Thomson from Stroud passed with just 4 driver's faults. It took us a lot of time to make him a very good driver from scratch but we did it! To give an example of how I teach, this is Thomson's story.
I helped him to buy a car a few days after his test as he didn't have anybody with experience not to be coned with the purchase. One of my good friends is a car dealer, so I knew he would treat Thomson fairly. The trouble is he is based in Weston-Super-Mare… Anyway, we went there together, Thomson bought a car and drove on his own from Weston to Stroud. 50 miles following the sat-nav on the motorway, country lanes, bendy roads, you name it.
I keep telling my students that I don't teach to just pass the test. I teach to drive safely and confidently so when you pass your driving test with me you will be able to go anywhere you want straight after your test, as Thomson did.
Well done Thomson and safe driving for life!
