VIDEOS TO WATCH
BETWEEN LESSONS
These are the videos I send my pupils. The DVSA ones show how the tests work. The skills videos are from Conquer Driving, a UK instructor who explains things clearly.
HOW TO USE THIS
Watch the video for whatever we covered in your last lesson. If it still doesn’t make sense, ask me about it in your next lesson.
THE TESTS
Made by the DVSA, who run the tests.
THEORY TEST
What happens on the day, from checking in to getting your result.
HAZARD PERCEPTION
How the clips are scored, and why clicking all the time gets you nothing.
THE DRIVING TEST
The whole practical test from start to finish, filmed in a real car.
“TELL ME” QUESTIONS
The questions you’ll be asked before you set off.
“SHOW ME” QUESTIONS
The ones you’ll be asked to do while you’re driving.
HOW TESTS ARE MARKED
What counts as a minor, serious or dangerous fault.
SKILLS
Grouped in the same order as the Road help page. All from Conquer Driving unless it says DVSA.
01 MOVING OFF
CLUTCH CONTROL
Finding the biting point and holding it. Worth watching before your first lesson.
STALLING (DVSA)
Stalling on your test isn’t an automatic fail, as long as you deal with it safely.

APPROACHING JUNCTIONS
Mirrors, speed and where to look as you come up to a junction.
TURNING RIGHT
Turning right into side roads and at crossroads.
03 ROUNDABOUTS
ROUNDABOUTS
Which lane to use, when to signal and when to go.
MINI ROUNDABOUTS
People often get the priority wrong on these.
04 MANOEUVRES

Reference points for lining up and reversing in.
REVERSE BAY PARKING
Using your mirrors to get it straight between the lines.
