Massive shout out for Julio Arguelles! Two examiners in the car this morning and he only rocked up with ZERO faults. Great working with you Julio. I can't take much credit, just a handful of lessons, to make sure your driving was top notch, to switch that Mexican licence into a UK one! 🎊🎉🥳🚗
An amazing fortnight for you Julio. Motorbike test passed last week, car test this week and in style! Wonder if Mexico in the world cup ⚽ will make it 3 reasons for celebrations for you? 🤔😂

Officially declaring Daisy Potts a superstar. It's been a long road to nail the theory test, IYKYK 🤦🏻‍♀️ but Daisy finally achieved a first time pass today in Abergavenny. Only 1 fault as well, and that was for a panic response when asked about the fog lights "I can't remember!" 🤣 So let's make that a clean sheet for your driving. Congratulations! Enjoy your freedom. 🚗🥳
This is the third of the Potts siblings through their tests with low fault first time passes! Such a lovely family to work with. Thanks for your business. 😊 Daisy so wanted to keep up with her brothers and she did it. Massive congratulations Daisy. 🥳🚗🥰

All current learners/ new starters important message re driving test bookings ( please share with parents)

As most of you are hopefully now aware the system of booking driving tests is changing from Tuesday and no driving instructor in the country will be able to book or change a driving test date - you will all have to do it yourselves

IMHO its a very sad day and bad decision which may have a negative impact on road safety but our voices have not been heard so we must accept the changes.

Just for information there are currently no tests available to book anywhere in South Wales until mid october ( a new week is dropped on every Monday morning at 0600 so in 4 weeks time it will be earliest dates of mid november)

This means it is more important than ever to target a realistic date as if you are not safe and ready I will have no option but to advise you to change your test date

Things are about to become extremely challenging but I will continue to help and advise as much as possible but in essence

Pass your theory today - earliest test date mid october / fail your driving test today earliest retest likely to be same date of mid october

Cancellations may become available but they are extremely rare

You have been warned and sadly its not the best of news but it is the same for every learner throughout the country

Please beware of any websites offering to secure earlier tests as they are not official and equivalent of ticket touts profiteering from supply / demand

Only ever use official gov driving test booking site https://www.gov.uk/book-driving-test

Good luck 👍

Oliver Donoghue, you only went and did it! Massive congratulations mate! 🚗🥰🥳
Oli, you held those nerves - well done! Will miss our lessons. Not sure if I'll miss our discussions about Chelsea FC though! 🤣 Drive safe and see you soon for a motorway and city driving lesson. 🚗🥰

Ellie Walsh superstar! First attempt with just one teeny fault. That's the way to do it. Congratulations! 🥳🚗

Rhys Daykin - BOOM. First attempt, low number of faults too. Drive safe and enjoy your independence. 🚗🥳
Great working with you Rhys. Natural driver from day 1. Most of what you said about cars and gaming went straight over my head, but hey ho! 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣 Thanks also to mum for all the extra practice and also for the beautiful flowers. 🌺 🌹
