20 years of WyeDrive. 🎉

Not just 20 years of lessons, cars, or tests — but 20 years of people going places they couldn’t go before.

A driving licence means different things to different people. Freedom. Independence. Confidence. For many, it was a quiet turning point — the moment life got a little bigger.

None of those journeys happen alone. WyeDrive has been shaped by a team of dedicated instructors over the years — different personalities, different styles, same commitment to doing the job properly.

As part of our 20th anniversary year, we’d love to hear your story. If you learned with WyeDrive — last year or back in the early days — tell us what passing your test changed for you, or where that licence has taken you. 👇

Tag someone who learned with WyeDrive — past or present pupil, we want to hear from you both! 🚗✨

Here’s to 20 years — and to all the roads that followed.

Following the response to my roundabout video — and what a response it has been — I want to address something.

The phrase “what the locals do” was poorly chosen and I understand why it became the focus of so much debate. It implied local habit over professional reasoning and that was never my intention. With hindsight I should have been clearer.

What I should have said — and what I believe — is this. In the absence of road markings, the Highway Code asks you to use the information available and position appropriately for your exit. My choice of the right hand side is based on over 22 years of professional observation at this specific junction, including the risk of being misread as turning left and the potential for vehicles to undercut on the inside. That is risk assessment, not local custom.

I stand by my positioning and my explanation entirely.

One thing I didn’t address in the video — and several people asked — is how I teach learner drivers at this junction. That’s a separate conversation for another day.

Thank you to everyone who engaged, challenged, agreed and disagreed. This is exactly the kind of conversation road safety needs more of.

Now, can someone please ask the council to paint some lines.

Worcester Road arriving at Ayelstone Hill to go straight towards Roman Road. Where should you position?

Today’s video shows the Monument roundabout again but this time from Three Elms Road, turning left into Yazor Road. The cause of many fails due to poor observation.

Another video in the series looking at some of the junctions around Hereford. Today it’s the start of the Monument roundabout.

đźš— DRIVING MYTHS: Time to put a few of these to bed...

Our recent “how to” videos have now clocked up over 20,000 views and one thing became clear in the comments…

There are still a LOT of driving myths doing the rounds.

So here goes:

❌ “You mustn’t cross your hands when steering”
Reality: The examiner isn’t marking your hand choreography. They’re looking for smoothness, control and safety. If crossing hands causes loss of control, that's the issue — not the hand position itself.

❌ “You must always use your handbrake every time you stop”
Reality: Not every stop needs the handbrake. The key is being secure and in control. Traffic flow, gradients and the length of the stop all matter.

❌ “You have to make mirror checks really obvious”
Reality: Don’t perform for the examiner. Check mirrors naturally and at the right times. Looking in the right place is more important than acting for the audience.

❌ “Touching the kerb is an automatic fail”
Reality: Not automatically. Gently brushing a kerb isn’t ideal, but mounting it, hitting it heavily, or causing risk is a different story.

❌ “The examiner wants to see a cautious driver”
Reality: They want to see a safe driver. There’s a difference. Driving too slowly, hesitating unnecessarily or avoiding decisions can cause just as many issues.

❌ “If you go over the speed limit you fail”
Reality: Briefly creeping over by 1–2mph while correcting speed isn’t the same as driving along ignoring limits. Context matters.

The problem with driving myths is they create nervous drivers who spend more time trying to remember internet rules than actually driving.

This video begins on college Road and demonstrates positions for mini roundabout and tricky right turn towards tudors / Currys / Pizza Hut.

The Tesco, Debenhams, MandM roundabout. Spiral roundabouts can be challenging. This is the approach and direction that causes the most issues for learner drivers in lessons and on test. It’s all about positioning. This is A49 South towards Ross-on-Wye
