⭐️🚗 FIRST TIME PASS 🚙⭐️

She Shoots…..She Scores! ⚽️

Congratulations 🎉🍾🥂🥳 to Isabelle Kent who passed her driving test in Bury St Edmunds on Tuesday 01 September 2026 at the first attempt with only 2 driving faults!

I feel at this point that I should mention aja.driving.school (Ashley Allen). Issy started her driving journey with Ashley who taught her the basic procedures and I then took over to add the spit and polish! Between the two of us, I think we did a pretty good job!

Stay safe on the roads, keep learning every time you get behind the wheel and try to be courteous to other road users. Enjoy your newfound independence and freedom! Well done, Issy, with your well deserved first time pass!

Thank you for choosing MRW Driving! 🚗💨

⭐️🚗 FIRST TIME PASS 🚙⭐️

Congratulations to Ethan Bonilla who passed his driving test in Cambridge on Wednesday 26 August 2026 at the first attempt with only 5 driving faults.

We had a lesson the day before Ethan’s test and it didn’t go well! If it had been his actual test, he would have failed at least 3 times! I think he went home and gave himself a pep talk and a kick up the a*^e, because he was so much better today when it came to the real thing!

Stay safe on the road, enjoy your new found independence and freedom and keep on learning every time you get behind the wheel!

Well done, Ethan, with your well deserved first time pass. You always applied yourself, listened well to the feedback given and worked hard to improve with every lesson.

🚗💨 Test Pass - Cambridge 🚙💨

Shy is not a word I would use to describe this student but she definitely was NOT having her photo taken!

Congratulations 🎉🍾🥂🥳 to Elsie Frostick who passed her driving test on Monday 20 July 2026 in Cambridge with only 3 driving faults.

I met Elsie and her family about 7 years ago and I was touched when her Mum contacted me and told me that Elsie would like to have me as her driving instructor!

Elsie has been a great student and we have had a blast! Her sense of humour and non stop talking have made every lesson so enjoyable. There was only one lesson where I felt sad…..poor squirrel! 🐿️

Stay safe on the roads, keep learning every time you get behind the wheel and try to be courteous to other road users. Enjoy your new found independence and freedom. Well done, Elsie, with your deserved pass today!

⭐️ Izzy….You Did it! ⭐️

Congratulations 🥳🍾🥂🎉 to Isobel Kirkby who passed her driving test in Cambridge on Wednesday 08 July 2026 with only one (1) driving fault!

Given how nervous and anxious you were, just before the test, the feedback given to you by the examiner was fantastic!

No more sitting around for me, waiting for you to get ready for your lessons! The one thing that I would ask you to try to improve is your reading of the road!

Stay safe on the roads, enjoy your new found independence and freedom, keep learning every time you get behind the wheel and try to be courteous to other road users.

Well done, Izzy, and thank you for choosing to learn with MRW Driving! 🚗💨

⭐️ FIRST TIME PASS ⭐️

Congratulations 🥳🥂🍾🎉 to Rafaela Moreira Mateus who passed her driving test at the first time of asking on Wednesday 08 July 2026 with only one (1) driving fault!

Rafa came to me asking for help at the last minute when her previous instructor chose a new career path. We didn’t have much time to work on a few issues but hard work pays off!

Try to keep learning every time you get behind the wheel. Enjoy your new found independence and freedom, stay safe on the roads and try to be courteous to other road users. Well done, Rafa!

Thank you for choosing MRW Driving to get you over the line! 🚗💨

🚗💨 Test Pass in Bury St Edmunds 🚙💨

Congratulations 🥳🍾🥂🎉 to Esmee Driver-Grindling who passed her test in Bury St Edmunds on Tuesday 30 June 2026 with only 5 driving faults.

Sitting in the back of the car whilst your student is taking their test is never easy! You have to watch as things start to unfold in front of you and when your student does a reverse bay park that ends up in a bush, you start to fear the worst!

The bush survived and so did Esmee! Enjoy your new found independence and freedom, stay safe on the roads and try to be courteous to other road users! Well done, Esmee!

‘Gallop To The Finish Line!’

Congratulations 🥳🍾🥂🎉 to Ella Casburn who passed her driving test at the first attempt in Cambridge on Friday 26 June 2026 with only 3 driving faults!

Ella went into her driving test full of confidence. I don’t think failing was an option! We had a couple of incidents whilst she was learning to drive that made me smile. Ask her about the wall on her driveway next time you see her!

Stay safe on the roads and keep learning every time you get behind the wheel. Enjoy your new found independence and freedom and try to be courteous to other road users. Well done, Ella, with your well deserved first time pass!

⭐️🚗 ‘By George, He’s Done It!’ 🚙⭐️

Congratulations 🥳🍾🥂🎉 to George Lee who passed his driving test in Bury St Edmunds on Monday 22 June 2026 with only 4 driving faults.

The majority of the hard work in teaching George to drive had already been done by his Mum, Sophie Lee. George was another prime example of how important it is to get out and gain experience, if you are able to do so, with a family member or friend.

I only had to get rid of a couple of bad habits and teach George the test manoeuvres. There was also the small matter of some non-existent observations! We got there in the end!

Enjoy your new found independence and freedom, stay safe on the roads and try to be courteous to other road users.

CORE TEST SKILL AND MANOEUVRES
Lane Discipline: A Small Skill That Makes a Big Difference

Good lane discipline keeps traffic flowing smoothly and makes every journey safer - especially on roundabouts, dual carriageways, and busy multi‑lane roads. When you hold a steady, predictable position, other drivers instantly understand what you intend to do.

Poor lane discipline can cause hesitation, last‑minute swerves, and confusion for the drivers around you. That’s when mistakes and near‑misses happen.

Strong lane discipline starts with early planning:
1. Look well ahead and read signs in good time
2. Use road markings to choose the correct lane early
3. Avoid drifting or last second lane changes

Before moving lanes, always use mirror → signal → manoeuvre and only change your position when it is safe to do so. Checking your blind spot just before you move over into another lane is important.

Clear, confident lane positioning shows awareness, forward planning, and control - exactly what the examiners are looking for on your test day!

CORE TEST SKILLS AND MANOEUVRES

Following Distance

Maintaining a safe following distance gives you more time to react to hazards and shows good awareness of what’s happening ahead. Driving too close reduces your ability to stop safely if traffic suddenly slows.

Use the two-second rule in dry conditions and increase this gap when the road is wet, icy, or busy. This simple habit greatly reduces the risk of collisions and helps create smoother journeys.

⭐ The Core Rule: The 2‑Second Rule

This is the standard safe‑following guideline in the UK for dry, clear conditions.
🚗 Pick a fixed point ahead (a sign, tree, lamp post).
🚗 When the vehicle in front passes it, say to yourself:
“Only a fool breaks the two‑second rule.”
🚗 If you reach the fixed point before you finish saying it, you’re too close!

Why it works
🚗 It adjusts automatically with speed.
🚗 It’s based on time, not metres, so it works whether you are travelling at 20 mph or 70 mph.
