BIG CONGRATULATIONS to James Richardson from Biddick Hall, South Shields on PASSING your practical driving test '1st ATTEMPT' with ONLY 4 MINORS today at South Shields driving test centre...

Motorcycle to Car - No Problem!

Throughout your driving lessons James you certainly put the experience you already have riding your motorcycle to good use. If there was anything you were unsure of, you told me straight away and kept asking questions until you were happy you had a good understanding, enabling us to run through those situations to make sure you were confident dealing with them.

Early Christmas Present

That's a nice early Christmas present for yourself James, all you need now is that little Citroen C2 you've promised yourself and you can park your motorbike up for the winter and stay warm travelling to and from work these next few months!

It's been an absolute pleasure helping you learn to drive James, merry Christmas & a happy new year to you, Angela and Bourbon (wuff, wuff!), safe motoring for 2016 and beyond.

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 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.

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 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.

Congratulations to Ben Weightman from Seaburn Dene, Sunderland who passed his practical driving test on Wednesday 2nd October 2013...

Ben passed his driving test at Sunderland driving test centre with only 3 recorded driving faults!

Pleasantly Surprised! 

Not everyone passes their driving test at the first time of asking Ben, but you were determined to pass and you stuck with it and achieved your goal - even if you were a little surprised when the Driving Test Examiner announced you had PASSED!

Family Visits

You mentioned during your driving lessons you have family in Yorkshire and that you're looking forward to driving down there to visit them. Lets hope you get a car soon and it won't be long before you're heading down the A1(m) on that first trip!

Congratulations to Paul Sanders from Cleadon on passing his practical driving test on Wednesday 10th July 2013...

Paul passed his driving test 1st attempt at South Shields driving test centre with only 5 recorded driving faults!

Just Like Riding a Bike! 

"Even though you hadn't driven a car before your first driving lesson with Simply Driving Tuition Driving School, we soon established you were commuting to and from work on a mountain bike and were able to draw similarities between riding a bicycle and driving a motor vehicle.

Brakes to slow you down, steering to turn corners and gears to help you make progress, they all do the same job no matter what type of vehicle it is.

Experience Counts

Not only did you quickly gain confidence with basic vehicle control, you also transferred your experience in dealing with traffic into your driving as well, although at times you did need a little encouragement…

Once or twice I seem to remember asking, “Would you have pulled out there if you had been on your bike?” and you replied “Yes, I wouldn’t have thought twice!”

No worries, you got there in the end and got a cracking test result.

It won’t be long before your driving home to see family and friends in Ulverston, no doubt your girlfriend is looking forward to a relaxing journey in the passenger seat!

It's been an absolute pleasure teaching you to drive Paul, good luck with everything you do in the future and best wishes from your driving instructor Ian and the rest of the team at Simply Driving Tuition Driving School.

Congratulations to Laura Nichol in Sunderland on passing her practical driving test on Friday 28th June 2013...

Laura passed her driving test 1st attempt at Sunderland driving test centre with only 7 recorded driving faults!

"I know how nervous you were when you first started your driving lessons with me at Simply Driving Tuition Driving School, even your first mock driving test was a nerve racking experience for you!

But, your confidence grew throughout your driving lessons and by the second mock driving test you looked a totally different person behind the wheel.

I couldn’t believe how calm you seemed when you jumped in the car this morning, and although you were a little nervous leading up to the start of the test I think you were actually looking forward to it.

You held those nerves together and got a great result at the first time of asking!!"

It's been a pleasure teaching you to drive Laura, good luck with everything you do in the future and best wishes from your driving instructor Ian and the rest of the team at Simply Driving Tuition Driving School.

Congratulations to Katherine Taylor from Seaburn Dene, Sunderland on passing her practical driving test 1st attempt on Wednesday 27 March 2013 at Sunderland Driving Test Centre (DTC)..

Katherine recorded only '2 driving faults' on her driving test, one of which was for the minimum tyre tread depth on the Show-me, Tell-me questions… I’m sure you won’t forget it’s 1.6mm not 2mm from now on Katherine!!

Challenge Accepted!

You mentioned during your driving lessons Katherine that you saw your driving test as a challenge – I can assure you, not many people say that!

Happy Days

You certainly rose to that challenge and got a brilliant result!

As with your sister Rebecca, it’s been a pleasure teaching you to drive Katherine and I wish you every success with your sixth form and university studies.

Good luck with everything you do in the future, drive safe and best wishes from your driving instructor Ian and the team at Simply Driving Tuition Driving School.

Congratulations to James Peart from Seaburn, Sunderland on passing his practical driving test on Thursday 22nd December 2011 at Sunderland driving test centre...

That’s a nice little early Christmas present you’ve given yourself Jim and it will probably take a couple of days to fully sink in.

You mentioned on the way home after the test that you’re a little nervous about driving on your own, the best thing to do is rely on the experience you gained during the 'independent driving' element of your driving lessons and take confidence from that. 

Good luck for the future, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from your driving instructor Ian and the rest of the team at Simply Driving Tuition Driving School.

Congratulations to Viktorija Budvytyte of Fulwell Grange, Sunderland who completed her Pass Plus driver training course on Thursday 30th June 2011…

Viktorija decided to further develop her driving by completing a Pass Plus training course having passed her practical driving test at Sunderland Driving Test Centre on Saturday 25th June 2011.

Having completed her Pass Plus training, Viktorija said: 

"I'm really glad I decided to do the Pass Plus course as it gave me additional experience in driving on busy motorways, how to deal with oncoming vehicles on narrow country lanes using passing places, city centre driving, night time driving, further training on dual-carriageways and bad weather driving which we covered last winter in the snow!

Anyone thinking of doing Pass Plus shouldn't hesitate as it's very worthwhile"

It was a pleasure doing the additional Pass Plus training with you this week Viktorija, good luck with university and best wishes from your driving instructor Ian and the rest of the team at Simply Driving Tuition Driving School.
