A fabulous, well-deserved first time pass for the lovely, camera-shy Charlie in a very grey Bishop's Stortford this morning. I'm not sure that the examiner has ever been asked so many questions during a test, but it was great to see such a confident drive through near constant chat! Well done Charlie and keep safe out there.

Please welcome my new young sidekick, the very handsome Roary the Puma. He's all set up and ready to hit the road tomorrow morning. Give us a wave if you see us out and about!

The end of an era. With a heavy heart, tomorrow I wave off my trusty sidekick of 3 years...the lovely Pedro. He's never let me down and has put up with love and abuse from my learners like a loyal puppy. Farewell, Pedro, it's been a blast. Wishing you many more years of test passes and safe travels.

Huge congratulations to a camera-shy Isaac for a well-deserved pass today in Bishop's Stortford, with a very respectable 2 driving faults and lovely comments from the examiner.
Wishing Isaac all the very best for a long, safe and happy driving future. It's been a pleasure.

Well that was easy! Zak has had a bike licence for some time, but went and aced his car licence today in Bishop's Stortford on the first attempt.
Zak it's been a pleasure to teach someone who 'gets it' from the start but just has to think slightly differently on 4 wheels rather than 2. Keep safe - and now you can keep dry too!
Thanks also to Kealey Venture Adi who started his training.

Massive congratulations to Kacper who aced his driving test today in a drizzly Bishop's Stortford with an impressive 2 driving faults. That's one job done - now onto A levels and Uni. Keep safe out there and enjoy your freedom in the little black bullet!

Huge congratulations to Reece who absolutely aced his driving test this morning in a very damp Bishop's Stortford with some lovely comments from the examiner. Well done and keep safe out there!
Oh and thank you for the flowers and chocolates!

Well, that's the roof box off and L plates hung up for another year. To the Class of 2025 congratulations and keep safe out there. For those still with me, 2026 will be your year!
Merry Christmas everyone!

She only went and did it! A HUGE well done to Kerry who passed her test today in a gloomy Bishop's Stortford. Kerry, you've been a delight to teach even when you've found things a bit tricky.
I'll really miss our daft chats and your take on commentary driving will make me chuckle for many years to come!
I can't wait to see you on the road going on adventures with Pea. Give us a wave and keep safe out there.

Wise words

🚗 The Night Before Your Driving Test 🚗

Please don’t spend the night before your test glued to YouTube, tik tok or any reels on driving tips .

You either have it by now or you don’t but that’s okay.

Watching last-minute “quick tips” will only overload your brain.
You have no time left to practise anything new, and that panic scroll will do nothing but make you doubt everything you already know.

The best thing you can do the night before?
✨ Stick to what you know.
✨ Trust how you’ve been taught.
✨ Drive like you have on your strongest lessons.
✨ stick to the tips your driving instructor has give you.
✨Don’t listen to anyone’s advise nobody knows better than your instructor! No time for confusion .

Don’t suddenly start driving slower or faster.
Don’t start second-guessing every roundabout you’ve mastered a hundred times already.
You’re not learning tonight you’re preparing your mind.

Get your documents ready, get an early night, eat properly, and breathe.

Tomorrow isn’t about being perfect.

It’s about being safe and consistent.

You’ve done the work.
Now let your training do its job.
