And this is my test center.
I have cleared my second attempt.
I was a little nervous but now I'm okay.
Like we have to do it.
Look at this.
No one will be as happy as I am.
Hi everyone. Welcome back to our channel.
Reach out and soar over.
Soar over is a mobile app.
And I'm going to share some experiences with you.
Which is actually one of the important part in UK.
It's been 6 years since I came to UK.
I think this is the 7th year.
So what happened is that 2 years ago I...
I'm not fond of driving.
Because this whole video is about driving.
Today I have a driving test.
Practical test. Okay.
I'm not a big fan of driving.
I drive in India.
But I have never made an effort to get a license here.
But 2 years ago I wanted to at least get a driving license.
Sometimes I feel like driving.
Sometimes I need it in an emergency.
I should have it.
So 2 years ago I gave a test.
Theory test.
In which I made a video on it.
That you have to give a test.
There are theory questions.
Multiple choice questions.
In which you have to tick.
And there is also a hazard perception test.
In that you have to tick like multiple choice.
And you have to pass it.
So I passed this 2 years ago.
I have a record that I have passed it.
So it's very old.
In which I took an example 45 out of 50.
And some 65 out of 75 marks.
I was cleared.
In first attempt.
Now.
You told me when it happened.
July 2022.
Means it was very old.
2 years ago.
As soon as I got to know that my theory is going to end.
My soul woke up suddenly.
The reason is that the validity date of the theory test is only 2 years.
So we have to complete our practical within 2 years.
Whatever attempt you take.
Most of the people who say that they cannot attempt.
Whatever I have heard from people so far.
Maximum people clear in the 5th bar.
Who are completely non-drivers.
Those who are not in the 1st attempt.
In the 2nd attempt.
3rd, 4th.
Even in the 5th they do it.
But like it's very once in a hundred chance.
Which people take so long.
Average 3 attempts pass.
For me.
I had given the 1st test.
And at that time I was very nervous.
I didn't have the courage to shoot a video.
Because in the 1st test you are very nervous.
And I failed.
Yes I failed.
With 2 majors.
And 4 minors.
Minors.
You are allowed.
You can do 15 minors.
And.
You have no scope for a major.
If you did even 1 major.
You have failed.
So what were my 2 majors.
Generally people have the same repetitive majors.
Like I had happened at roundabout.
That the car was coming from the right.
Yes.
I would like to share this thing.
That every examiner's point of mind is different.
The day I took the test.
It was raining a lot that day.
Like God was saying.
That I am today.
God was not taking the name of stopping at all.
Whole glass.
Whole windows.
I could not even see very clearly.
But I tried.
Exactly.
Your test is of 40 minutes.
In which.
Your examiner tells you.
That you do independent driving first.
Which he gives you.
By putting it on the Google map.
And 10-15 minutes.
He instructs you by himself.
Left.
Right.
You have to go left.
Right.
And then there is a parking test.
New things have been added.
Like before.
Parking has been added.
This year.
My instructor told me.
And 1-2 things that were added.
So that has been overlaid.
And.
When you start learning that.
You get to know.
For me.
My major fault was.
That he said.
That the car was coming from the right.
You should have given it to him first.
Which is very standard.
But.
What happens.
When you are driving.
Sometimes.
There is a lot of time gap.
In between.
When the car is crossing.
So.
You don't understand.
The mind of examiner.
So.
I drove the car.
So.
He thought.
That you should have given it to him first.
So in this case.
What I have learned.
Even if you stand there for a minute.
First give it to the right one.
To go.
You will get a minor.
That you have waited for a long time.
But.
For me.
My friend told me later.
That if you had waited for a little longer.
Then you would have got a minor.
Not a major.
And second was.
He given it to me.
That while reversing right.
He said.
That you didn't observe properly.
Like this.
You have to turn it like this.
At every place.
He might have missed it at some point.
He thought that was a major fault.
And he failed me.
In first attempt.
Now.
Today is my second attempt.
You are seeing me right now.
I am very happy.
Because I have a meeting at my office.
I have to go for that.
And then after that.
I will be going for my test.
From there.
I will come straight back home.
Let's see what is going to happen.
I don't even know.
But I am hoping.
That I can clear the test today.
Because this is going to be my second attempt.
And.
Wish me.
Luck.
That I clear it today.
And share your experience with you.
So.
We are here.
How are you feeling?
Very good.
Are you feeling good?
So.
Actually.
I cleared the test.
Second attempt.
But.
There is one thing.
I have to practice in a big car.
Because.
We have a long Jaguar.
And.
And he practiced in a small car.
Small car.
So.
I have to focus on that.
So.
Let's sit here.
And share our experience.
Anyways.
Congratulations.
You cleared the test.
I will sit here and share my experience.
How was my test.
You ask me questions.
I will answer.
Okay.
And Jaguar is called elephant.
A big elephant.
Okay.
Oh, man.
Expenses are a lot.
Of course, man.
Big cars.
Big expenses.
So.
Let's ask first.
How was the experience?
So.
I will share my full A to Z experience.
What exactly happened.
So.
First of all.
My.
Exam.
My center was the same.
Borehamwood.
Where I attempted for the first time.
Second time.
I again went to Borehamwood.
And.
Tried.
Guys.
If you get the same center.
Because.
The reason is.
You practice the same routes.
So.
You will be more comfortable.
Rest.
If you are not getting.
You want to go to another center.
That is your wish.
My test started.
Today.
Luckily.
