There are some test routes around Derby that are more technically challenging than others.

The route through Chaddesden that includes Pentagon island and Sir Frank Whittle Way is one of them.

Yesterday, Liam Sherwin successfully navigated this route, it is probably the longest of all the routes taking 50 minutes yesterday.
A couple of faults didn’t stop him from getting a very well deserved pass.

Liam and his brother, Jack, before him are a proper credit to mum and dad. Pleasant, polite, funny and hard workers. You’re going to be just fine on this journey through life.

Well done pal, you done good!

After a blustery break up in Scotland it was great to get back and on the very first day at 8.10am Laughlan Doherty flew through his test, passing first time with just a small fault for correcting his parking. A perfect drive.

He took his examiner Dan down the A6 and over to Aston on Trent, through to Shardlow and back down the A50 to Boulton Moor and Alvaston.

I’ve so enjoyed helping Laughlan to get his independence, he’s very thoughtful and considerate to others, a genuinely kind person who it has been such a pleasure to be with.

Many congratulations my man, you have worked very hard. My great appreciation goes to mum and dad who spent many hours supporting him and giving him every opportunity to succeed. Very well done to all.

It’s Monday morning rush hour and Darcy Davis is due to start her first day at University. Before that, she’s just got the minor inconvenience of taking her driving test.

With just a couple of faults Darcy passes with ease, delivering a smooth, comfortable and confident drive down the A6, around Aston, into Shardlow and back down the A50 and A6 home.

We have had so many good times learning to drive and talking about life in general, I’m really going to miss her.

You’ve done very well, a first time pass and then on to bigger and better things. You’re going to make a superb teacher. Thank you so much for choosing me.

Tuesday lunchtime was the time Bethany Peace Atkinson to pass her test with flying colours.

Beth wasn’t over excited about her route so chose to rearrange it, not that she gave her examiner a choice, but following the prescribed route isn’t an absolute. If a student finds themselves in a situation that requires it, they can take an alternative route, without permission, and no driving faults are added. It’s a safety test, not a geography test.

So, Beth went down the A6 and along the A50 to Chellaston, up through Shelton Locke and into Allenton. At spider island she found it more appropriate to go straight ahead and the examiner helped her to complete a route down Ascot Drive and London Road.

Smart thinking from Beth, I applauded her choices as they were the safest option at that moment.

Just one recorded fault. Brilliant!

Beth has had lots of help and encouragement from her Nana and her mum. They’ve been a huge help to her. Well done family.

She’s now back at university and will make a first class teacher without any doubt.

Excellent drive Beth, you’ve done yourself proud.

Another wonderful driver on the streets on Melbourne.

Wednesday morning. James and I are doing our warm up before he goes to test. As part of the warm up we do our manoeuvres and having completed a reverse on the right side of the road. Then, an Audi backed off its drive straight into the side of our car!

So, I present to you James Mitchell, who on Wednesday was the victim of a traffic accident and then passed his test immediately after. To make it more remarkable, he even returned to the scene of the accident as part of his test!

Unbelievable!

James took his examiner down the A6 and Snakey Lane to Chellaston, up through Shelton Locke and Allenton before returning to the test centre at Alvaston.

Just incredible really. What resilience and strength of mind he showed. Well done James, I can’t heap enough praise upon you. What a day.

I’m glad to say that the other driver is ok and all was sorted without a fuss. I’ll need a couple of new doors 🙄.

Henry James is going to be having the best of weekends after passing his test in Derby.

Just one fault during his trip around Chaddesden, Sir Frank Whittle Way, Hilltop and Oakwood.

It must have been useful that his examiner, Dan, and Henry were able to spend much of their time together discussing the fate of the England football team.

Henry will go on to great things during his life and I’m very happy to have played a very small part in helping him on his way. He’s great fun to spend time with and now he can get on with his plans to travel around Australia.

Well done my man, you’re a great driver. Have a wonderful life and thank you so very much for choosing me.

Monday was so bitter sweet that I’ve been delaying making this post all week.

Let’s get the bit out of the way that has bothered me. I had two students take their test on Monday. One was not successful. It happens but they were within touching distance of the test centre, coming back, when it happened. Gutted for them.

On the other hand…

Isabella Rowe was a success, passed her test with a drive around Spondon and Oakwood in the early morning rush hour.

At least Isabella can now ferry her friends to school in her exceptionally cool Mini! (Get the roof down!)

I’m immensely proud of both of them. Just getting to the test centre can be really overwhelming and words can’t reassure you enough.

I’m so happy for Bella, she got what she’s had to work very hard for. Super star!

Well done Bella 🤗

My lovely student Isla Brown became my youngest student ever to pass a test today.

Using her own car, Isla took her examiner, Dan, for a trip around Oakwood and Breadsall.

Despite still being only 16 years old, Isla has a condition which qualifies her to learn to drive a year early. Being mobile is critical to her well being. She has passed first time with just a couple of faults.

Adulting is hard. Learning to drive is what I see as the first steps into adulting. Isla has done it just after finishing her GCSE’s.

She’s an incredible person, funny, creative, smart and has done a truly fantastic job of laughing at my dad jokes in the appropriate places.

Thank you for choosing me, you’ve made me a very happy instructor every lesson we’ve spent together. Well done, you’re simply a marvel. Gonna miss ya!

A great, caring and conscientious driver. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Isla Brown.
