Yes! We made it! Today is the final part of the UK driving test video series. You will now see every single fault the student made during her test and the final scoring sheet.
That’s it. We’re done here. Our next video series will be different, yet still educational. Our recommended guides are still recommended, and we urge you to take a look at them if you want to avoid these faults during your test.
Have a great week!
This one is going to be quick: today is the final part of the UK driving test (but not the final part of the video). The test is finally over, but you’ll have to wait until next week to watch the results and score sheet.
You can’t wait, can you? Just seven more days and we’ll all know what’s going on there.
The fourth part of the UK driving test series is already here! Time goes by quickly, and so will your driving test (they don’t take that long). Try not to panic when she turns into the “wrong” lane.
Once again, we invite you to look at our guides and recommendations, even if you’re not British. We’re quite experienced and know what to offer.
The UK driving test series continues today, so watch carefully. Also, if you live in a right-side driving country, how weird is it to watch these videos? Some of our staff thinks it’s almost scary.
If you’re having a hard time watching this, don’t worry: there are also videos of driving tests on the right side, and you can be sure they’ll be here.
A week has already gone by, and it’s time to show the next part of the UK driving test video. Enjoy!
Thank LDC once again for this video series. As usual, our recommendations still stand.
Starting today, and for the next five weeks, we’re going to publish a video series of a UK driving test. These videos come from a company which teaches people how to drive, and we think it’s great. No, we’re not affiliated with them.
Each week we’ll post another video by them, so in the end you’ll have a full picture of the UK driving test and what you are expected to do when taking it.
Thank you for these videos, see you next week!

A driver preparing for the British driving test
Driving tests, much like schools, have not changed much since they were introduced. You still need to follow a series of directions, given by the instructor, and prove that you are not a risk. Even with the rigidity of government agencies, it seems like the British driving test is about to face some changes. One major change could be navigating using an application rather than by road signs.
In today’s world, many people follow directions from a satellite navigation system, such as Waze. These systems make navigation extremely easy and almost render road signs obsolete. Following road sings is an important skill, but it’s much more important to use any resource available to get to your destination. Testing drivers on their ability to use a navigation system prepares them to the real world.
Other than satellite navigation, the new test has more planned changes. One of them is reversing into and out of parking bays instead of corners. This change sounds reasonable, since parking bays are much more common. Vehicle safety is another addition, and it’s always a good topic to emphasize. Too many people know how to move the car, but don’t know how to do so safely.
The major change for the self-driving part, besides the usage of satellite navigation, is the time. Until now, drivers had to drive on their own, using road signs, for ten minutes. When these changes take place, drivers will have to drive for 20 minutes on their own. Although they won’t have to follow road signs, driving for so long is a breeding ground for mistakes. Hopefully the scoring chart will change as well to reflect these changes.
All in all, it seems like these changes will be positive. UK drivers will probably be better prepared to real-world driving than others, which is always good news.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
