Daytime running lights are exactly that – to make yourself visible on the road during the daytime. 🚗

They’re too bright for night driving and don’t light the back of your car.

So SWITCH YOUR HEADLIGHTS ON when it’s getting dark, unless yours are automated.

Check your car’s manual to see if they are.

And read Rule 113 of the Highway Code in case you’ve forgotten how they work 📖

UbLer

I am launching a new business venture so
basically its a combination of driving lessons and taxi driving !!!
I've created an app to allow the opportunity to be a taxi whilst on lessons. So while I’m driving around on a lesson you can "ping" me on your phone to get me to pick you up and take you for example, shopping. The pupil driving on their lesson gets real world driving and parking experience and at the same time lots of happy customers driven around by a cheerful learner (instead of the usual grumpy fellas).
The first customer Millie Deavin said "What a wonderful idea, I felt so relaxed being driven by such a lovely young lady and she even helped me with my shopping !!"

The app costs £10/month. Use the code APR01 for a 50% discount on your first month 👍🏻😊🚘

Now, what do you think it takes to become a driving instructor?

Like many, you've probably no idea and that's ok.

So let me tell

There are 3 parts/tests we have to pass.

Part 1 - Advanced Theory
Part 2 - Advanced Driving
Part 3 - Instructional Ability

The pass rate at Part 3 right now is somewhere between just 30-40%

Training to qualify costs a lot of money and that is not including the extras spent on CPD

We invest hours into our own driving ability and our teaching toolkits to deliver as much as we can to the highest of standards.

The industry is extremely extensive and our learning does not simply stop once we qualify its continuous

So parents who take learners away from us after a failed first attempt at test, or those who think we don't matter as it's just about passing a test as quickly as possible please be sure that with the roads in the hurried state they're in today, we are needed more than ever and vital to the life-long safety of your children once out there on the roads alone.

Learning to drive is a life SKILL that if done INCORRECTLY CAN KILL !!

We are an investment into your child -
to prevent them becoming another
heart-wrenching statistic none of us want 😢

PLEASE RESPECT US as we are doing our best to protect your child and make them safe independent drivers for life NOT JUST A TEST
