Another day, another pass. Congratulations this time to Syrena Duffy who passed her practical driving test this afternoon at the first attempt with a stunning drive around the outskirts of the city via Hogwarts and completing a perfect forward bay park manoeuvre, collecting just 3 driving faults along the way. Syrena joins her brother Fin in the famous First Time Gang™️ (so hardly any pressure on their younger brother when he gets his turn in a few years 😆).
Well done Syrena and thanks again for choosing Right Turn School Of Motoring 👍🏻

Congratulations to Connor Jackson who passed his practical driving test in style earlier today at the first attempt with a superb drive around the outskirts of the city, executing a perfect parallel park and collecting just 3 driving faults along the way, thus earning his place in the famous First Time Gang™️. He didn’t even feel nervous before hand, just wanted to get on with it and give it a right good go. Well done mate on a well deserved pass. Enjoy your holiday and thanks again for choosing Right Turn School Of Motoring 👍🏻

Congratulations to Olivia Bell who passed her practical driving test in style this morning with a sensational drive around Pity Me, Framwellgate Moor and the outskirts of the city, finishing with a fabulous forward bay park and collecting just 2 driving faults. Some great feedback from her examiner (the same examiner her sister Jess passed with 4 years ago). Well done Olivia, it’s been a blast. I’ll pop in for a Starbucks the next time I’m at the metro. Thanks again for choosing Right Turn School Of Motoring.

p.s. Hurry up and play Zelda! 🤣🤣

Please join me in saying congratulations to Claire Watson who passed her practical driving test this morning in Durham with a superb drive through the city centre, collecting just 3 driving faults along the way. We’ve had some great laughs along the way and she will be a tough one to replace. She has worked so hard for this result and fully deserves the pass. Some great feedback from her examiner too. Excellent result Claire, I’m delighted for you! 👍🏻

Congratulations to Fin Kentish who passed his practical driving test this morning in Durham in his own car. The test was booked recently and clashed with my birthday weekend so he went with his dad as I anxiously awaited the good news text. After completing a forward bay park back at the test centre he set off for a superb drive around the outskirts of the city and Hogwarts. Big shout out to his parents for helping with private practice and for taking my place at the test centre this morning, I couldn’t be there but I was certain he was gonna do it. Well done Fin and thanks again for choosing Right Turn School Of Motoring.

What a great way to start the week.
HUGE congratulations to Tony Cunningham who beat the nerves this morning and passed his practical driving test at the first attempt with a superb drive across Page Bank and into Spennymoor, after a terrific reverse bay park back at the test centre.
Now, whilst Tony gets himself comfortably settled in the famous First Time Gang™️, let me just tell you, when I first met him he had a major lack of self confidence, never believed he could pass first time and was literally terrified of roundabouts. But to his credit he never gave up, never cancelled, paid promptly, took any cancellation going and worked his socks off for this! We’ve had loads of laughs and he will be a difficult one to replace. He did however ask if we could play the Christmas playlist in September which is too early even for me!
Well done Tony lad, and thanks again for choosing Right Turn School Of Motoring! 👏🏻👏🏻

Another day, another pass and another inductee into the famous First Time Gang™️!

Congratulations this time to Charlie Wright who not only passed his practical driving test earlier today, but he did so without collecting a single driving fault. That’s right, he becomes one of only 1 in 100 000 people who managed to pass with a clean sheet. A staggering achievement and finally the boys are starting to catch up with the girls (it’s currently 7-2 to the girls). A flawless drive around the outskirts of the city and a parallel park was enough to earn some great feedback from his examiner who needn’t have bothered bringing his iPad along to mark the faults. A stunning result. Well done Charlie and thanks again for choosing Right Turn School Of Motoring. Quite simply Amazing! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

First test of 2026 and it’s a pass with a brand new First Time Gang™️ member!

Congratulations to Jessica Cook who passed her practical driving test at the first attempt very early this morning in Durham with a superb drive around Tudhoe, Spennymoor and tackling the infamous Thinford roundabout and collecting just 2 driving faults along the way. After a sleepless night feeling sick with nerves she soon settled down after executing a perfect forward bay park round the back of the test centre and showed the examiner what I knew she was capable of. I will genuinely miss our weekly chats about how the Toon have either made or ruined our weekends, never a dull moment with that lot! Well done Jessica and thanks again for choosing Right Turn School Of Motoring. 👍🏻

P.S. she was feeling rather camera shy but if you zoom in you can just see her diving behind the car as I tried to take the picture 😅

We've launched a new Road Safety Strategy, aiming to cut deaths and serious injuries on Britain’s roads by 65% by 2035.

Key points include:
- tougher action on drink driving
- minimum learning periods for learner drivers
- mandatory eye tests for older drivers

We're committed to doing what it takes to save thousands of lives and ease pressure on the NHS.

Our new Road Safety Strategy is a major step towards safer roads and stronger communities.

Well folks, that’s a wrap on 2025, a year in which actually managing to get your hands on a practical driving test has been difficult to say the least, although we are quietly confident that things will start improving soon. Another year of meeting and helping some fabulous people achieve their dreams of gaining independence, from complete novice to fully qualified driver. And although it’s been a year in which I have reduced my working hours further I still love this wonderful industry as much as I did when I joined it 20 years ago and am very much looking forward to meeting many more of you in 2026. So let’s take a moment to congratulate to class of 2025 which included 8 new inductees into the RightTurn School Of Motoring First Time Gang™️ and one zero hero with her prized clean sheet.

Stand up and take a bow….
