So sorry about this, only one serious fault o 😕.
When you say "and going forward with the journey " do you mean that since you have found yourself in the middle (or first lane for example) you should have just taken the first or second exit rather than proceeding to the third?

Yes, that would be the best thing to do because you don’t get any fault for going the wrong way

Just failed practical driving test… I failed due to staying on the middle lane instead of last lane for a 3rd exit roundabout and going forward with the journey and the woman examiner doesn’t even smile a bit throughout the 45 minutes journey…

We go again, no wahala…

🙄🙄🙄

Sorry o... go again... you go pass am.

Women no dey smile sha.

I continued with the journey since I was taught by my instructor that you must continue the journey, the satnav will re-route you, cutting back to the other lane in a busy roundabout without due caution might cause a serious accident, so they advice you always continue with the journey. But to my dismay, examiners remark was different…. My instructor asked me to make a complaint through the email I received, but I just let go cos that won’t solve anything…

It’s really painful bro, I felt sad

Used my instructors, those people can report you if you drive your car there and fail. They will watch you drive your car away from the center then call the police, saying you failed but you still driving your car. If you are sure of passing or have someone with full license go with you, you can use your car bro…

What A Day!

Took my theory test today.

Guess what! I failed...😃

And no, it wasn't the multiple choice questions (45/50), it was the hazard perception (37/70).

At clip 6, it flagged my clicking pattern. Marks were lost for that. Took caution and simply clicked on the real danger...the result na 37 ooo. My lesson: the exam click pattern is totally different from the 4-in-1 pattern.

I'm really pained😭 cos I messed up, having to queue again for their endless test dates.

Can't remember the last time I failed an exam/test.🤪

No wahala! We go again, this time with a bang!

Searched today for flights using Qatar airways and was quoted in naira. Maybe because departure was from Los. I searched using Google Los to dxb, was looking for Dubai flight, clocked on Qatar airways one of the results of the search and prices were in naira.

CAC is an indigenous Nigerian church so they might do services in Yoruba. Do a search for their website.
There're at least two in North London I think. Though I know one had a fire and when I passed a few weeks ago it was still being repairs or so.

I learnt today that if you want to use your car, you should not drive there alone with provisional licence, someone has to join/drive you there. Try to find out about this.

Try watch some youtube videos then practice with 4-in-1.

It's not like the click pattern is different, 4-in-1 teaches you to click everything even road sign and bend instead of the actual hazard.

The double click strategy helps alot too.

Good evening elders!

Please Let me paint a scenarion, I need advice.

You do a partnership business in naija, but not in your name.

Proceeds come and you decide to collect money in Fx.

Can they send the money to my REVOLUT or LLOYD bank?

Will UKVI or HMRC query the source or expect me to pay tax on it?

Is it a crime to earn money from outside the UK?

If the narration comes as something unofficial, will it raise brows?

I don fail theory test twice and it’s always the mcq both times I scored 40 and 42 but I always smash the hazard perception 60 and 64 respectively. Don’t click too much and also make to click on time.

I will get that info. All I did was to go pick it up at Peckham. The phone number I had to call for pick up was 07915243229. Their office address here is Covenant Air and Sea Cargo Ltd, 9 Peckham Park Rd, London SE15 6TR.

Overall, the service was fair. Goods arrived intact and on time, so I can't really complain.
