DO NOT GO TO THIS TEST CENTRE! I had a very rude examiner who grabbed my wheel when everything was running smoothly.. she claimed I was about to go into a parked van however I had already half passed this van and have never had a trouble with this before in any of my driving lessons. She was very rude and was acting very rushed!! Will be using a different test centre from now on
The lady was nice with me but she failed with 16 minor and 1 major .the one serious was because I stopped one the bend when she asked me to pull on to the left..near the lodge it is hard to stop so be aware of it..
Just made a complaint about Derby driving test centre! Wait and see!!
Derby test centre is really a nightmare for me! Their examiner failed me just because I reduced a little speed on a dual carriageway for more time to read the sign even I had checked the mirror before. And, I took the middle left lane as I entered the Blue Peter roundabout on Shardlow Road. I still had the chance to move to the right lane after I left it . But the examiner failed me for these as two major faults. The unfair result nearly destroyed my confidence.
Ist time failing,I knew it was my mistake,2nd time it was Bal who had her examiner at the back,I wasnt even given a choice whether I could take him or refuse to take him,2 examiners with me made me nervous,but to save her own back she failed me because she thought I was going to turn left,It was my 3rd time,my examiner was Emma,I was nervous as it is,she did not even ask my name or made me comfortable,she mumbled under her breath with instructions,for independent driving she just gave instructions in one go and kept quiet,there was no communication,made me feel more nervous,no smile,horrible expierence. She really has put me off driving,while giving feedback,she made me feel like I commited a crime to go the wrong way!!
