Jess Smith - first time pass

Jess Smith, from Horsley Woodhouse, achieved a first‑time pass today with just four driving faults. These were small, nerves‑related moments of over‑caution, and didn’t take anything away from what was a calm, safe and well‑controlled drive.

Her original test was cancelled on the day a few weeks ago and moved to today. It was understandably frustrating, and she very nearly stepped away from the process altogether. Instead, she kept going, and that perseverance showed clearly in the standard of driving she delivered.

Jess has developed into a consistently safe, thoughtful driver, and it’s been a pleasure supporting her progress. I’ll genuinely miss our Tuesday lessons; watching her confidence grow week by week has been brilliant.

Congratulations, Jess - a well‑earned result.
