It was a busy good Monday for me at about 8:10am take-off time with Lelle being my assigned examiner form Colchester Driving Test Centre.
I passed my manual driving test on this busy day 04-12-2023 without a single fault. My examiner said and I quote " What an excellent faultless driving experience with you Mr. Mohammed" You have to keep it up to ensure other users of the road are completely safe every time in the future.
Thanks so much for the commendation Lelle my examiner of the day.
Tina was my assessor today, she was very calming and lovely to talk to.
I can’t thank her enough for keeping me relaxed and being so professional.
Pete was amazing help, quality bloke would recommend, makes you feel at ease very much
Time for a word supporting the examiners. Moan, moan, moan is all these reviews have to say. People don't fail the test for nothing. They fail for getting things wrong. Nobody likes to fail but if you don't drive to the required standard then you won't be successful. Most recent post for son failing test due to minimally steamed up window on passenger side is nonsense!!! You don't fail for that. You will fail for a seriously steamed up window for obvious safety reasons. In all likelihood that's what has happened. There aren't quotas! Pupils often think they haven't done anything wrong when they clearly have. If you fail you need to stop whining, pick yourself up and try again. In my experience (Name removed) is one Of the best examiners and very fair. If your son returns to Colchester test centre he will do well to get him again! Trust me!!
Son got 1 minor, and still failed because the screen steamed up minimally on passenger side!! Obviously have to fail their quota. What a Joke (Name Removed) Is!!!!!!
