🎉🎊 Test Day Pass!! 🎊🎉

What a day to pass your driving test Lana, your driving journey has been long and hard, having stopped and started many times since you were 17, but this time you stuck with it and really put the work in - and what a pay-off!

A really solid drive today, comments from your examiner really tied it up when he mentioned just how confident he felt being in the car with you driving - you can't ask for more than that!

I'll be missing the mad bants in the car on a Thursday afternoon, asking me questions, then answering them yourself🤦🏼‍♂️, checking your hands EVERYTIME you were asked to turn left👈 or right👉 and of course my favourite... what lane do I need here? Quickly followed up with "that one" 🤣

I really know just how much this one means for you and your family, and there's no doubt I'll see you out on the road again soon!

Stay safe out there 💪🏻👊🏻

Great result you guys! 🎉🎊

✨🎉 HUGE congratulations to Emelia on passing her driving test today! 🚗

It’s been a long journey, but all the hard work, determination, and commitment have paid off. You’ve worked incredibly hard to get to this point, always applying yourself and pushing through the challenges along the way!

Today she achieved a fantastic result, passing with just 3 minor driving faults, a reflection of the effort she’s put into becoming a safe and confident driver, and going in to her test with positivity 😜.

It’s been an absolute pleasure helping you on your journey! Fridays won’t be the same without you! Enjoy the freedom and independence that comes with your full licence, and stay safe on the roads (I know you will 😂)

Well done!!! You’ve earned it! 🎉🚗

Smashing it you guys! 🎊🎉

Congratulations to Aisha Khalif passing her test yesterday FIRST TIME with only a few faults!!🎉🎉 You absolutely deserved this pass as you worked so hard and I’m incredibly proud of you!
You’ve been an absolute pleasure to teach, always keen to learn and asking questions….. so many questions - which I absolutely love - growing your knowledge or checking your understanding. Don’t ever change - stay curious!
I know the nerves kicked in the closer we got to test but you stayed calm and got the job done. Once you got that pass certificate your smile came back!😁 That banana definitely helped!!🤣
I hope you enjoyed your celebrations with family once you told them your surprise good news!!
I’m sure Mum will have you on school run duty and have many errands for you to run now.
Good luck for your exams and the future ahead 👍

Enjoy your freedom & independence.
Drive safe 🚗
