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! Instructor Kevin couldn’t hide his pride: “It’s been a pleasure to teach him. He can be a bit of a perfectionist, but Ralphie’s 8/10 is as good as anybody else’s 10/10 on the day.”
This pass marks more than a test result — it’s a life event. No more waiting for buses or timetables; there’s a brand-new car waiting at home, ready for the first official drive. That first journey behind the wheel will be the start of fresh freedom, independence, and endless possibilities.
Ralph’s achievement shows what dedication and the right guidance can do. If you’re in North Tyneside and ready to take the same leap — whether you’re a perfectionist or a free spirit — our instructors are here to help you pass with confidence.

Holly has a Good Day!
Holly from Washington passed her driving test today on her very first attempt, achieving just one minor error. It has been a long and rewarding journey, but her dedicated effort has truly paid off in the end. She is now able to take her two children anywhere they wish to go, leaving behind the inconvenience and waiting associated with buses.
Holly has been an absolute pleasure to work with throughout this entire process, and we have enjoyed every moment of her training. We look forward to seeing her confidently out on the road. Another fine pass for our proud instructor Kevin!
Haway the lad! Kyle smashes his Automatic Driving Test!
Staunch Sunderland supporter Kyle made short work of his automatic driving test today passing it at the very first attempt. The team at only automatic driving school and especially your instructor Kevin, a very proud of this achievement!
A Saturday pass in Durham for Jamie
The roadworks near to the driving test centre in Durham meant uncertainty as to where the test route would be. as it turned out it was over Jamie’s favourite area and he did a splendid pass with just a couple of faults. A great bloke to teach. Well Done!
