In this driving video, I show you how to correctly use your indicators to alert other road users to your intentions at both mini and major roundabouts. Many learner drivers get confused as to what signal shoud be used when following the road ahead at a major multi-lane roundabout.
Another point of confusion is if the DSA examiner expects a test candidate to indicate when exiting a mini roundabout.



You always have to signal on approach if you are turning left or right, never when following the road ahead.

In this driving instructor video I teach you how to do the driving test parallel parking exercise in a toyota yaris car to the DSA standard.

While the reference points are for the yaris, they should work in other vehicles as well.

The most important thing to bear in mind is take your time, keep looking around and keep control of the car. if you make a mistake, keep practising until you get it right so that on the day of your test, your confidence is high.

There is another driving test manuever that candidates might fail on, so the video below gives you advice on how to avoid them.

Do not give the DSA examiner an excuse for failing you, be observant and keep your vehicle slow.

From the 4th of October 2010, driving test candidates will be required to drive independently for about 10 minutes using either road signs or following a series of verbal instructions (which can be backed up with a diagram) or a combination of signs and instructions.

This driving instructor video gives practical advice and tips on how to deal with this new driving test requirement.

In this short driving lesson video I want to illustrate a common reason why people fail the DSA driving test, failing to deal with a meeting traffic situation safely.

Don't rush towards on-coming vehicles especially large HGVs or buses even if you have the right of way, as they tend to use their size to barge and intimidate other road users including learners displaying 'L' plates.

This driving video highlights the forthcoming changes that the DSA will be making to the driving test in April and October 2010.

The april test change will not even be noticed by many candidates but the introduction of independent driving to the test in october 2010 is a major change that could see a drastic drop in the pass rate and could even be considered unfair since candidate will need to remember a series of instructions which could be a problem for those who might have learning difficulties.



Please note that the route used on this driving video is not an actual dsa one for the hendon or mill hill centres.

If you need extra help or want driving lessons in london to prepare for the test or practise the independent element of the assessment, then give me a call.

It would have happened to you before during driving lessons, cars very close behind you tailgating and thus you should not be surprised if it also happens when the DSA examiner is assessing you for a full British licence.

The most important thing is how do you deal these situations, without making a mistake. Hopefully in this lessons video you will find a useful tip or two, but what ever you do, make sure it is safe according to the DSA rules and not what commonly happens in the real world.

This driving video shows the importantance of using the correct signals at junctions, including knowing when to cancel a previous turning signal to avoid confusing other road drivers.

While the car driving in this video is not a learner, the effect of the mistake is clear and is a good example to take note of for the UK driving test.

You should normally try and drive around a mini roundabout, avoiding as much as possible the solid white marked area, however as this driving lesson video shows, this is not always possible and you might have to straight line it instead.

I have seen many learner drivers try to go around this particular mini-roundabout instead of driving straight across it and almost hit the kerb in the process.

The purpose of this roundabout is just to give priorty to traffic, which is why it is so small.
