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.
Another Pass! This time it’s James
James passed his Automatic Driving Test today with 2 minors (could have easily been zero) in glorious weather out on the streets of Durham today. A wonderful drive from a great bloke. An eternal overthinker but he did it! Well done!
Finding difficulty with steering when you start your driving lessons?
Struggling with Steering when you first begin to learn to drive on your lessons?
You’re not alone - learning new methods of coordination and concentration often means that your brain and your hands are sometimes at loggerheads with each other. You can feel frustrated, you cross your hands and go to wide, you grip too tight and drift out of the correct driving position! Driving Instructors deal with these scenarios on a regular basis.
Brandon smashes his Driving Test!
A bit of hard work and a lot of commitment and you too could do like Brandon did today and pass your driving test. Automatic is the way forward.
Driving in Fog
Remember that Driving in Fog or Mist presents different hazards depending on how thick it is, how fast you are driving, whether it’s day or night time. If visibility is reduced, slow down - turn your lights on - if visibility is reduced to less that 100m, turn on your fog lights remembering to turn them off again when visibility is increased to more than 100m as the bright fog lights may dazzle your fellow drivers. Remember, reduce your speed, be seen - Don’t become a statistic!
