Driving Test What Is Undue Hesitation

Undue Hesitation is one of the most feared driving test faults, but many learner drivers do not fully understand what the DSA examiner actually considers to be undue hesitation, some thinking that it has to do with how long you spend at a junction, and for that very reason go on to commit serious faults. In this video I explain what the examiner is looking for when it comes to junctions, and the difference between 'Making Progess' and 'Undue Hesitation' I would advice anyone taking their driving...

To Pass Driving Test Highway Code Knowledge Required

You can dramatically increase your chances of passing the UK practical driving test on a motorcycle or in a car if you are 100% familiar with the Highway Code . It only costs £2.50, is very small so you can carry it anywhere you go, but it contains tons of information on how you are expected to behave while driving in the UK, the meaning of road signs and markings, but most of all it could help you avoid commiting a serious driving test fault and thus pass at your next attempt. Over the years I ...

Driving Test Mistake Misleading Signals

A simple driving test mistake that a lot of learner drivers fail on is misleading signals which usually occurs when a candidate fails to cancel the indicator after use, or indicates in one director and the vehicle does not go that way. This instructional video taken during an actual lesson illustrates the point: Works as much as possible on these small mistakes, as they could let you down when the dsa examiner is in the car. If you require high quality affordable driving lessons from a very help...

Dangerous Driving Will Get You In Accident!

If you have already passed the driving test , don't think you can throw the highway code rule book out of the car window, because sooner or later you will get caught in an accident if you continue to drive dangerously on the roads. Every single day I listen to the radio traffic updates and there is always delays that are caused either on the motorway or an important A road due to car accidents which could probably have been avoided if the drivers involved had been more safety concious and not in...

Give Learners Chance If You Passed Driving Test

Is it too much to ask of you 'Advanced Drivers' to give learners a chance to gain some driving skills by being a little patient? It only takes a few seconds to be courteous, and it can go a long way to make life of other road users much easier. The most worrying thing is that you drivers who have passed the driving test are more of a danger than the learners with thier 'L' plates as shown in these videos! And here are more examples of dangerous driving by people who think they are good drivers. ...

UKADI - Crossing Solid Lines on The Driving Test.

Sometimes it is what seems like very simple mistakes that learners fail their driving test on, as is illustrated in this video clip below. The DSA examiner is assessing your knowledge of the highway code as well as your skills of handling a car, so make sure you have enough experience to deal with anything you might encounter during the 40 minutes of the test. Take the time to read the highway code between your lessons to increase your chances of passing first time. If you require high quality a...

Driving Test Dont Ignore Road Signs

This video taken from a real driving lesson illustrates why you need to build up a habit of paying attention and obeying road signs if you want to have a good chance of passing the UK driving test. As you will see, it only takes one silly mistake like this for you to get a serious fault and fail thus wasting more time and money obtaining a full pink driving licence. Take the time now to use those driving lessons to practiise everything you need to pass the UK driving test. If you require high qu...

Passed Driving Test - Dont Cause An Accident

My people think that because they have passed the tough UK DSA driving test, they no longer need to use the rules of the Highway Code when they are in their cars! This is very evident by the number of dangerous drivers that can be seen around. I listen to the radio everyday and 90% of the traffic alerts are due to accidents on the road network which could probably have been avoided especially if people stop driving like those shown in the video below. The fact that you have a number of years no ...

Driving Test 3 Point Turn mistakes

In this short video I want to show you the most common mistakes that learners make while doing the simple turn in the road (3 point) exercise during the UK driving test. Personally I think candidates should not be failing on this manuever, as it is usually the first learnt, the simplest and you should have had a lot of practise by the time you see the DSA examiner. If you require high quality affordable driving lessons from a very helpful, patient and fully qualified instructor, then why not cal...

Driving Test Turning Right at Traffic Lights

In this short video taken from a typical driving lesson, I illustrate one of the common mistakes learners make while turning right at a traffic light. As has been mentioned so many times before on this blog, junctions are the number one reason for candidates getting serious driver faults, and you need to always approach them slowly, look, assess the situation, make a decision and then act (LADA). This procedure takes some time, and you must not rush or copy other cars in front of you. Get a copy...
