Congratulations to Luke on passing today first time of asking with just a single driver fault. "A very nice drive" were the words of the examiner.

Luke's test was moved back 4 weeks due to a clash with A level mocks, showing a really sensible approach to managing pressures and priorities.

Having finished mocks, the confidence behind the wheel.went from strength to strength

Well done from as all

I should have been in a development meeting this morning, but instead, I accompanied Tom to his driving test.

Congratulations and well done on passing, first time with A-Class and just a single driver fault.

Even more well done considering not just 1 examiner, but 2 in the car!! The test centre manager was watching timings and manoeuvre opportunities as it was a new test route.

Tom didnt want a photo, so here's a picture of the sky....
...come on mr weatherman, this is what we want

I think they call it a hat-trick??

3rd first attempt pass this week for Kyle this time. A good solid result showing that dedication gets results

Due to the change of my car, we had lessons and took the test in Kyle's car to maintain some consistency.

Congratulations and well done. Despite the tests being delayed 1/2hour due to the immense traffic issue.

Happy car hunting

The final test in my last Focus was a pupil called Issabelle, the first pass in my new Focus is also Isobel, passing first time.

Congratulations and very well done. Proof that dedication gets results.

I'm beginning to think ordering a new car is a but overkill.

Another pass today, first time in own car, for Josh - with just a single driver fault.

Congratulations, and very well done from us all. Proving that keeping it together is what it takes

What better way to cheer up a miserable Monday morning than passing your driving test?

Congratulations to Adam, who achieved this, first time in his own car. This was due to mine being returned and he'd had far more practice in his own vehicle, than just an hour prep in my replacement.

Well done from all of us, and enjoy your new found independence

Freddie Focus has his last night at home with us. 3 weeks shy of 3 years and he has to go back to the lease company

He has pushed his luck and tried my patience during this time with multiple breakdowns early on, more tyres than I can mention and several collisions where he's been hit whilst stationary.
Thus said, I am a bit sad to see him go 😒

He has racked up over 100 passes for pupils and introduced 6 new PDI's to the industry.
He has maintained rather a special achievement. Somewhere around 150 people have driven this car, and not 1 single new person has stalled my car on the first time they drove it!!

Big thankyou to Darren and Jason at A-Class for providing the car and putting up with my whining.
Thanks to Emma and Kirsty on the service desk, Paul the master technician and Gary in parts along with the rest of the team at Invicta Ford for impeccable service and support.

Now to host a temporary car whilst we await the delivery of his replacement
