A huge congratulations to Thomas on passing his test today at hull test center with only three driver faults!! Thomas had to cancel his test earlier in the year due to an eye infection, and unfortunately had a long wait due to test waiting times. Thankfully the wait for that all important license is now over and Thomas is looking forward to car hunting for his first set of wheels!! Well done Tom, and here's to seeing you out and about on the roads in the near future. All the best, from Rob and Angie at Caton school of motoring. 🚘🚘🚘🚘

Manual vs. Automatic: Which is Right for You? 🚦
Thinking about starting your driving journey, but torn between choosing manual or automatic? Here is why learning manual is still one of the most rewarding decisions you can make:
🔑 Full Freedom on Your Licence: Passing in a manual car gives you a full licence to drive both manual and automatic vehicles—no restrictions!
💰 More Choice & Affordability: Manual cars are typically cheaper to purchase, insure, and maintain, giving you far more options when buying your first car.
🚘 Complete Control: Mastering gears gives you a deeper connection with your vehicle and complete command on hills, corners, and in varying weather conditions.
"I've tried manual before and couldn't get the hang of the clutch..."
If that sounds like you, you are not alone! Over the years at Caton School of Motoring, I have helped many students who previously struggled with manual gears under other instructors and felt like giving up.
Here’s what I firmly believe: with the correct training and a calm approach, anyone can master clutch control. It’s not about luck—it’s about breaking down the technique step-by-step so that it clicks naturally.
🌟 Specialist Support for Nervous Drivers
Feeling anxious behind the wheel? That is completely normal. I am specially trained to support nervous and hesitant students. There’s no rush, no shouting, and no pressure—just patient, friendly guidance tailored to your pace.
Whether you're getting behind the wheel for the very first time or looking to rebuild your confidence with manual gears, we’re here to help you succeed.

🚗 In recent years, the DVSA decided to change the way in which we, as instructors are monitored on our test performances......In presenting a candidate to test, they MUST be at a safe standard for a driving test, to make informed decisions without the help of their instructor and for the examiner to confidently sign the PASS CERTIFICATE.

🚗 If an instructor has too many FAILS, it can trigger what is known as a Standards Check, whereby a DVSA Enforcement agent (yep, stupid title) gets to sit in the back of the instructors lesson and score their performance 🤔 Grade A Grade B or FAIL... Now you may think that this is a good thing, to check on how instructors teach/value for money etc!

🚗 However, an instructor can be the BEST, with fantastic rapport with their pupils, informative and liveability BUT if they FAIL their Standards Check 3 times, they LOSE their livelihood and their badge removed!!!

🚗 So, before any of you judge that its harsh of the instructor to refuse the use of their car, if they feel that YOU are not at the acceptable standard to pass...Think again! To you, it's a rearranged driving test but to them - It could be the difference between TEACHING OR NOT!

🚗 We, any of us do not make the decision out of spite/nastiness or vindictiveness BUT ultimately to KEEP YOU SAFE!

A huge congratulations to Daryl on passing his test on Monday in Grimsby. With tests in hull still proving elusive, Daryl opted to take his test in Grimsby because he had previously lived there and had some familiarity with the roads. Daryl held his nerves in check and romped home with an excellent pass with only a couple of driver faults!! Well done Daryl, from Rob and Angie Caton at Caton School of Motoring!!

A huge congratulations to Liam on passing his test at hull test center with only three driver faults. Liam had the 09:17 test which can be a bit awkward due to the bus lane times, but still managed to romp home with a great pass. Liam is looking forward to not having to cycle to work anymore or rely on lifts from dad and girlfriend! I have now had the pleasure of teaching all three family members to drive, and it is always a pleasure getting a wave as they pass on the roads. Happy driving Liam, from Rob and Angie Louise Caton at Caton school of motoring. 🚗🚗🚗

A huge congratulations to Evie on passing her test yesterday in Bridlington! Evie didn't tell a soul she had her driving test today, and I think that took the pressure off a little bit. Despite that, the nerves started to kick in during the test, and the examiner asked Evie if she would like to take a drink when they were parked at the side of the road. This helped to calm those nerves down and Evie romped back to the test centre with a solid pass with only a couple of driver faults. Despite what people often think, the examiners aren't out to 'fail' people, they genuinely want you to do your best! The examiner didn't need to do what she did to help calm Evie's nerves, but that small gesture might have been what ultimately made the difference on the day. I have seen these small gestures of kindness from examiners play out at multiple different test centers, so the next time someone tells you the examiners are out to 'get you' or 'trip you up' think again. They simply have a job to do, and a very difficult one at that, so pass or fail please be kind to them!! Credit also needs to be given to Evie's parents for taking Evie out for private practice. This was a team effort throughout. I will miss Evie putting up with my silly jokes (she even laughed at one once), and the great banter we had during lessons, but I am looking forward to seeing her out on the roads on the way to pick friends up with a huge smile on her face! All the best, from Rob and Angie Louise Caton at Caton school of motoring!! ♥️♥️♥️🚘🚘🚘

A huge congratulations to Nathan on passing his test today at hull test center with only a few driver faults. Nathan was predictably nervous on the way to the test center, but feeling confident that his abilities as a driver would shine through. The smile on Nathan's face said it all when he arrived back at the test centre forty minutes later with that all important pass. A huge thanks to Nathan's parents for taking him out for lots of private practice and a massive well done from Rob and Angie Louise Caton at Caton School of Motoring. 💪💪💪🚗🚗🚗💨💨💨

A huge congratulations to Will on passing his test today at York test center with only three driver faults! With practical tests very hard to come by in Hull at the moment, my learners are having to go further afield. Wills dad had been trying to get his test moved closer, but frustratingly couldn't get one and so we had to make the decision to stick with the York test. We went up to York the weekend before to have a drive around the local area and run a couple of test routes, and in my opinion this proved crucial on the day, helping to calm the inevitable test day nerves, and romp home with that all important test pass! Well done Will for holding it together in difficult circumstances and passing with flying colours, and also a huge thank you to Wills dad for all the hours of private practice and all the work you did trying to secure Will a test! Will turns 18 in a few days and is looking forward to a few days off with the lads and I'm sure those birthday celebrations will be extra special now!! All the best, from Rob and Angie at Caton School of Motoring. 😁😁😁🚘🚘🚘🚗🚗🚗✅✅✅
