Outstanding 💥 💥 💥 💥 💥 achievement today for Thomas Banks from Witherley, who has passed his driving test FIRST TIME just 3 months after turning 17 and also with zero errors whatsoever ( a rare occurrence )

Whilst I support the idea of graduated driving licences for new drivers, this result highlights it should be the decision of a fully qualified driving instructor who decides when a candidate is SAFE and ready to take a driving test. The reality is some candidates can learn more in 3 months than others can learn in 3 years ( despite taking 10 times more lessons!!-And believe me as I have coached both extremes) CONGRATULATIONS Thomas and guessing the fact you can already fly an aeroplane before taking your test today has significantly boosted your progress

Well done Jessica today (another FIRST TIME PASS with just one minor error) and thank you for helping me get one day closer to retirement

That's just about every single town village hamlet outpost between Ashby de la Zouch and Nuneaton / Hinckley ticked off now so let the wind down commence

Incredible run of passes over the last year from my little village of only approx 500 people. Thank you all for hopefully raising the benchmark of new drivers in North West Leicestershire ( hardly any minor errors between all of you)

Hopefully I can put my feet up now 🙏

A few recent passes to celebrate as I finally start to call it a day in the not to distant future

Well done to all of you

Please note however I am finally winding down and currently no longer accepting any fresh bookings

( All those provisionally booked in advance as far ahead as 2029 are fine and I will do my best to honour those who have supported me over the years by planning ahead)

Over the last couple of years I have kindly asked all current learners to no longer recommend me to their friends and family as I strive to slowly wind things down - but the phone never stops ringing with fresh enquiries so please now accept this as a big apology but I can no longer help with any fresh bookings for driving lessons

For everyone who has supported my little part time business over the last few years its a massive thank you for all your support

Winning both West Midlands and East Midlands Regional Driving Instructor of the year ( in successive years )and being runner up Driving Instructor of the year for the entire UK hopefully mean I have now done my little bit over the years to raise the standard of new drivers in Warwickshire and Leicestershire
