Passing your driving test isn't the magical signal that you know everything about driving and are 100% ready to rule the road. Recognising this can actually help you learn and pass because it's all about attitude: if you think you're the best driver that ever lived after 5 lessons...your test might....

Rule 237
Keep your vehicle well ventilated to avoid drowsiness. Be aware that the road surface may become soft or if it rains after a dry spell it may become slippery. These conditions could affect your steering and braking. If you are dazzled by bright sunlight, slow down and if necessary, stop.
Pick up a copy of the Highway Code from the Safe Driving for Life shop - for life, not just for learners.
DVSA have confirmed that face coverings are still currently required for driving tests in England following the latest easing of restrictions on 19th July 2021.
In line with this I will be continuing to require students to wear a face covering for lessons, unless there is a medical reason no to.
I feel this measure is still required to protect my students, myself and our families in this ongoing pandemic, especially as I have a couple of students who are vulnerable or have vulnerable family members at home.
*Face shields are not an acceptable alternative due to the risk of injury from them in the event of an accident, and so are not permitted.

Good news, I'm not pregnant... erm, I mean my latest COVID-19 lateral flow test result is negative!
I'll be continuing to do 2 tests a week, provided I continue to be able to obtain tests.
Around 1 in 3 people with COVID-19 do not have symptoms.
Rapid lateral flow tests help to find cases in people who may have no symptoms but are still infectious and can give the virus to others.
You can order lateral flow tests via the following link
