Passed my test this week with 2 minors. The test is so much easier than you build up in your head, just imagine you’re giving someone a lift, and they’re giving you directions. Good luck all!
That's great news! Congratulations on passing!
Congratulations! I’m so scared about having my test in a couple of months 😞
@@katherine4145I am sure you'll do great! Try not to overthink it and instead believe you will succeed :). I've got mine tomorrow and I'm hoping for the best!
i have my test tomorrow so thank u for this :)
@@sqb_how did it go?
I've got my test in like 16hours, your videos have been so helpful Update: I PASSED Update: I just passed my PCV driving test as well.
Good luck mate, I'm sure you'll smash it! Edit: Nice one! Welcome to the club
Congratulations! Enjoy your new found freedom.
nice one brother
Got my test in 19 hours, and I agree that these videos are very helpful
@@realityirabor638 did you pass ?
Who else is pulling a red-eye trying to cram the last little bit on the night before the test but finding themselves hopelessly hypnotised by his glorious socks?
😂😂😂😂😂😂it's stressful
Broo, I'm literally doing that right now. Revision the night before the test.
@@FinnersBinnerssame here! 😂 did you pass?
@enis7018 Unfortunately not. I did well with the test, but I accidentally buggered the parallel parking. But hopefully next time I'll get it.
@@FinnersBinners Could be worse, you could have run a red light like I did 🤣 (I could have stopped on a yellow but didn't so the examiner shouted stop at the last second and I skidded to a halt in the middle of a box junction lol)
Thanks! Hi Richard, the amount i am sending is all i can afford but it’s far tooooo less in comparison to HOW MUCH i have learned from you. Your content and the way you speak is like you are reading pupils mind and addressing those concern exactly and to the point. I have consumed enormous amount of your content for not just passing the test but to be an overall good and considerate driver on the UK roads. I wish you loads and loads of success and happiness in your life. i wish you the best and my heartfelt thanks to you.
That's really kind of you and it's fantastic to hear that you find the videos helpful! Thank you for your generosity and I hope you continue to find the videos interesting.
suga got moneyyyy
I have my test in a couple of weeks, I actually can't even tell you how many times I have watched this video - I would love to do a mock test with you Richard
Passed my driving test today watched your videos regularly which I didn’t do in last 2 attempts Passed on 3rd attempt One of the most happy days of my life
That's really great to hear! Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
Just passed my test first time today with 3 minors. Your videos have been a great help on this journey! Thank you!
That's fantastic news! Congratulations on passing!
How many hour driving lessons did you take and hour many would you recommend ?
@@jupiter0587 there is no set amount everyone is different just get as many as it takes until your ready
OMG 3 MINORS RETAKE THE TEST NOW!!!!
Just passed today 0 faults, second attempt! Thanks a lot for the great content you put out, really helped me on my journey to getting my license! :)
That's fantastic news! Congratulations on passing!
Unlucky with your first attempt.
Looking back now and how worried I was about doing lessons and passing my test it was actually quite easy tbh, getting past clutch control and learning round abouts it’s all pretty much straight forward, thanks to your videos anyway, good luck to who ever is worried or to do their test !
Yep once you pass and get more experience you think what the hell was I even worrying about
How long did it take for you to pick up stuff like clutch control? I've only just started learning and have barely any seat time so am just wondering how long I should be expecting.
@@neblolthecarnerd it's different for everyone but I think I got a lot more comfortable after about 5-10 hours ? Can't remember the exact moment per se. But having said that my driving only got a lot smoother after passing. My advice is don't overthink it and learn the basics of what the clutch actually does. Richard (this channel) has a good video on it. Knowing what the clutch does actually helped me when driving myself
@@TheUwaisPatel I've got upshifts and slow speed control down fine. Just have to smoothen out my downshifts and stop rushing or being too slow at certain things. I just need more time really probably. Thanks for the advice.
