DRIVE 4 LIFE

21/04/2026

Hi all,

He doesn't know this is coming :)

My name is Kirsty, I am one of Craig's past pupils.

I had been learning to drive for years, but due to family circumstances, I had to stop my lessons. Eventually I was in a position to restart my lessons, I had already met Craig through church, and decided that Craig was going to be my new instructor.

When I started Craig's pupil base was quite small. I helped him get his page up & running and while i was learning to drive, at the end of my lessons I would put a summary of how my lesson went, on here, just so that the next lot of pupils would know that they are not alone & ever since I've watched him go from strength to strength. He's overcome alot in the time that I've known him, this is just another obstacle.

'MR B:' I will never forget the confidence you had in me when i was learning to drive with you. You gave me the confidence not to just drive but to drive for life. Even though you're no longer my instructor I still come to you when I have questions.

Yes, you do my head in sometimes but I know that I can always leave you at the side of the road. ;)

You are one amazing gentleman & I am so glad to have made a life-long friend.

See you tomorrow Mr B :D

God Bless everyone.

On the 21st April 2010 I qualified as a driving instructor or a 'driver coacher educator 'lol!
I couldn't have done it without the Help of Ged and Claire Wilmot who like myself were passionate and dedicated to their cause.
I took on extra driving courses and qualifications to help better equip me in helping others to learn how to drive -
I loved and specialized in teaching people who thought outside the box as one way of teaching isn't for all!

I absalutly loved what I did especially when I qualifying as a Disability Driving instructor.

On January 2026 since qualifying I had helped :-
99 people pass their test FIRST TIME
34 SECOND TIME
And Four 3rd time -
" Man chooses his way but the LORD directs his path!"

Here's a selection of the students that put up with me, my jokes, my ways and ME! ( And also allowed a photo!)
Thank you to you all, it's been an absolute pleasure to help you achieve your goal and a BUZZ! 😀

I have now officially retired from driver education but remember!!
😀
I can't help anymore but if you turn your heart towards JESUS and not stress and pull out your hair and tear at your clothes with all the worry of the world on your shoulders -

Hand it over to JESUS because not only like me does He care about you He loves you and ONLY JESUS' CAN SAVE YOU! ❤️

To ALL the people who started their journey in learning to drive with me:
" May the LORD bless you and keep you."
