Congratulations to Mohamed Ramadan from Southwick, Sunderland on PASSING his practical driving test with Simply Driving Tuition on Friday 14 November 2014 at Sunderland Driving Test Centre...
Testing Conditions!
The weather certainly wasn't on your side Mohamed, you mentioned they were the worst conditions you have ever driven in, including with your driving instructor Ian throughout your driving lessons. Heavy rain and lots of standing water to contend with, not ideal on your driving test!
Because of this you seemed quite surprised when the driving test examiner congratulated you on PASSING your driving test.
It was a pleasure getting to know you Mohamed and being able to help you PASS your driving test. Good luck for the future and HAPPY motoring from your driving instructor Ian and the rest of the team at Simply Driving Tuition Driving School.

Congratulations to Christine Carr from Monkwearmouth, Sunderland on PASSING her practical driving test 1st ATTEMPT with Simply Driving Tuition Driving School on Thursday 16 October 2014 at Sunderland Driving Test Centre...
Convinced I Won't Pass - Really?
Christine, during your driving lessons you convinced yourself that you wouldn't pass your driving test at the first attempt so you wouldn't be too disappointed if that were to happen. Well, you can put those thoughts to rest now and be proud of what you've achieved today!
Grab Those Car Keys
All you need do now is arrange your car insurance, dust the Ford Focus off, grab those car keys and go for a spin. Might pay to wait until the sun comes out, save you having to wash it straight after!
It's been a pleasure helping you pass your driving test Christine, you took my advice on board, used the driving experience you already had and put into practise the things we tightened up on your driving. Safe motoring and best wishes from your driving instructor Ian and the rest of the team at Simply Driving Tuition Driving School.

Congratulations to Alison Nichol from Thorney Close in Sunderland on PASSING her practical driving test with Simply Driving Tuition on Thursday 11 September 2014 at Sunderland Driving Test Centre...
You certainly had a 'cracking' drive today Alison, you didn't let your nerves get the better of you during your driving lesson and test this time round, and you heard the words everyone wants to hear a driving examiner say, "Congratulations, you've PASSED your driving test".
Perseverance Pays!
You mentioned on the way home after your driving test that learning to drive was something you have wanted to do for a long time but never felt you had the confidence to do it. You've certainly put that one to bed Alison.
Well done for sticking with it and you can definitely be proud of what you've achieved today!
It's been a pleasure helping you learn to drive Alison, good luck with everything else you do in future. Safe motoring and best wishes from your driving instructor Ian and the rest of the team at Simply Driving Tuition.

Dean recorded a mere 4 driving faults during his test on Wednesday 30 July 2014 at South Shields Driving Test Centre.
Driving Test Nerves!

Congratulations to Lizzie Fuller from Millfield in Sunderland on PASSING her practical driving test with Simply Driving Tuition Driving School. Lizzie recorded ONLY 4 driving faults during her test at Sunderland  Driving Test Centre (DTC) on Friday 6 June 2014…
Talk about testing your hazard perception skills on the driving lesson leading up to your driving test, white van man doing his best to pull out in front of you and some chaps dog deciding to go for walkies on its own on a 40mph dual carriageway!
Testing Times!
Now that you have finished your exams for university this year and PASSED your driving test you can chill out and relax a little bit now Lizzie. All you need to do now is find that little Ford KA you’ve decided to treat yourself too which should help make your commute to and from work so much easier.
It really has been an absolute pleasure helping you learn to drive Lizzie, good luck with university and everything else you do in future. Safe motoring and best wishes from your driving instructor Ian and the rest of the team at Simply Driving Tuition Driving School.

Congratulations to Dave Ridley from Monkwearmouth, Sunderland on PASSING his practical driving test 1st ATTEMPT with Simply Driving Tuition Driving School on Saturday 7 June 2014 at South Shields Driving Test Centre with ONLY 4 minor driving faults…
Having ridden motorcycles for the last few years Dave decided to try four wheels instead of two and booked driving lessons with ourselves leading up to his driving test.
Happy to Step In and Help!
After taking several driving lessons with another driving instructor and having been unsuccessful at his first driving test attempt, Dave decided to give Simply Driving Tuition a call. We were more than HAPPY to step in and offer any advice we could to help Dave PASS his next practical driving test.
No More Getting Soaked To The Bone
Even though it was pouring with rain on your driving test Dave, you were sitting nice and warm and dry in the driving school car, not getting soaked through to the bone as you would normally be on your motorbike. Guess you've got creature comforts like a heater and windscreen wipers to look forward too now!
Glad we could help you pass your driving test this weekend Dave, all you need to do now is arrange your insurance for the Vectra you have sitting on your mams driveway and away you go.
Enjoy your new motoring lifestyle, best wishes from your driving Ian and the rest of the team at Simply Driving Tuition Driving School.

Congratulations to Abbe Cuthbertson from Fulwell in Sunderland, on PASSING her practical driving test with ONLY 3 recorded driving faults on Thursday 1 May 2014 at Sunderland Driving Test Centre (DTC)...
I know it took a couple of attempts to pass Abbe but, next driving lesson you asked lots of questions about the problem on test and got plenty of practise in those situations when possible.
Practise Makes Perfect!
Over the next few driving lessons you kept practising what you had learnt with your driving instructor as well as gaining more experience with pedestrian crossings in busy areas during half term, Pallion shopping centre certainly springs to mind!
This time round you didn't seem quite so nervous going for your driving test, which I'm sure helped boost your confidence just that little bit more.
Everyone's a Little Nervous on the Day!
If anyone tells you they weren't nervous before their driving test - DON'T BELIEVE THEM!
Even experienced drivers get a few butterfly's before test, it's only natural. You certainly kept on top of those nerves and put in an absolutely 'cracking' drive, even with the Driving Examiner mispronouncing your name!
It's been an absolute pleasure helping you learn to drive Abbe, good luck with your forthcoming exams and the rest of your studies. Drive safe and best wishes from your Driving Instructor Ian and the rest of the team at Simply Driving Tuition Driving School.

