Driving test stories - Update 2

   As part of our regular blogs detailing some of our clients who have unfortunately not been successful, we explain what went wrong in these tests, to share with you in order for our followers to have more of an idea towards the errors which can lead to driving test failure.

Case study 1-

       During minute 26 of the driving test, the candidate was instructed to follow the road ahead at the approaching roundabout. This particular roundabout had 3 lanes, the left lane contained an arrow showing that only traffic turning left should use this lane, the middle/right lane showed arrows indicating that these lanes should be used for following the road. The candidate incorrectly selected the left lane on the approach to the roundabout, and tried to follow the road ahead resulting in a following motorist beeping as the candidate crossed their path.


Remedy - 

        Selecting the wrong lane is not worthy of a fail in itself, however not realising it is the wrong is a dangerous fault. If you realise you are in the wrong lane, continue in the lane and follow the traffic signs for that lane, then look for a suitable place to perform a u-turn further down where you are, (use the next roundabout for a legal u-turn). If you go down the wrong route in the exam, inform the examiner so that they know you are aware of your mistake and they will guide you towards another roundabout to make a u-turn, if this unfortunate candidate had taken the left as the lane showed, and turned around at another roundabout, they would have been successful!

Cheap driving lessons in Hayes, Southall, Greenford, Uxbridge, Hounslow and surrounding west london areas.

   So you seen those banners flashing around, 10 hours for £99, 5 for £56 and your thinking, this is a no brainer! Why pay silly prices like £25 an hour when I can get the same thing for half the price? WRONG! If you ever speak to someone who has taken advantage of these offers, youll more often than not get the same response, that the lessons were of poor quality and hardly any driving took place in these lessons. They are there to reel you in like a fish in a pond, hence the cheap price.

    We dont have these cheap driving lesson offers at Fineline Driving Academy, although the word 'affordable' is a word we use. You see, we dont charge inflated rates like some of these national driving schools do, or amazingly low prices like some of the local schools, but simply a flat rate of £20 an hour and no more. Well give you your first hour free to show that were not bluffing when we say our driving lessons are of a premium quality, and if you want to book in blocks then more discounts can be provided, this can be discussed with your instructor. Heres a complicated mathematical look at the problem with cheap driving lessons;


60 cheap driving lessons at £15 each = £900

30 premium driving lessons with Fineline Driving Academy including free first lesson at £20 each = £580


    So dont hang about, if your going to learn how to drive then you want to get the job done right first time and give us a ring. 0800 689 9558 or 07446 350 220, Fineline Driving Academy where you can get premium driving lessons at affordable prices!

Driving test stories - update 1

     As part of Fineline driving academys attempts to interact with a nation of learner drivers, we like to share stories about driving tests which our instructors have been present in, in order to ensure you know what to expect in terms of things that will result in a pass/fail result. Every week, our instructors have a meeting where various items are discussed and any changes or improvements taking place at the driving school are shared, we also discuss the results of any driving tests taken during that week. Please use this for reference only, remember, every examiner is different and therefore something deemed a minor fault for some cases can be a serious/dangerous fault for another examiner.


Case study 1 -
                 During minute 23 of the driving test, a meeting situation arose where a double decker bus wanted to pass and there was not enough room for both the driving test candidate and the bus to pass at the same time. The bus drove around the parked car on their side of the road, however the driving test candidate did the same and thus causing the examiner to brake and fail the test by acquiring a serious fault in the 'meeting' segment of the driving test marking sheet.

Remedy -    When a meeting situation arises, if the vehicle you are waiting for is some distance away, then you should take the initiative to pass the parked vehicle safely ensuring you have check the center/right mirrors when overtaking and center/left when returning to your normal driving position. If you feel the other feel may cause you a problem, wait for them to go around their obstruction first, and in this case the vehicle in question was a large vehicle and therefore some extra vigilance should be applied. A bit more patience and this learner would have a full license!


Case study 2 -
                During minute 7 of the exam, the examiner instructed the driving test candidate to take the next road on the right. The road in question had a small section in the middle of the road to wait in if you are turning right that allows vehicles behind to pass on your left safely. The driving test candidate failed to notice this turning section and stopped in the same position with his indicator on and caused tailing traffic to beep.

Remedy -     If turning right into a road and there is a section containing a right arrow in the middle of the road, you must use this to wait in if there is oncoming traffic whose path you are about the cross. The reason for this section is to wait in, (normally the road is quite busy and doesnt need obstructions to cause). Try to plan ahead to avoid this situation happening, the examiner will give you plenty of notice if your are turning right, so check on approach if there is a waiting space and move into it if you can, if there is no oncoming traffic to wait for then simply take the turning as you normally would in a safe and controlled manner.
