Good Things Come to Those Who Wait — Congrats, Uchenna! 🎉🚗
Patience truly pays off, and today Uchenna proved just that! After waiting a while for the perfect moment to show off his driving skills, he did it in spectacular style — with just three minor faults. And when the examiner finally told him he’d passed, the screech of delight Uchenna let out was so loud, I’m pretty sure I needed ear defenders! But honestly, that joyful outburst showed just how much this achievement meant to him.
Uchenna lives in Sunderland but works in Durham, which means that in the new year, he’ll have much more time for himself and his family — no more long commutes of three to four hours each day! And with his wedding next year, there’s even more reason to celebrate.
Instructor Ian summed it up perfectly when he said, "Well done, Uchenna — you were easy to teach and an absolute gentleman." We’re so proud of him and can’t wait to see him on the roads, confidently driving into this exciting new chapter of his life.

Ralph’s Road to Freedom: From Perfectionist to Pass with Pride
Big congratulations to Ralph from Washington — he passed his driving test at Sunderland with just two minors, and what a moment to celebrate!
