🌧️🚗 BAD WEATHER, BIGGER STOPPING DISTANCES! 🚗🌧️

The roads are getting wetter, the mornings are getting darker, and your stopping distance could be getting a LOT longer! 😬

As your driving instructor, here’s your reminder to stay safe out there! 👇

🌧️ WET ROADS: Your stopping distance is at least DOUBLE compared with dry roads.

❄️ ICY ROADS: Your stopping distance can be up to 10 times greater!

🌫️ POOR VISIBILITY: Slow down, use your lights correctly and give yourself more time to react.

🚘 THE 2-SECOND RULE: In good conditions, leave at least a 2-second gap from the vehicle in front. In wet weather, make it AT LEAST 4 seconds. In ice and snow, leave even more space.

🛑 REMEMBER: Stopping distance = THINKING DISTANCE + BRAKING DISTANCE.

The worse the weather, the more space you need. Ease off the accelerator, brake gently and avoid sudden steering or braking.

And please, don’t be that driver sitting so close behind someone that you can read their MOT certificate! 😂🤦‍♀️

💙 Arrive safely, not quickly. A few extra minutes is always better than an accident.

📢 Share this with a learner driver or anyone who needs a reminder!

🚗💙

Love waking up this.. 🥹❤️

There’s nothing more rewarding than watching someone go from their very first driving lesson to passing their test and heading out on the roads independently!

It’s not just about teaching someone to pass a test. It’s about building confidence, overcoming nerves and helping someone achieve something they’ll have for life. 🚗✨

Knowing I’ve played a part in that journey means so much.

And hearing that you’ve already been out driving on your own, in the dark, makes me even prouder! 🥰

Thank you for trusting me to be part of your journey. Enjoy every minute of your new freedom!

🚗 IMPORTANT DVSA UPDATE – PARENTS & LEARNER DRIVERS, PLEASE READ! 🚗🚨

NEW RULES FOR SWAPPING DRIVING TESTS!

If you’re thinking of swapping your driving test with another learner, there are some important rules you NEED to know!

❗ Here’s what you need to know:

🔴 You can only make 2 changes to your driving test booking. Swapping your test counts as ONE of those changes.

🔴 Both learners must already have a driving test booked and must agree to exchange their exact appointments.

🔴 Both learners must have at least ONE change remaining.

🔴 Swaps are restricted to the same test centre, one of the 3 nearest centres or your original booking centre. The location rules must work for BOTH learners.

🔴 You must arrange the swap at least 10 FULL WORKING DAYS before the earliest test.

🔴 Both learners must contact DVSA separately by telephone. Swapping cannot be done online.

🚨 PARENTS AND PUPILS – THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT!

Please, please speak to your driving instructor BEFORE agreeing to swap your test!

Just because you’ve found an earlier test DOES NOT mean you’re ready for it or that your instructor is available.

I cannot swap your test for you under the new rules.

⚠️ If you arrange a test without checking with me first, I cannot guarantee that I or my tuition car will be available.

Let’s work together to make sure you’re properly prepared and avoid unnecessary stress or wasted test fees!

❤️ Theresa Mannix Driving School 🚗

Please SHARE so other learner drivers and parents are aware of these changes!

🥹 THIS is why I love my job! ❤️🚗

What an absolutely lovely message to receive from Taylor. Messages like this honestly mean so much to me.

Learning to drive isn’t always just about clutch control, roundabouts and passing a test. Sometimes it’s about rebuilding confidence, overcoming nerves and actually believing you can do it.

Taylor came to me wanting to get his licence back and, after plenty of hard work, determination and probably me talking her ears off 😂… HE DID IT! 🎉🚗

Thank you so much for these lovely words, Taylor. I’m incredibly happy for you and so pleased I got to be part of your journey. ❤️