@@neblolthecarnerd downshifts are tough to stay smooth, just make sure you don't change down at too high of a speed and don't bring the clutch up too fast or it'll jerk. Bring it up slow and you can hold it at the biting point for a bit to allow for the car to match the revs. But yh like you said just need more time and it'll come to you.
As someone with bad anxiety especially with the unknown this was a great video thank you!
I have multiple mental health issues and I'm on a waiting list for an autism evaluation so my brain doesn't always make the connections that other people do automatically. I really appreciate the detailed and clear instructions :)
I appreciate you taking the time to watch the videos. I hope they help, thank you.
I came back to say that I have watched your videos and I passed my test on Thursday, first attempt with only two minors. It’s really a hug achievement for me as I am not from the UK and this is my first ever driving license! Thank you for your videos.
Well done 🎉
Just passed my test Yesterday with 3 minors. Just want to say thanks for all these helpful videos. Still going to watch as part of the passed club and learn from them along the way. Been hard for me since losing my dad 2years ago. Used Inheritance money for lessons cause that's what he told me to do as I seen him slip away in my arms! Going to make you proud love you dad ❤️ Now I have freedom again and can go anywhere 😊
That's a sad but nice story to hear. Congratulations on passing!
@ConquerDriving Thank you so much! And thank you for all these helpful video :)
Mannn that’s messed up
He would be proud of you smiling
@UltimateD755 Thanks alot man that really means alot :)
I have taken my test 3 times before, once during covid and failed within minutes of the test and the last 2 spaced between 2 months and failed with the minors getting high and the serious/dangerous getting low. I was very anxious in my tests and would always fumble when I knew I can drive and do it well! So when it came to my 4th test, I watched this and the 'show me, tell me' videos a few hours before my test and I PASSED with NO MINORS. It is about having a positive mind space and truly being safe guys. Don't get put off if you don't pass first time, you'll appreciate it more when you pass later. Good luck guys and thanks for your vids!!
I've held an American driving licence for 16 years but have been working on getting my UK licence. Watched through all of the Conquer Driving videos to help practice, did not use an instructor but drove with a licensed driver while practising. Just passed today with 2 minors! These are great videos, very helpful and clear--really helped to prep for the test.
Congratulations on passing!
@@ConquerDrivingI failed mine today, 2 serious faults and 12 minors😭
Don't drive in US on the left side of the road
Hi Richard, thanks a ton for making these videos!! These are of great help for anybody who's preparing for the test.
Thank you Richard ! Your videos are always so useful 👍🏻
Thank you Richard ! Your explanation is really clear and easy to understand 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Have my exam next friday. Thank you for your videos! I’ll come with my update!❤️
i have my driving test at the end of next month. i have anxiety and im absolutely terrified but your videos and my instructor have been so great. im really grateful for what you do, thank youso much for making these videos!
Good luck man, just try your best try not to pressure yourself too much so anxiety doesn’t take over. If you pass amazing if not rebook and try again. You’ll get it sooner or later 👍
@@Jack66527 thanks man i rlly appreciate it. i just gotta try my best, thats all i can do 👍
Good luck with your test!
@@ConquerDriving thank you!! 🙏
Anxiety will go away as soon as the day comes. I found that the examinator was the one having anxiety 😂, i just ignored him.
Mate, I get so many tips that Work from you! Passed my theory yesterday because of your tips. Thank you
Thank you very much. All of the questions that I have been answered not only in this video but in your other videos.
Your videos are so great honestly because of watching your videos and your advice and doing through out my lessons I passed my driving test today thank you so much 🙏
Thank you Conquer Driving, this video has been very useful for my upcoming driving test.
Passed my test recently. Even though I had no chance to practice with the Conquer Driving, the videos on this channel helped a lot. Thank you for the great job recording and sharing these.
Going to have my test at the end of Jan 2023. I'm kinda confident enough, just have to practice some maneuvers. Your vids are super helpful! Thank you :)
Been studying your videos closely and I passed with 3 minors. Your mindset and advice has given me that extra push to help me pass my test and do what I feel is right. Had several moments where I simply corrected myself or made my own path to preserve road safety instead of panicking and doing what the examiner told me to do!
