Pot holes

The reason for avoiding them !

After a pupil hit a pot hole i checked tyres all looked fine
Took car to garage and asked them to take wheels off to double check
On the inside of 1 wheel we found damage

Who would think of taking a tyre off to look on the inside .. luckily I did .. resulted in £70 for a new tyre.

Please be aware you might not see damage on the outside .. inside is also important to check after such a big pothole.

As 2026 is approaching. Test waiting times are not improving we are already booking tests for may 2026 which in all honestly is ridiculous! In all the years I've been teaching 25 + years I've never known this.
I have many phone calls from people saying they have booked a test using a cancellation app and they need my car for test. I can not accommodate this i have my own students who have weekly lessons to get ready for their own tests. I have heard many students take an early test to"give it a go " I've also heard of students paying lots of money for a test which was treble the ammount of what they are on the official site.
Having a go because you drove in another country doesn't mean you are test ready in the uk. A lot of people that come to the uk have no idea of the rules of the road and I would strongly recommend reading the highway code book.. it is only a few pounds and will give you a good insight of how to react on our roads.
Also if you ve been having lessons in London or any major city /large town does not make you good enough to pass a test here in mid Wales as the roads are totally different to what you are used to.
Please take all this into account while preparing for your tests

I'd like to wish all my students new and old a very merry Christmas and a happy new year !
I've had another busy year with many test passes a few disappointed test fails.
The most common fault for these fails are not having enough lessons and booking a test before finding an instructor thus not having time to do as many lessons as needed.

Congratulations Ola for passing your test with no driving faults on Tuesday in newtown 😀

Well today was a 6.30 am start with 3 students to newtown for back to back tests ! LaLa was 1st with a fantastic 1st time pass, im afraid to say Ola her husband failed ( he's a really good driver and the pressure was on having his wife pass 1st 🤣) then last but not least the amazing Leena who also passed 1st time with only 1 minor fault. CONGRATULATIONS both and Ola you will succeed next time.

Here is another 1st time pass for Jiby we were so pleased he passed 1st time.
he had ,had a bad experience with another instructor who said after taking a lot of money off him in lessons that he would be unable to take his test as she refused her car due to his English not being good enough... that riled me to hear that so I took him out on a lesson his wife came too to translate as she had,had to translate for previous instructor .. I asked her not to translate to see how much he could understand and his English was very very good so he booked another test and he passed and the examiner said was a lovely drive !
