Wow! I passed first time at Reading and only got 6 minors. My examiner, Nikki, was really nice & the test was over in no time at all. I did a reverse park and also had to do an emergency stop which went fine. Many thanks to David from Blue. He’s a really great instructor & was so patient & supportive throughout.
