5 Things You Don’t Understand About Driving Fast

I am from the world of helping people pass there driving tests. One of the hardest things to understand is when you should make progress(drive faster) and when you need to slow down. In this video, I explain five things learners commonly misunderstand about driving fast and choosing the correct speed on a driving test. You’ll learn: Why your brain needs to stay ahead of the car How early preparation prevents panic What gears are actually used for Why confidence means control, not speed Why a speed limit is a maximum, not a target How space, visibility, bends and parked cars should affect your speed The examiner does not expect you to drive quickly everywhere. They want you to make safe progress when the road is clear and adjust early when the situation changes. Use it to check whether you’re ready for your driving test, identify areas that need work and complete your own mock driving test.
