Learner passes manual test with zero minors

Marium Salam passed a manual driving test at the first attempt with zero minors, crediting instructor Afzaal for teaching from the very beginning, in a Trustpilot review dated 29 June 2026.

The pass

The review, written under the name Marium Salam, is clear on the result: a manual test passed first time with no minors. No test centre and no test date are stated, and none is claimed here — 29 June 2026 is the review date, not a claimed test date. The review's title contains the word "sale"; that word is not expanded here into a test-centre claim, because the review names no centre.

What worked for them

In the reviewer's own words, "I passed my manual driving test in first attempt with zero minors with the help of Afzaal bhai." The review credits Afzaal with teaching from scratch, and describes him as professional yet calm, explaining the same things over and over when needed rather than scolding or belittling the learner. Patience and repeated explanation, rather than pressure, are the thread running through the review.

Lesson for other learners

• Learn from the very beginning with an instructor whose explanations you can follow, and ask for things to be explained again when needed.
• Take the test only when your instructor agrees you are ready — a clean first attempt follows preparation, not rushing.
• Book only through the official GOV.UK driving test booking service, and only when your instructor agrees you are ready.
