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.

Charlie's Big Win: From Arguments to Automatics!
Well, folks, gather 'round! We've got a tale today that's as big as the heart of Durham and twice as amusing. Our very own Charlie, infamous for his love of a good debate, has passed his driving test this morning with flying colours (and perhaps a few colourful words, too!) thanks to the fantastic folks at Only Automatic Driving School.
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.
The Prognosis Is Good
Congratulations to Uwadia — he passed his driving test today with zero faults! The examiner even called it “a lovely, lovely drive.” What a fantastic achievement.
Uwadia, a dedicated doctor based in Sunderland, has shown incredible commitment and focus throughout his training. His hard work, calm attitude and attention to detail paid off beautifully. Beyond being a diligent learner, he’s also a well-travelled, thoroughly interesting chap whose stories and good humour made every lesson enjoyable.
Wishing you safe and confident miles ahead, Uwadia. It’s been a pleasure to teach you — see you out on the roads!
