Turning Point Driving School

With Rena’s permission to take her photo and share today’s 3-hour lesson, she decided she wanted to drive to Dumfries, after considering two destinations — Dumfries or Largs.

Today was all about building confidence and experience in different driving environments and conditions. We covered so much, including driving in absolutely pouring rain, roundabouts, bends, motorway driving, speed limits, following distances, awareness, planning ahead… the list is endless! 🚗🌧️

Rena took on the challenge brilliantly and showed great determination throughout the lesson.

Well done, Rena! 👏🚗 Keep up the fantastic progress!

🚗 New drivers: two illegal tyres could cost you your licence.

This September, TyreSafe is reissuing its flagship Young Driver Campaign to remind new and young drivers that tyre safety is their responsibility — even if they don’t own the vehicle they’re driving.

Driving with unsafe or illegal tyres can result in fines of up to £2,500 and 3 penalty points per tyre. For new drivers in their first two years on the road, just two illegal tyres could mean 6 penalty points and automatic licence revocation.

Our research found that 52% of UK drivers aged 17–24 don’t realise they are legally responsible for the condition of the tyres on any vehicle they drive.

That’s why we’re encouraging young drivers to remember ACT:

🔹 A – Air pressure
🔹 C – Condition
🔹 T – Tread

Know your tyres. Stay safe. Stay legal.

Another course completed. 📚

Never stop learning.

People are changing, the world is changing, and driving is changing too. I want to keep doing everything I can to gain knowledge, broaden my understanding, and stay connected with the world we live in today.

There’s always more to learn, more to understand, and more ways to improve.

Keep learning. Keep growing. Keep moving forward. 🚗💡
