A massive well done (and I know there's also a massive sigh of relief about not having to go through it again!) to Sophia Hughes from Beaminster.

We've had some interruptions with University and Sophia only arrived home last night, sat the test today and returned to Uni this evening. So it was really rewarding to see Sophia pass today, and a very respectable pass it was, too. The examiner even made a point of complementing Sophia on her driving.

Enjoy your freedom, you've very much earned it!

A huge 'well done' to Emily Bonsall from Bridport who earned her pass today in Dorchester.

A very solid and competent driver and one it has been a pleasure to get to know.....Emily is one of the most interesting people I've had the pleasure to teach. I'm possibly biased because 2 of my biggest interests are F1 and Space Exploration.....Emily is a genuine and knowledgeable F1 fan and has a PhD in Martian Geology......so that's a mic drop for her! 🤣

Congrats again, Emily and the very best of luck for what you have ahead of you, later this year 😉

Well done to Megan from Lyme Regis who nailed a first time pass today in Dorchester, today!

Everyone learns at different speeds and there's no 'right' amount of lessons. However, Megan is definitely on the lower end of lessons needed, passing with an impressive 36 hours of lessons. A very natural driver!

I'll leave it to you to argue with your sister as to who's the best driver....you both did great!

Massively proud of the effort from Jade today. An almost perfect test pass with just one minor driving fault, but to do so from a position of REALLY struggling with nerves, makes it all the bigger accomplishment! Properly well done!

"First on approach" 🤣 (IYKYK!)

Keep in touch and enjoy your well earned freedom! 😄

A massive well done to Danny Kirkham from West Bay, who flew through his test this morning with a very respectable 3 driving faults. Great effort mate!

Danny has done it right though, he bought himself a brand new car in anticipation of his pass, and he'll no doubt be posing in it within a few days!

Huge congratulations to Chanelle Williams, who passed her practical test today, on the first attempt!

Just in time for an 18th birthday and a mega holiday - as months go, she's having a blinder! Get that Mini insured and enjoy!

Well done, Chanelle!

Double test day, today!

Early in the day, Ava Stordy from Bridport did amazingly well to compose herself and pass her practical test on the first attempt!

Then, just after lunch, Frankie Hodge did exactly the same, except he went into the 'show offs' club, passing first time, with zero faults!

Amazing effort from you both, properly well done! Enjoy your freedom.

If you're looking to get started with driving lessons, please feel free to get in touch, as places are coming free in the near future (largely because of amazing efforts from the likes of these guys today!)

Well done to a very camera shy, but very chuffed, Michael from Bridport! 🤣

Another 1st time pass with just 2 minors. Well done Michael, keep smiling, even if we can't see it!

Another 1st time pass! Amazing job today by Lois Hodge from Bridport. We had a bit of a panic just before the test but all credit to Lois, she drew a deep breath, sat back and nailed her test, picking up just 2 minors!

It's always a real treat to see the emotional release and realisation of how life changing, passing your test can be and today was a perfect example of that.

Well done Lois, very proud of you!

Kudos to Evie for getting the Christmas grinch to sing a Christmas song! 😂
