These are calls a Driving instructor regularly receives!
With regards the use of a Driving Instructors car for a Practical Driving Test.
Whether you have been taking Driving Lessons with a Driving Instructor or not, if you are not considered safe by the Driving Instructor prior to the Practical Driving Test, then he/she not only has the right, but is also required by the DVSA and Insurance Companies to withdraw the use of their car for a Practical Driving Test.
As Driver Training Professionals, we are expected to present candidates, who are driving to a good, safe standard, which compromises neither the safety of the Driving Examiner nor members of the general public.
Passing your Practical Driving Test is not a case of turning up, hoping that you will get lucky, that's just dangerous, it would also be irresponsible of us Professionals to condone this sort of behaviour.
It MAY be your Practical Driving Test, but it's OUR car, OUR livelihood and, OUR reputation.
Leave the decision to the Professionals of when you will be ready!
STAY SAFE.
