Susannah works for the energy provider EDF and is a proud mother of five children. Passing her test means she now has the freedom to explore more of the country and make day-to-day life easier for herself and her family.
Instructor Tony is ‘over the moon’ with Susannah’s success, praising her dedication and focus throughout the training process. Everyone at Only Automatic Driving School congratulates Susannah on this fantastic achievement and wishes her many safe journeys ahead.
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!
When life deals you lemons….
Nearly a year ago, Neil experienced a significant life event that temporarily affected his full driving licence. To regain his confidence and ensure his skills remained sharp, Neil took a few refresher lessons with Peter. Throughout these sessions, he worked incredibly hard and demonstrated the lifelong driving skills he has always maintained.
Neil’s dedication paid off with a successful assessment carried out by the wonderful team at North East Drive Mobility. Their professionalism and support were second to none – truly the best in the region.
Life dealt Neil lemons, but he learned to make lemonade.

Chika now has a Full Driving Licence!
Chika, originally from Nigeria, currently works at the University Hospital of North Durham. He successfully passed his driving test on his very first attempt, making only one minor fault throughout the entire exam, which is quite an impressive feat.

Now that Chika has successfully obtained his driving licence, his wife has been inspired and decided to start her own driving lessons in the near future.
Ganiyat passed 1st attempt, Zero Faults!
When Peter collected Ganiyat from her home that morning, she had unfortunately forgotten to bring her driving licence, which caused a minor but unavoidable delay. Despite this initial setback, the pre-test lesson was understandably marked by nerves and a few small mistakes, as can be expected in such a high-pressure and important situation.
However, Ganiyat quickly regained her composure and demonstrated remarkable resilience and unwavering focus throughout the day of her Automatic Driving Test.
She ultimately passed on her very first attempt with zero faults – an impressive and highly commendable achievement, especially considering that, in the UK, only around 2.3% of candidates manage to pass their driving test the first time without committing any faults at all. Peter is extremely proud of this exceptional result, which clearly highlights Ganiyat’s dedication, determination, and skill when behind the wheel.
One ‘Elle’ of a Day for Elle
Instructor Mandy is very proud of Elle’s progress. Elle can’t wait to be able to drive herself to work and fully enjoy the independence that comes with having her very own set of wheels. Having more freedom means she can easily meet up with friends and manage her schedule without needing to rely on others for rides.
Now, as the designated driver for her friends and family, Elle happily pays back all the times she’s been the passenger princess. Learning to drive has opened up exciting new opportunities for her, along with a strong sense of responsibility that she embraces wholeheartedly. Well done! A great Result!
It's a Holly Jollyday for Mandy!
Holly lives at the top of a farm, which means she has to walk a mile up to her house every day and then another mile to school. Her daughter is over the moon now that Holly has a car.
