Tiredness when driving can lead to serious collisions. It's important that you understand the consequences of driving tired and what you can to do help prevent it. So this episode is great for anyone learning to drive, taking a theory test or taking a driving test. 


As always, I highly recommend discussing the issues around tiredness and taking a break at the appropriate times with your driving instructor.

Passing a test after a 10 year break. - Driving Test Tales23 Jul 202100:36:35

On this first episode of Driving Test Tales, I talk with Gurjit Lali who had a 10 year gap between tests and still managed to pass her driving test.

Gurjit explains how she used to struggle with confidence and the actual skill of driving, but talks about how setting herself a hard deadline 10 years later provided her with the motivation to go again.

She also shares some great advice on how to approach driving lessons, handle the examiners and how to treat the test. Gurjit also describes how she asked to do something very unusual in the lead up to the driving test.

If you'd like to connect with Gurjit, you can find her on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gurjit.lali.7

If you'd like to appear on the show to talk about passing your driving test, or you'd like to find ot more, you can connect at the following places:

Level crossings - Theory test questions.20 Jul 202100:05:13

Need help with the theory test?

Sign up to the 5 Minute Theory training course here: https://tcdrive-learning.teachable.com/ where you'll get access to over 40 training videos to help you learn, understand and pass your theory test!

Within this episode I explore to key questions for anyone studying the theory test:


"What should you do if you break down on a level crossing?"


"What should you do if the lights keep flashing after the train has passed at a level crossing?"


These types of questions are quite common on the theory test, but they are also important to understand for driving lessons, driving tests and driving after the test. So be sure to ask your driving instructor to let you practice level crossings where possible. 




If you enjoy this show, be sure to check out our new podcast coming soon - "Driving Test Tales" where I dissect the driving test with people who have passed it, get tips on both driving lessons and driving tests.
