Hello

There comes a time where an ADI (Approved Driving Instructor) must hang up their ‘L’ Plates. Well …… my time has come and I will stop driver training on 27th March.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the very many people whom has had lessons with me over 20 years and been successful in their driving test. It’s still nice to see many on the road whom I helped and I am proud of you all!

Some have found it easy and some found the experience challenging, all this time later I still get a buzz when they pass and I will miss this.

I am sorry to those I have had to stop mid training and to those on a waiting list I have had to request they find help from other instructors.

Again thank you all for your custom and may I wish you all well and as always ‘stay safe out there’

Kindest regards
Kevin

It did not stop raining for the duration of Alex’s driving test, but this did not stop him getting a great result with a very positive pass.

I do hope you get the correct result with your exams you took last week and you continue to enjoy your work on the classic car restoration in Yellowham.

I also hope you were able to get your own car on the road in the hours after you passed your test. I look forward in seeing you on the road soon.

Remember those mirrors and a stay safe out there!1

All the best

After having had her driving test date moved several times by the DVSA, Yasmin was finally able to take her driving test today and she passed with flying colours after a route which took in some country lanes as well as the busy town centre.

Many thanks to Mum and Dad for all their support in taking you out for practice. This has really helped you, no doubt.

I do hope you continue to enjoy your college beauty course and it’s good that you will now be able to drive to the train station to get to college in the dry!!

Looking forward to seeing you out there in your Polo and……..

Take care out there
All the best

A busy (but rewarding) day for Kevin as Phoebe Allen was his second test of the day. Phoebe came up with the goods and passed her driving test in Dorchester.

The rain did not stop her having a great result including a parallel park which she nailed!

I do hope you have a great summer with ‘Crabapple’ I know you are a great organiser and hope you find a career you will enjoy.

Remember you are always welcome to come and see ‘Auntie Sally’ if you ever wander down to her house if lost!!

All the best and stay safe out there

Great news today for Loren Norman who has passed her driving test very well. A nice drive in the countryside was the route today for her with some hilly areas. The rain held off but a cold not too bright day.

I know you are unsure about your future career, but I do hope your exams go well and you have a great Summer when all is over. At least you will be able to get some driving experience.

Thank you to Mum and Dad for their help and support.

Thank you and well done,
Stay safe out there
Kindest regards

The very rough wind and rain was kept away in Dorchester this morning which made conditions easier for Charlie Mead to pass his driving test.

Now you will be able to drive to Witch Farm to continue use your apprenticeship with Perenco! I hope your final two years go well after completing your B-Tech later this year.

Please continue with the rugby as Swans need you now you are coming out of the colts. Please thank Mum and Dad for all their support with your driving training.

All the best for the future and …
Stay safe out there
Kindest Regards

A very busy Tuesday morning in Dorchester welcomed William Wilkens on the day of his driving test. All went very well and a good pass and nice words from his examiner. I hope to see you out soon in your newly acquired black Polo.

May I wish you all the best with your A Levels later this year and good luck with your future education and career.

I hope the climbing continues to be a chosen outlet for you as the Life Guarding duties.

Well done again and stay safe out there

Kevin
