Another day, another incredible result! This afternoon, we’re celebrating Bailey, who absolutely smashed his driving test with instructor Peter. 🚗💨
Bailey famously tells everyone he "never passes anything first time," but today he proved himself wrong in the best way possible! Not only did he pass on his first attempt, but he did it with a near-perfect drive—just 2 minor faults.
It’s been a massive month for Bailey; on top of getting his licence, he’s recently been promoted in his role within the automotive industry. Now that he’s officially a driver, he’s already eyeing up a few cars to buy and get himself on the road for real. 🛠️✨
As a die-hard Sunderland supporter, we’re sure he’ll be using his new freedom to follow the Black Cats everywhere they go. Ha'way the lads! 🔴⚪

Automatic Success for Sarah with ADI Vici in Durham! ⚽🚗

Stacey from Tow Law: First-Time Success and New Beginnings
Stacey from Tow Law: First-Time Success and New Beginnings
Big congratulations to Stacey from Tow Law — she passed her driving test in Durham on her very first attempt! Calm, confident and focused, Stacey’s achievement opens up new independence and easier travel across the North East.
A recent arrival from Leicester, Stacey has already made her mark locally as a dedicated volunteer at a charity shop. Juggling community work and settling into a new area, she embraced lessons with determination — and it paid off first time.
Instructor Vici couldn’t be more impressed. From patient coaching to that moment of triumph, Stacey showed the poise and commitment that make a safe, happy driver.
Everyone at Only Automatic Driving School wishes Stacey many safe miles and lots of local adventures. Well done!

A Lovely review from Neil following a refresher course!
I needed a refresher lesson as I haven’t been able to do much driving since I passed my test. Whatever your experience, whether you’re a new driver, learner or just need a refresher, you will find Peter to be friendly and extremely helpful, patient and very clear with his advice and insights. I can’t recommend enough!
Sunny Do Son passes with 2 faults today! Well Done!
