🚦 OUR ROAD SAFETY POSTS ARE BACK! 🚦💙

With the darker evenings creeping in, here’s a little reminder…

💡 Can you see — and be seen?

✅ Check your lights before setting off! We see so many vehicles with bulbs out. Check headlights, rear lights, brake lights and indicators — and replace any failed bulbs promptly.

✅ Keep your windscreen clean inside and out to help reduce glare.

✅ Fully demist your windows before moving off.

✅ Leave extra space in the wet — stopping distances are at least DOUBLE those on dry roads.

💡 Did you know many cars have a headlight levelling dial? It adjusts the beam angle to suit passengers and luggage, helping prevent dazzling others. Check your handbook for the correct setting — some cars adjust automatically!

What’s your biggest frustration with driving in the dark? 👇

And just like that… an era ends 💙

After 11 years instructing , tomorrow Dave swaps the learner car for a brand-new adventure with the council.

Over 400 pupils passed their driving tests with him over the years, which is something to be bloody proud of. 🥹👏

There have been thousands of lessons, countless miles, plenty of laughs, probably even more swear words 😂 and a hell of a lot of people who are safer drivers because of him.

Today he finished exactly how he should — with one final first-attempt pass. 🥹

Whatever comes next, nobody can take away what you achieved over those 11 years.

End of an era. 💙

Good luck tomorrow, Dave. Go smash it.
And obviously… TAKE THE LEAP! 💙

What a brilliant result — all that hard work has paid off and you can officially ditch those L plates! 🙌 Enjoy the freedom, Tia, and stay safe out there! 💙

And this one is a little extra special for us too… 🥹

Today was Dave’s final driving test with Optimus Drive before starting his brand-new job with the council tomorrow — and what better way to finish than with a first-attempt pass! 💙

Well done, Tia — and what a way for Dave to bow out! 🥹💙🚗

1 test. 1 first-attempt pass.
No pressure for the next one, Courtney 😂👏