The weather was very good.
The sun was good.
There was no rain.
Like the first one.
So.
I was very calm.
Composed.
I went.
Okay.
If you pass, it's okay.
Because.
When you go in tension.
You can make any mistake at any time.
Actually.
The first time.
I was a little nervous.
That's why.
You were a little comfortable.
So.
You could shoot the video.
So.
I thought.
Let me share my experience.
So.
In the starting.
First of all.
They gave me independent driving.
It was about 30 minutes.
They put it on navigation.
But.
In between.
Please make sure.
I didn't know the first time.
They can tell you anytime.
Pull out left.
Pull out right.
I was confused last time.
I thought.
Just keep driving like this on navigation.
No one will disturb you.
But they stop you.
Multiple times.
Pull out left.
Pull out right.
They can do anything.
Again.
So.
This time.
I knew.
I was mentally prepared.
Driving was going on.
In between.
He made one or two minor mistakes.
He must have noted my minor.
We don't know.
Because.
We are focusing on driving.
And then.
He took me to the parking lot.
And.
Many times it happens.
Guys.
You.
Sometimes.
Get lucky as well.
My reverse.
The reverse parking.
A little.
Even now.
In it.
Because.
I have to move.
Forward.
Backward.
Front way parking.
I can do it easily.
Reverse.
But.
And.
With the blessings.
But.
Somehow.
And.
Yes guys.
Show me.
Tell me.
Starting.
In the starting journey, they ask you some safety questions
and you have to answer them.
For example, it is related to brakes or tires.
When I came back, I thought I might fail or pass
because they have a small machine.
What do you call it?
Ipad.
Ipad type.
They keep writing something in it.
You don't know whether you are writing major or minor.
But today, I have done 5 minor.
5 minor but no major.
So, I got passed.
When I reached the centre, I asked him whether I passed or failed.
He said, wait.
Let your instructor come.
I will tell him your mistakes.
Because even if you have done minor mistakes, they have to explain you
so that you won't repeat it again.
I thought I might have failed again
because I was waiting for my instructor.
When my instructor came, she showed us that she has passed
but have done 4-5 minor mistakes.
How many minor mistakes did you do?
I did 5 minor mistakes.
She told me that I gave the signal too late.
It is a necessity that you have to give it earlier.
So, you could have planned your awareness earlier.
Yes, I could have done it earlier.
She told me that I should have given it earlier as it was a necessity
so that the previous class would know whether I was going left or right.
So, those were my 2 minor mistakes.
If you repeat minor mistakes 3 times, you can still fail.
So, make sure that you don't repeat minor mistakes more than 2 times.
She told me that I gave the signal too late.
She said that I might have taken the signal wrongly and did it right.
Then I corrected it.
So, I was confused.
So, he gave me one minor mistake.
He also told me that when I was reversing right,
I didn't observe properly once.
Because when you are parking, it takes 2-3 minutes.
Maybe I didn't observe properly in those 2-3 minutes
and he thought that he gave me a minor mistake.
So, will you drive today?
I won't drive today
because as a learner,
because I just got my driving license,
I have to make sure of many things.
Let me show you one thing.
They give you a book
and you have to read it.
They tell you what you have to do.
Oh, how you will become a better driver.
Yes.
I will read it properly.
You read it?
Yes, I read it.
After that, they tell you
Whenever you go for a test,
they tell you to tie your hair properly.
I was open at that time.
So, my instructor told me
to tie it properly, band it,
whatever you have to do,
your hair shouldn't be visible on your face
because they don't want to see
hair on your hands.
So, they take care of small things.
But finally, I made it.
I have the license now.
If you have any questions,
I can tell you from my experience.
If you are practicing,
what you have to give,
if you need any feedback
from an instructor,
and also, I can help you
if you are not getting any appointments
because I have some contacts
who give you an early test appointment.
They charge money.
Yes, they charge money
because they will give you
someone's slot
and it costs extra money.
Normally, if you go to the UK government website,
it costs 65 pounds.
But if you buy someone's slot,
it costs around
170-180 GBP.
So, if you want to buy a slot,
definitely you have to pay extra.
Also,
think about it.
What is your expense
for giving the test?
That expense is a big amount
because per test,
you have to pay 40 GBP per hour.
It's not only
2 hours.
How many sessions did you take?
For every session,
I took 2 hours.
I paid 90 pounds
for 2-2 hours class.
I took a total of 20-25 hours.
So, you can guess
how much money I spent.
Okay, and the day you had to
take the car to the centre,
what was your expense?
I took my instructor's car
and used his car.
I used 150 GBP altogether.
He took me from home,
gave me his car for the test,
dropped me home,
and took a total of 150 GBP.
That is the normal cost
that every instructor takes from you.
Plus, whatever I practiced,
I paid around 900-1000 GBP.
For 90 GBP,
I am paying only 2 hours.
So, you can guess
how much money I spent.
Plus, when you booked the session,
I had to pay
170-180 GBP
separately.
So, overall,
it depends on you.
If your driving
is already good,
you are confident,
and you are ready,
you might be able to do
5-6 classes.
I have already taken 20-25 classes.
That's why my cost has increased.
The rest of the cost
is normal.
You can hire a driver,
and buy a test.
The only concern is
the cost of the sessions.
So, overall,
I have spent
1500 GBP
because of my driving sessions.
I wanted to make sure
that my practice was good.
I didn't want to feel
like an unknown driver.
Finally, I did it.
