Massive congratulations to Jack on passing his driving test! 🚗💨

This one’s a special one for me — Jack’s been with me pretty much since day one of my driving instructor journey, so we’ve both survived a learning curve together… although only one of us stalled at roundabouts 👀😂

Honestly couldn’t be prouder of the effort and hard work you’ve put in to get that licence. From first lessons to finally hearing those magic words: “I’m pleased to tell you…” — you smashed it.

Now the real challenge begins: pretending your mates aren’t distracting you while choosing the music in the car 😅

Safe driving mate and enjoy your freedom 🚘 👏🏻

🚨 LEARNER DRIVERS — NEW DVSA RULES ARE COMING 🚨

So… the DVSA has entered its “strict parent” era for 2026 😅

Here’s what you need to know before booking your driving test 👇

📝 You can only make 2 changes to your driving test booking.
🔄 Swapping your test with another learner counts as 1 change.
📅 From 12 May 2026, ONLY the learner driver can:

✔️ book a test
✔️ change a test
✔️ swap a test

Which basically means

❌ instructors can’t do it
❌ parents can’t do it
❌ friends can’t do it
❌ dodgy “we’ll find you a faster test” websites can’t do it either 👀

So PLEASE make sure you book your test using:

📱 your own phone number
📧 your own email address
🙋 your own details!

Otherwise, when it comes time to swap or change your test, you could end up stuck in a customer-service nightmare with 47 tabs open and a stress headache 😂

It only takes a minute to log in and check your details are correct — definitely worth doing now before panic mode kicks in later 🚗💨

You may be able to swap your car driving test with another learner driver by phone if you both already have a test booked and want each other's test slot.

Huge congratulations to Katie on smashing her driving test first time! 🚗🎉

I honestly couldn’t be prouder. This journey has been about so much more than just driving — it’s been about facing the anxiety, pushing through the nerves, and turning “I don’t think I can do this” into “watch me smash it.” And that’s exactly what you did today.

We’ve had the full experience along the way — plenty of laughs, a few questionable moments 😅, and of course our shared hobby of silently (and not so silently) judging everyone else on the road 😂. But through it all, you kept going, kept improving, and built the confidence that got you over the line today.

It’s been an absolute privilege to be part of your journey and see how far you’ve come. Moments like this make it all worth it… even if it does mean releasing you onto the roads on your own now — good luck everyone else! 😜

Enjoy your freedom, Katie — you’ve truly earned it. And don’t worry, I’ll still expect those coffee catch-ups ☕

Drive safe, stay confident… and never lose that sense of humour!

Huge congratulations to Kodi for passing his driving test today with just 2 minor faults! 🎉 Your hard work and dedication really paid off, and I couldn’t be prouder. Enjoy the freedom of the open road – you’ve earned it mate!

📢 The rules for booking a practical car driving test are changing.

From 31 March 2026, learner drivers and approved driving instructors (ADIs) will only be able to change a driving test booking up to 2 times.

A change includes:
- changing the date or time
- changing the test centre
- swapping an appointment with another learner

If you’re an ADI, please make sure your pupils only book their test when they’re ready as swapping between pupils will count towards this limit. You can set times when you're available to take your pupils to their driving tests. This stops your pupils from booking tests at times that do not work for you.

👉 When this comes into force, everyone with a driving test booked will have 2 changes available, regardless of how many changes they may have already made.

This change is part of the outcome of our consultation to improve the way driving tests are booked.

Huge congratulations to Becca on an absolutely phenomenal pass today — and with ZERO driver faults!! 🚗✨

You have worked so hard for this, putting in the time, focus and determination every single step of the way, and it truly paid off. What a flawless drive — the examiner didn’t stand a chance!

I couldn’t be prouder of you. You’ve earned every bit of this pass and I can’t wait to see you out on the roads (independently at last!). Drive safe, enjoy the freedom, and don’t forget who taught you 😂👏
