  1. Congratulations to Owen who, on possibly the hottest day of the year, kept his cool and passed his driving test at his first attempt at lunchtime today. Well done Owen, the heat is off now, as far as the test is concerned anyway.

  2. 🎉 HUGE congratulations to Jess, who passed her #DrivingTest on her very first attempt at the Northwich test centre! 🚗💨

    This was actually my first time taking a pupil to this specific centre, as most of my students test in #Warrington.

    Passing in an unfamiliar area just proves that success comes from a solid system of teaching, learning, and taking responsibility. Not memorising specific test routes! 🧠🛣️

    So proud of your hard work, Jess! Drive safely! 🗺️✨

  3. Congratulations to Alicia who passed her driving test today incurring just a solitary driving fault. Well done Al, fantastic effort and an excellent result. Hope you’re celebrating later 🎉

  4. Congratulations to Rosa who has passed her driving test on her first attempt with zero faults. Excellent result Rosa and some lovely comments from your examiner at the end. See you soon for those motorway sessions we discussed.

  5. Congratulations to Maia on her first time pass this lunchtime. Sounds as if she’s going to be the designated taxi driver in the coming days. Hope to see you on the road soon Maia, well done on getting your full licence

  6. #Driving #DrivingTest #Car #Student

    My driving instructor (way back in 1996…) asked every student the same question before he even started having practice driving lessons with that student, and the question was…
    "How do you enter a car?"

    I won't give away the correct answer (yet) but I'm interested in what you think it is.
    Let me know!

  7. Best practice examples from the emergency services!‼️ 🚑

    I really enjoy watching these kinds of emergency response videos, whether they’re from the fire brigade, an ambulance or the police, and I’m always delighted to see German motorists making proper way for emergency vehicles with their blue lights on by forming that emergency corridor. 🤩

    It’s good to know that forming an emergency corridor is an essential part of driving test training in Germany. 😃

  9. Congratulations to Darcie on passing her driving test today on her first attempt with ZERO faults. Well done Darcie, all the hard work and effort paid off with such an excellent result, and great comments from your examiner.

  10. Congratulations to Khrissie who gave herself a belated Christmas present in the form of passing her driving test this lunchtime.
    Well done Khrissie, now you can get yourself down to your allotment whenever you choose to.

  11. Wish I could console my ASD person. They’ve failed their driving test for the second time. They’re an able driver, since obtaining an automatic, but the stress of being tested by a stranger… 😱

    Apparently in the feedback the examiner said that generally they were a “good driver”. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    And then there’s the problem of obtaining another test. It’s looking like May unless someone cancels and they happen to check at the ‘right’ time. Then we’ll have the stressful build up all over again. #DrivingTest

  13. Took my 18 yr old granddaughter to her driving test in Carmarthen yesterday. While she was reversing into a parking bay clearly designated for test candidates, some old duffer come running up to tell us we couldn't park there because he had testee due back and she'd need to park there.

    I pointed out that these are test centre spaces and my GD was there for her test, but this guy insisted the space had to be kept for his testee...

  14. This isn't a proper comparison of NZ's #DrivingTest to other countries.

    In the Netherlands peeps must go through a process of X practical lessons from an qualified driving instructor; need to pass a theoretical and practical exam.

    And master these special manoeuvres:
    * Reversing in a straight line
    * Reversing in a bend
    * Parking in a square or diagonal space
    * Parking in a line of cars
    * Reversing by crossing over
    * Reversing by half a turn
    * Slope test

  15. Got another old #motoring book, a #drivers #education book published by the #Autocar magazine apparently from 1942, although it doesn't mention wartime conditions (other editions of this book do).

    There wasn't even a #DrivingTest - whilst this was introduced in 1935, it was suspended when war broke out in 1939 and not reintroduced until 1946! #Cars weren't as easy to drive, ignition timing and idle speed had to be adjusted at the steering wheel to avoid stalling or racing the engine in neutral

  18. I thought this comedy sketch had had its day, but since Cummings and the infamous eye-test are in the news again...

    Here's me - and me - imagining if things had gone a step further...

  20. Crazy.

    One more story that contributes to the feeling just now that everything is broken.

  21. 🚗 “Brokers are exploiting the frantic hunt for tests by using software applications known as bots to book available slots on the government website the moment they become available – which they then sell at a hefty profit.” 😶

    theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/s

    Been a while since taking my #DrivingTest but wasn't even aware they *could* be resold once paid for through a government #Service. 🤔

  22. Just went for a Driving License test at the Gurugram RTO. Haven't been more apprehensive of any test than I was this morning- including the exams I cleared for the three-letter engineering and management institutes. The test per-se was quite well designed - it did really test a persons driving skill and, I reckon, had a 40-50% pass rate. That's low but is indicative of our driving skills in general, IMO. More relieved than happy to have made it through.
