Mimzyy: I guess you were being too careful and I can relate with how you feel cos I experienced it when I failed my first theory test by one score. Try and and get any of the afore listed apps/cds and practice again. You will be fine dear.... 1 Like |

Mimzyy: You actually did well in the theory part, so no need to feel sad. With hazard perception try and practise as often.as possible and click at least twice when you spot an hazard so you can get either 5 or 3. Nothing more than practice make perfect. All the best 1 Like |

Getting ready for my practical driving test next month, is there any disadvantage of using my own car for the test. Because I intend using mine (SUV) of which I am more conversant with which I have been driving with my international license. But my instructor was telling me stories,wanting me to use his instead. |

TRAY2: I am talking of 10 years ago plus ..... two of my friends kept failing and both were using their cars. Then someone made a comment that test instructors dont like it. Next test they did with instructor car instead of personal and they both passed. While I dont have any evidence to show if using their car worked to their disadvantage because we never truly know . I am just sharing how it happened |

TRAY2: Have you been using your SUV for driving lessons? Maybe you should follow the instructor's advice |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by TRAY2(m): 11:37pm On Jan 08, 2020 |
Hahaha, thanks for the heads up, I will go ahead with the instructors car then, only that the car is a hybrid, you can’t even hear the sound of the engine, and it’s so fast, I always pass the speed limit whenever I use it for lessons. My aim is to pass the test first attempt so help me God �� I am talking of 10 years ago plus ..... two of my friends kept failing and both were using their cars.

I have been driving for a while now with my car, just did a couple of lessons with him so he can assess my driving and show me what I needed to pass the test. But I will go ahead with using his car then. |

TRAY2: Your best bet is to use your instructors vehicle, for the simple reason........ The examiner gets the confidence of dual pedal control...... If you can drive one car, you can drive any other............. 2 Likes |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Lexusgs430: 1:18am On Jan 09, 2020 |
TRAY2: The hybrid has a speedometer binnacle, if you go over the designated speed limit...... Instant failure...... So self restrain and control, is very important....... |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by umarwy(m): 2:58am On Jan 09, 2020 |
TRAY2: Use cruise control to maintain 20 and 30 speed limits, most modern cars have this function and it's allowed for the test |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Lexusgs430: 5:41am On Jan 09, 2020 |
umarwy: Cruise control at 20mph? .......... Which vehicle would allow setting CC at this low speeds? Are you very sure cruise control is allowed, under test conditions?.......? Those doing driving lessons, confirm this wives tale biko....... |

Hello House, I’m an EU citizen and applied for an EU family permit visa for a first dependent mid December and haven’t received a decision yet. I’m applying for a second dependent, the part where they ask whether I’ve ever sponsored anyone to join or accompany me to UK do I choose yes or no since decision hasn’t been made on the first one yet. Thanks |

Lexusgs430: I passed my test in july 2019. I used CC during my test (its part of driving why wont it be allowed). Moreover there is a section for eco driving on the marking sheet. I used Ford focus cant remember the year (surely less than 5 years) 1 Like |

TRAY2: You think examiners want to die like runaway fowl being driven by a stanger with a massive L? Safety first! Most of the driving school cars have been adapted somehow with extra pedals on the passengers side. This is to ensure that when tension grab you after 10 minutes of your driving test, they are capable of controlling the situation. For example, when I did mine, after approximately five mins, the examiner slammed the brakes. He did that couple of times before the end of the test. As soon as the examiner does that, you might as well park on the pavement and go home. 5 Likes |

Has anyone had issues with Waze saying "Red light reporting you"? A friend got this notification first time using the app, personally I think the app isnt that sophisticated to get access to police/gov database but then who knows. Secondly, how do they apply the 3 points of such offence to an international licence? |
