    Congratulations Tochi, I think the problem was expectations. The more the people around you know you have an upcoming test, the more you are pressured to pass, and that is likely to make you fail. That was my experience until I decided to take the test without anyone’s knowledge. I then passed with ease, cos no one knew except myself. Trust me, this is the trick. Too much expectations can make you do silly mistakes you wouldn’t do on a normal day driving!

    • @TochiEsther
      @TochiEsther  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      It was part of the problem and maybe I put too much pressure on myself

    • @amonispiff6111
      @amonispiff6111 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      I also adopted this method ..truly in life its much better to move in silence ..I didn't tell my spouse again but only my daughter and even then I just made it seems so casual and not important ..so when I eventually passed they were plesantly surprised . ..but 11 attempts is really something o she's resilient

    • @efemenaezie9418
      @efemenaezie9418 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Very true. I failed my theory test twice and virtually everyone I know was aware that I was going to take a theory driving test...Bob! I advised myself and moved in silence...booked it a third time and passed, that was when I told them. Abeg I no fit shout. 😂

    • @Flomaria08
      @Flomaria08 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Very true…I adopted this method. Na only me know how many times I failed…they only need to know I passed.

    • @omoruyiefe1628
      @omoruyiefe1628 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Exactly what happened to me. I wad so pressured to pass on first attempt cos everyone at work knew. Second attempt I failed for not indicating on roundabout, a mistake I'll never make normally o. I was so pissed ehn. So I didn't tell anyone again and passed with just 2 minors two days ago.

    As a domiciliary carer, I drive every morning till night. I was disappointed at myself for failing the test, but I realised that it's best to use your own car to take your test and not the instructor's car. You understand your car better. I passed my test on the 2nd attempt using my car.
    Never take your test in locations that you're not familiar with.
    Observation is a major in the test, so do busy body observations if possible, just to impress the examiner
    Watch lots of TH-cam videos on driving, e.g, conquer driving, world driving, and others. It really helped me
    Pray to have a good examiner

    • @TochiEsther

    • @esoheeriyo4306
      @esoheeriyo4306 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @adelusiagnes-qt9wy I'll say manual, but you may take the test more than once to pass it. I use automatic and did the automatic driving test.
      I may consider doing manual test later if need be

      @AbieyuwaVictor-Bennett 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      😂Lol @ “busy body observations” so true! My brother advised me to just act film for them by looking over my shoulders etc even in an empty street. I used manual and failed. Hopefully will book my second test soon.

  • @thestartupwallet
    @thestartupwallet 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +17

    Thanks for sharing this. I did mine like 5 times oo!! But I totally understand.
    Another thing is some driving instructors deliberately hold you back by dragging out the lessons so you can spend longer in the learning phase with them.
    One thing for sure is to practice the driving round the examination routes as much as possible this really helped me

    • @TochiEsther

    Congratulations I had an examiner who failed me 3rd Times but the 4th time same examiner I told him that you have been failing me but today I must pass he said let us see what the traffic holds for that day. Finally that day he passed me on a manual driving licence. Omo I knee down for test center they praise God and to thank the examiner.

    Congratulations- the uk is not easy when it comes to passing tests. i have been trying to learn to drive on and off for 20 years. i started to take it seriously in 2012-2013 and failed. Then i tried again in 2014 failed. then i had a break and tried again in a different part of the country in 2019 and failed then i tried again in 2020 and failed. i am now having lessons again and i am not going to stop until i pass because i need that licence as i am moving overseas where there will be no buses.

  • @faithbabirye9980
    @faithbabirye9980 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

    Congratulations on passing your test! 🎉 I honestly felt your pain - I failed my test 5 times and finally passed mid-July on my 6th attempt with 5 minors. Some people don’t understand how much learning to drive can take a toll on you, especially emotionally. It can definitely make you more anxious; I know I felt that way. But it's all over now, and you can enjoy your independence and make life easier for your kids. Well done! 🚗👏

    • @TochiEsther

    This video made me realise how exceptionally lucky I was to have written my theory test and passed first time, and also did my practical test and passed on first attempt. All without having to take any classes or use any driving instructor or anything like that. However, I have been driving for years back at home and when I bought a car upon my arrival in the UK, used my international license to drive for close to a year. Another important part was watching TH-cam videos on how to pass your practical tests. Furthermore, I used my car for the test. I only bought an extra rare mirror for the examiner's use and the 'L' signs - both didn't cost me more than £7 on ebay. I probably would have given up if I had failed up to 3 times. Her resilience and determination is out of this world. Congratulations.

