Had my test today, passed 1st time with two faults. I’m not from Cardington or Bedford, just didn’t want to wait ages for a test slot and that center had an opening. Found the course to be very straightforward, nothing too tricky. Richards was my examiner and he was lovely. Kept me calm and was a very fair examiner
Had M. as my examinor. She failed me for impeding traffic behind me which is not true. As soon as the test was done and she informed me I didn't pass and why. I nicely asked her to get out of my car. I should've left her in Beford with some money to catch a taxi back. I appealed and got my money back after 6 months. Don't go to Bedford, examiners are something else. I cannot believe it.
Richard was an absolutely disgusting examiner and was sarcastic and rude throughout my whole test. He failed me for something absolutely false yet only gave me 4 minors. Absolutely disgusting man.
Examiner called Richard failed me for someone pulling out in front of me on the roundabout, i started to brake then he did an emergency stop, told me I would of hit him though the car was a good 10m away
Horrible experience at this test centre, the examiner made me feel extremely uncomfortable. Would have been a completely different experience if I had another examiner.
