AMAZING FIRST TIME PASS

Congratulations to a shy Maisie who passed her driving test this morning at Chesterfield Test Centre with a single tiny driving fault!

Maisie drove unbelievably well this morning considering how nervous she was. Its been an honour and a privilege being able to help Maisie learn to drive, and I couldnt be happier or more proud.

You've set the standard for your brother 😅

☀️☀️ This week's lessons- hot, hot, hot☀️☀️

Morning Everyone

As its going be super hot this week please can I ask the following:

☀️ wear sensible and appropriate footwear- no Crocs, sliders or flip flops

☀️ Bring water, juice or anything to keep you hydrated- remember we're not at school so we can take regular breaks

☀️ Ensure you come to your lesson smelling and feeling fresh

☀️ Please ensure you are refreshed and allowed yourself time before your lesson. Driving in the heat quickly fatigues you, turning up to a lesson having just woken up is not ideal.

Booking your driving test? Make sure you’re doing it the right way. ✅

Since 12 May, it has been against the law for anyone but the learner driver to book a driving test. Using unofficial apps, bots or automated tools also breaks the terms and conditions of our booking service.

We've already cancelled 450 tests where tests have been booked outside the new rules – and we're continuing to monitor activity closely. 💪

If misuse of the booking system is identified, we can cancel your booking and suspend your ability to manage your test online.

Our priority is to make the system fair for every learner and to stop you being exploited by third parties. The only way to book and manage a test is through GOV.UK. 💻

A year ago today I passed the 3rd and final part to become a fully qualified driving instructor. Blood, sweat and tears were split during the 10 months that I was a trainee (PDI) to become fully qualified.

I was finally able to advertise myself as a driving instructor and since that time I have been able to help so many people achieve their ambitions of becoming pink licence holders.

There have been so many laughs, and just as many near death experiences, but I love helping each and every pupil who i have the honour and privilege to teach.

Thank you to all my pupils, past and present for allowing me to be part of your journey and for trusting me to teach you the skills needed to drive safely.

First time pass!

This mornings congratulations goes to Nicky who passed her test this morning in Chesterfield with only 2 driving faults.

I am super proud of how far Nicky has come throughout her driving journey. From very nervous first lessons, always being in reverse when we wanted to go forward, to an amazing first time pass. Nicky has done exceptionally well, and worked extremely hard.

All the best for your driving journey Nicky.

It's been an absolute blast!

Hi Everyone

There may be some disruption to lessons over the next few days/ week as I was involved in an accident whilst on a lesson today.

Unfortunately, we were rear ended after stopping at traffic lights.

I am currently waiting for the insurer to get the car assessed for repair so I may need to take some time to attend for quotes etc.

I will try my best to keep disruption to a minimum.

There may also be a different car at some.piint whilst repairs are carried out.

In advance, I appreciate your patience and understanding.
