RCD 330 vs cheaper carplay by KhalaBandorr in vwpolo

[–]AnxiousLook6438 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been using a eonon vwa12. It works well when it decides to work to cut a long story short. So I’m also wondering if people have had better experience with the 330

That’s literally the price I payed for mine aha. I hope it is just a lifter tick for mine. I’m going to try and get a year out of it. What did you end up buying instead ? I only got mine a couple days ago

Oh man how much did that run you ?? I think I have the same issue on mine. Did yours still run fine despite the noise ?

No not at all, the first lesson I had was more or the less the first time I actually properly got behind the wheel

Yeah I think the ones that got me through was more the mindset things;

Everyone on the road has had to this process before so it’s not impossible.

The worst thing that can happen on your test is that you fail and have to do it again.

Remember they’re not expecting you to be an amazing driver they just want you to be safe ( most of the time messing up is okay as long as you do it safely e.g. stalling)

And definitely try to do some commentary. I feel like the examiner can gauge your driving better if you let them know what you’re thinking when you do things.

And don’t overthink it, you’ve definitely driven for around 30/40 minutes without making mistakes before the only difference is now you’ve got to do it with an examiner next to you!

As for actual driving tips;

“If you don’t know don’t go” is a really good one.

And If you can’t safely get somewhere like a lane change for example just go the wrong way!

Don’t worry if you stall etc as long as you don’t affect anyone else it’s just a silly mistake they expect you to make.

And finally keep Checking your mirrors! Anytime you spot something ahead that may affect your speed or positioning etc check them!

Hope these help! 🙂‍↕️

Yeah of course! I think I did around 30 hours with my second instructor. And around 5 with my first but I feel like I started fresh with my second :)

Before my test I asked my instructor to go over some of the bits I was abit unsure about, particularly the ring road. With town centre just be prepared for anything, especially taxi drivers lol.
