Bit of a scary moment today....this is why it's really important not to flash your lights to tell someone to go.... it seems lovely BUT it might not be safe!

The guy coming out of the petrol station did initially stop a bit far out, but there was plenty of space for us to pass and he did stop to let us go....but the lady flashing him (not just once but twice!) was insisting he went!

He reacted to her signal, without checking where we were first...resulting in us having to emergency stop.

The guy in the blue car did apologize for his mistake, but the lady who flashed.... did not seem to understand the confusion she had created...

Both my learner and myself were rather shaken...as I'm sure the guy coming out from the petrol station was too! Not to mention the vehicles following us....

Another first time pass, with no faults!
Redhill test centre, followed Sat Nav, parallel park.. all perfect!!!
Was an absolute pleasure to sit in the back and watch her calmly negotiate the route and absolutely ace her test.
Congratulations Leoni, you are a star ⭐

Not my new driving school car, but another successful client!
Annabelle started lessons on 20th October 2025. She had applied for a job in Antigua which required her to be able to drive… by January!
She had two lessons a week with myself and Chris in Dorking and found another instructor (or two!) in London where she lived! Once she had confidence she went out in her sister (Nathalie) car and picked her Nathalies brains as she passed with me a short while ago!
She got a test in Crawley on 5th January… but when we arrived it was cancelled due to icy conditions 😱. DVSA rescheduled but for January 20th which would be too late.
Annabelle rang them over and over…eventually getting a test at Redhill on the 13th… which she passed!!!
And this is her in Antigua…
What a ⭐
Congratulations Annabelle… such determination!!

Awesome first time pass from Lewis this afternoon at Redhill. Only 1 fault, and he actually enjoyed it!

Amazing achievement for Rianna, passing her test at Crawley this morning. Congratulations!
And thank you for my awesome gifts…no one will recognise me in the test centre car park or in the back of the car on test. Sorted!
Miss you already! We had loads of giggles! 🤩😍
