What Will Happen in your First Year of Driving!

You don’t know if they got a Gun

Learning now to control a slid is a good thing to know (I'm on my L plates in Australia) and first time I had to deal with the rear end kicking out was quite scary but exciting plus it was in a 2 tonne van and in the wet so I safety held the slid until I straightened up after the turn, same thing happened with a driving instructor and he proper shat himself 🤣

2 minutes 30 seconds to say you'll probably be in an accident in your first year driving

No wonder most Brits are overweight or obese 🙊

Who goes to McDonald's to celebrate passing your driving? Lol

So true 😊 my first car is a new 1.6 Suzuki 2018

Driving for 2 years now I’ve had 4 cars since passing I’m now driving a mk3 focus st I also drive vans all over the uk and abroad as part of my job and I’ve never hit or crashed once in thousands of miles...

My first car was and is currently a chevrolet suburban 96 v8 6.5 diesel 2.8 ton "car" so i won't stall with a few friends in the car haha also automatic :P

(I'm from the U.S.A. so excuse any currency or speeds as the only conversions I know is 100 KMH is about 60 MPH): When I gotten my first accident (which, if you were to ask the insurance company they'd be like "what accident?" since it was so minor, I didn't actually report although looking bad I was seeking a ticket with the state the vehicle was in) I was being a little fun drifting the car when I made a turn at the same time drifting, I forgot slamming on the brakes does not help you and slammed into the curb, bent the trailing control arm. I decided to foot the bill with the assistance of my parents who I told I hit black ice and slid into the curb and only had to pay $100 out of the $200 bill. Yeah, if your going to be drifting make sure you got plenty of space so you don't drift into a curb, another car, a person, a building, or a light pole. My skills have greatly improved drifting in a better space, in fact, even though the skill seems non-sense to those who haven't ever drifted before, it does help when you suddenly lose traction and the back of the car decides to slip out since very rarely do you get to practice any slide control until you slide off the road. I've avoided an accident of sliding into a ditch and destroying both of the wheels on the car still going about 35 miles per hour by at least knowing how to control the slide, although it wouldn't have saved the ghost car that was in the lane I crossed into. Rather I just got stared at and had an embarrassing situation at hand. To all the folks out there with their new licenses. Take it easy, drive carefully, if you want to have any fun try to mitigate as much risk as possible (don't speed down the highway at 125 MPH in a 65 MPH, good way to lose your license instantly and if not, your insurance). By the way, I'm still learning as if you don't count learning how to drive with parents or instructor, I only have 10 months of solo experience, outside of that it would add up to 2.5 years. Have fun guys and keep the rubber side down.


TL;DR: I drifted my car into a curb and gotten my first accident. No insurance raise since I didn't really report the accident because of how minor it was. For future teens who decide to go drifting, do it in a parking lot with plenty of space, better to spin out and just ruin some ego than drifting into a James' Subaru WRX and disabling both your car and theirs.

First car I chose was a 1.6 petrol ford focus, ended up not passing MOT due to rust issues (I was new to car buying as well). Switched it for a 1.8 TDI Ford Focus, That car is faster, has more umpf and is a monster above 2.500rpm. Can really recommend as a first car.

How can people text or sthing while driving, driving is an experience that is fun, why would you text? Wtf...

I am driving since my 8th year and i never ever had crashed or scratched a car so it doesn't have to mean

Driving a safe car=check
Slow car with 4 mates=Nope
Using phone while driving=check
No crashes=check

License had for 3 months
Car: Saab 9-5 Aero 250hp

Dont agree with how sure you are people will crash in their first year, you have 0 knowledge on other drivers and their skills, where they live and what the roads are like around the area, because you may have fucked up one day doesn’t mean anyone else will

Been driving 4 years, no crashes(by his definition) or pulled over yet. Car is still slow af with others in it, terrible at overtaking

Did a hatch parking the other day, like 1 week ago, and i accidentaly bumped very slightly onto the car in the back, and it was a slight hill. The car ended up rolling backwards, most likely due to the person not having a handbrake on/bad handbrake. Ended up speeding off, and getting the fuck out of there

When my first car wouldn't start because of dead battery, I tried to start it by letting it roll backwards and letting the clutch out in reverse. I didn't realize that the power brakes don't work when the engine is off so I crashed into a tree :D it was only a small bump so I wouldn't really call it a crash, however last winter I was driving on a road fully covered with snow for the first time, went too fast into a corner and flew through the oncoming lane into a pile of snow on the side of the road. If that pile wasn't there, the car would be in a tree and totaled. A kind man pulled me out of the snow and the car suffered no damage whatsoever. Learned my lesson though :D So that happened in my first year of driving

scraped the underside of my front bumper the first week I had my car after passing my test.

My first car is going to be a volvo c30 1.6d or 2.0d i have already started saving for it. I am going to get a dash cam at the same time as the car.

I absolutely adore this guy. Whatever he described is so accurate. I bought my car six months ago and just after 1 month I actually hit it with another car(Bumper came off) and once I put my car in a drain at the side of the road. But hey, you learn from your mistakes right ? These things can demotivate new drivers like us but trust me these things teach us so much. I wish you a happy and safe driving folks :)

No.1 Rule of driving; PRESUME EVERY OTHER DRIVER IS RETARDED. (Quite often right)

I was able to drive the car well for a day and when I went home, I slowly park however due to anxiety of many cars lining up while waiting for me to park, I bumped the car due to a tight parking space. 😥😭. Seeing the scratch at the side of the car is so annoying, anyone who can suggest how to fix it?😓

Just passed my British driving test at 36 after 19 years

I am not going to have nothing happening to me in my first year...nothing

my first car, i bought a few days ago, seat 1.2 tsi ibiza 2016 :) . dob1991

What will happen in the last year of your life?

