Hi guys I passed my driving lessons my second time on the 15th of July with two minors ( failed my first attempt on the 25th of june, cut the last corner to the test centre. Literally the last minute of the test).

I had 3 hrs Training in April then switched instructors and had 14hrs with my new instructor ( block booking savend me a few) before my first attempt and had just 2hrs a day before my second attempt plus 1hr on the test date. I also watched a lot of YouTube videos about driving mistakes, mock tests etc. About 100 hrs of YouTube. ( I know I am a YouTube addict)

Got my insurance today with admiralty ( not black box but similar, I get a device I plug into 12v power outlet for 6months and send it back to them) for roughly 1300.

Got my first car off a friend nissan note.


Things to note.

1 I got a 650-800 quotes when I was shopping for insurance with my provisional license, as I have had it for close to 2 years. But when I passed and was shopping for insurance I couldn't get anything below 1300..

2. Passing the test is just about being calm and relaxed, a few minors won't fail you. If you are on sure just wait and take your time to decide ( a lot of faults come from poor planning.


Good luck everyone.

Just got my provisional driving licence,... Learning mode activated �

DaveChapelle:
Good idea...please takeur first application very seriously, if they deny it, it will always come up on future application. i would suggest you even use an immigration lawyer to make sure it is water tight....alsonote, Home office don't refund visa money....so you don't fund summer holiday for their staff....They have chop about 5 applications for my mum and brother....very painful

Hmm.. I will do as you have said. Thank you very much for your advice.

@STENON, I don't think it's serious enough for you to use an immigration lawyer for a visitor visa. I am on tier 2 and applied for my folks last year with virgin passport and they got their visas. I've also just applied for my mum and brother this year too.
If your parents are paying for their trip themselves, then either yourself or your aunt can invite them. If their trip is being sponsored, then let the person paying invite them. Important things to note:
1. Funds - plan their budget well and ensure whoever is paying for their trip isn't spending a large % of their income or savings on the trip.
2. Proof that they will return back home - do they have jobs/businesses/investments/dependents/etc - make sure you include evidence of these in their application.
3. Try to make sure there are no large deposits in any of the bank statements you're submitting. If there are, then make sure you explain the source of the money in a cover letter.
Also, read through the uk visitor visa thread https://www.nairaland.com/5233246/general-uk-visa-enquiries-part/27 There's a goldmine of useful information there. If you have specific questions, post it there so you can get more relevant responses.

I really appreciate this response. Thanks so much for taking your time to explicitly explain the process for me. I do hope you enjoy the rest of your day

Donmike09:
Congratulations bro!
Please, kindly attend to your PM message from me. Thanks.

This is Canadian thread and got this message from you. Hi, How can I help?


Hello stenon,

Donmike09 would like to send you an email message, but since you're not connected, you'll need to contact Donmike09 by replying this email.

Nairaland Team,

I think you should be able to invite them yourself, especially, since you re inviting them for your wedding. Only that, they need to provide their pension account, their savings account and any investments they have in Nigeria. You will also attach your statement of account here, BRP, account in Nigeria if you have, showing that you send money to them often. Then, your birth certificate which will show they are your parents and most importantly, make sure there is enough funds in the account you want to present. If any of these cannot be met, then, maybe your aunt will be in the best position to invite them.
That’s the only advice I can give. Others can contribute also

Thanks so very much for the information. My apology for late response please

My People, Hustle o... So that you won't be having 3 likes and 1 comment on your post

Goodmorning , I am a MSc student on tier 4 visa. I want to invite both Dad and Mum(Both Retired Teachers, Pensioners) over for my wedding, is it okay for me to apply for tourist visa so they can attend the wedding or just send an invitation for wedding? My Aunt. who is a British Citizen is suggesting of sending my Mum and Dad an Invitation by herself for holiday just for them to come in during that wedding period. Thanks and I look Forward for your suggestions

Marytee2:
I was worried because my mum is a pensioner and she doesn’t have much in her account. All I did was to attach my own statement of account and said I would be responsible for all her spending. I live in the Uk, just want her to visit.
Congratulations to your mum and dad. Thanks once again.

Some topics are just comic relief...

You don't love her, but you were having sex with her.
You don't see future in her, yet you always accept her back at anytime she apologizes

You'r processing your visa, yet you won't let her rest with your sexual demands...

SMH !!!

Now you are abroad and you have twins awaiting you in Nigeria.


Bro, Your village people have finally picked your call, You better start buying pampers and twins clothes.


I just hope your story won't be like Regina Daniel's Father in the nearest future.

Scam!!!

Unbelievable

Lexusgs430:

How would an engaged and occupied mind, find the time to conduct themselves negatively..........

The Devil would always find a job, for the jobless hand and mind.........

I am not shaking tables o.........

yes o... most especially when you are on 8am to 8pm workshifts. Nairaland and my naija whatsapp is a good place for cracking up my ribs during the 15 minutes/30minutes break at work...

Lexusgs430:
If I tell you say nah microwave love i get for you......... Nah fake love b dat o..........

If i warm this chinchin, how would i chop hot chinchin, and by the time it's gone cold, it hardens up again......

Oya send price list, because i know say if i dm you, you no go reply...........

Lols Only warm the one you will be eating.. the full jar is just 10pounds, minus delivery. You are the big boss

LaaJiblik:

Lexusgs430:

Amen. Be praying for me too Bro Lexus

Rubyventures:
What Oga Lexus is saying is join your work union, so that if you have conflict with the management, they will help youout. Some to the extent of paying your court fees incase you end up in court and they will even go on strike for you etc.

Thank you. You knw he didnt quote me but just posted his message after mine and I was trying to make a wide guess about what he was trying to say. Thanks so much for the explanation

Lexusgs430:
You would not appreciate their worth until, an allegation is levied, been bullied, suspended or investigated............

I am still finding it very difficult to comprehend the information you have been trying to pass across

Lexusgs430:
Hurrah....... You finally got that job.......

Remember, also join a UNION...............

umarwy:
Search for Ashley Neal and dgn driving school on YouTube.

They have a lot of videos highlighting common mistakes and some full mock driving test

Thanks so very much bro

dejt4u:
I'm doing good ma'am.. how is Europe?? and how is studies generally..?

Goodmorning and happy new month to you sir. I was away since yesternight and.just checking online now. My apology for the late response. I am doing fine and studies has been going great. How are you too and how is life in general sir?

dejt4u:
hello STENON. How are you doing??

Boss !! Longest time , I am fine, how have you been sir?

RalphJean:
No be argument matter.
You are potentially passing wrong information.
Don’t compare apples and lemons.

Are you telling me that £350 in Edinburgh or Glasgow (Scotland) will give me a ‘comfortable’ living than in Hull or Leicester or Bradford or Brighton or Cornwall (England)?

Really?

You know what your ‘problem’ is?
You seem to think that England = London and London = England

Even in your Scotland, £350 in Inverness vs £350 in Glasgow no be mates.

I agree with you bro. You are very right. But my conclusion is " Most things in Scotland are cheaper than England ". The equivalent town/cities/capitals in Scotland/England, no be mate. Angel, how the heat weather for your side?
