“My examiner Tony failed for passing to close to an parked car while exiting a roundabout. IMHO an arbitrary error which could have been marked as a minor. So I feel like I was failed to earn money/meet quota for the test center. I have held a foreign licence for 25+ years and am an experienced driver.”

“I had Nick as well. He failed me because another car under exam condition touched my mirror while I parked and listened to the examiner's independent driving instructions. Old Grumpy examiner”

“Hi Guys, I wonder how this examiner Nick has still got a job!!! Most rude ill mannered person I have ever come across and such a bully as well "a little example" from my encounter, while on my on my practical test, with a flow a vehicle ahead of me, he clap his hands rudely and said chop chop you are not going to drive 10 miles an hour !!! Maybe he was expecting me to crash in the car ahead of me because I was keeping a safe car length distance.”

“I tried 3 times at this center. first time had a woman and she failed me fairly. second time a man called B- teacher and I thought he failed me unfairly - but I cant judge third time - Richard passed me. lovely chap got to say I don't think its the examiners its us, if we fail im sure its good reason and we have to do it again. complaining never works because the DVA train the examiners to standard and they will unlikely reverse a decision. I was v annoyed for ages about the second exam but in the end, more hours mean im a safer driver. all the tests were at the same level and no instructor gave me a harder route or maneuver. if at first you don't success swallow your pride and try again! TIP - go on A100 routes and know your country roads and sudden turnings”

“i had nick nicolaou as a examiner and he is such a bad manner, he is very rude and disgusting in the way he deals with those taking their tests. A few people I know have to deal with him and have not had s good word to say... I feel he needs to be investigated trained or not us unexceotable ... I'm thinking of putting in a complaint about him.” he failed me just 15 minutes into driving just because he told me to turn right and i just carried on to the next road he just told me to pull over and walked off and he terminated exam and he never gave me the failure paper, please just sack this idiot”

“If a star wasn't required I wouldn't have even put one. I have taken a driving test today, my examiner touched on my wheel and didn't even moved it and claimed I would've hit a car. First of all if I was going to hit the car, I would have hit it regardless of his interference considering he didn't even move the car. Secondly I am shocked that after I had even risen my complaint that the car would have been in no way affected by my driving he then failed me. I am honestly gobsmacked and if Richard Miller is the standard of which you go by, you shouldn't even have a driving policy. It's a joke. Purposely touching the wheel when it's unnecessary to fail someone. Day light robbery. Sort it out.”

“After reading reviews about Tony online I was very nervous about my test. My instructor had pre warned me that Tony pays very close attention to observation and mirrors, so on the day of my test when he called me out I was prepared! Tony was actually not as bad as everyone made him out to be, he made me feel relaxed and calm and was helpful when I forgot the directions on the independent drive. The independent drive isn't a memory test, and you are allowed to ask for help as long as you ask IN ADVANCED of the turning you are unsure about and you make a safe turning. After 40 minutes of having anxiety and over doing my mirrors, hoping it would impress Tony I finally passed back at Barnet test centre with my bay parking in the car park of the test centre as my manoeuvre. All in all, I liked Tony he may seem scary at first as he wears big black sunglasses (you cant see if he is looking at you or not when he is marking you) he was really nice!”
