A new test centre for me today.

Gary had his test in Abergavenny this morning. It’s not often this happens but I was invited on the drive.

I have to say a big well done to Gary on passing his test with just a couple of driving faults. When he got the nerves under control it was a lovely drive to watch.

Well done Gary. Good luck on all of your future plans. I look forward to seeing you on the local roads.

The diary will be re-opening from mid October. If you are interested in taking lessons please don’t hesitate to drop me a note or give me a call.

Not posted in a while as it’s been extremely busy, but thought it’s time to put one up.

Within the last couple of weeks I made a change in business partners, moving from Red to work a cracking local driving school called Around The Bend. I can’t thank them enough for the kind welcome.

The car had a facelift with on the old vinyls being removed for a lovely new car roof box.

Today we’ve been on test. I’d like to say a BIG WELL DONE to Dylan who has passed his test with just 2 small drivers faults💪💪. Dylan had put a lot of hard work in over the last couple of weeks to get to test. As a result he’s had the all important pass. As with all of my customers it’s really enjoyable watching someone starting from scratch to become a well established driver and watching the look of shock when they’re told they’ve passed!! Well done again Dylan. I can wait to see you enjoying your new found freedom on the open roads.

The diary is now full until October, but if you are looking for lessons in the upcoming months please don’t hesitate to drop me a note.

My journey with Red Driving School has come to an end and as a result a change in direction!!

I’d like to thank the team at ATB for welcoming me into the fold and can’t wait to support the learners in my local area.

Another week, another test and another happy customer.

Well done to Leo on pass his test today. It’s not often I get invited on the drive and I have to say it was a pleasure to watch. You always know it’s a good drive when the examiner doesn’t look at his tablet and starts to make small talk.

I have to say a big well done and I can’t wait to see Leo out on the open roads.

I’m a true believer in that if you start the week on a positive note you’ll end the week on a positive.

This is the week I’ve had!!

What a week. Three tests and three extremely happy customers.

A big well done to Sara, Josh and Poppy on the all important passes. All with less than 3 driving faults. This is exceptional as they all had a challenge of getting use to a different car, experiencing an electric hand brake for the first time and having to work out the clutch and reference points again.

Also Thank You to both Sara and Poppy for leaving a review on my Goggle account. Thoroughly appreciated.

If you’re looking for lessons I still have availability on week days. Call or drop a note on messenger.

Manual lessons across the Caerphilly area.

So, with the car in for a repair it’s time to enjoy a well deserved weekend off. Enjoy the sunshine and stay safe.

Once again it’s been a mad couple of days.

Unfortunately my car broke down on Friday. I think we can finally say it’s time for a new clutch.

After a lot of panic and stress on Friday afternoon I was able to hire a car which I collected on Saturday. This has taken a lot of pressure of as I have three on test over the next four days. So after moving the diary around I managed to get everyone in the car to ensure they are comfortable with the vehicle.

The first of the test has been this morning. YES A SUNDAY MORNING!! I have to say a BIG WELL DONE to Sara who passed this morning with just 1 drivers fault. So close to the perfect drive. The challenge we had was that she had never used an electronic handbrake so this added additional pressure, plus if any one drives a Peugeot 208 you know how hard it is to see the dashboard as the steering wheel obstructs you view of the speedometer.

I’d like to thank Sara for giving a review on my new Google account.

Well done Sara. Enjoy your new found freedom. I look forward to seeing you on the open roads.
