Passed Driving Test - Dont Cause An Accident

UK Driving School Podcast ·

2013/04/12

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

UK Driving School Podcast ·

2013/04/11

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

Driving Test Turning Right at Traffic Lights

UK Driving School Podcast ·

2013/04/10

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

Private car on the UK driving test

UK Driving School Podcast ·

2013/03/22

Further to my last blog post about a learner driver who was stopped from taking the driving test due to a defect on their own car being used for the UK practical test, I thought I'd point out what an examiner will check on all cars presented for the UK driving test. The dsa examiner needs to be satisfied that the car presented is roadworthy, so will walk round the vehicle, checking the tyres are legal, lights are not broken and working, external mirrors are present and not broken, and the

DSA Driving Examiner Strikes Wed 20th March 2013

UK Driving School Podcast ·

2013/03/17

If you have a practical car, motorcycle or HGV/LGV driving test booked for Wednesday 20th March 2013, the DSA is advising all candidates to attend as normal, despite the threat of examiners striking due to industrial action by the Public and Commercial Services (PCS) union. If the driving test doesn't go ahead as normal, then I will advice any test candidate to seek compensation from the DSA, even though you will get a free rebooking within 10 days of the last appointment. Because you can't be

The Driving Test 5 facts you might not know.

UK Driving School Podcast ·

2013/03/10

On the UK Driving test, the examiners do want you to pass, and will do everything to help you relax during the DVSA driving test. Here are a few facts about the driving test that you might not know which you should bear in mind on the day. 1. You don't have to talk if you don't want to. If you think that talking to the examiner will not help your concentration during the driving test, politely let the examiner know that you'd prefer if they didn't make conversation with you during the test. 2

DSA Test Maneuvers - Adjust your Mirrors

UK Driving School Podcast ·

2013/03/01

Before starting any of the 4 driving test maneuvers that you might be asked to do by the dsa test examiner, it is okay to adjust your mirrors to help you see more easily the bay parking lines or the kerb for the reverse round the corner exercise. Just remember to put them back to the position for normal driving immediately you complete the maneuver before moving off again. Now because you are allowed to adjust your mirrors while performing a practical car test maneuver, it is important that you

5 Driving Test Passes this Week

UK Driving School Podcast ·

2013/02/20

This week I've had 5 out of 6 driving test passes with my learner drivers, 3 of which where first time passes. The complete learners having had an average of 35 hours driving lessons to reach test standard. I'm not saying that they are now very good drivers and will be able to handle everything that they will encounter on the roads, in fact I have advised each and everyone of them to consider taking a pass plus course, but they can now start to gain experience on their own. The key advice I can

Driving Examiners are out to trick you!

UK Driving School Podcast ·

2013/02/19

As a learner driver preparing for the the UK driving test, you've probably heard somewhere that the DSA driving examiners are not interested in passing you, that instead they would even go as far a tricking you into failing by getting you into various situations that would cause you to make a serious driving error. First of all, let me say that as a driving instructor, most test candidates do not give the practical car assessment the due credit it deserves. The DSA test is a very high quality and
