Eleanor is definitely smiling behind the emoji after passing her test 1st time this afternoon. She even managed to complete her parallel park with a small adjustment despite the stress this was causing her only a week ago! Well done on today’s result - all those hours practising parking and “avoiding” pedestrians were clearly worthwhile🤣 enjoy hunting for your new wheels.

So it’s been a busy week for the automatic mini at the local test centres this week and “crazy chicken lady” Emma didn’t disappoint either. She nailed a 1st time pass making it 3/3 successful tests for instructor Trudi Boyce. Thanks to Emma’s support team/partner Jason for putting in the extra hours of parking practise - worth it to see Emma execute her bay park perfectly in 1 sweep😊 look forward to seeing you soon for that motorway lesson Emma.

2 test centres and 2 x 1st time passes for Esme & Alex today. Slightly stressful start to the day with a rogue tyre sensor playing up but thanks to Bee Mill for sorting it swiftly so these girls could take their tests and demonstrate their safe driving skills to the examiners. Congratulations to both of you and I look forward to seeing you out and about in your cars.

A super busy drive to Preston test centre including an unexpected road closure but an empty car park as only 1 examiner working today. Today’s candidate achieved a 1st time pass with just 1 driver fault at start of the test - examiner complimented her on a very nice drive and how well she handled an incorrect lane choice on a complex roundabout. Congratulations on this well deserved result and we wish you many years of safe driving in your own car.

How long have you been saying “I really need to get my Theory Test done…”?

If the answer is weeks, months, or even longer, you’re not the only one.

For a lot of people, it isn’t a lack of effort. It’s not knowing where to start, getting overwhelmed by revision, or losing confidence after a failed test.

That’s exactly why I’m running Theory Focus throughout August.

We’ll meet live on Zoom once a week for four weeks, working through the bits that actually matter. I’ll explain the theory in plain English, show you how to study smarter, help with hazard perception, answer your questions, and keep you motivated.

No judgement. No silly questions. Just proper support.

* Tuesdays/Mondays: 4th, 10th, 17th & 24th August
* 6pm to 7pm
* Live on Zoom
* £49 (including online/app-based Theory Test revision questions)

Whether you’ve failed before, have ADHD, dyslexia or simply hate revising, this course is designed to make the Theory Test feel achievable.

My aim isn’t just to help you pass. It’s to help you understand it.

If you’ve been waiting for the right time, make August your month.

What a pleasure it was to see Abi Cronshaw receive her test pass certificate this morning. Perfect example of what commitment, flexibility and determination can achieve in a relatively short time frame. Just need Dad to get his wallet out now to help you gain the freedom that owning your own car will provide. Thank you for choosing me as your instructor Abi I’m looking forward to seeing you out on the roads soon ❤️
