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.

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.

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!!

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 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.

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!!"

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.

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.
