Big congratulations to Oliver Smith-Lindsey who drove superbly in sunny Skegness this afternoon to earn his licence with a first time pass and just ONE driver fault π₯³
Ollie came to me in February having learnt to drive in his own car already, and wanted to pause and get some professional advice before getting his practical test booked. After an initial assessment lesson it was clear that Ollie had a brilliant driving foundation, but was lacking a lot of knowledge around mirror checks and observations, as well as being a little unsure on the rules and requirements around parking manoeuvres. In just a few lessons we:
βοΈ Discussed what observations and mirror checks are needing when changing speed and/or direction, and why they are important
βοΈPractised, practised, practised until it was second nature
βοΈPolished up on manoeuvres, sat nav driving, following road signs, and other things Ollie would or might be asked to do on his test
βοΈGot familiar with the test area including junctions and roads that students often find confusing
Then with a lucky find on a driving test cancellation for today, it was over to Ollie to put it all together this afternoon and got the result he wanted with great feedback from the examiner. Thanks for choosing me to help get you ready for your test, and safe driving ππ₯³