Congratulations to Rebecca Lowes from Cleadon on PASSING her practical driving test at the 1st ATTEMPT on Wednesday 26 March 2014 at Sunderland Driving Test Centre (DTC)…
Even though Rebecca felt quite nervous on the day, she had a very confident drive passing with only 3 recorded driving faults!
Keeping Those Nerves in Check!
Rebecca, you mentioned on your driving lessons leading up to your test that you were starting to feel a bit nervous. Well, you certainly didn’t let your nerves get the better of you and you had an absolutely cracking drive.
You also told me that you have been learning to drive on and off for a couple of years now and that you were unsure if the day you sat a driving test would ever arrive. That day has arrived and you can be proud that you PASSED with flying colours!!
Driving With Confidence
You’re the first to acknowledge that your concentration isn’t the greatest at the best of times Rebecca! But, over the last few weeks your concentration levels improved significantly, which in turn allowed you to grow more confident with your driving enabling you to PASS your practical driving test 1st attempt!
It’s been a pleasure teaching you to drive over the last few months Rebecca, good luck with everything you do in future, safe driving and best wishes from your Driving Instructor Ian and the rest of the team at Simply Driving Tuition Driving School.

Congratulations to Yvonne Gitendorfa from Thornhill in Sunderland on PASSING her practical driving test at the 1st attempt with Simply Driving Tuition on Friday 21 March 2014 at Sunderland Driving Test Centre…
Even though Yvonne found the driving test a SCARY thought, she had a FANTASTIC drive receiving only 4 minor driving faults!
Feeling Scared – REALLY?
When I text you the night before your driving test to remind you which documents to bring with you, you text back saying how scared you were feeling about your test.
You certainly didn’t look that scared the following morning when I picked you up Yvonne, either that or you’re picking up a few tips from your partner Mark on how to look relaxed on the outside whilst feeling a little anxious on the inside!!
A Life Changing Experience
On your first driving lesson with myself Yvonne, you mentioned having previously taken several driving lessons and a driving test with another driving school about three years ago. You also said that at the time you didn’t feel ready or confident enough to go for a driving test.
I hope this time around, deep down you felt more confident in your own ability behind the wheel and that has helped you to PASS your driving test!
Grab Those Car Keys and Go For a Spin!
Having both you and Mark just recently purchased a Volkswagen Polo, no doubt you’ll be itching to get behind the wheel and clock up a few miles on a sunny afternoon drive. Lets just hope there aren’t too many arguments about who’s driving!
Yvonne, it’s been an absolute pleasure teaching you to drive over the last few months, good luck with University and your future teaching career and best wishes from your Driving Instructor Ian and the rest of the team at Simply Driving Tuition Driving School.

Congratulations to Kieron Casey from Tyne Dock, South Shields on PASSING his practical driving test '1st attempt' on Friday 14 March 2014 at South Shields Driving Test Centre…
Even though Kieron felt very nervous before the test, he had a cracking drive receiving only 3 recorded driving faults.
Settling Those Nerves!
You text me about an hour before your driving lesson on the day of your test Kieron to tell me how nervous you felt, well you didn’t let those nerves get the better of you and you drove smooth and confident as always!
Four Wheels Better Than Two!
Now you have your full drivers licence you’ll be able to take the missus and kids out on day trips when it gets a bit warmer, not an easy thing to do when you’ve been using a motorbike for the last few years!!
It’s been a pleasure teaching you to drive and help you PASS your driving test Kieron, good luck in future and safe motoring from your Driving Instructor Ian and the rest of the team at Simply Driving Tuition Driving School.

Congratulations to Mark Riley from Thornhill in Sunderland who passed his practical driving test 1st attempt on Thursday 13th February 2014 at Sunderland Driving Test Centre...
Not only has Mark PASSED at the first attempt, but with ONLY 7 recorded driving faults as well!
Taking It in Your Stride! 
Mark, you didn't seem at all phased by the thought of sitting your driving tests, be it the driving theory or practical driving test, which I'm glad to say you passed each at the first attempt!
Even sitting in on your practical driving test, you didn't seem at all phased with the Driving Examiner sitting along side you. 
Double Celebration?
Lets hope your SUCCESS rubs off on Yvonne, your partner and we have another reason to celebrate in the not too distant future. Then you just need to AGREE on what type of car to buy!!
It really has been an absolute pleasure teaching you to drive these last few months Mark, good luck for the future and best wishes from your driving instructor Ian and the rest of the team at Simply Driving Tuition Driving School.

Congratulations to David Riddell in Sunderland who passed his practical driving test 1st attempt on Thursday 23rd January 2014 at Sunderland Driving Test Centre...
David has the honour of being Simply Driving Tuition Driving Schools first pupil to pass their practical driving test in 2014, and not only did he PASS first attempt, but with ONLY a mere 4 recorded driving faults as well!
Driving Ambition Achieved! 
You mentioned several times whilst on your driving lessons David you have wanted to learn to drive from a very young age, well you've finally achieved your ambition, even if you have waited a little longer than most!
Initial Concerns.
After initially speaking with your mam over the telephone and hearing her concerns about getting the 'right' Driving Instructor for you because of your situation with ADHD, I'm glad that by the end of the conversation and your first driving lesson both you and your mam were confident you had found 'that' Driving Instructor.
It really has been an absolute pleasure teaching you to drive David, good luck and best wishes from your driving instructor Ian and the rest of the team at Simply Driving Tuition Driving School.
