“I have been driving for 13 years and I had that weird lady who terminated my test for public safety reasons & failed me for being too close to the parked cars on my right! I said I have been at least half a meter away. She was like " you have to be at least a meter away!!", I explained it is not safe to do so, as it is a narrow road and I would be on the other side of the road facing coming vehicles. She replied, but the street was empty!!! I booked my test again and if it is going to be the same lady, I will not do the test, as she totally rude, ,unreasonable, unfriendly , she even left me in the car in the middle of no where and walked away!! Even my instructor was shocked as he expected that I will pass from the first time!!”

“I've had two tests and both times felt so uncomfortable and judged on a personal level not on a driving level. Defo should have cameras in the cars to see if it's fair, need new conductors who actually want to be there.”

“I am very disappointed with the service of (Name removed at request of examiner) - it seems he is failing people on purpose, really. He could be very intimidatory, making you feel uncomfortable and nervous. Maybe this centre has professional people regarding car licence (though I strongly doubt it after reading reviews here), but in my case it was terrible motorcycle test experience (twice). DO NOT recommend for motorcycle license - if you have any chance, choose different test centre.”

“This my 2nd test had it and I have failed it for just tiny mistake. She ask me to do reverse parking instead of 1st half lock I have done it full lock suddenly I have thought 1st half lock than I have finish my reverse parking. Still she failed me for this reason she is so weird. Worst test centre ever.”

“My examiner did not make me feel at ease whatsoever, I mean I'm aware they aren't gonna be extremely pleasant but atleast be a little friendly. Mine was just rude and made me feel more nervous which is obviously not going to help when I'm already anxious”

“I tuck my fourth test. I agree to what most pupil's are saying regards to examiners passing pupils when they are in mood of passing. On my last test I have neck pain looking over my right blind spot he failed me on not looking over my right blind spot when setting off. It's a disgrace to honesty.”

“I failed my first test with 2 majors. As an ambulance was coming behind me and as I pulled up the examiner told me to carry on, so even though the ambulance was coming I had to carry on after pulling up. I had full faith that I was going to pass and the examiner had told me I failed as I came too close to the car on the left. but if the law says stop it means STOP?! I was then approaching the roundabout and was on 30 which was the limit. another car was overtaking me and I was given a major for not making progress. I'm an Asian and in that test there was only one non-Asian. which co-incidentally was the ONLY student that had passed. they decide at their convenience when they will take your test and cancel it too. One morning I turned up for my 2nd test and I had been driving for the whole hour prior to my test. the examiners came out their room laughing and declared it was too icy outside and it was dangerous so the test was cancelled. we live in the UK. the weather is ALWAYS bad. we cant wait for dry days to have tests. buckle up?”

“Had my driving lesson yesterday morning the ***** rude ****** miserable *** called (Name removed) failed me for a serious fault for driving on the right side by accident with nerves on the test center bit driving out when he wasn’t telling me properly directing me rightly like your instructor does he was just so rude and arrogant with how he was speaking and had no interest when I was speaking nicely to him apparently people have had problems with him he needs sacking, no one is perfect to drive correctly everyone makes a mistake driving if you never make mistakes you never learn from that mistake but there’s never understanding as it’s all in their hands acting cocky but they not exactly perfect drivers themselves no one is I was so upset over this fail and have to pay again for another one.”

“This test centre is a joke the examiners mark you down when your doing nothing wrong at all (I could literally see her marking me down and thought wtf I'm not doing anything wrong?!) and fail you for stupid reasons that should be minors like driving too close past parked vehicles even though the road is narrow and you were nowhere near actually hitting the cars! Heard similar off family one who failed 4 times at this test centre and passes first time at another one! Just out to Rob peoples money with petty vindictive examiners.”

“All the tools here playing the race card..they repeatedly fail you for nothing at this test centre regardless of what colour you are..I know someone white failed 5 times here passed first time at different test centre..they turn minor mistakes into majors as an excuse to fail you. Awful place”

“I tried making a simple conversation during the test but was getting dead replies back, she didn’t really have any facial expressions just a straight face the whole time but overall I don’t mind passed first time even though she forgot to give my report sheet back so I have no idea how many minors I got 🙁”

“Did both Motorcycle Module 1 and 2 here. The examiners instruction was clear and concise. I dont understand the complaints from people it's a good test centre with a good mixture of driving/riding environments to test all aspects of skills learned. They are not out to get you if you fail, then there is a genuine reason for failure. Suck it up and practice!”
