Enjoy your summer of freedom and thanks for sharing your water with me 🥳🚗🏆

Well done to '?' for passing their test today in a very wet and foggy Folkestone. I hope today proves that you can achieve anything with a little bit of self belief. Enjoy your trips to the cow field and thanks for driving with me.

I wrote this a few years ago and it is still true today ❤️

The Truth
Have you ever noticed all those passes and happy faces on every driving instructors page - including mine!
While it is great to see those happy faces it is really important to be aware of the hard work, and sometimes tears, it takes to get that test pass. It's a moment worth celebrating, and that's just what we do. We celebrate!
But what about those who don't pass? The driving test is not an easy thing to do.
Each and every pupil who takes their driving test battles nerves, excitement, sometimes self doubt, and a hundred other emotions. And it can sometimes end in a failed test.
If it wasn't such an insensitive thing to do I would put their picture on my page too and celebrate their bravery for trying so hard to pass. Especially knowing they are planning to put themselves through it all over again.
Behind every pass is a pupil who didn't pass.
And what about the instructor?
What about me?
Truth be told, when I watch my brave pupil drive off with the examiner I wish for nothing other than a happy ending.
Seeing your efforts result in victory is incredibly special, the very best feeling. Sitting with a pupil who didn't pass is heartbreaking.
I don't have a 100% pass rate, no instructor does.
But what I do have is you at the centre of my driving world.
When you drive off to start your test I want to put your smiling face on my page, and if it's not today it will be next time.
Don't give up - you've come so far.
You will do this.

The silver lining around today's raincloud is Sammy passing her test with style. Well done Sammy - you've done it. Definitely listen to your granddaughter more!
Enjoy every mile in your car and thanks for driving with me 🥳🚗🏆

Sitting outside the test centre and a bird poos on the car. My nan always said that's a good luck charm and she was right. Dylan went on his test and came back with a well deserved pass!
I'm so proud of you Dylan. What you did today was just amazing. Enjoy the summer in your new car and thanks for driving with me. 🥳🚗🏆

Some of you may have seen a post from 𝙇𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝘿𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙎𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙡 involving some people skillfully using swords. That's not us, we are not that agile 😂
It seems someone has been a bit naughty and got into our page.
For your own online safety, please don't interact with our page at the moment.
We are working on resolving this issue and bringing back the car stuff. 😀🚗👍🏻

Jono does, that's who. And it's a celebration hat because he has just passed his part 2 test and is one step closer to a new career as a driving instructor!
Well done Jono, that wasn't easy and to get zero faults is incredible.
Now the real fun begins.... 🥳🚗🏆

A short while ago one pupil asked if I could record some of the routes around town so they could practice in their own car so I put one route on YouTube. 50,000 views later... I had no idea so many people would watch them. Thank you, I hope you find them useful 😊📹🙏🏻❤️
