 2 minutes she failed on harsh break
I’ve got my test next week. To help my nerves a bit I’ve been telling myself that the whole thing is shorter than one lesson. It has helped quite a lot.
well that’s changed
Rule changes made from 24th November
First time I've heard someone use The Simpsons as a measure of time
