BEST GIFT EVER -- Sabina’s first test was rescheduled by the DVSA… clearly they just wanted to build suspense :) And then they rescheduled it -- on my birthday! But how could I say no?
I couldn’t have asked for a better plot twist -- Sabina passed brilliantly. What a fantastic birthday gift!

DON'T STRESS THAT TEST -- Well done, Ben, for your pass in Bromley, with only one minor fault, and praise from your examiner!
Here are some take-home points that we discussed in the lead-up to the day:
* Don't overstress the test. But how?
* Nervousness is a natural reaction to tests and exams.
* Managing nerves is half the challenge, aside from driving skillfully.
* Pay attention to what is going on around your car moment by moment.
* Don't dwell on what just happened but stay in the present moment and focus.
In short, controlling yourself is the starting point of controlling your car. And the same could be said for achieving success in life, couldn't it?
