Nothing gives us greater pleasure than seeing our pupils overcome their anxiety and smash their driving test. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Wednesday was an epic day for Robyn Thompson, who is heavily pregnant with her 1st bundle of joy. Robyn achieved a 𝗙𝗔𝗡𝗧𝗔𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗖 𝗙𝗜𝗥𝗦𝗧 𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗘 𝗣𝗔𝗦𝗦 🎉🥳🚗🚙🎉🥳🚗🚙🎉🥳🚗

The examiner was really lovely and very reassuring that they wouldn’t be doing an emergency stop…. Plus very understanding of Robyn’s hormones and emotions being all over the place. The examiner really did make the biggest difference to Robyn’s confidence and let her take a breather when it was all getting too much.

Robyn has been helped by Nicky, who proudly watched Robyn on test. After the initial nerves were quashed. Robyn proved to the examiner what a capable driver she is and how she will be safely transporting her new baby when he arrives. 🩵 Nicky says it been a delight to watch Robyn continue to grow in confidence each week. Nicky delivers automatic lessons in Wharfedale.

Well done Robyn (and Matt) for all the hard work and practice you have undertaken - “𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙎𝙪𝙘𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙄𝙨 𝙊𝙪𝙧 𝙎𝙪𝙘𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨” 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The Driving Academy Team all wish you many years of safe and happy driving. 🚗

At The Driving Academy, we continually train new instructors to carry on our ethos: preparing pupils to cope with the challenges of post test driving to help them drive safely for life, not just to pass their driving test.

Yesterday Kev took his final qualifying Part 3 test, accompanied by his pupil Josh, and we are delighted with the positive and encouraging feedback he received from the examiner.

Kev has trained with Nicky Harris, our Instructor Trainer, from day one. Nicky proudly builds our team from her own trainees, and Kev has worked diligently through home study and training sessions to reach his goal.

Well done, Kev – you've been a star ⭐️ trainee. Enjoy your new part-time career!