Seriously you are the best of the best, great service to the learner driving community. Please keep it up
I passed my driving test, and while my instructor was decent i learned a lot from you, like smoothly stopping or more important things like anticipation while driving, even after having my driving license i will continue watching your videos because they further improves my driving skills :D
I passed my driving test this morning. I watched the video yesterday night.🎉
Thank you so so much! You helped me A LOT to learn how to drive! Especially at the beginning! All those videos from the very very beginning from scratch’ - I was watching learned so well - thanks to you! You are doing a marvelous job! Great instructor and a wonderful friend to all the learners! God bless you!💖💗
Hey Richard, as a brit who is currently living in Berlin (and never got around to learning to drive in the UK), I am super grateful for all of your extremely informative videos. Of course, not all the road rules and norms are the same here (quite a few are pretty different), but your videos have still helped me immensely in feeling comfortable with the art of driving manual. I passed today on my second attempt, and I can certainly attribute a ton of the credit to your videos! They're sure to continue benefitting me as I learned on a diesel, and I know petrols control a bit differently. Thank you!
Thank you Richard 🌟 you are an amazing teacher ,love watching these 💯👌
I passed start of this year January, it took me a good six months to gain the confidence alone, a lot better now but I’m still new so I can get ahead of myself or too compliant, also my first mot is coming up in a week, I have checked fluid levels, tyres and bulbs so just keeping fingers crossed now, back when I was a learner your videos where amazing!
Your videos are really helpful. I passed my test today and I plan to still continue watching to perfect my driving skills.
Probably get this alot but i Absolutley love this channel, the information and the way the content is delivered is just outstanding. I dont feel like im watching a Driving Instuctor whos got a youtube channel. Its more like its an episode of Top Gear but for learner drivers.
Thanks. I love that you are super clear at explaining things 😊
Just wanted to say, Richard, your videos have really helped me. Watched this one in particular the day before my test and put it into practice. Managed to pass with 0 faults, thanks, at least in part, to your advice and guidance. Thank you
Just passed my test a couple hours ago. 11 minors, which is more than I hoped but 3 of those were for separation distance in wet weather which was a bit tricky since it was very heavy traffic! Richard your videos have been an immense help, a damn sight more than my actual instructor. Thanks for what you do!
I’ve got my test next week- I’m nervous but just want to get going. These videos are so helpful!
Passed my test yesterday, its was one of the best feelings ever! been watching your videos for the past 2 months, you helped a lot thank pal, keep it up!
My test is in 2 hours and your videos have relaxed my nerves more than any instructor I've had!
I passed my test in August this year but am still gonna watch this video, can never stop learning 👍🚘
As a older ( 45) learner I watch your videos alot. I take my test in a couple of months and will be watching your videos more . They have been really useful to me so I can take information in with our being in the car.
Got my test tomorrow. The mindset currently is all I can do is my best! Thanks for all the help
Just passed my test few hours ago with only two minors. Many thanks to you for all your beautiful videos. Notwithstanding that I just discovered it lately but it helped me a lot today. Up until my last practice lesson last week, I was still confused at round abouts but I got hold of your videos and I'm even surprised at myself today. Thank you so much❤❤❤
THANK YOU 🙏 YOUR VIDEOS HELPED ME TO PASS MY EXAM 🎉🎉🎉 feeling relaxed on the motorway, parking with confidence 😊 YOU ARE GREAT 👍
That detail you said about you signalling to join traffic and getting a serious really spooked me.
Hi Richard, Just wanted to say thank you so much! I passed my driving test today on my first try with only 3 minors! Your videos are what I watch when I need help. You explain everything so clearly, and they've been super helpful. I'll definitely keep watching your videos!
