What a day for Driving Instructor Andy and Only Automatic Driving School – and an even bigger day for Lauren! 🎉

Lauren, originally from the USA and now calling the North East home, has smashed her driving test in Durham today with an incredible result: a FIRST-TIME PASS with just 2 minor faults.

Balancing work in sport and the community with learning to drive is no small feat, and Lauren has done it all with determination, positivity and focus. Her passion for travel has been a big part of her motivation too – and now she’s officially road-ready just in time for her next adventure to the Scottish Highlands in the very near future. Imagine those stunning views, scenic drives and total freedom … all now possible thanks to her full UK licence!

This pass is extra special for Andy as well – Lauren’s success means he now holds a 100% pass rate for 2025 so far! A huge achievement and a testament to the calm, structured and supportive lessons Andy provides at Only Automatic Driving School.
