Are you looking for a driving instructor with proven track record in helping learners to achieve the success of gaining a driving licence (I currently have a 100% pass rate in the last 12 months, most of whom were successful on the first attempt and averaged only 2.5 faults per test)
I am based in Wroxall on the Isle of Wight and cover the east side of the island from Cowes to Ryde to Sandown to Ventnor & Newport.
If you feel I could help you then please get in touch
I use a manual orange Renault Clio as shown as my tuition vehicle

We are making small changes to how we take theory test payments from 24 June.
DVSA is changing the provider which allows it to take online card payments on Book your theory test from 24 June. The new provider is called GOV.UK Pay.

The payment screen will look slightly different

You do not need to take any action, but you should tell your pupils about the change. If they have used the service before, they may notice a difference.

By DVSA moving to GOV.UK Pay, you and your pupils will be able to choose to use Apple Pay and Google Pay. Many people will find this quicker and easier than a standard card payment.

IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED: Stop drive issued for some Citroen C3 and DS3 cars
A ‘stop drive’ recall has been issued across Europe by Citroën for C3 and DS3 models as of today, Friday 20 June 2025.

This is due to an issue with the airbag system and includes all C3 and DS3 vehicles built between 2009-2017 and some built between 2018-19.

DVSA fully supports the manufacturer’s decision to issue this notice.

What do I have to do?
Citroën will issue advice directly to owners of affected cars with guidance on getting the issue repaired.

If you drive one of the affected models, you should not drive it. This includes using it for driving lessons or on a driving test. You can check if your car is affected using the Citroën online checker tool using the cars Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).

Driving examiners and ADI examiners will check any Citroën C3 and DS3 models brought for test have had the necessary repairs carried out using the Citroën safety recall checker before taking them out. If the recall checker shows the repair still needs to be carried out, it will not be able to be used on test.

Telling your pupils
We are contacting all candidates with a car or instructor driving test to make them aware of the recall, how to check if their car is affected and what to do if it is.

If you or your pupils need to cancel a test due to the recall you will not lose your fee if you cancel your test within the 10 days short notice cancellation period if you do this before the 20 July 2025.

The online application form for refund applications will be available from Monday 23 June 2025.

Insurance

Every day, new drivers pass their test and take to the roads completely unaware of the importance of motor insurance and the pitfalls they could unwittingly fall foul of.
Driving uninsured or with inadequate insurance can lead to points on their licence, potentially unlimited fines, increased premiums, their vehicle being seized or even crushed, and harmed job prospects – severe consequences that can stay with them year-after-year.
As a trusted driving instructor, you may be the only person in their journey to highlight just how important car insurance really is.

30%
of adults aged 18-24 don’t know that motor insurance is compulsory for any vehicle used on public roads

44%
of adults aged 18-24 are unaware that insurance must align to how the car is used, for example to allow for commuting to work, even part-time jobs

54%
of adults don’t know about ‘Ghost Broking’, a scam where fake insurance is sold to unsuspecting drivers, often online via social media
Young drivers are often under-educated about the potential pitfalls and are at risk of having their independence removed before they’ve even had a chance to get started.

More than 6.5 million faults were recorded in UK driving tests between 2020 and 2025.

Observation at junctions emerges as the most frequent error, according to analysis of DVLA data by driving education platform EzLicence.

The most common mistakes remain stable over the years, as does a pass rate below 50%.

Take the next right turn

According to the analysis of the latest DVSA data, which covers tests conducted across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, “observation at junctions” accounted for 768,881 faults, making up 11.81% of all errors.

This single fault type outstripped every other category, suggesting that situational awareness at intersections remains a persistent weakness for new drivers.

Looking at road crash statistics, it also remains the top cause of concern there too.

Following closely were failures to use mirrors when changing direction, with 598,417 recorded faults (9.19%).

Other leading fault types included moving off safely (328,483), turning right at junctions (320,417), and lack of steering control (313,967), each representing around 5% of the total faults logged.

“These numbers underline the areas where learners consistently struggle,” said Joe Parry of EzLicence. “Observation and awareness – whether it’s checking your mirrors or looking before entering a junction – are not just test points, they’re vital for road safety.”



Top 10 most common test faults:

Observation at Junctions – 768,881 (11.81%)

Using Mirrors to Change Direction – 598,417 (9.19%)

Moving Off Safely – 328,483 (5.05%)

Just a point for those of you learning to drive - a test fail (I had one this week) still means possibly waiting until October for a re-test so beware of doing a test if you are not completely ready, and even those who are (my pupil definitely was) can still come unstuck
