🚗🎉 Another September pass!

I'm a wee bit behind with the pass photos, but better late than never! 😂

A massive congratulations to Blair, who passed his driving test back in September on the first attempt!

Really pleased for you! All that hard work paid off, and it was great to see you get the result you worked towards.

Wishing you many happy and safe miles ahead! 👏

Quick update, everyone!

I'm officially rebranding my page from Csaba Ortutay - ADI to CO Driver Training to better reflect my local driving school!

Just to clear things up for Meta's review team, I'm not going anywhere. It's still me, same instructor, teaching every lesson and helping you become a safe & confident driver across Lanarkshire and Greater Glasgow.

Thank you so much for your support through this journey. Drop me a message if you're ready to get behind the wheel!

Update: I was planning to change the page name, but now Meta's Ai chatbot changed it without any consent or question and now I have to wait 60 days before I can try again.

Are you still worried that Ai will replace human workforce? Don't be so sure.

A driving instructor never really stops being a student.

Usually I’m sitting in the passenger seat helping somebody develop their driving. On this occasion, the roles were a little different.

Spending a day on track was a good reminder that, however experienced you become, there is always something else to learn.

I was lucky enough to have a racing champion jump into the instructor’s seat for part of the day, which was a useful reminder of what it feels like to be the learner again — listening, processing information, trying something, getting feedback and putting it into practice.

Different environment, different demands, but the same fundamentals still matter: observation, planning, control, judgement, smoothness and adapting to what is happening around you.

Later, the roles changed again when I moved into the passenger seat for a few laps in the Ariel.
That part was less about learning and more about questioning several of my life choices. 😂

Continuing to learn, accepting feedback and developing your own driving is a big part of why I enjoy teaching in the first place.

And occasionally, learning gets to be a bit more exciting than CPD paperwork.

Driving lessons available across Hamilton, Motherwell & East Kilbride.

I’m badly behind with the pass posts, which is actually quite a nice problem to have 😂

Starting with Kim, who passed the driving test at Hamilton Test Centre on 28th August. 👏🚗

Huge congratulations — a well-earned result!

This was the first of four recent passes from the end of August and September, so as those pupils move on to driving independently, I’ve got a few spaces gradually appearing in the diary.
