Oh how I laughed. I almost cried, with laughter. And then I realised it wasn't a joke.

The DVSA are dropping their time scale to reduce driving test waiting times. They still want the average seven week wait though.

"It'll all be over by Christmas. We're just not sure which one it will be". 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Huge congratulations to Mia who passed her test this morning at Farnborough DTC.

Mia decided to take her own car, which is why we have just a photo of one of our cars.

It must have been a lovely drive as there were only 3 driver faults recorded.

Stay safe out their Mia. Give me a 👋 wave if it's safe to do so. All the very best to you .

Congratulations to Amy who has just passed her driving test on her first attempt 👏 😄

An outstanding drive with ZERO recorded driver faults.

Amy's a bit camera shy, so just a photo of one of our cars instead.

Stay safe out there Amy. It's been an absolute pleasure.

For anyone waiting for the footage of the incident with a bronze Tesla. I am currently not allowed to share this footage as I have sent it to the Police.

Congratulations to Jonas who has passed his test today at Farnborough DTC with 2 driver faults recorded.

What must have been a lovely drive, left the examiner reaching for their pass certificates and leaving us with our smiles.

Well done Jonas, keep it safe, watch out for those idiots (special thanks to the Tesla driver who was on the wrong lane, and cut me up when I was taking Jonas home - video to follow when I get the time).

A second test and another pass in the same day for Mitchell Driving School! This is Charlie, who passed his Test 1st time with only 3 minor faults. Charlie lives near us and already has his own car so I expect a wave from him! His first drive will be to work which will be so liberating. Charlie is the 2nd of 3 brothers I've taught and there's one more to go. See you out on the roads and congratulations! 🚗🎉🚦👏
