    Special tip for those who live in London..!
    Try booking your test outside of London in the nearest town from where you live. I took my test in Chelmsford (which is fairly close to me) and it was much better than in Bromley, where I took my first test and failed :/.

      Thanks for the tips bro, I am also in Bromley. Is your driving instructor has no preference of not going into far test centre?

    • @JulioSilvaUK
      @JulioSilvaUK  16 днів тому

      @@sohamdan489 Well It depends on where you live and how long your lessons are. If Bromley is close to you, then I’m sure you can go there with your instructor. But if it’s quite far, you’d have to see what your options are and how you’d carry out your lessons.

    I have my test in mid June. I think it’s also very important to have the right driving instructor who can modify their teaching style/ lessons that suits you. I’ve change instructor four times because Ive been shouted at which traumatized me, until I found my current instructor. My current instructor is amazing as he is very patient and approachable, he will try different ways to make me understand and motivate me. I’ve noticed that I’ve dramatically progressed.

    • @JulioSilvaUK

      Yes, having the right instructor is the core to having a successful driving test. I’m glad you’ve achieved that :)

    • @JulioSilvaUK
      @JulioSilvaUK  Місяць тому +1

      I didn't mention the private practice hours cause I wasn't sure how many I had. But yes, you can be test ready with 20 hours with an instructor, I didn't learn anything new with my dad.

      Some people can, I had 60 hours cause I had to wait months for a test, so just continued with the lessons. Only after about 40 hours did I start to settle and lose my nervousness, which is kinda weird cause I like going fast in my own car, but in a safe manner.
      Not been over 60mph though, not worth getting a speeding fine and points.

    I remember passing my test first time but I practiced using a gaming steering wheel and played forza continuously, had like a total of 17 hours of driving lessons!

    Hola, in my case, I can drive since 17 years ago, I mean the first time I went behind the sterring wheel was at the age of 17 years, now I have 34 so I'm an expert driver. The problem is that I passed both tests in my country but they are not worth here so I have to re sit them again and DVSA does not have available slots all the time so it's being a pain in the ass try to book a test. If anyone has another alternative to book a test, please let me know. Gracias.

    • @JulioSilvaUK
      @JulioSilvaUK  14 днів тому

    The DVSA recommend 45 hours professional instruction and 20 hours private practice. Everyone learning ability is different so even DVSA’s advice is only a guideline. Some people may take many more hours, some will take less. Some people have learning difficulties or anxiety. 20 hours like you is giving very misleading information.

      It’s not misleading… it’s how I passed. If I did it, I’m sure others can as well.
