Now the dust has finally settled after our massive driving event on Friday, it’s straight back to the day job getting people passed and out on the open road!

​And that’s exactly what happened this morning in sunny Clacton. A huge congratulations to Tianna Southee on passing her driving test FIRST TIME! 🚗☀️

​Seeing the hard work pay off is always brilliant, but watching your mum and sister celebrating outside the test centre makes the job completely worthwhile. Moments like that are what teaching is all about.

​Tianna drove brilliantly to earn that full licence. Wishing you so much fun and freedom on the road enjoy every single mile and stay safe out there! 🎉

🚗💨 TALK TO ME, GOOSE! 💨🚗

​A HUGE round of applause for Betsie Barlow! Today was the day, and she didn’t just pass... she passed HER DRIVING TEST FIRST TIME IN CLACTON! 🥳🎉

​Betsie Barlow, your dedication and hard work have really paid off today. The examiner had some absolutely amazing comments about your driving, and we couldn't be prouder! 🤩

​Though I have to admit... I'm really going to miss us singing We're Going on a Bear Hunt on our lessons! 🐻🎶 We can't go over it, we can't go under it, oh no... we had to drive through it! I would share the video but that would be a bit embarrassing lol.

​ like they say in Top Gun... "You're welcome back to come and work for us at AB Drive Anchor at any time." The door is ALWAYS open for you!

​Let's hear it for her in the comments! 👇 Go on, make the crowd go mad and make that smile even bigger! 🤩🥳

STOP THE PRESS! 🚨

​While everyone else has their minds on the Clacton by-election today, Rakaiah Barlow-lucas had something MUCH more important to focus on... 🗳️🚗

​And she absolutely SMASHED her driving test! 🎉
​Not only did she pass, but she delivered a perfect run with a completely CLEAN SHEET — ZERO minors! 🥇 It was such a flawless performance that even the examiner made a point to tell us what an "amazing drive" it was this morning.

​Massive congratulations, Rakaiah! It’s been fantastic helping you reach this milestone, and everyone at AB-Drive Anchor is incredibly proud of the hard work you put in. Enjoy the celebrations and stay safe out there on the roads! 🚘💨

🚗💨 MASSIVE CONGRATULATIONS to the brilliant Lilly O’Brien! 🌟

​She absolutely SMASHED her driving test this morning! Navigating her way through a very sunny and exceptionally busy Clacton, Lilly showed incredible skill, confidence, and calmness under pressure. ☀️🛣️

​Our driving journey together actually started by chance! Fate brought us together after a brief encounter at a firework display i was pyrotechnician 🎆, and we've been working hard on getting her road-ready ever since. Today, all that dedication truly paid off.

​To top it all off, Lilly even received some absolutely lovely comments from the examiner about the quality of her drive. 🏆

​I couldn't be prouder of you, Lilly. A massive thank you for the generous bottle of rum as well (which you can spot making a star appearance in the photo!). I’ll definitely be pouring myself a celebratory drink and raising a glass to you tonight! 🥃🥂

​Enjoy your well-deserved freedom on the roads! 🎉🚙
