Lesson for other learners
- Confidence and preparation go together: the reviewer credits feeling ready, not just knowing the manoeuvres.
- A first attempt is won in the lessons before it — trust your instructor’s judgement on when you are ready.
- Book only through the official GOV.UK driving test booking service, and only when your instructor agrees you are ready.
