Just passed my practical driving test.

No more driving with fear since April when my time ran out.


When I was called by the dreaded woman in my test center, my heart sank


Alas, it was a smooth ride


1) I made sure my tyres were within approved thread minimum. Drive into an MOT shop and beg them to look at your tyres.


2) Ensure no warning light is showing

3) Make sure your controls are working.

4) Mine was a manual car, so make sure your gear and clutch works.


5) Have at least 2 L signs for front and back.

6) Have a small 2nd rear view mirror for the examiner too. This would be attached on the passenger side of the windscreen.

7) Make sure your car is neat and tidy and you haven't smoked in the car before the test if you do smoke.

cool Know how to open your bonnet and able to check all necessaries if asked.

9) My insurance was intact.


10) If you have someone with a valid license (3 years) to drive you to the venue, that would be great. If not, get your instructor to accompany you. I drove my instructor to and fro. Paid £60 for 2.5hrs as it was my own car. He waited while we rode to wonder land.

Relax and drive them 🤪


Just 1 minor advisory not to pull up in front of someone's driveway again


Now I can do 100mph 😂


....and yes...I used my own car for the test.

All elders in the house I need you all to be give me serious advice on this so I won't enter problem as jjc coming in to UK. My story will be a bit long but na as e dey do me 🤗

So I will be coming to UK in some days time. I have been searching for accommodation since early june but when non was forthcoming I posted on a private travel group on facebook seeking accommodation and someone directed me by tagging me to woman's page (this particular woman based in UK and she run school and visa application for people also she has quite a number of followers) saying she can help me by posting on her platform and I might see someone who will have a house share.

I sent a DM to this woman and she replied to my DM within 2days and she confirmed if I will be coming alone or with my partner before proceeding to posting the advert for accommodation on her page for me.

I notice she posted the advert including my city and other cities as I understand other people might have requested just like me too. That very day towards evening cos I kept on checking the post lol, I saw a woman who comment under the post that she has a room in her 2bed apartment in the city I'm going to

So we talked there on the comment section and she dropped her phone number of which we proceeded to what'sapp. She said she will be living the city soonest in August or mid September 2023 because she got sponsorship job elsewhere.

We concluded and she sent me her UK bank account (Lloyds bank) and her Nigeria account number saying I should send in one month rent as against when I will be coming to the UK to secure it. We exchange pictures, her bank accounts names are not different from her facebook name. I have also search through her facebook and the account is quite old as I can even trace her husband, siblings, relatives, ex colleagues at work due to pictures tagging.

Below are my fears but give me advice because seriously money for airbnb nor dey aswear

1) should I proceed to paying into her UK bank account instead?

2) Should anything sup will I be able to track her using her UK bank account?

3) Since she will be relocating from the city and letting me and my partner occupy her room won't the agent asked us to move out as sub letting is a serious case even here in Nigeria sef

4) Don't you guys think she should introduced us to the house agent when we get to UK so we can now sign our own contract with the agent?

5) what do you think I should be scared of?

PS: she said after payment she will send me postcode. Also my school is in Brighton and the accommodation is in Brighton £700 per month excluding bill for couple

Thank you for your reply

Abeg e be like say my driving instructor wan run me street. She is charging me £150 for using her car on test day and an extra £30 for an hour prep before the test. I feel like she wants to rip me off. Please is this rate normal in London.

Using her car on test day should be charged as normal driving lessons on a hourly rate.

First time I’m hearing this.

She’s quite expensive. Usual fee is the same rate as charging per hour. So she should charge you her normal rate and nothing extra. Just negotiate with the babe since her eyes dey red

Why don't you use your own car?
My wife recently passed her test using her own car. All you need is to make sure you are on the car insurance, have L stickers (4), get some inner mirror and the tiny window mirrors to be sticked to side windows. You buy all these on Amazon.
Wife only passed when she used her car for the test. She failed twice using her instructor's car.

If i were in your shoes, I would not use my car......... Your vehicle does not have instructor's pedal fitted........

That instructor's pedal, is your examiner's life insurance....... Without it, your examiner would feel exposed like a fish, out of its pond........ 😁

The examiner would inspect your vehicle, and would fail it, for the slightest reason....... Just pay about £100 and use an instructors vehicle..........

Not true tho. I think it's allowed to use your personal car for a test. Things changed due to covid backlog I think.
As earlier posted, wifey passed her test using her own car. Even her instructor advice her to use her own car instead as she is drives it for her personal practice.
She practiced with her car with me by her side. So she was very use to the car prior to the test.

Guys pls which is the best bank card to use abroad?

Hello house, please how long after birth do you have to apply for a dependent visa for your child if you are on a tier 2 VISA? We don't intend to travel for a while. Thank you

I never said it was not allowed...... I just think, a safer examiner is more inclined to feel more comfortable with the L driver.......

Good day everyone

I am currently in Colchester , UK with a student dependent visa and I have got an interview with an NHS trust in Chester Liverpool area on the 5th September.

The job is an IT role with possible visa sponsorship.

I will appreciate if anyone can have me on a night stay preceding the day or some alternatives to use as Airbnb will be quite expensive.

Thank you.

If you no get help here, try student accommodation on Booking dot com or try travel lodge,

It's too late to find an alternative if she insists cos my test is next week. She just said it now cos she knows I have no other option.

Hi guys, my letting agent sent a mail yesterday that they are coming for inspection of the property. Currently, my kids have stained some part of the wall in the sitting room and the carpet is stained but i can easily pay someone to come watch it spotlessly. Would it be right to paint the wall using the same paint? How long notice can I give them to come and do the inspection? I am also paying regular insurance for the property which amounts to £10,000 for stained wall, carpets or damage furniture and I haven't missed a payment since I moved.

What should I expect from the inspection as well?

Thanks in advance