  • @sandracampbell4579
    @sandracampbell4579 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Congratulations to you….I’ve had a start stop driving experience through the years. I’ve been there, totally and fully understand the stress. Any exam i have taken I get fully stressed out before, but the driving one was always off the chart stress. I would go in do the theory in half hour and out no issue, I think the stress with the driving was someone watching my every move. I also prayed on the last one also, as soon as my hand touched the wheel and didn’t stop praying until the examiner said congratulations you have passed. Then I thanked the father up above. Learning cost money and it’s not cheep and only adds to the stress. My only advice to anyone who has failed is not to book a test a week or two later. Because you are going to the same test centre more than likely. Also you want to give the test centre examiner the right impression. You need to show yes I failed before and I have taken sometime to practice and return.

  • @adewoyeolumide6806
    @adewoyeolumide6806 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +15

    Mine also became a prayer point at a time… Examiner and even an instructor could be an hindrances seriously…some instructors will just be collecting your money without teaching you the proper thing. Having a good and sincere instructor can help one passed quick…Driving license in UK is second to passport…

    • @TochiEsther

    @ogbolechristian4826 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    I passed my test first attempt, with zero fault. I only had five lessons.
    I was so nervous before the test as I failed a mock test the previous day.
    But my examiner was so calm and we conversed throughout the test and I passed.
    Examiners play a huge role in one passing their test, I must say.

  • @erniemntolo
    @erniemntolo 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Congratulations on persevering and finally passing Tochi! I also failed my first driving test because I was so consumed with fear. I even remember how I failed although it was back in the year 2001. We were stuck in traffic and for some reason I decided to signal to pass the cars in front of me and yet we were all stuck in traffic. The examiner stopped me and explained that the other cars were also trying to move and I had nowhere to go. You see how fear messes with you! It stops you from driving the car because all you are focused on is being terrified!
    At the same time when I was trying to pass my driving test I had also started playing basketball. I also sucked at basketball because of fear. When I was passed the ball I would be so scared of the opponent stealing it from me, so I would either quickly make a bad pass or try to shoot a bad rushed shot. My team mates were always screaming at me to calm down and take my time so that I did not lose the ball so easily. I decided that I was tired of being scared and shouted at anymore so I went to Hyde Park daily and practiced handling the ball alone, mainly how to dribble the basketball under control. I got better at basketball and I wasn't scared anymore during games. I was so happy and confident. Most importantly, the fear had gone away and I was in control.
    Then I had to take my driving test for the second time. I decided to apply the same mentality which I had applied to basketball to the driving test. I just told myself that I knew how to drive a car and all I needed to do was cast my fears aside and drive the damn car. During the test the examiner was also talking to me and making small talk and I was fine. I passed, easily. No fear!
    One last advice for you as a new driver in the UK - never ever stop learning about driving and the Highway Code! Even today I still go out of my way to learn about how to be a better driver. It's very difficult driving in the UK because the roads can be very complicated and other drivers can be very unkind to you out there too. Please stay safe.

