Huge Congratulations to Jo from Nettlesworth, County Durham! 🥳
She passed her automatic driving test today with only TWO driving faults! What an incredible achievement!
We're absolutely overjoyed for Jo, especially after she had a miserable experience with another driving school. It's proof that hard work pays off and that the right instructor makes all the difference! Jo worked so hard and we're so glad she ended up enjoying the experience with her ace instructor, Andy, from Only Automatic Driving School!

Celebrating Chris’s Driving Test Success and Bright Future Ahead!
We’re thrilled to share the inspiring story of Chris, an avid Sunderland AFC supporter and all-round good guy, who recently achieved a major milestone — passing his driving test in Sunderland!
Chris’s journey to driving independence has been a combination of determination, dedication, and a positive attitude. With the support of our friendly instructor Peter, Chris enjoyed every lesson and made steady progress towards his goal. Peter often mentioned how much he enjoyed working with Chris, who demonstrated great enthusiasm and commitment throughout his lessons.
Now, with his driving test behind him, Chris is planning to get a car — a big step towards more freedom and flexibility as he prepares to start an exciting new apprenticeship. His bright future is just beginning, and we’re proud to have been part of his journey.

One ‘Elle’ of a Day for Elle
Instructor Mandy is very proud of Elle’s progress. Elle can’t wait to be able to drive herself to work and fully enjoy the independence that comes with having her very own set of wheels. Having more freedom means she can easily meet up with friends and manage her schedule without needing to rely on others for rides.
Now, as the designated driver for her friends and family, Elle happily pays back all the times she’s been the passenger princess. Learning to drive has opened up exciting new opportunities for her, along with a strong sense of responsibility that she embraces wholeheartedly. Well done! A great Result!
It's a Holly Jollyday for Mandy!
Holly lives at the top of a farm, which means she has to walk a mile up to her house every day and then another mile to school. Her daughter is over the moon now that Holly has a car. This will make trips to school, school holidays, and shopping much easier for her.Instructor Mandy is also over the moon, having achieved a single fault pass at the Gosforth Driving Test Centre. This success is a testament to both Holly's dedication and Mandy's expert instruction.
