Ganiyat passed 1st attempt, Zero Faults!

Ganiyat passed 1st attempt, Zero Faults!

When Peter collected Ganiyat from her home that morning, she had unfortunately forgotten to bring her driving licence, which caused a minor but unavoidable delay. Despite this initial setback, the pre-test lesson was understandably marked by nerves and a few small mistakes, as can be expected in such a high-pressure and important situation.

However, Ganiyat quickly regained her composure and demonstrated remarkable resilience and unwavering focus throughout the day of her Automatic Driving Test.

She ultimately passed on her very first attempt with zero faults – an impressive and highly commendable achievement, especially considering that, in the UK, only around 2.3% of candidates manage to pass their driving test the first time without committing any faults at all. Peter is extremely proud of this exceptional result, which clearly highlights Ganiyat’s dedication, determination, and skill when behind the wheel.

A Lovely review for Rubel

Passing my driving test was a huge milestone, and I couldn't have done it without Mr. Rubel. From day one, he made sure I felt comfortable behind the wheel, explaining things clearly and patiently. His encouragement helped me stay calm, even when I struggled with parallel parking,roundabouts etc. Thanks to their guidance, I not only passed my test but also feel confident driving on my own. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, supportive instructor who genuinely cares about your success, I highly recommend him.
