Have you heard about Blindspeed? A track experience event for people with vision loss of all varying types. This was my 2nd year as a instructor on track which gave a bunch of people an experience of their life to drive again or for the first time ever!
In Sight of Dreams and Blind Speed are absolutely amazing to bring this event to life and provide opportunities to make dreams come true!
Still on a high from the night!

Feeling nervous before your driving test? You’re not alone.

Most people don’t perform at their best under pressure — and that’s completely normal. During a test, it’s easy for one small mistake to shake your confidence and lead to another. The key isn’t perfection… it’s preparation, staying calm and applying what you know.

Here are a few simple ways to set yourself up for success:

Calm starts before the test
Give yourself time to settle your nerves before you even arrive.

Practice right before you go in
A short drive with your supervisor in the hour before your test can help you get into the flow and clear your mind.

Ask last-minute questions
Use that time to clarify anything you’re unsure about — even small things can boost your confidence.

Consider a pre-test lesson
Booking a lesson with your instructor right before your test can make a big difference. It may be your final session together, and it’s a great way to feel supported, focused, and calm.

Stay in your lane (mentally)
Parents and supervisors mean well, but they can sometimes pass on their own nerves. A professional instructor is trained to keep things calm, clear, and controlled.

Remember — the test is just a snapshot of your driving.
Stay steady, breathe, and trust what you’ve learned.

Top tip: just keep driving to your best - right until the end, even if you feel you made a mistake! Keep doing your best driving.
