But what if most of that is actually wrong?

In this video, I’m joined by Jason — a former UK driving examiner — to show you what examiners are really looking for on test day, and what actually makes the difference between a pass and a fail

We take a real test-style drive around one of the toughest areas possible and break down decisions in real time, with Jason explaining exactly how faults are marked, what counts as hesitation, and why so many popular driving test “rules” are complete myths.

We cover:
🚗 What examiners actually care about during a driving test
⚠️ The biggest test myths (mirror timing, signalling, handbrake, crossing hands)
🔍 How minors really work — and how people fail with 16 driving faults
🛑 When hesitation is a fault… and when it’s the correct decision
🔄 What happens if you go the wrong way on test
🧠 How examiners decide whether something is safe or dangerous
🚦 What “pull up on the left in a safe place” really means
❓ Whether examiners are allowed to trick or “entrap” you (spoiler: they’re not)

Jason also explains:
✔️ Why there is no quota for failing learners
✔️ How signalling is judged — and when you don’t need to signal at all
✔️ What help you can and can’t ask an examiner for
✔️ The truth about mirror checks and “six second rules”
✔️ How to choose a great driving instructor
✔️ Why mock tests actually help — and how they should be done properly

If you’ve got a driving test coming up, failed before, or you’re confused by conflicting advice from instructors, TikTok and YouTube, this video will completely change how you think about the driving test.

This is real advice from someone who actually did the job.
