Congratulations to Phoebe – First Time Pass in Ripley! 🎉

I’m delighted to share some fantastic news from this week - huge congratulations to Phoebe Hurst from Ripley, who passed her automatic driving test first time with just 4 driving faults. 🚗💨

Phoebe has shown real commitment throughout her lessons, steadily building her confidence and skills to become a safe, capable driver. Watching her progress has been a real pleasure, and I couldn’t be prouder of the determination she’s shown to reach this milestone.

Learning to drive in an automatic car gave Phoebe the chance to focus on road awareness, decision‑making, and confidence behind the wheel, and she’s taken full advantage of that. Her result is proof that with the right approach, learners can achieve their goals without unnecessary stress.

It’s always bittersweet when a pupil passes. I’ll miss our lessons, but I know Phoebe will take everything she’s learned and put it into practice out on the roads. I’m confident she’ll continue to drive safely and enjoy the independence that comes with her licence.

A special thank you as well to Phoebe for the thoughtful card and gifts – they really mean a lot. Moments like this remind me why I love what I do.
