Zehra from Coleford passed her driving test on the first attempt with just two driving faults! She needed 75 hours of lessons and almost 9 months from scratch to drive properly and pass her test. On average, people are ready to drive independently as beginners after 50-70 hours on an automatic car with me (instructor Tykmek). Initially, we struggled to communicate since Zehra spoke very limited English. Thanks to modern technology, we could get by using the AI translator. After some time, her English improved massively, thanks to community English classes. I would like to think modestly I contributed to her English as well! From the very beginning, it was apparent Zehra had a knack for driving. In the end, just before her test, we went to Bristol to see if she was fully independent as a driver so she could take her family to Ikea for Swedish meatballs😊. Going to the Magic Roundabout in Swindon and Bristol city centre became a routine for me. My students greatly appreciate that, but when I mention that we will go to Bristol just before their test, they look at me with disbelief. Well done Zehra and I wish you safe driving for life!
Isabelle from May Hill passed her driving test on the first attempt. She needed 81 hours to overcome her nerves and pass with just a few driving faults. For the last 20 hours or so, instructor Tymek mainly trained on the manoeuvres. Isabelle is a natural-born driver and did many things instinctively very well, but passing the test requires additional skills that were initially difficult for her to grasp. Well done, Iza, and safe driving for life from everyone at KISS Driving School .
