I passed this morning!! Second time, six minors. Your videos helped so much Francis, thank you !
Some things that helped me: 1) Get a good night's sleep and an early night 2) Rescue Remedy – no idea what's in that stuff but it reduced my anxiety massively. 3) Don't focus on the Perfect Drive, focus on the Safest Drive. 4) If you feel comfortable, make small talk with your examiner. It breaks the tension. 5) Consider looking over theory test questions. It's all revision!! 6) Take your time, don't rush. The "Late for work but there's a police car following you" is the perfect analogy 7) I told only my nearest and dearest when I had a test book. It reduced the pressure.
I passed my driving test on Friday! 🎉 Thanks to all your tips, tricks and words of wisdom. I watched this video right before my test and felt ready to go😊🔥
I’ll be forever grateful for your engaging, fun content over the past year. It’s built my confidence behind the wheel so much!🎉🤸♀️
Was watching this last night before my test this morning (24/2/26) a really helpful video I have to say and I passed finally…After several failed attempts.
That bit when you said you should feel exhausted after a test I can definitely relate but some really good advice… The speak to yourself "say what you see" I have never done that in all my previous attempts.
You are going to be nervous that's a fact BUT it shouldn't hinder your performance if you've received enough training. The nerves will eventually go after a while.
Today is the 18th March 2026, and I’m SO PROUD to say I passed in Uxbridge with 3 minors😭🥳✨!!!!! My instructor told me I had actually had the hardest route so he was really impressed I passed with only 3 minors.
To anyone taking your test: YOU CAN DO IT!!!! When Francis says “the lessons are much harder than the test”..BELIEVE him, It really did only feel like 15 minutes! Your examiner wants you to pass so tell him or her that you’re nervous and they will do everything you can to feel comfortable! Mine was a lovely man!
(My test was at 11.11am so it feels like it was meant to be😭)
Francis, I can’t thank you enough, because this video was infact the last video I watched the day before my test!)🥳🥳🥳
CHEERS TO NEVER HAVING TO PAY FOR DRIVING LESSONS/TESTS AGAIN AND DRIVING SAFELY WHEREVER I PLEASE!!!!!🥹🥹🥹🥹🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳✨✨✨
I have my test tomorrow and I am so so nervous. I really hope I pass. I’ve been having lessons for awhile now and I really enjoy it. I just want to pass so so much! I love the positive thinking strategy where you ‘see driving as exciting because you love driving’. This is such a brilliant way to look at my test.
I’ve created a playlist of all my favourite driving videos on YouTube. That way I can re-watch those videos before my test, and not introduce any new information. 😊
thank you so much!!!!! I've been watching your videos – finally passed – 5th try – with only one fault – you broke it all down so very well. I also finally found a fantastic driving teacher. and had a lovely examiner this time – very nice chatty young woman. Made all the difference.

You got this!!
I have my test at 11 21 second attempt just need to handle the nerves
best question to ask egzaminer?
"so…. what do you do for living?"
I failed my first test but determined to pass second time and it only took me a couple of weeks of checking cancellations to get another slot
My test is tomorrow 😂😂😂

I've got one tomorrow 😭, I'm sooo stressed about it.
I passed my test today at West Wickham . Thank you Francis for your helpful videos. I need to give you a hug. God bless you
This is really good advice. "The nerves you feel might just be excitement coming out in a different way". Interesting

My test is tomorrow and I’m nervous because of previous failure
