Massive congratulations to Katie on passing her driving test!
Pressure, what pressure!
Katie, who is my Daughter’s friend (also Katie) had a few practice sessions before officially learning to drive and had eyes on her from the go.
Despite the nervy start, she picked things up quick.
Some lessons from home but some lessons after college, meaning that the 2 Katie’s would be collected from maccies and turn up with a share box of nuggets for me!! Anything to shut me up I’m sure! Result!
Katie soon became confident with the drive and pushed on and when her test was cancelled and rescheduled to when I was away biking in Europe, what did she do?? Just got on with it and smashed it out! No pressure at all.
Her single driving fault was apparently for me not being there as her instructor (not sure that’s totally true) but when your testing in your own car (with Mum) and the pressure is on, passing with a measly fault doesnt really care thinking about!
Well done Katie, banter in car was brilliant, even when I was outnumbered, and this was only outdone by persistence, so go and enjoy it all mate, you’ve earned it. 🚙
