This is a scam. Do not go for it. They robbed me of £209!
I had the worst experience with DTC UK provided trainer ‘Bill from LSM test hire, at Coventry driving test centre today. He didn't give me a chance to appear for the test. I told him that let them fail me but give me a chance, but he refused. And all this because he had a personal grudge against me.
Yes, you may feel that it's my words against the word of driving instructor. But let me put forward my point of view.
DTC sent me an email with a phone number. It was not mentioned in the email not to call. When I called that number, the instructor says “why did you call. It's common sense not to call. Are you stupid?” He was arrogant the entire time.
I complained about it with DTC. They didn’t change my instructor. So, he took revenge on the test day. He messed up my test.
He came for the test with a decision already made against me. And tried everything possible to make me suffer.
He gave wrong instructions. He misguided me. He gave wrong road number to follow signs for which didn’t exist there. He gave instructions when I was in the middle of the roundabout.
He asked me how many blind spots are there. When I said 2 and explained to him. He said you are absolutely wrong. How did you even dare to come for an exam. I told him about parallel park, bay park, reverse park and emergency stop. He still kept saying you are missing things. You are not ready for the test. I kept convincing him that I can do all this really well practically. But he didn’t give me a chance to do so. For practice of parking, he purposefully took me to an inclined road and busy road. Just so that he could say I have made a mistake.
He kept confusing me and disturbing me while I was driving. I used to pause talking to focus on roundabout. He kept pinching why are you not answering.
He kept bombarding me with questions but didn't see how I was driving. His focus was to fail me by asking questions but not on how I was driving. He succeeded. He used his power and misused it against me. I was helpless.
He was demotivating me for entire 45 minutes. He did not give me the promised 1 hour session. I was polite entire time, but he was rude. Disrespectful.
The following are some of his gems:
• You're asking for my help. (Whereas we are paying for their services)
• Educated people like you how can you act so stupidly.
Condition of the car-
1. The clutch pedal was loose.
2. The gear shifting was hard.
3. The car was very very old
4. The car was in a filthy condition and was not maintained well
5. The AC wasn’t switched ON
6. The clutch setting was so bad that I had to pull my foot all the way up to make it move in 1st gear
He also asked me to call my instructor from other town right in the middle of session. What's the point of availing this service if they're not allowing you to appear for the test.
As I said at the beginning, it’s my word against his word. So, you are free to judge yourself. But I would strongly NOT recommend this service.
