Learning to drive is a life skill and I am committed to educating my pupils on how to be 'safe for life' as opposed to teaching them to 'pass the test'. For this reason I will not allow my pupils to take their driving test until I am completely confident in their ability to be a SAFE and totally independent driver and I expect pupils and their parents to trust my judgement on this.

Statistics show that 1 in 5 newly qualified drivers will be involved in an accident during their first year of driving. I believe that experience is the key to reducing this alarming statistic as the more driving experience a novice can gain, the more adept they will be at dealing with high risk situations.

From experience I know that pupils who follow a regular lesson plan will reach test standard more quickly than those who take a break from lessons and return to them at a later date. For this reason, before learning to drive, pupils should consider other commitments i.e. exams, extended holidays, etc.

When a pupil is nearing test standard I perform mock tests thus placing the pupils in an exam situation and taking the opportunity to cover many types of road conditions. During this time I pay special attention to any weaknesses and focus on the most common driver faults which I know from past experience can cost people their test and more importantly lead to potential accidents.

I'm an 'A' grade instructor and I have been teaching and coaching for over 18 years so I have clocked up a lot of experience as well as miles during that time. I pride myself on the high standard of the pupils I enter for test and my main priority is to ensure that all my pupils are not only capable of passing their practical test but are also experienced enough not to endanger their own life and the lives of others.

'It's not all about the test, it's a skill for life.'