Thank God you never gave up, happy for you , just commit everything on to God to take the wheel which I did

    @diza1926 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I passed on my second attempt. My first examiner failed me based on assumption. He claimed I did everything right except for a delay at a junction. which, according to him, could have caused traffic, confused other drivers or made them break. Non of that happened. Mind you, i didn't have the right of way, but he advised that i had about 2 minutes' advantage to join the main road before the other driver got close.
    Long story short, i registered and passed the following week. When i told my 2nd examiner why I failed the first time, i could see the shock in her face . She just smiled and said, "i understand that some of my colleagues can be really strict, but i can tell you've been driving for a while." She asked if i caused traffic or made anyone horn, i said no, and I joined the main road just after the driver had passed, and that was it.
    Congratulations Tochi. Your resilience is amiable. 🎉🎉👏👏

  • @ChySpace
    @ChySpace 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I need a little prayer now because I just failed my test with 1 serious fault just 2 minutes to the end of my test. I am broken.
    I was looking forward to driving my boy to school this winter. Can I not get a car without the liscence?
    You even tried keeping up here with all that stress.
    I can understand the feelings. I'm so sad.
    It's so time consuming and financial draining doing this over and over again. I'm just fade up with public transport
    The most annoying thing is that finding a new test date is hard. April next 2025, though I have just downloaded the Testi and paid extra money for test cancellation notification. I just hope to do it again this year

    You can definitely put in the hours into being a pilot!! Their is nothing you can't do. You are an epitome of resilience, and that is what I'm taking homebfrom this video. I passed on my 5th attempt, after changing instructor who understood the importance of giving God his place in the whole scenario,no matter the perfection you do in the preparation, God MUST have his place. Also, the instructor told me to do whatever I needed to do to relax the previous night.Easy! I engaged in 1 hr praise session around the P sign in my room, thanking God for my victory. Also in the morning of the test, I was sooooo relaxed, at ease,no fear, I didn't care about the examiner, I was sooo confident in my spirit we had prayed in the car before I went for the test and I passed. I saw God's hand in the whole process.

    The story of my life, failing many times doesn't mean you are a bad driver, failing 2 to 3 times makes you more nervous to the next test but, after that you are became a very good driver after those test. I failed 6 times and I became a very good driver because of failed many times, I was very confident in the road from the day I got my license.

I remember asking my instructor to book my practical after almost 1 1/2 years of working with him, he felt like I wasn’t ready but I keep on telling him that I was ready so eventually he booked it. I passed at first attempt and my instructor was shocked. He then asked me if I owed him any money 🙄 and I was like no. It’s almost like he wanted to keep using me to make more money.

    I taught all three of my children to drive and they only had 4 lessons each then I took over but my daughter took her test 3 times as she has autism and struggled to have a person who she didn’t know but it definitely helps if you are able to have your own car and they all used their own cars what they had saved for and it helped with nerves especially on the test. Congratulations 🙂

    Congratulations on Your Success Tochi 🎉🎉🎉
    This Story reminded me of my IELTS phase in the UK. It kept me Very Sad for a short while though. I never gave up, so I kept on booking and writing the Tests back to back Non-stop, and within the space of 4 months, I got my Positive outcome. I wrote upto 9 times and for an Unknown reason My Reading score was 6.5 for 7 consecutive times.
    I needed a 7.0 in all the bands and I kept getting 8.0 Listening, 7.5 writing and 8.5 speaking respectively and interchangeably all the time, but Reading remained at 6.5 and even when I tried Remarking about 4 times, it didn't favour me either.
    Then I tried booking 2 exams together and that was when I smashed Reading 7.5 in both results.
    Total of 9 IELTS Exams and 2 were successful. 7 tests were condemned because of 0.5 mark in Reading. All the Money for booking/transport/remarking, the Stress, the Time etc. I'm glad I didn't give up because Giving up was not an Option at all.
    This was between September 2021 to December 2021.

I didn’t get the kind of car you said you used, automatic or manual? I heard it’s harder to pass with manual. Then another thing I think could have helped is using your own car that you are used to. I have tried the practical once with my manual car and failed. Hopefully will book again soon.

I let him go, when I passed I texted him yo let him know. I believe he was pained because he never replied back.

    Is good to drive by the book. No examiner intentionally failed anyone. Is worse for those from Nigeria who knows how to drive from home.
    Most of them want to stick to the way they drive back home.
    Follow ur driving instructor's directions, and forget all you know about driving.
    Change driving school if ur current one is not good.
    It is also helpful to practise a test routine to master the road& roundabout very well
