Praise the Lord! I finally pass my practical driving test here in Barking, the most difficult place to take a test due to so many factors. I have been a professional driver abroad for over 10years, as a Female driver, working and can drive both left right, manual and automatic vehicles.
Trying to secure a UK driving licence was like a setback to me which cost me almost £2000 in the process. However, I did not give up... Today I was very fortunate to meet one of the best Examiner in Barking Tanner Street who take his time to examine my driving ability on this my lucky month of May 2021. This was my 9th solid attempt! which I didnot give up on and it was not because I cannot drive a car but because of 1 little mistake at the edge to succeed that the examiner will call serious fault which got me failed 8times but By the grace of God today, I finally passed with only 2minors! I have been extremely nervous due to my previous bad experiences with some examiners but Michael help to calm my nerves in a very professional way which really build my confident back once again.
May God bless Michael. I give Michael 5 stars as one of the best examiner in Barking Tanner Street. Life is all about trying again when you fail, don't give up! You will finally succeed in Jesus Christ Name. Amen.
My test was on Monday & on my 4th attempt I finally passed! I have been extremely nervous on all tests & stupidly the night before my test I read these (which I now know) completely false past reviews about Kamil. My previous tests have taken place at Goodmayes test centre but due to such a high demand of tests as a result of Co- vid my next available option was to book at Tanner Street, Barking, hence why I wished to research some information about the test centre. On the day, when my examiner introduced himself as Kamil I was instantly filled with dread as I thought I was in for it as I was convinced that despite how my drive went on the day, past reviews led me to believe Kamil was not necessarily a nice man & more so a hard examiner to please! This could NOT be so far from the truth & my experience did not match what has previously been written about him! I can honestly say Kamil was the first examiner that made me feel most relaxed & reassured throughout my drive, which is why I felt so strongly about writing this & leaving a more up to date review!! Whilst he is professional, he is a fair & friendly examiner who made conservation which in turn put me so much more at ease & I drove more like I would do on normal lessons. I couldn’t fault my experience at Tanner Street & would recommend this test centre to anyone. Kamil is not the dragon examiner that he has previously portrayed to be!
Good luck to all those who have a test approaching!
Please ignore all these negative reviews. I was very scared when I read all the bad reviews. I had Kamil as my examiner and I found him to be very professional and made me feel relaxed and calm. I would strongly say if you know how to drive you will pass.
I had my driving test this morning at 8.10 a.m in Barking Tanner Street. My examiner is KAMIL. He is an inappropriate person to be as an examiner. He failed me today and said the reason is I was nearly touching the Kerb and it is a serious fault. Nothing happened like that. If it is a serious fault he would have touched the steering or apply the brake but he hasn't done anything till the exam finished. I can proudly say that I was very confident and calm during my exam. My husband was sitting in the back of the car. Until the final moment, we both thought that I was going to pass my test. My driving instructor also said after I come back from the test that when he saw that KAMIL was my examiner he thought I might get failed. Because he knew from the other occasions that KAMIL is scared to give license to the learners. I hope the Exam board will reconsider this person. He is playing in others life and wasting their time and money. I don't want anyone to have KAMIL as their examiner. He is unprofessional.
THE DRIVING EXAMINER WAS SO NICE ,I DIDNT EVEN DO ANY MINOR FAULT BUT HE GAVE ME FAIL BECAUSE I WAS WAITING IN MINI ROUNDABOUT BIT LONG FOR EXTRA SAFE...HE GAVE ME ONE SERIOUS MISTAKES FOR HESITATION.IF HE WANT HE COULD GAVE ME PASS....I AM UPSET BECAUSE EXAMINER ALWAYS SEE HOW SAFE YOU ARE ...BUT IS THAT SERIOUS MISTAKES FOR EXTRA CARE?SOMETIME THEY TAKES THEIR OWN DECISION ..I THINK RIGHT TO APPEAL SHOULD INCLUDE SO EVERYONE CAN GET ORIGINAL DECISION.
