DRIVING TEST ENQUIRIES

I'm receiving many requests for
'learning test routes' with 'borrowing your car for the test'.

Or not had lessons for months and just wanted a couple of lessons and test!!

Unfortunately, it doesn't work!

This is likely what you will hear from the examiner.........

"unfortunately, I'm sorry to say you've not been successful on this occasion, speak with your instructor and they'll make a plan going forward with you."

The question is, did you make a plan?

🤔

Just 1 tiny driver's fault for
Oliver Bond from Stanton this afternoon, with a compliment from the examiner for handling the Rural roads well and good timing of gear changes prior to the sharp bends!!

It's been a pleasure coaching you Oliver over the last 6 months and appreciate your parents'support, with bits of homework to practice outside of your lessons.

You've been a committed, consistent student and applied everything I've taught you really well. You truly deserve the result this afternoon @1.25pm

CONGRATULATIONS 👏🎉

Absolutely proud of Izzy for her achievement early this morning!

Just 3 dfs, 33 hours of tuition, a handful of times driving Dad's car and passed today in Dad's VW Passat ( with a tow bar ) making the car even longer than it already is!) no problem for Izzy


Isabelle conducted a Forward Bay manoeuvre in Thorpe Acre, a Controlled 🛑 stop, a few country roads out towards Cotes village and a big smile at me out the window on her return 😁
She seemed extremely calm when I got to her house in Stanton at 7.15am and very calm/composed all the way there/start of her test.


Thank you for the business Izzy and choosing Smiles Driving School Loughborough/NW Leicester


Happy/safe Driving 🚗

Great news for Ethan Hurst for his lovely achievement of passing his at 11.01am today 👏


The moment he got in the car today he said "it's the most nervous I've been for anything in my life".

We had to slow things down a bit on the way to the test centre, as the nerves were getting the better of him, but once focussed and in the zone he managed to pass his test. Now able to celebrate over the next few weeks, on his holidays 🌴 🌞 ⛱️

Ethan delivered a route out towards Birstall, negotiating a few Dual Carriageways, conducting a Parallel Park manoeuvre (no problem for Ethan) and back via the Red Hill Island.
32 hours of tuition, on Saturdays over the last 6 months , no practice outside lessons, so altogether a great result!
Well done Ethan 👏 👏
