Evening everyone,

I’m posting this on behalf of Graham Burrows’ daughter, Elisha.

Sadly, Graham is currently in hospital and is very seriously unwell. He is receiving treatment on a ventilator, and at this time he is unable to communicate with his students or manage his business.

As many of you will know, Graham has dedicated many years to helping people learn to drive through GB Motoring School Plymouth, building a reputation based on professionalism, reliability, and genuine care for his pupils. His daughter is understandably concerned that students with upcoming lessons and driving tests may not know why they have been unable to reach him, and she doesn’t want his hard earned reputation to suffer because of circumstances completely beyond his control.

Unfortunately, Grahams daughter does not have access to his phone, and the family have no practical way of contacting all of his current students individually.

We are asking for the support of our local community and fellow driving instructors. Please could you share this post on your personal and business pages so that anyone currently learning with GB Motoring School Plymouth becomes aware of the situation.

"If you are one of Graham’s students from GB Motoring School Plymouth or know someone who is, please contact Elisha Burrows directly, or send me a message so I can pass your details on to her. "

Additionally, if any local instructors have availability and are willing to help by taking on some of Graham’s pupils temporarily particularly those with driving tests booked in the near future it would be hugely appreciated.

The test centre has advised that the best course of action is to spread the word as widely as possible.

Thank you all for your kindness, support, and understanding during what is an incredibly difficult time for Graham and his family. Let’s come together as a community and help support one of our own.

Please keep Graham and his family in your thoughts.

You may be able to swap your car driving test with another learner driver by phone if you both already have a test booked and want each other's test slot.

From May 12th only learners can book their own driving tests, and also swop their dates. You can also only change your dates twice ( a swop counts as a change)

Unless you have access to a private car for test please ensure you have checked that your instructor, and car is available on that specific date and time, and that your instructor agrees you are ready to take a test at that time, as they may refuse use of the car if you've not confirmed you are ready with them prior to booking.
