hi everyone and welcome to this video where we're going to take a look at why
driving instructor pass rates mean very little I'm gonna give you ten good
reasons why you shouldn't trust them and I'm gonna leave you with a little riddle
to think about at the end a little puzzle which will get you thinking about
why instructors with the highest pass rates they're not necessarily the best
instructors number one is that driving instructors can choose which results
recorded and which ones are not recorded so the way it works is when an examiner
gets in a car to do a driving test they pick up the instructors badge which
looks like that the green badge means you fully qualified I've read of a pink
badge means you're not fully qualified you're still training and the examiner
will write down the number on the back of the badge and then when the test
result is recorded it gets allocated to your badge number and that's how
instructors build up a pass rate. Now the problem is you don't have to have
this badge on display during a test if you're giving paid tuition you need to
have it on display but if it's a driving test you can just take it out so that's
the way the instructors can fiddle it if you take your people for a test and you
don't think the pupils very good if they don't have a very high chance of passing
you just take your badge add the car and the result of the file won't be recorded
if you get it people is really good and he's very likely to pass you can leave
your badge in the car and the result is recorded and you get a pass but all
those fails are not being recorded so there you go straight away from just
reason one alone we've still got nine reasons to go yet and reason one alone
is why the whole system doesn't work because you can simply take your badge
out if you choose to. Now I'm proud to say I've never once done my badge has
always been in the car for every test I've ever done but some instructors do
do that they just had a badge a and if ever you've done a driving test you've
noticed your instructors badge is missing
that means your instructor thinks you're gonna fail so a good tip for you now in
your driving test have a look at the bottom left corner with a windscreen
where it should be well the tax disc used to be and if
the badges in there they probably think you're gonna fail now you only must have
your badge on display for paid tuition but a driving test isn't
not paid tuition when my car was stolen just over a year ago they also stole
everything inside my car my badge and I phoned up the devious eye and they said
to me remember you can't be paid tuition unless you've got a badge on display so
for a few days I couldn't charge for lessons it's not the same of a tester
you can do a test without having your badge in the car because it's not paid
tuition even though the people may be having your time in your car it's not
classed as paid tuition so that's the main reason why pass rates mean nothing
because simply as instructors we can fiddle them if we choose to number to
pass rates don't tell you how long the instructor has been teaching for let's
imagine you've got an instructor who's brand-new and they've done one test and
add one pass they've got a hundred percent pass rate now I've been teaching
for fifteen years I've probably done of strana working out before this video
I've done somewhere around seven to eight hundred driving tests maybe I've
done a thousand I don't know so of course my pass rate it's going to be
lower because I've done so many tests I've been doing it for years and years
and years so if you compare my pass right to a brand-new instructor he's got
a hundred percent you might think that I instructor with a hundred percent is
better but they're not because they've only done one test goodbye to the
hundreds that I've done would you rather learn with someone who's done one test
or some leads to an 800 that's up to you it's not fair to cross all instructors
as the same when some of us have been doing it for years and years and years
and our pass rates are bound to be lower simply because of the sheer number of
tests that we've done number three every area is different if you work in
an area like ID like Birmingham the past writers sent us here and this is the
official test underpass right when I monitor how many people are passing or
failing regardless of whether the badges in the car Warnock in Birmingham at the
moment it's around 30% which is low Birmingham is a very hard place to drive
it's a very busy city lots of road rage lots of stress not crazy drivers are
you'll know if you watch my videos it's harder to pass in Birmingham that
somewhere like for example in Scotland where it's very quiet and rural
there's hardly any traffic it's very open the roads are simply easier in some
areas than others now it's very hard to compare to
instructors pass right so and one of them is working in a busy city law
Birmingham and the other one is working in the countryside because one
instructor obviously works in a much easier area I have covered the city
centre can you imagine what it's like covering city centres our Birmingham
that takes a lot more skill than it does to teach in a rural area where there's
nothing but fields an open countryside and the only hazard you're gonna come
across he's a sheep called Colin he likes to walk across the road in front
of you sometimes so there you go it depends on the area that you're in
mister that can affect your past right quite severely number four automatic
cars some instructors have a higher pass rate because I simply do testing
automatic cars and of course it's easier to drive an automatic because you Dan
had the whole thing about gears clutch stalling is rarely a problem you can
stall automatics I did it myself once but it's quite hard to do and so yeah if
you take your test in an automatic car when you get instructors do automatic
instructors that's what we call them they're not actually automated
themselves but we call them automatic instructors you can have a high pass
rate generally because you're making it easier for people to pass number five is
the car that you choose to use so some instructors have cars like this one this
is a very advanced car yes it's a Ford Fiesta don't before by the name it's
very advanced I've got things on here like a button you can press press that
you won't let you go over the speed limit so you can press the gas down and
you won't let your speed I've got cruise control you can press
that button on that and the car does the speed for you you just cruise is it a
set speed you don't have to press the gas this is an advanced car yes but
those are features now that more and more cars are having when I'm talking
about some instructors use things like cars with electronic hand brakes
you see I've still got an old-fashioned hand like you have to pull up and down
some cars have a button you just press the button on/off and you can even do it
for you so it's not fair to comparing different instructors when we all use
different cars if you've got really Vance top-of-the-range car you cannot