I have my test in 8 weeks and I've watched most of you're videos, they are very informative and very helpful. They have relaxed my nerves a little bit, thankyou
I passed my driving test today with 4 minors. When I’m practicing with my instructor I had been watching these videos and got more knowledge and used it when I’m practicing. You’re really brilliant!!!. If someone has their test soon, don’t be panic, try to watch all of these videos you can easily pass the test. Don’t be panic at test time, try to talk with examiner what are you doing, why are you slowing down and be a positive mind every time.Thank you so much,I really appreciate your support.
I watched your videos on recommendation by my instructor and I’ve just passed my test with no minors- your videos were super helpful!
Thank you for your videos I just passed my driving test, it was my third attempt but I felt a lot more confident this time around
Great timing with the upload, I'm about to start my driving learning journey :D
I watched this video the night before my test and it showed me just how much I do know! Safe to say I passed my test today 🎉
Ivw gor my test in an hour ! Trying to stay calm. Thanks for your videos, they have been really helpful in the lead up to this test :)
Thanks for your videos & guidelines Richard.
I just passed this morning! your videos by far have been the most helpful (and entertaining) that I've seen on youtube.
That's fantastic to hear! Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
I passed first time today with 1 minor! I really didn’t think I’d pass as I only had 4 hours with a driving instructor but a combination of your videos and lots of practice here I am! Thank you so much.
congrats!
That's fantastic news! Congratulations on passing!
nice one!
I passed my test third time today with 1 minor after 4 years of lessons. Your video helped me so much along the way so thank you 🙏🏼
That's really great to hear! Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
4 years 💀
nah thats spongebob levels
Passed last week & this video really did help. Very much appreciate the time you put into this video :)
That's great to hear! Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
I've got my driver's license 🪪I'm coming back to say thank you so much. Continuing to watch your videos has been a huge help to me while I'm learning to drive, thank you very much again.
Hi Richard! I passed my exam today (not in the UK) and I want to thank you for all the videos, all the helpful advice, everything. You’ve been more helpful through the videos than my instructor in real life. Thank you!
That's fantastic to hear! Congratulations on passing!
Just got back from my 4th test, please don't give up like I nearly did this morning before my test at 8am. Once i got going and chatting all my nerves settled down. Thanks so much for these videos as well!!!!
It sounds like you passed? If so, congratulations!
Cheers mate. You deal with driving so nicely
Passed my driving test this morning and your videos helped a ton! Thanks a bunch mate.
That's great news! Congratulations on passing!
Nice how the video is 40mins and basically serves an indicator of how the test looks like for the learner
Thanks so much for your videos Richard they helped me pass first time today despite icy roads. Watched ur pull up on the right vid this morning and got it as my maneouvre Cheers
That's fantastic news! Congratulations on passing!
Even though I’m a qualified driver, this is still incredibly insightful!
Richard you are an absolute legend. Just passed today 2nd attempt with 6 minors. Mid test I almost gave up knowing I've done some mistakes but in reality was just silly things and the examiner said that was good driving safe and steady. And you were right, the examiners are also people on the job, he was a lovely chap and we had all sorts of conversation topics. Again I wouldn't have passed without the knowledge and tips from your videos so thank you.😁
Would be interesting if you could get a person who already has a driving licence for a good few years and do a mock test on them to see if they'd pass today 😉
I passed in 1995, I’d probably fail if I took it tomorrow😢!
Perfect timing i have one week. I already drove much better today, especially with calmer anxiety due to having better control, from watching these videos the past week. The main thing was slowing down and not feding the clutch when i did so. 5 miles an hour is perfect when I'm expecting to possibly stop. Great approach to junctions. I used to struggle with 20mph. At approach as it was still too fast. The main thing im not worried about the people behind me as much.
These videos are very helpful, I have my test in a weeks time , anyone who reads this I wish you good luck in yours and believe in yourself 💪🏻
I literally slept on all your videos and I'm glad to inform you I just passed my test (manual) today
I passed my test today with 3 minors, watched a lot of your videos that really helped!!
Passed my test first time this weekend and just wanted to thank you as I definitely wouldn't have without your videos! I'll continue to watch your videos as there's always more to learn!
