So a happy end to Tuesday today, with a First Time Pass for Robson with juts 2 small faults, after only 8 hours training with myself and 4 with Paul Whitaker.

It’s been a pleasure working with you Robson, and I wish the gardening and maintenance business well, I’ll maybe see you up a tree somewhere.

Stay safe out there, plenty of idiots in the road.

An emotional start to the week end for Abbie-Mae.
Not only a First Time Pass with 3 little driver faults, but Fi Fi her little Fiat 500 is fixed and ready to go.

It’s been such a laugh working with you and I wish you well, remember everyone on the roads is a potential idiot.

All current learners /new starters important message re driving test bookings ( please share with parents)

As most of you are hopefully now aware the system of booking driving tests is changing next week and no driving instructor in the country will be able to book or change a driving test date - you will all have to do it yourselves

IMHO its a very sad day and bad decision which may have a negative impact on road safety but our voices have not been heard so we must accept the changes

This means it is more important than ever to target a realistic date as if you are not safe and ready I will have no option but to advise you to change your test date

Things are about to become extremely challenging but I will continue to help and advise as much as possible but in essence

Cancellations may become available but they are extremely rare

You have been warned and sadly its not the best of news but it is the same for every learner throughout the country

“Please beware of any websites offering to secure earlier tests as they are not official and equivalent of ticket touts profiteering from supply / demand”

Only ever use official gov.uk book my driving test site

Good luck 👍

GOV.UK - The best place to find government services and information.

Sam this morning (what felt like the middle of the night), had a fantastic First Time Pass with just 3 driver faults.

It’s been an absolute pleasure working with you Sam, you have in this short time grown to become a confident young man, with the next challenge, The Royal Marines, and I wish you so much success in the future