pass this because some cars for example there were certain cars out there when
you change gear you can lift the clutch as badly as you want but you know how
normally goes bang and shakes around this car will bang and shake around some
cars don't do that because there'll automatically they electronically
monitor how fast you lift in the clutch its we call an electronic clutch and if
you're doing a question correctly it takes over and does it for you so you
got nice smooth connection on the clutch how nice would that be so that people
could change badly like that they've been the clutch up and you would never
bounce around be lovely to have a car like that but I don't know because I
can't afford one but because I choose to teach in a car that will banged around
so that peoples know what's going to happen if they did that in their own car
because most pupils are not going to pass and go and buy a fancy car it's got
that kind of system number six these instructors that teach people to pass
the test now I've mentioned this many times in videos before some instructors
not many but some just teach people how to pass the test and if he was can pass
a test but then I don't know how to drive
now I've never done that I've always focused on how to drive not passing a
test so I could type people's eye and I could say when you get to this Junction
do this and the examiners watching for this or practice the same junctions over
and over and over again and then when that people pass these thinking out big
problems because all I've done is learn how to drive a specific route to a
junction so yeah you can teach people how to pass the test and get a higher
pass right but the thing is those pupils are going to be having big problems
after the past so I've never done that and if you teach properly you will
generally have a lower pulse right because you're not just teaching people
the same routes and the same roads more people might fail the test which is a
shame but at least they're driving better they may not be doing that
particular Junction better they might be failing but they can drive better
overall and that to me is much more important than just passing a test and
then having in a crash because you didn't actually know what you were doing
on other junctions number seven is a test only shows that people's ability
not the instructors let's say for example
I tell people for a test that I haven't taught to drive this has happened many
times when I've had instructors who are friends and a real although going on the
holiday and I said I've got a test next week can you take them for me they'll
say yeah I'll take him for the test so I tied them on the test they pass and I
get a pass it goes on my pass rates and I get a good pass and I haven't even
told them because it's showing the other instructors ability it's shown in Steve
pupils ability it's not showing my ability so just because you pass through
an instructor doesn't mean you learn with them it any means you're dealing
well not that the instructors doing well number eight is a you might be surprised
to learn that some driving instructors rarely ever do driving tests at all I
knew an instructor once he would only teach people to turn left turn right and
then as soon as I got to stage where they wanted to do roundabouts and cross
roads they just let them go and I asked them why they did that and I
said I just don't feel comfortable driving a bank so I'll keep getting lost
now don't know where I am and a finding really hard to do those lessons and I
also find that quite bizarre but it's instructor taught for many years she
trained people to drive doing left turns right turns me even off and as soon as
they were getting to a decent level she'd get rid of them which i farm
bizarre not because she was about instructor she was a very good
instructor but she rarely ever took people on tests I think she said she
only did about two tests a year so her posture is going to be really high
because he's only doing two tests so yeah conveyed to me I would do about a
30 to 40 test for number nine is that Sun driving instructors actually quid
the pass rights of their driving school not of themselves so they might say you
know people ask you what's your pacifier and I say 85% and that's actually the
schools pass right because maybe they take a handful of their instructors look
at their pass right and I put out forward as their overall pass right
which of course means nothing because he cherry-pick the best instructors and the
best passes and then you ignore all the other instructors who aren't
contributing their pass rights it means nothing
so always check that you're checking the instructors pass right not the school's
pass right number ten is the most obvious one of them all but
it's quite sad say some instructors just lie they seem to lie about the past
right they just say my pass rates 95% and
that's it there's no proof there's no evidence they just make it up and I've
had times when pupils have said to me on the first lesson what she passed right
and I'll say 100% and I say really I'll say yeah no one's ever found even though
ever in 15 years never had to fail and they'll say yeah of course I'm joking
you know you can make it up how do people's no pupils haven't got a clue
how can I tell what the pass rate is and there are many rules I dated protection
acts and whenever which currently stopped people some being able to see
what an instructor's pass rate is now those things may be changing soon but
for all the reasons I've given you in this video but don't recommend you take
any notice of pass rights whatsoever the main one is of course number one the
fact that we as instructors we can fiddle the past rights by simply
removing our badge that alone is a good enough reason to not take any notice of
past rights but I had this videos giving you a quick insight into why you should
never trust driving instructor pass rates high so I just got home after
filming that video and it realized whoops I forgot to film the puzzle the
riddle that I told you about so here we go this is all about choosing the best
person for the job and how people can easily be fooled so
imagine you've just moved to a new town you want to get a haircut like mine you
on this classic you know expensive haircut I've got here you want the best
curb you can get say go and visit the time center and you find out there were
only two hairdressers in the whole of the area so you go to the first one and
his hair is amazing it looks brilliant there's a cut that you want that's what
you want to look like you go and visit the second hairdresser and his hair is a
real mess it's terrible it looks awful any things one would have wanted up like
that which one of those hairdressers would you have a haircut from and why if
you can choose the correct one and why they're better let me know in the
comments below and the answer will be written in the description at the very
bottom of the description so thanks for watching and I'll see you again soon for
