Passing the Driving Test

Summary: A Viewer from Toronto
Review: I purchased this Instructional Driving DVD for my Son and couldn't believe the difference it made in his confidence. He had failed the on-road driving test twice due to nerves and was petrified about going back. He watched the video portion many times until he could do the simulated test in his sleep. I personally found the interactive written test helpful for refreshing myself on the rules of the road. Thanks for a job well done and my son thanks you for his driver's license.

Summary: Amateurish look
Review: The DVD feels like a typical 80s educational video. The narration is boring and lacks detail. A great amount, say 80 percent is shot from the driver's view, with the "supposed" tester whispering his explanation of what to do - poor acting by the way. It would have been better had they shown diagrams to help better understand the concept. I myself had difficulty with parking especially parallel; the DVD completely ignores this part of the test. The DVD was shot for the Canadian market, thus speed limits listed on the DVD is in kilo meters instead of miles. Some of the rules stated do not apply to American road rules. Overall the DVD had an amateurish feel.

Summary: New York Review -Highly Recommend
Review: Though the video was geared toward Canadian drivers and filmed in Canada, I would say that almost every rule you learn in this video applies in the United States as well. The only thing different is that the speed limit rules are in kilometers and I know that many States have not yet converted. Great and direct editing makes the video go quickly and not boring like others I have seen. Helped to build confidence and also helped in the memorizing of the rules of the road. Covers Parellel Parking and 3 point turns but there's nothing but hands-on driving that is going to help out with those. I would highly recommend it!
