Pass Times: Driving Tuition with Jim

What can I say?!? What an awesome start to the day!!! After starting to learn to drive and then losing her confidence (long before she started with me), Izzie took the brave decision after a few years to try again and this morning, after hours and hours of hard work, she got her just reward and passed her test first time around! There’s been self-doubt, laughter, tears, laughter, random monologues, much talk of archaeology and more laughter along the way and I couldn’t be happier for her!! Well done Izzie, you smashed it! 😊👏👏👏🥳👍🏻

🚨🚨AWESOME PASS ALERT!! 🚨🚨
The HUGEST of C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S ! ! ! to Hannah who smashed her test this morning with just 2 minor faults!!!! It’s been an amazing journey getting you to this well-deserved pass, Hannah!! Wishing you a lifetime of happy and safe driving!

As a driving instructor, the worst bit about test day is sitting in the test centre, watching the clock knowing it’s all out of your hands and waiting for your student to return, hoping, hoping, hoping they’ve passed.

Well, today was even more anxiety inducing because the student on their test also happened to be my step-daughter!! 😬🫣🫣

Thankfully, after a nauseating 42minutw wait (bloody Leicester traffic!), Liv returned with a resounding pass, receiving only 3 minor faults along the way!! 🎉🎉🥳🥰

So proud of you Liv, and really pleased you’ve got the result you deserved and can now make the most of Clive the Corsa!

Wishing you a lifetime of SAFE and happy driving!

🚨🚨Early-bird 1st Time Pass Alert!!🚨🚨

It’s the 1st day that DVSA has introduced 7:40 am driving tests to try to beat the backlog!

Step forward Luke, who not only embraced his 7:40am test but went and smashed it with just 1 minor fault! 😱👏👏👏👏🥳🥳

Well done Luke, a thoroughly deserved pass, which will hopefully mean an end to those 90min bus journeys to and from college! 😃😉👍🏻

Wishing you a lifetime of happy and safe driving!

🚨🚨Perseverance Pass Alert!🚨🚨

Not everybody passes their test first time (statistically, only 3 in every 10 students do!) and it can be really hard to pick yourself up again after these setbacks.

So I was hugely proud and pleased today when Andy dug deep and pulled-out the drive of his life to get the pass he’s been working so hard for!

Well done Andy, May you have a lifetime of happy and safe driving - you’ve earned it!
