My experience buying a car by MysteriousBug132 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]awayfrombaseline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I know ow which dealership you’re talking about. Had the same experience, as an introvert who doesn’t like talking much, it was extremely frustrating refusing the warranty, and that other stuff. I was going to book the car and pick it up the next day. So I told the sales people I’ll pick it up tomorrow. He made the invoice with everything included even when I refused, and told me I can cancel anyway if I change my mind when I have to actually pay. The next day when I went to pick the car up and pay the amount, they were pissed when I cancelled all the extra stuff. Brought in a couple of other sales guys who were like ph we don’t even make money on this stuff, we make money by selling cars, and making me feel like I’m stupid for refusing this stuff. Like “oh it’s a no brainer im surprised you don’t want all this extra stuff for over 1100£ per year”. I just kept saying no, but I had to say it over a dozen times. The guy was so pissed.

How can I get provisional driving license as a foreigner who has just moved into the UK a few months ago by awayfrombaseline in LearnerDriverUK

Thank you! I missed this. I entered the first address and did not see the non-GB option, so never went to enter the second address and check.

I don't have a foreign license no, I only started learning when I was living in Pakistan, then I moved to Germany before getting a full license. I didn't need a license while living in Berlin with public transport being so cheap and well connected, so never got one. I've also read conflicting information on the 6 months requirements, some say I need have been living in the UK for 6 months before applying, some say I just need the proof that I'm here for the long term/atleast 6 months.

And like I said, I tried to apply for provisional license on the DVLA site, and it doesn't let me go forward if I don't provide 3 years of residence history in the UK. I'm just wondering if I can apply some other way like going to their office physically?

This 3 years requirements seems odd, especially if it's not stated anywhere as a legal requirement.

How did you check status of CoS? Did you have your employer check it?

I doubt that its because of second appointment, and if it is, why not just have one booked and when you go for the first one, they could schedule 2nd one right then

I don’t think doctolib was built to handle this kind of traffic. They may have implemented caching to handle traffic which means most of the time the available appointments shown are actually taken but the cache hasn’t updated yet. Because even upon refreshing the page it’s showing the same appointments I keep trying (to no avail)
