🌟🌟🌟🌟A superb First Time pass today for Holly. 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Holly, I'm so delighted for you. What a few weeks...finishing your A Levels on Friday and now passing your driving test! Huge congratulations!

You have been a pleasure to teach, we have had some real laughs. Your sense of humour had me in stitches...I thought I had a dry sense of humour but yours is drier than the Sahara!! 🤣

Thank you for introducing me to Big Thief, great band...I will continue to listen!

Enjoy your freedom and independence, although be prepared for taxi duties for your Dad!

Please do keep me updated with your progress. Take care and see you on the roads 🎉🎉🤗

James May takes his driving test and is unsuccessful.

He is given one serious fault for excess speed but watching the footage, there should perhaps have been a further serious fault for lack of observations after the emergency stop.

It just shows, the driving test of today is not what it was in the 1980s/1990s.

James May passed his driving test in 1980. Can he do so again, desp...

🌟🌟🌟🌟An outstanding First Time pass today for Nathan with just 2 driver faults. 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Nathan, it has been an absolute pleasure....even though you're an Arsenal fan!! 🤣 We have had some laughs...mostly at my team's expense!! 🤣

You are really good, safe and competent driver. Remember to keep driving as you've been taught and enjoy the freedom and independence this will bring you.

Stay safe out there...see you on the road! 😊

🌟🌟🌟🌟Huge congratulations to Connor who passed First Time yesterday 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Connor is an experienced motorcyclist who needed lessons to help transfer all the road skills he already had into a car. There are differences but he picked things up really quickly.

Connor, it has been an absolute pleasure to work with you. I really enjoyed our lessons.

Enjoy the freedom having your car licence will bring and help you further progress work wise in driving other vehicles.

Stay safe out there 😊

🌟🌟🌟🌟 A fantastic First Time pass today for Zade! 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Huge congratulations Zade, you did brilliantly!

The industry average number of hours (with an instructor) required to pass your driving test and become a safe, independent driver is 44 hours plus 20 hours of private practice.

Zade has passed with 28 hours of tuition having no previous car or motorcycle experience. He has had a car to practice in for the last few months which has really helped his progress. Zade has also fully engaged in the learning process. He has been very reflective and watched the suggested videos before each lesson so he could understand the theory before putting it into practice during lessons.

Some students require many more hours than the average...and that's ok. Everyone learns at different rates. The important bit is to become a safe, independent driver. Lessons are client centred so planned to meet each individual's needs based on how each student learns.

We have discussed the importance of continuing to drive the way he has been taught and he will be getting a black box which will monitor his driving and ensure he stays safe and gets those insurance premiums down. He knows he needs to own his car (with My car, My rules) and if he has any passengers will ensure he doesn't become distracted.

You've been a pleasure to teach Zade. Wishing you the best of luck with everything and I hope the snowboarding goes from strength to strength. Stay safe out there! 😊👏🎊

Huge congratulations to Seb, who passed today with just 2 driver faults. 👏👏👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊

I took on Seb after he had been to "school of Mum" back in 2021! To be honest, she didn't do a great job and had put Seb forward for test when he probably wasn't ready. She didn't really know what she was doing back then! 😲😬

My Learner Driver wasn't available when she tried to teach him....boy she would have benefitted from it!! However, Seb did inspire his Mum to become a driving instructor.

After 2 years of training, Seb's Mum learnt how to break down the elements of driving to teach students how to become a good, safe, independent driver. She learnt coaching skills and how to be client centred, adapting her teaching according to a student's needs. His Mum passed 3 exams and qualified as an Approved Driving Instructor in 2024.

Seb spent 4 years at College in the USA, passed his test out there and this week has completed an intensive course with me where he was more than ready to take his test.

If you hadn't already guessed, I am Seb's Mum!!

I'm so pleased for you Seb. Thanks for sticking with me...you could have sacked me off as "school of Mum" didn't work! 🤣🤣.

In all seriousness, you should be so proud of yourself. Your resilience, your attitude and your determination to succeed when I know it wasn't easy. You're usually so calm but nerves played a huge part today....you did brilliantly to keep them in check. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Yayyyy!! So happy for you and so proud of you!! 🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊🎊🎉🎉🎉
