This ain’t no April Fool’s
It ain’t no country club either
This is LA…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US!!!

We are 15 years old today! 🥳 Scott Mills would love us. 🥰 (Gonna need Aldi’s legal team for that one)

That means that just over 15 years ago I qualified as an ADI. I’m really starting to get the hang of it! 👋 7 million first time passes and zero fails says so too! (Ok, that bit got a bit April Fool’sy) The DVSA reckon I’m the kiddy too, as they’ve put me in the small percentage of the nation’s top instructors. Man’s an A Grade, innit. 💁‍♂️ (Although no one even knows we’re graded 🥴) The DVSA also confirmed that I’m the best looking instructor on the register too. 💅 (Ok, I got a little slippery with the truth at the end there)

Across those 15 years, you can imagine my car has seen many many tears. All mine. 😭

From everyone here at Rich Conisbee Driving Instruction (as I sit here alone in my pants, icing an elderly knee and eating a small cupcake), we thank you for your love and support, Brackley and surrounding areas. 🙏 You’re the reason we continue to do this. But mainly because I’ve got bills to pay, and mountain bikes and wine ain’t cheap.

Have a blessed day. 🎂

Not that it’ll happen, and it is also NOT about road safety, but I’d welcome the proposed six months between driving theory and practical tests. It would have an impact on the booking system.

It would feel unfair on some, but six months is a pretty normal route to a licence. So pass your theory as soon as you turn 17, and book a test for six months time, just moving it back if you then require more time.

What this would stop, is Test Centre Tourists. Dad thinking 6 months is outrageous, when although his son/daughter has just about managed to reverse a car in a straight line, has managed to find a test next week in *insert town that son/daughter hadn’t even heard of before dad hit the jackpot*.

I am fed up with sitting in the waiting room with parents, announcing ‘hope he passes this time, this is the fifth centre we’ve been to. What do you think the problem is with booking tests?’

Mate!!!

Cue a bunch of middle-aged men saying ‘but you should be able to drive anywhere! And also drive in snow! And also be able to replace the gearbox on a ‘67 Chevrolet! 😩’.

Is that right, Tony. Test day is already nervy AF. Your mrs won’t drive if it involves a busy town centre that she doesn’t know, think about that…

Please, for the love of good, let the vandalising of our streets stop! 😩

Getting out of hand now. French flag painted on the Springfield Way roundabout.

I fudged his name up, but stuff him, he’s an idiot.

Great teaching aid. Who thinks this is a decent following distance at 70mph?

2 seconds is the minimum. We actually sit at 2.5, as anyone taught by me will tell you we count ‘one Mississippi, two Mississippi, boom!’ as we pass that same marker.

So it’d actually be three times the gap in this view.

Stay safe, San Diego, keep Gas from rear-ending you.

Not gonna lie, L plate fans, I am finding myself quite frustrated with the standard of driving from the general public at the mo. It had been a little over five years since someone drove into the back of one of my learners, but then around ten weeks ago, a lady drove into the back of one of my learners after he stalled. Oh, and to rub salt into the wound, after finally having the repair and replacement vehicle sorted, someone drove into the back of the replacement vehicle this week after my pupil didn’t set off as soon as they could have onto a roundabout.

Below is the cost of the replacement vehicle being charged to the other party. That’s nearly 3k for 17 days use of a two year old Micra, probably only worth about 10k itself. This is the real reason all your premiums are shooting up; ‘claims handlers’ ripping each other off. This is without probably a couple of grand for the repair, plus solicitor fees.

So here’s a top idea, instead of everyone bitching about insurance premiums, let’s just normalise looking where you’re effin going. Hows about just waiting for the car in front, that you’ve stopped six inches from, to actually move off, before you set off. Genius, I know. Oh, and also, if it’s got a sodding big red L on the back - it probably ain’t being driven by Lewis Hamilton. Oh! And whilst we’re here, if you are sat behind a learner at a roundabout, and they aren’t setting off as soon as you could have, or they stall, and you start beeping your horn, or shouting, or flailing your arms about - you’re a p***k, pack it in.

Sorry for the long rant, and to all you good folk, who are patient with learners, who do show us respect, especially all you cuties who smile and give us a thumbs up when you pass us after a learner has been really nervous because we’re holding you up by practicing a parallel park or something… thank you. It doesn’t go unnoticed . ❤️

Afternoon, L plate fans.

Don’t listen to all the others. It’s us that is taking on the wall in Banbury now the pigeon has gone on Bridge Street. 👌

Splendid day to you, L plate fans.

Some of you may have noticed I’ve gone for a different style of nodder on my roof. I’d had to go incognito for a while. Hasn’t worked by the looks of things…

Good evening, L plate fans.

On a recent poll, 100% of people surveyed* agreed that Rich Conisbee Driving Instruction was the greatest driving school in the land.

We are humbled, elated and shooketh to the core to receive such an accolade. Blessed. ❤️

*both ticked ‘strongly agree’

L plate fans, it is Baltic out there! 🧊

Dunno about you, but man’s not walking about in this no more. 🥶

Team Conisbee have been knocking their tests out of the park on mass, so have vacated their seats in way for the next crop of driving superstars.

If I’ve told you I couldn’t help, or I haven’t got back to you, feel free to message again with days/times you were hoping for, and I can let you know if I can help now.

You stay warm, San Diego. 🧣
