Hi and welcome to another show with Swan and Soto - in this episode we discuss getting old and how to not sing Happ Birthday (the normal rubbish and banter we always do!)
In this episode, we also chat about botox - why I wear sunglasses in the winter and looking much younger than I actually am! We also chat about theory test struggles and how to pass your theory test.
How a learner driver struggled to pass his theory test. He kept failing the questions by 3-4 marks. The hazard perception part was fine, however - after a few attempts, he was passing the theory questions but not the hazard perception test. He became so familiar with where the hazards were he was clicking the mouse toe early!
Is it possible to become too familiar with hazard perception clips on multiple clips?
James interview
Do the DVSA recycle their hazard perception clips? Wait to find out...
Soto is collecting L plates on his car and wants to be more visible!
Do people actually talk about failing a test online! Why? We all celebrate passes (rightly so) but, fails - it is a learning curve!
Failed his test a test for not stopping at the 'wait here' sign at roadworks traffic lights.
Soto had a 'passer' on his 4th attempt - now can get on with his life! We all have failed and passes!
Let's talk about the 'pheasant fail' - how a pupil did an emergency stop for a pheasant!
Highway code states you MUST have your hands on the steering wheel at all times! Unless stationary in traffic! Soto's pupil believes he failed already and then goes onto fail for taking his hands off the wheel!
We discuss our test fails in detail! Especially no entry signs on country lanes! Not making progress on country lanes and how my student diverted his direction due to not liking a road!
We also chat about driving examiner's language on the driving test and how you can fail for the show me tell me questions!
"When it safe to do so, can you show me how you would..."
People do ask: Can you fail for the show me tell me questions?" Technically no, but the one on the move you could!
Practice adjusting the lights, the fog lights, the demisters and of course the washer wipers when on your driving lessons so that you can become familiar with using them on the move!
Soto's pupil asks about a 'no overtaking roadsign' believing that the pupil thought red cars can't overtake black cars!
Some of the things that we have coming up!
- Prank calls
- Intensive courses
- Lot more blogging and pictures
See you next week! Thanks for supporting us!
