New rules for booking your driving test.
Instructors are no longer able to do this for pupils, that includes swaps, the responsibility is all on the pupil now to manage their own test bookings.

This is how 2 pupils can swap their driving tests, they both have to be available at the same time for a call with the dvsa.
This link explains all.

You may be able to swap your car driving test with another learner driver by phone if you both already have a test booked and want each other's test slot.

Hey everyone, present and future pupils.
Because of the forever increasing price of fuel I've had to make the decision to increase my lesson price, so from Monday 4th May the price will now be £40 per hour lesson.

I just can't take the hit on earnings anymore going forward.

£40 1 hour
£390 for 10hrs
£760 for 20hrs.

Any current block bookings will be honoured at the price.
Any block bookings paid for after the 4th will be at the new price.

So that's a wrap for me until Jan.
Thanks to all my pupils for making this year another amazing successful year.

As I only do part time hours I don't have lots of tests in a year. But I make sure the ones I do take are 100% safe to carry on their learning on their own in their cars.

So, out of 15 tests:
9 first time passes
3 fails
3 second time passes.

Happy Christmas to all my past and present pupils. 🎄

If you would like to book in for lessons in January drop me a message and I'd be happy to help.
