Last week Beth was focused and more than ready for her first attempt at her driving test at Huddersfield Driving Test Centre
But it was cancelled as her examiner was ill.
Fast forward to todays rescheduled test, and it was Beth who wasn't well, sore throat, possible tonsillitis!!!
However she pulled it all together for a fantastic, and well deserved first time pass.
Congratulations, enjoy pranking your boyfriend when you turn up in your car!!

Huge congratulations to Beth who passed her driving test this afternoon at Huddersfield Driving Test Centre despite multiple challenges on her route - from other motorists - none of which rattled her!!
A pleasure to teach, always chirpy and upbeat - good luck with the car shopping!

It's been a while since we took anyone for test, but this morning was Laurens turn.
Huge congratulations for another well deserved first time pass, at a windy Huddersfield Driving Test Centre - clutching her pass certificate, it would take more than a gale to get that out of her hands!!!
She knew she could drive, she just needed someone from the DVSA to sit next to her and confirm it!!!!

Hot on the heels of Tuesdays success at Steeton Test Centre two days ago, Jack made it a double for the week with another first time pass at Huddersfield test centre.
Glorious day, really competent driver, his examiner said if he had driven a little faster it would have been a (well deserved) clean sheet.
As it was he passed with 2 driver faults, both for being cautious with his speed, which is a really common thing on test, as the student is trying so hard to not make mistakes they end up driving slower than they normally would.
Remember, the examiners want to see a confident drive.
Slow down where you need to, but if it is possible and safe - make progress!

Congratulations on the first pass of the year for Tayyiba at Steeton this morning.
Her last test cancelled due to fog, the weather couldn't stop her passing with only 5 driver faults, despite going the wrong way 3 times and ending up in Keighley instead of Skipton!!!
Kept her head and focus.
Well done, and really well deserved.

Yasmin was ready for her test, so looking out for a cancellation, and one popped up last night, for this afternoon!!!
Great pass in Halifax with only 2 driver faults (must try harder!!!)
Well done Yasmin, nerves couldn't mask a good driver - absolutely deserved the pass!!

Emily came all the way from London to do an intensive course with me in 'The Hudd'
On a beautifully sunny Autumn day, she was over the moon to have passed on her first attempt at Huddersfield Driving Test Centre.
Another 1st time pass with the Fiat 500.
Congratulations and happy car shopping.

Well deserved pass!!!

If you're a learner driver, here's a post to try to help you make sense of the current guidance at the moment,
Can you still drive? Are you insured? Will you get points?

Posted on: 5 mins ago Nearly a year into the global pandemic, and we still have a lot of grey areas concerning what we can and cannot do with regards driver training.As a driving instructor, the rules are black and white, we are not allowed to deliver lessons whilst in either tier 4 or full lockdown...

First day back after lockdown,
First lesson of the day, and......BOOM!
Huge congratulations to Ellie, who hasn't driven for over a month, got in the car and passed her driving test this morning - showing just how good her standard of driving is.
Ellie had some terrible luck with test cancellations and postponements as so many have had this year,
But that's all behind her now, as her early Christmas present means she can jump straight into the car she has waiting for her.
