Lucy’s “Full of the Knowledge”
Lucy, a student who works part time at a major electrical retailer, has successfully passed her Automatic Driving test today with an outstanding performance, marked by just a single minor fault. She faced very challenging driving conditions but managed to maintain her calm and composure throughout. Notably, she corrected an error on a roundabout with ease, where many in her position might have panicked. Her brilliant result is a testament to her hard work and dedication.
Celebrating this significant achievement, Tony, her instructor, kept his promise by treating Lucy to a meal at McDonald's, making the occasion even more special. The entire team at Only Automatic Driving School takes immense pride in her accomplishment.
With the driving test behind her, Lucy’s next step is to find the right car to start her journey as an independent driver. We wish her all the best for the road ahead.

Two Wheels Become Four
This dedicated biker passed his driving test on Thursday at the first attempt, with the examiner describing it as ‘A lovely drive’ and noting only two minor faults. An excellent driver from the outset, his extensive knowledge of the road gained from riding a motorbike clearly contributed to his success.
Now looking forward to swapping two wheels for four in the near future, he is well-prepared for the next stage of his driving journey. Congratulations on your achievement – it was a pleasure teaching you. Stay safe on the roads.
Instructor Ian and the team are very proud of your success.
Great job, Fazle!
You’re officially a fully licensed pharmacist and driver now! With only five minor faults recorded—that’s truly impressive and speaks volumes about your careful attention and skill. Another successful pass added to the excellent track record of our highly skilled driving instructor, Rubel.
The entire team here at Only Automatic Driving School is incredibly proud of this outstanding achievement.
Onwards and upwards to even greater successes in the future. We look forward to seeing you confidently out on the road, enjoying your new driving privileges.
Ian’s perfect pass for his young son
Ian has achieved a perfect zero faults pass, an impressive accomplishment given the typical UK first-time zero fault pass rate of just 1-3%.
This pass was particularly significant as it allows him to reliably transport his little boy and commute safely to and from night shifts.
Congratulations to Ian, with thanks to Instructor Rubel for his guidance and support throughout the learning process.
Demi’s Dedication Does the Deed
Congratulations to Demi on passing her driving test at the first attempt in Durham today! Demi is a dedicated and hardworking mum who truly deserves this achievement. Her determination and effort paid off, and her vibrant personality brought plenty of laughter along the way. She even had a memorable moment where she asked for a test pass photo to be taken next to a gravestone of a man buried beside his ex-wife—something we happened to visit during a driving exercise. Wishing Demi all the best as she embarks on her new journey behind the wheel!
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.”
A Lovely review for Rubel
Passing my driving test was a huge milestone, and I couldn't have done it without Mr. Rubel. From day one, he made sure I felt comfortable behind the wheel, explaining things clearly and patiently. His encouragement helped me stay calm, even when I struggled with parallel parking,roundabouts etc. Thanks to their guidance, I not only passed my test but also feel confident driving on my own. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, supportive instructor who genuinely cares about your success, I highly recommend him.
Another nice review for Tony
Are you ready to begin your journey, learning to drive with Only Automatic Driving School?
Tom uses his noodle!
Tom, the owner of PHO 179 restaurant in Sunderland, is expanding his culinary footprint with a new location set to open in Newcastle. Managing multiple restaurant locations can be challenging, but with the convenience of driving, Tom finds it easier to navigate between both establishments. This streamlined travel allows him to oversee operations, ensure quality, and maintain the standards that have made PHO 179 a local favorite. As he embarks on this new venture, the ease of commuting will be instrumental in the success of his expanding business.
Malaika passed for Ian today 😁
“BINGO - You did it! Malaika started her driving experience doing laps of the bingo car park in Pallion, but she put in an assured performance this morning and passed at the first attempt with only a few driving faults. A friendly student with a positive attitude, Malaika has been a pleasure to teach. Stay safe and I’ll see you on the road.”
A brilliant result for Ian and Stu
It's great when your students pass their driving test but better when one of your team passes their Part 3 exam to become a fully qualified ADI.
Ian was our first PDI, qualifying in double quick time. Instructor trainer Stu has yet another pass to add to his record. This achievement highlights the effective training and dedicated support provided to our instructors. We are proud to see our trainees excel and look forward to more success stories in the future.
Jason passed his Automatic Driving test at the first attempt
A wonderful first time pass for Jason today and well done to Instructor Ian 😁
Teacher Hannah passes her Automatic Driving Test
Hannah passed her Automatic Driving Test today with her Instructor Peter after postponing lessons for several years. Her determination paid off, and she is now looking forward to purchasing a car after Christmas. She has set her sights on a Toyota Yaris, the same model in which she learned to drive. We are very proud of her achievement and excited to see her on the road.
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!
Kevin passed his MANUAL driving test this morning at the first attempt with just one minor fault
Kevin passed his manual driving test this morning with just one minor fault. As a young GB boxer with a promising career ahead, this achievement marks an important milestone for him. However, it's essential to acknowledge the support he received from his parents, who put in a significant amount of effort to prepare him for this test. Their dedication, combined with Kevin’s hard work, played a crucial role in his success today. We’re very proud of his achievement - he’s already got a lovely car and raring to go!
