Driving Test Success Practical Driving Lessons DVD New Edition

This was very informative information. I felt it was short. It seemed I was watching a tutorial from the 80's and not very modern. Very formal and straight to the point. Just perfect for someone who doesn't want to be overloaded with too muhh information at once and is looking for the simple driving techniques to pass their test.

I watched this a lot on the run up to my test (which I passed!). It's a great way to keep driving skills fresh in your mind between lessons.The video can take a short time to start up because of the introduction, but the individual clips are all quite short, The exception is the mock driving test which is 40 minutes long and gives a you a good idea of what you can expect on the day.The video contains:* The cockpit drill and other procedures related to general driving.* Maneuvers of the type that you may be asked to carry out on your test.* Answers to all of the show me / tell me questions that you may be asked on your test.* A mock driving test (albeit with a driving instructor rather than a real examiner).At this price point, this DVD is great for complimenting professional tuition, but I don't think it would be enough to substitute it.

In order to save cost, I started off practising with a family member then moved on to a driving school. I bought this to use with my family member to ensure that we were doing the right things as my accompanying driver learned to drive ages ago.This DVD is really good. The videos are of an instructor explaining to a driving student who then practices the skills. It covers everything from starting to steering, manoeuvres, junctions, roundabouts etc. It's a great tool to support driving practice either with an instructor or family member. Watching the videos felt like additional lessons and I became confident that we were doing the right things. When I finally moved on to an instructor, my instructor kept asking whether I had lessons from another instructor because my driving was really good and just needed tweaks that come with on-the-road experience... :)What really let this video down was the manoeuvres part. It simply wasn't very explanatory and I found it hard to replicate. I did however find free videos online of the Learner Driving System. Their videos give fantastic clues on what to look out for when doing manoeuvres (e.g. when to steer, clues using curb position etc) so I used these and am now a witch at all manoeuvres :) The System also covers everything this DVD covers for free. However, unlike trios amazing DVD, it is a narrated video with an instructor performing actions so feels much less like a lesson.`I'd definitely recommend this as a supplement to lessons and revision tool for the days leading up to your test.

OK if a little amateur style. Could do without annoyng music in between each section.

Disk not recognised. What's up with that? I bought a new copy as well. I've got better things to do today than bully my computer into submission with dodgy software. It first tried to do things with another program (a DVD software app) which I had to delete and then simply stopped being recognised at E:/ drive. I hope my computer is still OK. Trouble trouble trouble.

Got my test first go. This gave me useful tips.

Ok

This product would be good if you’re driving in the UK but not worth it for US driver’s because of the terms used in the DVD. For example ‘roundabout’ is used for ‘3 point turn’ in the US. Other than that, I would recommend.
