His subsequent visit to Manchester turned out to be more exciting when he went on a date with a girl from the Sidemen 20v1 video wearing a $14,000 outfit. Let’s dive in to know how Speed’s driver’s license test went.
IShowSpeed takes the driver’s license test and fails terribly
Speed recently planned to take a driver’s license test on stream. He was extremely excited to take the test as soon as possible because of his plans to move out of his mother’s house. Yet, it was apparent that the streamer still had a lot to learn about driving.
Darren’s license test was a complete mess. He did not know and follow the speed limits within the first few seconds of the test. He proceeded to make several other mistakes during the test, including using a mobile and singing while driving. Additionally, the streamer used harsh and emergency braking and did not understand how the signaling system works in his country.
His driver’s test went completely sideways when he drove the car off the road and almost crashed it. Speed was also not successful in parallel parking and reverse parking his car which went against his favor of passing the test. The instructor stated after his test that he was forced to fail him because of multiple reasons. He also included that Speed will have to reschedule the test, practice a little more, and take the test again.
While Speed tried to convince the instructor to allot him the passing results, the instructor stated that his driving was completely unsafe, and included that there were a couple of terrifying moments while traveling with him.
The streamer immediately took $5000 out of his pocket, handed it over to the instructor, and explained that he had to get a driver’s license. Speed’s fans and viewers were in shock when the instructor immediately accepted the money and stated that he could pass him for sure. The instructor further instructed him to take the results sheet to the office the next day and get his license.
Speed’s fans show complete disbelief about the driver’s license test
Multiple clips from Speed’s driver’s license test were uploaded on various social media sites. The clips went viral in just a couple of hours but his fans were in complete disbelief of the test. They were hesitant to accept that the test was real and multiple people stated that the complete test was completely staged for entertainment.
This is all fake and staged there’s no driver instructor going to let you drop your seat all the way back. Second of all the driver instructor would not say it’s ok that’s automatic fail. 🤡🤡

Definitely staged. Pretty sure no one else is allowed in the vehicle aside from the driver (test taker) and the examiner. I doubt any examiner would also allow for a fully reclined backrest.

staged and fake you aren’t allowed to have cameras or phones streaming

They also pointed out multiple points that proved the test was fake. Viewers stated that no driving instructor would allow reclining the car seat completely and a few also mentioned that no one else is allowed inside the car while taking a test, it has to be the driver and the instructor. A Twitter user explained that usage of phones and cameras, filming, or streaming was also completely prohibited during a license test.
