Shikha Chauhan passes driving test after two failed attempts

A Trustpilot reviewer named Shikha Chauhan said they passed their driving test after two failed attempts, crediting instructor Ahmed, in a review dated 5 March 2025.

The pass

The review, rated 5 out of 5 stars on Trustpilot, opens with the reviewer’s own words: “I recently passed my driving test”. The reviewer puts the two earlier failed attempts down to their own faults, described in the review only as very silly faults — no numeric minors or faults figure is given, and none is claimed here. No test centre, test date, or manual or automatic detail is stated, and none is claimed — 5 March 2025 is the review date, not a claimed test date. No surname is given for Ahmed, and none is claimed.

What worked for them

The reviewer described Ahmed as “very supportive and calm”, and thanked him for the patience he teaches with. The review recommends Ahmed to anyone who thinks they need a great instructor; that recommendation is reported as the reviewer’s view, not as a fact about outcomes.

Lesson for other learners

• A failed test does not end the journey — this reviewer passed after two failed attempts, and put the earlier faults down to their own errors rather than the test itself.
• Book only through the official GOV.UK driving test booking service, and only when your instructor agrees you are ready.
• A calm, patient instructor helps on the road to a pass — ask your instructor to be plain about what still needs work.
