It would have happened to you before during driving lessons, cars very close behind you tailgating and thus you should not be surprised if it also happens when the DSA examiner is assessing you for a full British licence.
The most important thing is how do you deal these situations, without making a mistake. Hopefully in this lessons video you will find a useful tip or two, but what ever you do, make sure it is safe according to the DSA rules and not what commonly happens in the real world.

Cars driving too close behind you
Driving test effective observations
Many candidates fail their practical car driving tests due to not taking effective observations while out on the 40 minute assessment with the dsa examiner.
Even if there is nothing there, failing to consistently check the blind spots can lead to failing the driving test as it is an unsafe habit to have developed.
This driving school video shows how easy it is to forget that all important check especialy when concentrating hard on another skill which you might be having problems with.
The only way to make sure this doesn't happen to you, is to get into the habit of doing that 6 point check every time you stop on the left, or begin any of the test maneuvers.

This driving video shows the importantance of using the correct signals at junctions, including knowing when to cancel a previous turning signal to avoid confusing other road drivers.
While the car driving in this video is not a learner, the effect of the mistake is clear and is a good example to take note of for the UK driving test.

Driving Lessons - Traffic Lights
Orange means stop at the solid line before the traffic lights, and the dsa examiner will be checking to make sure you do this during the driving test.
Don't attempt to do what the driver in this driving video did, as it will mean you'll faill the driving test.
The video also gives some advice on dealing with traffic lights on fast national speed limit dual carriageways, something a lot of candidates are not comfortable with on the driving test and should be practised while on lessons with your instructor.

Driving straight across mini roundabout
You should normally try and drive around a mini roundabout, avoiding as much as possible the solid white marked area, however as this driving lesson video shows, this is not always possible and you might have to straight line it instead.
I have seen many learner drivers try to go around this particular mini-roundabout instead of driving straight across it and almost hit the kerb in the process.
The purpose of this roundabout is just to give priorty to traffic, which is why it is so small.

Driving Test Emergency Stop Video
While the emergency stop or controlled stop as the dsa examiners like to call it is not exactly a driving test maneuver, it is still an exercise that many candidates fail on during the practial car assessment, and in this driving tips video I give you advice on things you need to do when practicing the emergency stop especially for those of you not using an driving instructor while preparing for the UK practical car assessment.
In particular, the DSA examiner wants you react promptly in stopping the car while still remaining in control and avoiding skidding.

Changing Gears 2nd to 3rd Video
This Driving School Video deals with a problem some of my learner driver pupils have, being able to change gears from 2nd to 3rd gear without ending up in either 1st or 5th.
Practice the technique shown in this learner video, and you might be able to overcome this problem. This will only work in a car with a 5 speed gearbox.

Learning to drive Traffic and Road Signs
This driving school video deals with being aware of road signs and markings during your driving lessons.
While most learner drivers will notice things like speed limits, traffic lights and some road markings, there are many signs which while not giving the driver instructions, will have valuable information on them, and one of these could save you from failing the driving test. Get into the habit of taking note of signs as you go past them while out in your car practising.
