How hard is the uk practical driving test-Bishops Stortford?
I'm brickin' it already.
Has anyone done their test in Stortford
Answers:
It's far from simple. Hardly anyone ever passes these days because it's fixed and dont believe anyone who tells you it isnt. The way it works it examiners have to keep the waiting times up to around a 6-9 week waiting time so they fail/pass people depending on how many learners they have waiting rather than on your driving ability.
Think about it, would you rather be guaranteed a job for 1 week or 9 weeks? The trouble is nobody can prove it but we all know it happens. So in answer to your questions, how good you are doesnt matter. Its just how many they're allowed to pass each week that matters. Having said that you do need to be reasonably good but trust me, some people who pass are totally dreadfull and they let them through cos they need to get the waiting times down. Some who fail are better than experienced drivers but they just cant pass them cos they'd lose business. Why should they pass you first time when if they fail you a few times you'll have to pay for more tests? At £48.50 a time it makes sense to fail people a few times first.
it's standardised through the UK and it's simple.
It must be because we have so many lousy drivers about
I would imagine it is as hard as anywhere else in the country. Are there any particular parts that worry you? If so get your instructor to concentrate on them during your lessons.
Surely it doesn't matter where you do your test as the whole content will be exactly the same - wherever? You will do the same things - three point turn - hill start - emergency stop anywhere. If you are new to the area, suggest to your driving instructor that you want your lessons in the area to get used to it.
The test should be the same 'difficulty' wherever you take it. I haven't been to Stortford for years although I have family there, so I can't comment on the roads but look out for police cars, my sister-in-law hit a police car at the Hockrill lights, bottom of Dunmow Road on her test. She failed by the way. Good Luck.
I did my test in Stortford.. It was between Colchester, Chelmsford or Stortford but my instructor assured me that Strortford was the easiest town to drive in.. Lots of mini roundabouts but the examiner was really nice and I passed first time.. Good Luck!!
Try doing it in N ireland its hard i failed 7 times and i am not doing it again
