From today, there will be more changes for learner drivers.

Only you can book or manage your car driving test. This means your driving instructor won’t be allowed to book it for you.

Big, big congratulations to Abi Mudd for passing her driving test in Sevenoaks with supreme control, at an ungodly hour this morning!! 😴

Abi has been learning to drive for a few months now; lessons firstly in the C-HR, increasingly driving with family and now buzzing around in the Audi. She can be overwhelmed with anxiety on occasions and often experienced rapid heart rate, sweaty palms and huge panic, but has found successful ways to cope.

Today, after calming down by using a mix of Balance and Frankincense essential oils, Abi drove a gorgeous drive with her examiner (and me sitting in the back).... completely at one with the car; controlled with a now very natural balance of confidence, freedom and engagement. Its always lovely when examiners give such well deserved praise at the end of a test.

Abi has a VW Polo that she can now get backwards and forwards to school in and drive friends around for days out (maybe doughnuts on the beach in Brighton). It'll be a life changer, as she and her horse live in a pretty remote place and she'll be so glad to give her busy mum a rest! I'm so so thrilled for her. Its been a real pleasure to work and support her and I hope we keep in touch 🚙💨...... ooooh yes, thanks again for the chocs and flowers! 💟

***Testimonial - Rebecca Lawrence***

I passed my driving test nearly 12 years ago, but never had the confidence to drive on my own. I tried having lessons with a couple of instructors over the years, but my thinking didn’t change. I found Lin online and met her to chat about how we would work together, all based around understanding why I thought and felt as I did!!
Wow, this was such a life changer!!
In our very first in-car session I conquered so many of the fears I thought were deep set and found myself driving with a smile on my face! In the last few weeks Lin came with me to take the kids to school, get shopping in town and even followed me the first time I drove to work! Altogether a completely different approach to helping me deal with my driving fears than I’d experienced with others!
I’m pleased we have a follow up session booked in a couple of months. I don’t want to let the gremlins take over again and I know Lin will guide me with whatever challenges appear in the coming weeks.
You’re a miracle worker with such a kind heart. Thanks for all you’ve done to help me and my family, Lin.
All my love Rebecca x

Testimonial - From Katherine Jemmett re Ella Beare

I contacted Lin when my daughter was looking to switch from manual to automatic driving lessons. We were keen for someone empathetic, supportive & encouraging, & Lin was exactly that. She was so clear & methodical with her instructions & communication, & this was a constant throughout each & every lesson. Ella felt so ready for her test due to Lin’s excellent preparation, & she supported her both before & after the test itself.
We cannot recommend Lin highly enough, a beautiful human, & clearly a very experienced & knowledgable instructor.

We are so grateful for you Lin, & will be in touch as soon as Ella has a car..

Big congratulations to Ciaran Price for passing his Theory Test earlier today! The studying for this test has really helped improve his knowledge of what happens on the road as well as his driving competence. Well done Ciaran. Now we need to TRY to book a practical test! 🚗💨

Well, there were smiles in and outside the car this morning during 78 year old Pamela’s lesson!!

She has held a driving licence for nearly 60 years and driven all over the country, but lost confidence when her husband bought a bigger electric vehicle and as a result, hasn’t driven at all for the last 3 years!!

After checking her understanding of the controls in a nice quiet area, she drove to her son’s house, to her grandson’s school, parked in Sainsbury’s car park and ended up picking up speed on a two lane dual carriageway (something that was a specific worry prior to today). She let 3 other drivers emerge in front of us in busy traffic…… 2 of the drivers smiled at her and one gave a thumbs up!! 👍🏼 Her confidence soared and today’s ’Secret Mission’ was successfully completed
