It's far from simple. Hardly anyone ever passes these days because it's fixed and dont believe anyone who tells you it isnt. The way it works it examiners have to keep the waiting times up to around a 6-9 week waiting time so they fail/pass people depending on how many learners they have waiting rather than on your driving ability.
Think about it, would you rather be guaranteed a job for 1 week or 9 weeks? The trouble is nobody can prove it but we all know it happens. So in answer to your questions, how good you are doesnt matter. Its just how many they're allowed to pass each week that matters. Having said that you do need to be reasonably good but trust me, some people who pass are totally dreadfull and they let them through cos they need to get the waiting times down. Some who fail are better than experienced drivers but they just cant pass them cos they'd lose business. Why should they pass you first time when if they fail you a few times you'll have to pay for more tests? At £48.50 a time it makes sense to fail people a few times first.

Hi, if your driving instructor is going to be in the car on the way to your test and either wait for you to do the test or sit in on the test with you then he should drive you home after your test. If you pass your test which i'm sure you will, you wont be able to drive his/her (driving instructors) car again as you will not be insured. If you fail you will still be insured as a learner on the insurance policy and will be able to carry on driving the car as long as the instructor is present. Hope this is of some help!! Good luck and i hope you pass x

The test should be the same 'difficulty' wherever you take it. I haven't been to Stortford for years although I have family there, so I can't comment on the roads but look out for police cars, my sister-in-law hit a police car at the Hockrill lights, bottom of Dunmow Road on her test. She failed by the way. Good Luck.

Surely it doesn't matter where you do your test as the whole content will be exactly the same - wherever? You will do the same things - three point turn - hill start - emergency stop anywhere. If you are new to the area, suggest to your driving instructor that you want your lessons in the area to get used to it.

I did my test in Stortford.. It was between Colchester, Chelmsford or Stortford but my instructor assured me that Strortford was the easiest town to drive in.. Lots of mini roundabouts but the examiner was really nice and I passed first time.. Good Luck!!!!

I would imagine it is as hard as anywhere else in the country. Are there any particular parts that worry you? If so get your instructor to concentrate on them during your lessons.

it's standardised through the UK and it's simple.
It must be because we have so many lousy drivers about
