I’ve genuinely enjoyed every lesson with Ollie. He’s worked incredibly hard, listened, learned, and absolutely deserved this result.

This copied from a fellow Instructor but how true it is!

A good reminder to parents of any pupils starting to learn to drive ..........

Driving in the 80s

When most of us were learning to drive it took on average 10 hours to pass the test. Most had been behind the wheel in a farm, or in a yard of their dads or grandads friend.

👉 Reverse parking was not taught.
👉 There was no Theory Test.
👉 There was no hazard perception test.
👉 There was no independent drive section.
👉 There were no show me/tell me questions.
👉 There were no/very few bus lanes.
👉 There were no red routes.
👉 There were no/very few cycle lanes.
👉 There were no advanced stop lines.
👉 Cyclists were taught cycling proficiency at school.
👉 Pedestrians were taught the Green X Code.
👉 There were more police enforcing driving standards. Nobody used a mobile phone!
👉 There were less vehicles on the road.
👉 There were hardly any cars parked on roadsides.
👉 Most had never heard the term "road rage". It did not exist.
👉 There were no speed humps, 20 zones, "chicanes" or other traffic "calming" measures. They were not needed.
👉 other drivers gave space and time while learners were in view.
👉 There were less/no mini roundabouts/double mini roundabouts.
👉 Roads were better maintained with signs and line markings you could actually see, and pot holes had not been invented.
👉 Supermarkets were not open 24/7 and closed on Sundays so you could always use their car parks for some initial practice.
👉 The test only lasted about 30 minutes.

Your children have so much more to deal with than you ever did so please show them respect, don't pressurise them due to the cost, ask yourself, are you putting a value on their life?

All I ask is to just give them the support they deserve for just attempting to learn to drive on todays roads yet alone facing the dreaded L test.

The question is, would you pass your driving test if I asked you to sit a mock test tomorrow?

What a fabulous achievement on a lovely sunny Wednesday afternoon. Wishing you many happy miles, new adventures, and the freedom that comes with being out on the road.

Drive carefully, stay focused, and always think ahead. Safe driving is the key to enjoying every journey.

Well done – you’ve earned it! 🌞👏

DVSA UPDATE ON DRIVING TESTS !!

Taking stronger action against those breaking the rules
As you know, from 12 May 2026 only learner drivers have been allowed to book, change, swap or cancel a car driving test.

This rule change has given us new powers to take direct action against those who misuse the booking service. And we are using those powers to make things fairer for all learner drivers.

Cancelling driving tests
We have started to cancel driving test that we have identified as being booked or managed outside of the new rules.

So far, we have cancelled 450 tests.

They were cancelled as they were booked using a payment card that has been used to pay for lots of driving tests for different learner drivers. This means that the tests were not booked by the learner driver taking the test. Our terms and conditions allow us to cancel tests where this happens.

We are continually monitoring the booking service and will keep cancelling tests where we have evidence of bookings made in breach of the law and our terms and conditions.

This will not stop.

We have placed 4,034 online booking suspensions on the system
A suspension means the driving licence holder can no longer book or manage tests online. They will need to call our customer service centre instead.

We’ve also updated our guidance to confirm that a suspension stays in place for 12 months.

We have reported apps to Apple and Google
We have successfully removed 17 apps from on the Apple and Google platforms that break the terms and conditions of our booking service. We will continue to monitor the platforms and report any new apps to have them removed as well.

Help us get the message to your pupils
Please remind your pupils of 3 simple things:

Do not use unofficial apps or websites to find or book a test slot.
Do not book a test through anyone on social media.
Only ever use GOV.UK - it is free and secure.
If they ignore this advice, the consequences are serious.

DVSA can suspend their online booking access. Their test can be cancelled. They could lose hundreds of pounds with no way to get it back.

And once they hand over their personal data to a scammer, they have no control over what happens to it.

We’ve published guidance for your pupils about this.

Find out more about the risks of unofficial driving test booking services and social media scams.

Thank you for your continued support in helping to make the system fairer for every learner.

GOV.UK - The best place to find government services and information.

Huge congratulations to Leyton Matthew’s on passing his driving test today — and doing it first time with a perfect drive! 🚗🎉

To achieve that in absolutely miserable, rainy conditions makes it even more impressive. You kept your focus, stayed calm, and showed exactly what you’re capable of. A fantastic result and thoroughly deserved.

It has been an absolute pleasure teaching you to drive and watching your confidence and skills grow along the way. You’ve worked hard for this moment, and I’m delighted to see it all pay off.

Wishing you many years of happy, safe motoring and plenty of great adventures on the road ahead. Enjoy your well-earned freedom — you’ve earned every bit of it!

Well done again, and drive safely! 👏🚘
