Another Zero faults pass!
a shy Lee sailed through his Automatic Practical test with Zero Faults with instructor Tony. ‘The Shek’ said the Examiner complimented Nguyen on a lovely perfect drive. A Brilliant Result!
Kyra makes her own bit of history
Kyra passed today with a single fault after falling out with manual driving a couple of years ago. Kyra recently became a Mum, a full time History teacher so the need for a Driving License became the next priority - and now we have it! Her instructor Tony is so so proud of her achievement
Driving lessons are an essential rite of passage for many individuals eager to hit the open road. These lessons offer a comprehensive introduction to the rules of the road, as well as the necessary skills and confidence to navigate through bustling traffic and unpredictable situations. The patient guidance of a qualified instructor helps new drivers learn the intricacies of vehicle control, observation techniques, and defensive driving. With each lesson, learners gradually build their expertise, progressing from basic manoeuvres to more complex scenarios. Through a combination of theory and practical exercises, driving lessons empower individuals to become responsible, competent drivers, equipped with the knowledge and abilities to ensure their own safety and the safety of others on the road.
First time pass today - No1
Ruby passed her test at the first attempt in Sunderland today with a couple of faults but a huge relief. The usual pre test nerves had troubled Ruby for weeks but just staying calm resulted in success. Ruby's a Business Studies Teacher and this result will definitely changed her life! Her Instructor Peter is so very proud of the result - hopefully Ruby will take up the offer of a PassPlus course in the 6 weeks holidays!
Birthday Driving Test Pass with Zero Faults!
Zak had his birthday yesterday and today I said that a pass would be the perfect gift.
Passed with Zero faults!
I demanded a victorious pose!
Well done, can't do better than perfect!
First Time Pass for the Doctor!
Doctor Sara passed her test with a single fault today.
Now Sara is a special person. One of the NHS super professionals (she said she was a Radiologist - but I could see right through that - Boom boom!) and through our lessons I found she is a really caring, intelligent person, a delight to meet. I mentioned that we were doing Multilingual Tutorials to help students learning in the Sunderland area whose first language isn't English and Sara thought it was a brilliant idea too and offered to help out with the selection of videos that we are currently producing. Not only did she translate all of the scripts that I gave her into a better format but took my recording unit and is the voice of the Arabic module that I'm currently working on. I'm speechless - thankfully Sara isn't!
An absolute star - a wonderful person - and now a Full Licence Holder 😁
The Shek joins the team!

What a year for Charlotte
Charlotte is having a really good year. 'A' levels complete - off to University in the Autumn - had a significant Birthday - Got her own car - SMASHED HER AUTOMATIC DRIVING TEST!!
What a year!
Daniel is another successful Automatic student!
Today it's Daniel's turn to pass his Driving Test at the first attempt. On the way back from the test he told me of all the excuses he was going to give for failing his test 🤣
Didn't need them! A lot of hard effort put in to pass this (and on his wife's birthday too!)
Well done. Safe driving and I look forward to getting some free music soon 🎼🎶
Yet another 1st time automatic pass!
Karlie didn't know why she never did her driving lessons when she was 17. Signed on with me last year but never really had a lesson till February and then all of a sudden wanted to do it. Really wanted to learn to drive. Practiced in her Grandparents Range Rover together with lessons with me and despite the really really really annoying saluting of the single Magpies, passed today quite easily at the first attempt - Not a single Magpie was saluted in the process. I'm really proud of your result and the major effort you put in to achieve this. Well done!
Scarlett passed her test for her doggie, Roman
The correct attitude to wanting to pass is all that it took Scarlett. A great result with only a couple of faults and now she has her Automatic Driving License. Already searching for a car to carry Roman in then the sky is the limit. Well Done!
A lovely day to pass your Automatic Driving Test
Kyle did great in his exams and now he's done great in his Automatic Driving Test. The examiner said his drive was very good. Thanks also go to Kyle's Grandad who help and supported him along the way.
Becky's Life just got better
A New house, a New Automatic Driving Licence and now a brand new car. Happy days for Becky who got lost on her Driving Test, did the wrong reversing exercise and still passed brilliantly with 2 faults! Way to go!
A Second 1st Time Pass in 2 Days!!
Nicola passed her test at the very 1st attempt at the Sunderland Driving test centre with ease. So many future plans of what do do and where to go now, I do believe that Nicola is going to have many adventures soon, once she has bought a car!
Another First Time Pass!
Daniel passed his test at the first attempt today in cold, wintry conditions at the Sunderland Driving Test Centre despite many tests today being cancelled due to strike action. A great result with only a couple of mistakes and a beamimg smile for a new Full Driving Licence Holder. Well Done!
Nancy passed her test
Nancy put off and put off and put off taking her Automatic Practical Test. Once she decided to do it she passed first time! A lovely Range Rover is waiting for her to drive now! A great result. Well done!

A Rainy Day for Wayne - But a Perfect Pass!
Zero faults on a driving test is quite a rare thing to see but Wayne did it on his test today - A first Time Pass with ZERO errors. The examiners couldn’t fault it. Such a special pass as Wayne is just about to become a father and was really hoping to able to drive Mother and Baby home from the hospital after the happy event! What an end to the year! Well done!!
Olivia passes on a Saturday.
Olivia passed her test this morning, 'an impressive drive' said the examiner despite the aggressive behaviour of another motorist (drivers initials were BMW)
Olivia has started her apprentice with a major building firm and her license will make getting there so much easier. A joy to teach. Well done!
Ben achieves his target! Perfect timing for the start of his career..
We set a time for Ben to pass his Automatic Driving Test and that was so that he could start his apprenticeship and be able to drive there on his own instead of having to catch a dozen buses or rely on family to get him there and that is what he achieved today. A great result, a couple of faults but job done. Well Done!
