I see this multiple times a day, drivers that drive too close, can't stay in the lines break the speed limit in 20,30s etc and then can't make progress in the NSL (national speed limit) single-carriageway

Good luck to everyone with a driving test this week in Swindon.

Feeling nervous? That is completely normal : even the best drivers get butterflies before their test. Here are a few simple tips to help you keep calm and drive confidently:

Breathe : Take 3 deep breaths before you pull away. It sounds simple, but it works.
Stay hydrated : Bring water to sip while you wait.
Arrive early : Give yourself time to settle in and familiarise yourself with the car.
Distract yourself : Listen to the radio or a podcast on the way to the test centre, not last-minute fact-cramming.
Talk it out : Chat with your instructor on the way there. A relaxed conversation can take the edge off.

Remember: your examiner wants to pass you. They are not looking for perfection : they are looking for safe, confident driving.

You have put the hours in. Trust your training. You have got this.

🚗 The Best Drivers Don't Stick to the Plan... They Change It.

One of the biggest differences I see between an average driver and an advanced driver isn't car control.

It's planning.

And even more importantly...

It's being prepared to change the plan.

As an ADI and advanced driver, I'm constantly asking myself:

➡️ What if that pedestrian steps out?
➡️ What if that car doesn't stop?
➡️ What if the road ahead changes?

A good driver doesn't simply follow the route they imagined. They adapt to the situation in front of them.

That's exactly what driving examiners are looking for too.

Passing your driving test isn't about driving perfectly. It's about showing that you can:

✅ Plan well ahead.
✅ Anticipate what others might do.
✅ Adapt safely when things don't go as expected.

The best drive is rarely the one that goes exactly to plan.

It's the one where the driver recognises the change early and calmly makes a better plan.

Remember:

Plan. Anticipate. Adapt.

Those three skills will make you a safer driver for life—and greatly increase your chances of passing your driving test.

Why Good Positioning Matters (For You AND Everyone Else on the Road)

When you position your vehicle poorly at a junction, you don't just make things harder for yourself—you create a bottleneck and a hazard for everyone else on the road.

In today's video, we are looking at a real-life example of exactly how I use defensive driving and space management to handle a poorly positioned car.

---

📐 WHY ROAD POSITIONING MATTERS

Watch how the driver ahead fails to apply Highway Code Rule 179, which states that when preparing to turn right, you should take up a position just left of the middle of the road to leave room for other vehicles to pass on the left. Instead, they've positioned in a way that blocks the entire lane, preventing anyone else from clearing the junction.

Because I was actively reading the road and predicting their movement, I didn't get squeezed. By keeping my lateral space buffer completely clear, I gave myself a built-in escape route. This allowed me to smoothly guide my car around their poor positioning without any drama, keeping the flow of traffic moving safely.

When you learn to position correctly, you make the road a safer, more efficient place for everybody.

💡 THE DEFENSIVE DRIVING FORMULA:

* Keep a 360-degree space bubble around your vehicle.
* Look ahead and anticipate where other drivers might get stuck.
* Apply your MSPSGLADA routine early so you have time to react.
* Never squeeze into tight spots where your escape route is blocked.

Does it frustrate you when a single poorly positioned car blocks a massive queue of traffic? Let me know in the comments below! 👇
