Jo Ricketts Driver Training

Its been a busy summer, with lots of pupils gaining their independence after passing their driving test! 🚗🎉

It’s incredibly rewarding to watch people progress from being nervous about even starting the car, to confidently driving independently and, most importantly, safely.

I have a few spaces becoming available shortly and I’m now taking names for my waiting list.

If you’d like to be considered for a space, please complete my enquiry form and I’ll get back to you if I have a suitable space that fits your availability.

Thank you to everyone who has trusted me to be part of their driving journey! 😊

Congratulations Bethany on passing her driving test on her first attempt with just one driving fault at Trowbridge test centre, even gaining compliments from the examiner on what a lovely drive it was.
Best of luck in the future.

I have a few occasional spaces available over the next month due to a few of my current students being on holiday.
These spaces are ideal for anyone wanting a taster lesson before committing to a regular space, or perhaps someone that would like a mock test prior to an upcoming test, or maybe a refresher lesson or motorway lesson for full licence holders.
Please get in touch for more information on available spaces.

Due to recent test passes I have a space becoming available on a Tuesday morning at 9.30. This will suit someone in the Midsomer Norton/Radstock/Peasedown St John area.

If you are looking to start lessons then please get in touch. Further spaces will be coming up towards the end of summer.

From 12th May new rules will be in place which mean driving test swaps can only be done by learner drivers, through the DVSA customer service centre.
Previously I have assisted my pupils with these swaps and although I will not be able to complete the swap myself I can still assist with finding suitable swaps through liaising with other driving instructors.
Full details of the new rules can be found here https://www.gov.uk/guidance/swapping-your-driving-test-with-another-learner-driver
Please also remember that from 9th June test swaps can only swap with the same test centre or one of the 3 test centres in the locality of the original test you booked.
I'm sure it will all help eventually with reducing test waiting times 🤞

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.
