Timing is everything for Nintendo nut Chad. You gotta time your turns, watch your swerves, slip the banana skins, dodge the shells and most importantly, make sure you turn up at the right time for your test otherwise you end up paying your instructor for coming out on his day off for nothing 😭

Read emails properly - lesson learnt.

Getting driving right first time is what the game should be. There's no save points.

Another one from last Thursday with the future in his hands.

Driving? Completed it mate.

Winning the prize for the longest commute for driving lessons (London to Scunthorpe), is Megan. Granted she had other things on as well but even so.

I've known Meg for quite a few years and she's a delightful concoction of ambition, intelligence and culture and her northern roots poke out from time to time, which I'm pleased about.

A solid drive and kept the overthinking at bay to get a great result.
Well done Megan ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We've come a long way from those early days when wonky-eyed dustbin men would crack a 4 tooth smile at our Lexie, unnerving her whilst she learnt junction basics.

Lexie once requested we did an emergency stop with Don't Fear the Reaper as the soundtrack (it's actually a load of fun and would recommend trying it).

Morning Lexie was a breeze, Afternoon Lexie we never knew which way the wind would blow but that be the dice we rolled.

I enjoyed the Lexie Jukebox, sing the first line of a song and she'll finish the song.
No two days were the same but it was an experience that I will treasure.

She worked hard. She listened. She sang.
Magnificent. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It's not been the easiest journey for Nivio, but perseverance pays.
Hailing from the tropics of East Timor, through our ever changing capital then finally onto the utopia of Scunthorpe where the people rage about bad parking, B&M bullies M&S and the sulphuric air taints the whites of your eyes.

Nivio navigated seamlessly through the entertainment metropolis of North Lincolnshire, banged out a forward bay park in the original Central Park of the world and got back with a pass with not a fault in sight. Granted, not his first rodeo but when it dropped he couldn't have done anything more.

That was a job brilliantly done.

Adrenaline pumping, nerves jangling, doubt circling. Ali had to find the eye of the tiger and roll with the punches amid adverse weather and was more than up for the fight.
She fought on the front foot (and sometimes uses her right one a bit too much 😅), and stood victorious.

On the way home, she showed me just how fast a human can talk (and I thought I was fast). She was ecstatic and rightly so.
Absolute knockout. Bloody brilliant!

Sometimes people pop along that make your job feel like anything but work. Macie was this fantastic young lady. We had the greatest conversations that touched on all kinds of wonderful irrelevant nonsense, but we loved it.

Never grumpy. Never awkward (apart from a fair few random verbal nuggets that neither of us saw coming 😅). Never the wrong attitude. Always a pleasure to deal with.
Made the test look a joke, she was sooo close to perfection (had the audacity to grab 1 minor fault).
First time through. Absolutely outstanding!

Just as much unpredictable and scatty as determined and delightful, Victoria Wells is a welcome addition to the DFL Hall of Fame.
Neither of us really knew what adventures awaited us until we trundled on our merry way but it was never disappointing.

Admittedly we had some setbacks, such is life, but she always got back up and achieved!

Marvellous Vicki, mega pleased for you. See you out there.

I was brought up with this pub and it's where I chuck my darts (currently undefeated in the Summer Slam, just saying).

Once you passed, unless you can get a lift, trundle along down the riverside and enjoy great food, warm atmosphere, plenty of interesting characters and have a long gawk at that darts league table 😉👋

Another one to step off the First Time Pass Bus is the fantastic Benjamin Ellis. We enjoyed debating about the World Cup, belittling Donny Trump and his new best mate 'Tino FIFA, and dissecting most sports in general oh and we did mention driving sometimes.

We didn't need to spend too much time working really because he took it in his stride. 2 minors and an easy first time pass was the proof.
Marvellous, Ben. Up those Rams!
