Due to imminent retirement, I am sorry but I'm not taking on any new students.
However, I will be seeing my current students through their tests, the last of which is in January, so I'll be around for a little while longer.

You held your nerves so well, and got the result you wanted and also received great comments from your examiner on a lovely drive.
You now have the independence to go anywhere, and I'm sure your son will be so happy.
I'll see you soon for a motorway lesson.

Lovely words from Charley Hughes who passed her driving test with me on Tuesday.
Thank you very much.

Nigel has been an amazing driving instructor, so kind, patient, and funny. As someone who started with a severe anxiety of driving, to passing my test today, he has helped me overcome so much fear and made driving a fun experience.

I have not been the easiest person to teach, as someone who wanted to perfect everything immediately, and would get frustrated over minor things, but Nigel never held it against me, and was always very calm and tolerant. I went from crying almost every lesson to being excited to drive, and passed today, I could not have done it without him. Thank you so much, Nigel.

Massive congratulations go to Charley Hughes from Weston-super-Mare on passing her driving test in Weston this morning.
The result made my 5.00am alarm worthwhile.
You managed to keep your nerves under control (and boy were you nervous) to produce an excellent drive with lovely comments from your examiner.
I will see you soon for your motorway lesson.
Enjoy looking for your first car.

Spring may mean warmer temperatures, but it can bring rainy spells too. ☔

When roads are wet, stopping distances will be at least double those required for stopping on dry roads, so it’s important you know how to drive in these conditions.

Next time you're driving in wet weather, remember to:

🚗 keep well back from the vehicle in front
⚠️ if the steering becomes unresponsive, ease off the accelerator and slow down gradually
🛢️ watch out for any spilt diesel as this will make surfaces very slippery
🚲 take extra care around pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists and horse riders

For more information, read rule 227 of The Highway Code: https://ow.ly/zO7650YI7Bz

📢 Remember that from tomorrow (31 March), you will only be able to make 2 changes to a car driving test booking.

A change counts as:
✅ changing the date or time
✅ changing the test centre
✅ swapping your appointment with another learner who has a test booked

If you need to make more changes after you have used your 2 changes, you will need to cancel your test and book a new one.
