🚗 ANOTHER FIRST-TIME PASS FOR TEAM ONLY AUTOMATIC! 🚗

ADI Rubel does it again! 👏

Age is just a number! 💯 As long as your mindset is right, anything is possible. You need to be hungry, determined and willing to put in the work - and that's exactly what Sayed did!

Massive congratulations to Sayed Ahmed who SMASHED his driving test this week with only 4 driving faults - FIRST TIME! 🎉🏁

What a drive! Sayed showed great control, observation and awareness throughout. He stayed calm under pressure, made excellent decisions and showed real confidence behind the wheel. 💪

The hard work, dedication and positive mindset have all paid off! 🙌 You believed in yourself, stayed focused and got the job done when it mattered most.

Enjoy the freedom, Sayed - you've absolutely earned it! 🚗💨🥳

Another first-time pass and another very proud instructor! Well done Rubel! 💯👏

🚗 PASSED YOUR TEST?

THIS IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS THE TEST ITSELF

One of my former students was involved in a minor prang last week - just a small scrape. No one hurt thankfully, but they were flustered and didn't get the details right at the scene.

Now the other driver is claiming for repairs for everything including the kitchen sink. A little scrape has turned into a massive headache and an insurance nightmare.

It happens to new drivers. You pass, you're nervous, and the last thing you expect is a bump in the first few months. But PLEASE know what to do:

If it's a minor RTA, stay calm and do this:

1. Stop & Stay Safe
Turn off engine, hazards on. Check if anyone is hurt. If it’s minor and safe, move to the side.

2. Exchange Details - It's The Law
You MUST give and get:
Full name & address
Phone number
Vehicle reg
Insurance details
Name of the owner if it's not you

3. TAKE LOADS OF PHOTOS
This is the one new drivers miss! Before you move anything:
Both cars from all angles
Close-ups of the damage
Number plates
The road, road markings, junctions
Weather & lighting
More photos than you think you need. It’s your proof.

4. DO NOT ADMIT BLAME
I know you want to be polite and say "sorry, it was my fault" - DON'T.
You can be kind and check if everyone is OK, but don't admit liability. It is NOT always you at fault, even if you think it is. Let the insurers decide.

5. Write it down & Tell your insurer
As soon as you get home, write down what happened while it's fresh. Time, place, what you saw. Then call your insurer - even for a tiny bump.

Save this post. Share it with your son, daughter, or anyone who has just passed.

The test is just the start - staying safe and protected is what matters.

Know the rules and above all, take care out there.

🎉 **PASS ALERT - It's HELENA!!!** 🎉

Massive congratulations to Helena who PASSED her test this morning in Sunderland with just a couple of faults - a few of the usual brainfarts but a fantastic drive!

I am so proud of you Helena.

It doesn't feel that long ago that you started and didn't feel very confident, but you have progressed so quickly. So quick that you even managed to get married in the middle of your lessons!

We all know you found your nemesis - that ONE roundabout that you have vowed NEVER to visit again... even though you nailed it perfectly on your test today! 😂

Now all that's left is the next battle - wrestling the keys off hubby so you can take your lovely girl and boy on lots of driving adventures!

So well deserved. Enjoy every minute of your new freedom!

Well done Helena! 🚗💨
