What worked for them
The reviewer credited instructor Shumaila's teaching, in particular parallel parking: "She particularly taught me parallel parking so well, and I can do it seamlessly." The reviewer also said Shumaila taught everything needed to become a confident driver, gave reassurance before the test, and advised not to let little mistakes set the reviewer off. No further detail about preparation or the test itself is given in the review, so no further account is claimed here.
Lesson for other learners
- Book only through the official GOV.UK driving test booking service, and only when your instructor agrees you are ready.
- Parallel parking is a skill to practise until it feels seamless, not something to hope goes right on the day — ask your instructor to be plain about what still needs work.
- A small mistake on test does not have to end the test: stay calm and keep driving, as the reviewer was advised to do.
