I can only empathize with the 1-star reviews here left regarding the examiner Jacky. She treated me like a teenage when I am 27 years old and talked down to me as soon as I got in the car... she even managed to say my signature was sloppy when I struggle to do the with my hand. People say examiners aren't out to fail you but this experience convinced me of the complete opposite. I ended up failing as she swore I didn't look right at the roundabout?! Who doesn't look right at a roundabout? I've been on the road for 7 years on my motorbike, so if anyone knows how crucial it is to know what's coming it's me!!! I 100% looked right more than twice before looking left as it was a mini roundabout. Then she diverted her attention to talking about the weather which is when I knew she had failed me already. I stayed humble and didn't contest it in the car too much but please, DO NOT book your test here. Go to Horsforth or double Jacky has left the centre.
only reason i’m giving one star is because i can’t give 0 stars- got a lady both times i did my test at harehills and both times i felt extremely uncomfortable with the way she was acting towards me, i feel like she was being extremely prejudiced as im a 17 year old girl, she was rude, failed me for things which should 100% have been a minor, i can drive, i am a confident driver but this woman has knocked my confidence massively i would not suggest this test centre at all.
Can’t believe this place gets bad reviews. I’ve done my test at other centres and they’ve been proper unfair with the manoeuvres - one got me to reverse around two trees, and another made me do five emergency stops saying he wanted me to make the tyres squeak!! My examiner was Simon who simply got me to reverse backwards using reverse gear in the opposite direction to ahead without squashing the kerb. It would be great if they could clone Simon and put a Simon in every driving examiner centre - and also in museums because the staff in those places are always rudish.
This test centre is taking your money and failing you on purpose. I’ve just read the offcom records on this site. Their having a good old laugh at our expense , they know how many they fail before the day starts . It’s disgusting and unfair. Not to mention all the examiners are old age pensioners so very old old skool , one mistake to them it’s a fail!! And if your of different nationalities your failing end if……
I felt like I was in crown court before I even got in my car, jacky was rude, abrupt, and not professional . Wasn’t even in my car 8 minutes and I knew I’d failed before I got in! Her attitude was disgusting and she does not deserve that job. Questions not relating to my test, uncompassinate, terrible attitude and a horrible person .