That's really great to hear, congratulations on passing!
nice one will
Love how you chose to upload this super informative vid an hour after I passed my driving exam with 5 minors. Your videos have been a huge help though :)
The video may have been a bit late for you but you still did it anyway. Congratulations on passing!
This really helped calm my nerves for my test at the end of the month i don’t feel like 100% ready but I still hope I can do it 🤞
Just started watching your video I'm glad I did you make perfect sense and explain things very easily thankyou
I'm really happy today, I got my driver's license delivered to my mail. I had my driving test twice and failed both time because I get super anxious! And I will love to share my steps and tips with y'all. Try to focus on increasing your confidence levels. First, if you absolutely cannot control your anxiety like I, taking a few deep breaths usually helps in relaxing. Whether that helps or not, I HIGHLY recommend watching KZhead videos of road test recorded using a dashcam or you pay a professional dmv attorney that can walk you through the process of skipping the test drive to get your license. Are you worried of failing, Are you worried of being in the vehicle with a stranger? Combo of both? Something else? paying an attorney to do that work is just the best way to overcome your worries and get your license like I do. Remember "Practice makes Perfect." ............and there's nothing to worry about if you did it well on your own! mments William Tillman
Bro thank you! Your advice is top quality!
Just passed my test, your videos have been so helpful throughout, much appreciated
That's fantastic news! Congratulations on passing!
@@ConquerDriving Thanks!
Once again Richard, thanks for the amazing video. They have been such a help to me. I've recently just got a cancellation for a couple days time, and hopefully all goes well. 2nd time around after I failed the first time for just following distance (maintaining a 3 sec gap, on a moist road) I was (and slightly still am) quite disappointed and upset about it but I know that I'll pass the test eventually. Been driving for almost a year as a learner (thanks to how long these test backlogs are) and just want to pass. Your videos have been a great help and have helped improve my skills such as what to do observations wise during manoeuvres etc.
It's great to hear that the videos are helping, good luck with your upcoming test!
I failed first time late November due to hesitation at roundabouts and I was also disappointed! I’ve got a cancellation in a few days as well but in a different town so I’m feeling quite nervous too! I hope you pass!
@@ConquerDriving hi there, just want to give a huge thank you for all your help with these videos. Passed this morning with no minors 🥳
Passed my test today with three minors. I recommend to view this video few times a week before the test. Thank you Richard!❤
Hoping to get my manual license for a job after driving automatic for 15 years. Tests in general just freak me out, I over thought my tests 15 years ago too. I have 2 driving lessons coming up but feel like these videos have taught me as much as you can without being in a car. I need to keep in mind I can always do the test again if I fail.
Passed today first time. your videos helped me so much during my early driving lessons and helping settle my nerves. Just thought I’d leave a thank you message for you.
That's really great to hear! Congratulations on passing!
This video is pure gold, gonna watch it every day for the rest of my life, or until I pass test, whichever comes first.
Stay positive.
test tomorrow morning and have been binging your videos like crazy the past week!! you were the first online instructor I found when I started learning and you helped me immensely with my anxiety and nerves around driving so thank you!!
How did it go? 💜
@@nicole_gemmell passed with 2 minors!!
Just passed my test today! Thanks for all your videos, they helped me a lot. I’ll be sure to continue watching them to help me in future 😊

I passed today at Hendon test centre in London on the 3rd attempt in manual. I watched hours of Richards video from the start and can say Richards videos helped a lot. His video on getting into the right mindset helped a lot. Dont try to go in wanting to pass. Enjoy the ride.
That's really great to hear! Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!

Thanks a lot mate ..you are one of the best... My online instructor .... I passed my test today first time with 3 minors ... your videos really did help me . I was nervous and anxious , somehow did it .Practice made me perfect as usual. Many thanks for your videos ... All the best to all new drivers ...

Just here to say thanks so much for your videos. Passed my driving test first time today.
That's fantastic news! Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
My test is in January and I have a handful of lessons left, anxious is an understatement haha this has given me reassurance in knowing what to expect during the test and what they’re looking out for!
Good luck in January!
