Brilliant drive on the day and just the one we daft fault.. Fantastic feedback from the examiner aswell but we will keep the post test Provisional joke between us 😂..

Great one for me as Scott and I are old school buddies who had a great laugh during lessons.

♥️ this.

I've had 2 phone calls this morning asking if I can take people to their driving test this week.

I'll give you a slight idea on why I'd never ever do this at such short notice...

It took me from start to qualifying 18 months to become a qualified driving instructor. ££££s spent training, paying for qualifying tests etc.

Often doing 50 hours a week as a HGV driver then afterwards doing a few hours of training. Then I quit a stable well paid job to become a self-employed driving instructor.

I've travelled the country doing courses spending £££s to make sure I'm the best I can be.

Every test my badge number gets noted, and the faults/pass or fail is then recorded against my number. If I take people I've not seen to test or hire my car out, this goes against me. Which can then lead onto me possibly losing my job.

So, if you are unprepared and are trying to find an instructor 2 days prior to your test - just ring Arnold Clarke and get yourself a hire car.

Also, if you crash my car on your test. I then lose the ability to work. So it isn't worth it.

So if you think instructors are unreasonable for saying they won't take you at short notice, or if they think you aren't ready - just read the above again is the why.

And that's a pass.!

Congratulations Oskar!

If ever there was a pupil who wanted to learn, this is the guy.

Asks questions, brings scenarios to lessons and wants to cover everything 10 times over till it's perfect.

Test day brought some test nerves but Osakr smashed it and got some great feedback from the examiner regardless of a few early nervy errors.

Good luck on the roads, drive safe and don't forget if you see me out and about to 🚗
