Another test, another pass with student number 11 this year getting their full licence. So, massive congratulations to Jakub who has passed his test today with ease at Merthyr Tydfil Driving Test Centre.

You have first time pass bragging rights of course, never expected anything less from you, but also driving away with just two driver faults shows your calm demeanour, sensible attitude and lovely control & skill.
It has been my genuine pleasure to share your company and to see you develop your driving skills. You’re a lovely driver and a lovely human being.

Don’t be a stranger! I’m so proud of you!!
Congratulations, well deserved young man, enjoy your celebrations xx

Would you look at this smile! And very well deserved it is too! Huge congratulations to Jade passing your driving test today at Merthyr Tydfil Driving Test Centre with just 4 driving faults!
The nerves were very much present beforehand but you started conversations with your examiner, took a second to have a drink and breathe at each stop, relaxed and took control. I could not be more proud of you!!! It was a pleasure to see you pass today & has been a pleasure and a wonderful journey watching you flourish. Congratulations Jade! You’re not getting rid of me that easily… i’ll see you soon! Xx

Side note, I’ve had the pleasure to listen to Jade sing live at Brecon Jazz. If you get the opportunity to go see her sing, go! Give her a follow on this link & try and catch a gig 👌🏻

And the lovely passes (and pass streak 💪🏻)
continue! Congratulations to my student Emily who sat her test today at Merthyr Tydfil Driving Test Centre at 7.23am!!!! That early alarm (5am 😳🫩😴🥱) was worth it, 4 driving faults… hilariously 2 were for going a little too fast and 2 were for going a little too slow 😂😂
I’m very proud of you, stay safe & see you soon! X

We’re on a roll for 2026….yet another lovely pass! 5th of the year and keeping my pass streak…Ella!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Fair play, you were very nervous this morning until the test started then you just channelled your inner zen and enjoyed a little drive about while chatting to the examiner and came away with 4 teeny faults!
It was a privilege to sit in the car and see you pass, I’m bursting with pride! I wasn’t crying, there was something in my eye 🫣🥹
Congratulations kiddo! Look forward to seeing you on the road! Don’t be a stranger, i’ll miss you! xXx

Shall we go for a driving test on Friday 13th?! Ummm…. YAH!!!
Today was a very special one for me! Logan, you’ve blown my mind today! Not only did you overcome the test terror (actual hyperventilating terror, not just nerves) you absolutely aced it with two driver faults and lovely feedback from your examiner. I am so overwhelmed with joy for you, your determination has paid off and you absolutely deserve your full licence. I could not be more proud of you!
See you soon dude, you’re not getting rid of me that easily, you’re buying the coffee 🙂

Special thanks to the driving test examiners at Merthyr Tydfil Driving Test Centre who always show such care and support when carrying out tests; I am very grateful to you for your unwavering kind professionalism.