When you passed your test you went to mc ds did you pick up 14year olds also I've been driving since 2012 never had a crash or went to mc ds my first car was a focus st 170 only change it to corsa 1.4 VX-line for cheaper tax

Cant relate I went straight to the german motorway and drove on the other side straight after passing mine haha

I'm coming back to this video to say haha I had a crash in 3 months of driving I'm still on the road dont worry 2 much if u have a crash just make sure it isnt 2 bad by driving safely

Me I hit a wall reverse damn 😆

There was a point when I watched this video and was laughing saying I'd never crash..... Guess what happened xD

It was my first time on snow, a month ago. And I was doing exactly that to prevent it from happening, I tried getting into a skid on a big parking lot and try to correct the slide... but on my way out, the road was too narrow and I ended up in a tiny ditch... the damage was minimal and no one got hurt, but yeah, helps you realize you can't just "hope i wont run into that car even though I'm going straight at it" and then miss it.

all my friends refuse to eat mcdonalds so i never got to do the iconic lad trip to mcdonalds and to this day it still upsets me.
one thing i did do, however, which was about two months after getting my car, was crash the passenger door into a post in a multi-story car park.

Mines is 1.4. But I am older so my insurance is cheaper than a younger person. It pulls really good with people in. But I would get very irritated with a 1l car. In fact I am amazed that they make renualt capure in 1l. I delt with parking rage as a new driver. I slightly under steered. And reversed at the post by the barrier this guy came whizzing round as I reversed the space he was trying to get into was about 1meter no joke. He was so rude. But it didn't help him when he came out his car and he saw a black woman who could hold her own. He stepped back when I opened the door. He was impatient his car was battered so it was obvious he had driving issues.

I've only been driving a month crashed 2 and half weeks in🥴 fixed her now

I'm skint but ipassed yeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaa

I’m hoping to get a 1.9 litre diesel Ibiza

the first thing i did was spin my van round in the snow but no crash, then my first crash 7 years in

u basterd i realy wanted to see that crash

This is why I get insurance coz damn other driver can be so noisy even if its their fault

Finally managed to book a driving test after all this difficulty with Covid. hopefully it goes ahead and I pass. Will be re watching these videos to help me

I crashed my Vauxhall Adam into my house gate 😂

2 years in, no crashes. Well I mean my dad crashed my car into his car, but he caved in his door and mine got away with a tiny scratch. Bit of touch-up paint and no problem.

Don't use your phone in the first year. Even hands free. Don't use it. Pull over, stop turn the car off and use the phone.

They are a big distraction. Focus on driving. For the difference in insurance premiums with or without a crash in the first year you could buy a couple of new iPhones by the time your premiums drop again.

You must of been a really bad well under experienced driver to stall the car with passengers. Never happened to me and I drove a 90hp car

My first road rage incident was when someone was going 20 in a 45 and frequently breaking in the slightest curve of the road. Then as we rounded the corner to the stop light they just stopped in the part where you pick which lane. They just came to a dead stop in the middle of it then after 2 seconds decided to turn right. Finally I get to the stop light with them to the side of me I put my finger up and look over. AND I SEE A 100 YEAR OLD GRANDMA IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT. Nitrogen mask on, squinting her eyes to make a right on red. There comes a point when you need to stop driving and this is the point. This person was a danger to herself and everyone around her.

I Live in Switzerland🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🚘🚘🚘🚘

Have had my License for a little more than a Year.

Dind't have any Crashes till now.

Have Covered a Distance of Just 6.000Mi.

Best thing to do in your first year is do an advanced driving test or do some advanced driver training. Passed the Diamond in my first year and joined the Rospa in my second year. About to take the Rospa test soon. Do some driving commentaries as well always very good to pick up on hazards before they come a problem

It took me a month to get confident after my test. If you're scared to drive after your test, just drive round your town, the quiet roads until you're ready. And slowly move outwards.

My 1st trip in my own car was very scary, I even forgot my seatbelt lol. I also had no way to place my phone for navigation and I was in a completely new to me part of a city. Had to check navigation during traffic light stops.
Nice tips, rly. As for the 1st car, thats why I got myself 16yo Subaru Outback, that 2.5l engine has enough power to merge safely even if you misscalc a bit. Even with friends. And half the house worth of goodies))) Love that trunk. Just today I had to aggressively slow 100 km/h to 60 km/h on a highway cause some guy decided to jump into a main lane from a junction ignoring the acceleration lane and the right of way too (sorry if I mess up the terms in English). Good thing I had no trucks behind me...
About road rage and agression. It depends on country rules, but here in Russia pepper spray is the way to go. Its totally safe for both you and the opponent, yet removes any will to fight. However, don't use them against a driver while he is riding. It may cause crash.
Dashcams are a must. The ones with high angle and rear view cam.

bla bla bla safe bla bla bla

I know one thing you don't have to worry about in your first year. Having any money in the bank.
