Another great result this week with Lola Jordan passing her driving test on the 1st attempt.
Nerves and self doubt had definitely crept in over the last couple of weeks but Lola kept her nerve and passed.
Lola was the model pupil through out her learning and practiced whenever she could with dad after buying a lovely wee Audi A1 which we actually saw out on a lesson 1 night.
Iโ€™ll miss the banter but not the pot holes up the hidden road.
Thanks again Lola for trusting in me to be your driving instructor ๐Ÿš—๐Ÿ˜€

โ€œ2 minors, I thought Iโ€™d failedโ€
Well you were wrong Becky, you absolutely smashed it today and complimented on a great drive. Nerves had definitely crept in this morning but you held it together!

Camera shy Fraser Lamont passed his driving test today with 4 minor driving faults.

Fraser has worked extremely hard to over come nerves and become a cracking safe driver.
If only his driving at the 3rd hole at Cd golf club could be as good ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‚

Enjoy your new found redeem and Iโ€™ll see you at Southerness for a game of golf to celebrate ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿบ

As I sign off to go on holiday I reflect on a busy start to the year.
10 passes out of 11.
No excuse but Iโ€™m pretty sure my pupil who failed would have passed but was going through some personal matters at the time of their test but with the current test waiting time we thought it was better to have tried than push the test back.

No one really talks about the fails. Itโ€™s heart breaking not only for the pupil but for me.
I question myself, did I miss something or over look it. The self doubt creeps in but if I didnโ€™t Iโ€™d be worried as it shows I care.

Iโ€™m incredibly lucky to have the support of my family and my qualify team mates. Without the support of especially Ian and Rose and their years of expertise Iโ€™m alway learning and adapting. Everyday is a school day and no 2 pupils are the same. Thatโ€™s what I love about my job.

Cars parked up, Suitcase is packed. Sunshine here I come ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿบ

Amyโ€™s probably been waiting all day for this post since she was the 1st test of the day at 8.20am.
Nerves were creeping in this week but we both knew Amy was more than ready to sit her test! Luckily Amy managed to hold her nerve and had a great 1st time pass with 2 minors.
Huge thank you to Mum and Dad who will be delighted never to be practicing hill starts again out the old bridge of Urr and Rhonehouse ๐Ÿคฃ

Amy was the model pupil and a pleasure to teach and practiced with dad which made a huge difference.

Now for Rangers to win the league to keep the smile on her face ๐Ÿ˜†

Happy and Safe driving ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿš—๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿš—

Both cars now have matching graphics. A huge thank you to Paul at Keyline Graphics.
Really proud seeing my name on my cars and seeing how far my business has come and moved forward.

If youโ€™re interested in learning to drive in a safe relaxed and fun environment please get in touch. I offer both manual and automatic lessons.
Iโ€™ve also helped people gain their confidence back after having strokes and not having driven in a few years. More recently I gave a lesson/demonstration to a lady in her late 70s of the benefits of driving an automatic car which she loved and now has her own.

2nd test of today straight after Fergus was Archie Campbell.
As excepted Archie was laid back and relaxed and passed his driving test 1st time with 1 minor.
Nerves had definitely kicked in for Mum though but for Archie it was never in doubt today. Archie was the model pupil from start to finish.
Iโ€™m sure itโ€™ll be his turn to drive to the Saints game this weekend.

Thanks to Mum & Dad for the additional practice but another great result doing an intensive course.

Diary is filling up fast for the year and even into next year! Manual and automatic lessons available, I can also help if youโ€™ve lost confidence or not sure what option is best for you.
