After failing his last driving test, Janis did what thousands of learners across the UK are being forced to do right now — he took the only driving test he could get, even though it was miles from home.
This time, the test was booked in Tilbury, a place Janis had never driven before. New roads. New test routes. A new examiner. And the pressure of knowing this could be his final chance after months of lessons, mock tests, and setbacks.
In this video, you’ll see:
🚗 The full build-up to a real driving test after failing
🧠 How nerves and pressure affect driving test performance
📍 What it’s like taking a driving test at Tilbury Driving Test Centre
❌ The common mistakes learners make after a failed driving test
✅ How to mentally reset and give yourself the best chance second time round
This is the final chapter in Janis’ driving journey — from learning to drive from scratch, through failed mock tests and a real test failure, to booking a last-chance test miles away just to get another shot.
If you’ve failed your driving test, are struggling to find a test slot, or are considering booking a test far from home because of the driving test backlog, this video shows the real emotional and practical reality of doing exactly that.
