🚨 FIRST TIME PASS… WITH JUST 1 DRIVING FAULT! 🚨

A massive congratulations to Blake Palmer, who absolutely smashed his driving test this morning at Watford Test Centre! 🎉🚗

✅ Passed FIRST TIME
🔥 Just ONE driving fault
🏆 An incredible result!

Huge credit to Blake for putting all the hard work into practice when it mattered most, and a big well done to his instructor Jay for helping him get test-ready. 👏

One driving fault away from perfection… we think he’ll take that! 😮‍💨😂

Enjoy the freedom, Blake — you’ve earned it! 🚘💨

🚨 You DON’T start your Part 3 test on 0/51.

You start on 51/51. 👀

That means you’re not walking into the car trying to convince the examiner that you’re good enough.

Think of it differently…

The marks are already yours. Your job is to KEEP them.

Every time you identify what your pupil needs, adapt the lesson, manage risk effectively and help them learn, you’re giving the examiner fewer reasons to take those marks away.

So instead of starting your Part 3 thinking:

❌ “I need to impress this examiner.”
❌ “I need to somehow get 31 marks.”
❌ “What if I mess this up?”

Try:

💭 “I’ve got 51. Now let’s see how many I can keep.”

It’s only a change in mindset…

But if you’re sitting outside the test centre with your nerves going crazy, it might completely change how you approach those next 45 minutes.

51/51. Protect the score. 🎯

🚗 I realised I was checking my mirrors… but I wasn’t actually LOOKING. 👀

For ages, I thought I was doing the right thing because I was checking my mirrors regularly.

But then my instructor made me realise something…

I was checking them almost out of habit — without really taking in what I could see. 😳

Now, every time I check my mirrors, I ask myself:

💭 “What is this information telling me… and what do I need to do with it?”

Is someone following closely?
Is there a cyclist beside me?
Is another car about to overtake?
Do I need to change my speed, position or decision?

That one little change has made my mirror checks feel completely different.

Don’t just CHECK your mirrors. USE them. 👀🚗

Another lesson learned on my driving journey! 🙌

Follow along for more things I’m learning as I work towards getting my licence. 🤞🚘

I genuinely thought my driving instructor was being dramatic… 😭🚗

“STOP staring at the car in front of you.”

Erm… WHERE ELSE AM I SUPPOSED TO LOOK?! 😂

But then he explained it — and suddenly it made complete sense.

👀 Look too close = you’re constantly REACTING.
🔭 Look further ahead = you can start PLANNING.

You spot hazards earlier.
You have more time to make decisions.
You brake earlier.
And driving suddenly feels SO much calmer.

Such a tiny change, but it’s genuinely made one of the biggest differences to my driving so far.

Now whenever I catch myself staring at the car ahead, I can practically hear my instructor:

“LOOK FURTHER AHEAD!” 😂

What’s the BEST driving tip anyone has ever given you? 👇

Drop it in the comments — I’m stealing the good ones. 😂🚗💨

🚨 You had to grab the steering wheel on your Part 3… NOW WHAT?

First: DON’T PANIC.

Second: DON’T pretend it didn’t happen. 👀

A physical or verbal intervention is serious — but one of the BIGGEST mistakes trainee instructors make is carrying on with the lesson as if nothing happened.

The examiner isn’t only watching the intervention…

They’re watching what you do NEXT. 🎯
If appropriate, find somewhere safe to pull over and turn that moment into a learning opportunity.

💬 What did your pupil see?
🧠 What were they thinking?
❓ Why did the situation develop?
💡 What could THEY do differently next time?

Rather than immediately giving them the answer, get your pupil thinking, reflecting and finding their own solution.

That’s where you can demonstrate some of your BEST coaching skills.

An intervention doesn’t have to define your Part 3 lesson.

Your response to it might.

Save this before your Part 3 and follow for more ADI training tips. 🚗🎓

🍽️🚗 A KITCHEN PLATE improved my steering?!

One small tip has completely changed the way I steer… and I’ve even been practising it at home! 😂

Using a plate to practise the pull-push steering technique has helped me understand the hand movement, stay in control and make my steering feel so much smoother behind the wheel.

Sometimes it’s the simplest tricks that make the BIGGEST difference. 🙌

I’m still learning, still improving and getting closer to that licence with every lesson! 🚘✨

Follow to continue my journey and see if I can finally get that driving licence! 👀

🚨 ANOTHER ONE PASSES! 🚨🚗💨

That feeling when the examiner says the words you’ve been waiting for… “I’m pleased to tell you, you’ve PASSED!” 🎉🙌

A huge congratulations to our latest newly qualified driver! 🪪✅ All those lessons, nerves and hours of practice have officially paid off.

And a massive shoutout to instructor Miki 👏 Another pupil successfully over the finish line — fantastic work!

One learner journey ends… and a lifetime of driving begins. 🔥🚘

Who’s going to be next? 👀

🎉🚗 SHE PASSED! 🚗🎉

A massive congratulations to Maryline Maruthan, who passed her driving test this morning at Watford Test Centre with just 5 driving faults! 👏🔥

All the lessons, practice and hard work have paid off — Maryline is officially a FULL licence holder! 🪪🚘

A huge well done to her instructor Jay too for helping her get test-ready and over that finish line! 🙌

Enjoy the freedom, Maryline — drive safe and we’ll see you out on the roads! 💙

🚨 I genuinely can't believe nobody taught me this sooner...

I always thought braking was just about pressing the pedal. Turns out, there's a technique called progressive braking, and it's completely transformed the way I drive.

No more harsh stops. No more last-second braking. Just smooth, controlled and confident driving.

If you're learning to drive, this is one tip you definitely don't want to miss.

Follow my journey as I share the lessons, mistakes and breakthroughs that will (hopefully!) help me pass my driving test first time. 🚗✨

A huge shoutout also goes to Thomas, who has worked tirelessly with Louren throughout her journey. His patience, guidance and dedication have helped turn all that hard work into an incredible result. 👏
