Olivia had to deal with road closures and temporary traffic lights during her test, but she handled everything really well and demonstrated the skills and experience she has worked so hard to develop throughout her lessons.

I’d also like to say a huge thank you to her parents for all their support with private practice. The additional experience and practice really helped Olivia to develop her skills and confidence and that certainly showed in her driving today.
