Betty’s Big Win: A New Licence, A New Car, A New Adventure! 🚗🌟
Today we’re celebrating the lovely Betty, who has just passed her driving test! Originally from Poland, Betty has worked so hard for this moment – and now she’s absolutely buzzing for all the adventures ahead.
One of the things she’s most excited about? Being able to take her son and her mum to the beach when they’re over from Poland. No more relying on lifts or public transport – just freedom, independence, and those special family memories by the sea. 🏖️
As if passing her test wasn’t amazing enough, her husband surprised her with a beautiful new car! Once the insurance is sorted, she’s officially good to go – school runs, seaside trips, weekend drives, and everything in between.
Huge congratulations as well to Instructor Mandy for another fantastic pass. Mandy covers the North Tyneside area and is known for her calm, supportive teaching style that helps learners grow in confidence lesson by lesson.
Athletic Esther wins Gold Medal for driving🏅
Huge congratulations to the lovely Esther, who smashed her driving test FIRST TIME today at Blyth Driving Test Centre! A true team win: Instructor Tony got her started, then Instructor Mandy carried her over the finish line after Esther’s move from Sunderland to North Tyneside. To top it all off, her hubby surprised her with a beautiful new car on Tuesday—she’s absolutely buzzing to hit the road!
As a self‑employed athletics pro and proud mum to a little boy, getting that licence means more freedom, flexibility, and precious time back. We’re so proud of you, Esther—enjoy every mile!

Meet Millie: From Nearly Giving Up to Driving Star
They say persistence pays off — and Millie proves it. Six months ago she’d struggled with the theory test, taking 13 attempts and nearly walking away. But she didn’t. She kept going, kept learning, and kept her goal in sight. Today, with Instructor Mandy cheering her on, Millie passed her practical driving test at Gosforth Driving Test Centre on her very first attempt — with only three driver faults.
What made it extra special was her calm under pressure. The examiner complimented her fantastic drive and professional attitude. Instructor Mandy couldn’t be prouder of her little entrepreneur — the determination, grit, and focus Millie showed transformed near-defeat into triumph.

A Perfect Pass! Huge Congrats to Tran Phan Bui Nguyen
The examiner was genuinely impressed and had high praise for Tran's exceptional driving skills, which is the highest compliment you can get. This perfect result is a massive payoff for all the hard work and dedication Tran put in, especially considering how nervous he was feeling.
Tran, who is originally from Vietnam, is a little on the shy side and politely declined a pass photo (we respect that 100%!). But trust us, his smile was as bright as his driving performance today!
Camera shy Nabiha passes her test!
Congrats to Nabiha on passing her Practical Automatic Driving Test in Sunderland with instructor Tony! Though she's camera shy, her achievement shines bright—she's on her way to new adventures, including her upcoming wedding next year. Her dedication and success are truly inspiring, marking another exciting milestone in her wonderful journey!
Another Pass for Mandy. This Time at Blyth Driving Test Centre!
Richard has successfully passed his driving test on his third attempt, much to the great delight and relief of his partner. With his brand-new licence now safely in hand, he can confidently take full charge of all the driving duties to and from work, as well as on weekends when they go out for walks with their dogs. This significant achievement marks yet another proud success for Instructor Mandy at the Blyth Driving Test Centre, highlighting her continued dedication and commitment to helping learners become safe, skilled, and confident drivers.
Camera Shy Sadie passes at Gosforth
Sadie passed her driving test on her second attempt, and as a dedicated nurse working irregular shifts, she is absolutely over the moon to finally be able to use her car for both commuting to work and socialising with friends and family. Instructor Mandy is extremely proud of Sadie’s achievement and her success at the Gosforth Driving Test Centre.

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.
Nicest Man in the World!
World’s Nicest Man Passes Driving Test. “Nithin passed his driving test today at the first time of asking, despite telling me that he thought he’d failed. Humble, polite and extremely diligent, Nithin was an easy student to teach. Congratulations on your well-earned success. Stay safe and I’ll see you on the road.”
Jordan passed his Part 3 Instructor Test today!
Well done, Jordan, on successfully passing your part 3 examination today at the Gosforth test centre. You are now officially a fully qualified Approved Driving Instructor (ADI). A special thanks goes out to Stu for the invaluable assistance provided along the way; however, it is important to note that the majority of your training was expertly conducted by Mandy Dunn.
This significant achievement truly reflects a great team effort and dedication.
A new and exciting career begins for you now, filled with opportunities to make a positive impact on learners.
Congratulations on this remarkable milestone!
