🚗 PLEASE READ — PUPILS & PARENTS 🚗

I understand how frustrating driving test waiting times are right now. However, we are seeing an increase in pupils wanting to take tests before they are ready, sometimes with pressure placed on instructors to agree.

I want to be clear:

👉 For me, SAFETY will always come before pass rates, reviews or the desire to pass before a friend.

If your instructor is still:
🛑 telling you when to change gear
🛑 asking speed limits
🛑 talking you through manoeuvres
🛑 telling you which lane or exit to take
🛑 helping you judge space or positioning

…then you are not test ready yet.

I can only give my honest professional advice based on training and years of experience.

Remember — when the test starts, it’s just you and the examiner. No prompts, no help, just your own ability.

Nerves are normal. Doubt usually means more practice is needed.

This is a skill for life — not just a test.

Thank you for understanding and helping me keep everyone safe on the roads. 🚗

A warning to all ⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️
Make sure your instructor has one of these above badges displayed in there windscreen 👆🏻

This should display a photo, name and instructor number

Understanding them…
The Green badge (ADI)💚 signifies a fully qualified, registered Approved driving instructor meeting DVSA standards

The Pink badge (PDI)🩷 indicates a potential driving instructor (trainee) who is taking paid lessons but is under supervision until they have completed there qualification

One of these badges should be displayed if not politely ask if you can see it!!

Why is this important….
Legally we are allowed to be paid for lessons
The car you are learning in will have proper learner insurance to cover your lessons
We are on a register and have up to date DBS checks for the pupils safety and have checks to ensure we are doing a professional job and following a code of conduct

After hearing lately some horror stories of pupils who may be experiencing the increased problem of illegal driving instructors out there just a little simple check all pupils can do to make sure they are getting taught professionally and safely as possible

If you are unsure about your driving instructor you can also check and verify them on the Gov.uk website

Please stay safe learning 🚘🚘🚘
